Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

How far into that article would I have to read to find out that these people aren't thought leaders of any sort, aren't leftist in any meaningful way, and them being described as intellectuals would stretch credulity

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the
ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear
how he was injured). But when the patient was
loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the
ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the
ambulance driver:

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

Honestly pretty funny that a mayoral election has a police department better funded than most militaries with offices in foreign countries and a collosal legal and propaganda apparatus making public proclamations that they're shaking and peeing their pants

I know we all think of AI as a technology, but to me as a college instructor, the analogy is probably more to things like term paper mills

None of us are saying, “well, gosh, students can download term papers for a small fee, I guess we have to learn how to integrate this into our classroom”

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

these little dudes lack self confidence so it is easier for them to approach and attempt to have sex with a woman if they imagine instead of people that the ladies are a set of systems that they have been taught the cheat codes to. maybe the least cool generation in a thousand years
