If the fact that burning fossil fuels is directly leading to the imminent demise of humanity isn't enough for you, now consider how you filling up your gas/diesel tank is directly funding terrorism on all possible fronts.

Reddit, Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, etc only serve to embolden them. We've all seen the widespread incitements to violence on here that get thousands of likes, spread by accounts with 100s of 1,000s of followers.

Seriously if you can't tell these accounts are run by bots plz get off the internet. Also, touch of humor on the side. The AI Progressive Bot account has to claim to be against AI, & it amasses 1000s of human luddite followers! Figure that out. Don't try too hard though you might enter the Matrix

Let's just say that people that live in a tiny slice of a computerized fantasy realm for a living might not be the best people to predict total political, societal, & anthropological collapse. Regardless of their aspiration to become a pundit or sell books.

Jacob Coxon (the one most frequently cited on the "I left my job because of AI doomsday") also happens to believe climate change is a total hoax. He agrees with president Trump & has appeared on Hannity. Yudkowsky predicted a 70% likelihood of a nanotechnology-nuclear doomsday between 2003-2015.

Because of course the AI doomsdayers the mass media continues to fawn over also happen to be Nazis & other various kinds of conspiracy theorist cranks going back many years before AI. How these people even held down a job for a few years at Meta, Google, OpenAI, etc is itself kind of a miracle.

Mike Rogers served in the Army as well as in the FBI. He has sacrificed for our country & WILL put our country before Muslim theocracies in the middle east. At least Rogers is pro-USA & does not sympathize with terrorists. Do NOT just hold your nose & vote El-Sayed just because he's a Democrat.

Moderator: who is a bigger threat to America: Iran or Israel? Abdul El-Sayed: ridiculous question, both dangerous, & Israel is not an ally 😬 This is a dangerous fundamentalist that has no place anywhere in the US govt. Abdul was brought to us by the same ppl that brought us Fetterman & Platner.

Putting healthy kids with no mental health issues down a clinical pathway, pathologizing them & telling them that in fact they are screwed up in the head when they otherwise would never have been told that, is NOT helping kids. Remember "first, do no harm"? Many seem not to.

Pouring massive sums of public moneys into new mental healthcare programs for *subclinical* issues is one of the most indirect solutions to a problem I have seen in some time Spending on screening & then targeting the social determinants of health is a DIRECT, cheaper, & far more impactful solution

Herb @dropthet.bsky.social · 7h

The social determinants of health (social connections, housing, food security) have been shown to drive 60-70% of health outcomes in ppl. The whole sum of interventions by the healthcare system drives only 10-15% of health outcomes. Which does this article focus on as a solution for "screen time"?

Herb @dropthet.bsky.social · 7h

One argument you constantly hear time & again from the far left is "well if Trump can do it why can't we?" (we meaning the far left). So not only are classical liberals under attack from Trumpism from the right but they're also under attack from Trumpism from the left. And the walls are closing in.

The far left: livestreaming the execution of a Muslim terrorist is extremely worse than the mass murder of Americans in Texas by said Muslim terrorist. This guy will be made a far left Saint by the end of this sordid event.

These kids are morbidly fat, diabetic, depressed, anxious, exposed to a million toxic chemicals to an extreme degree all as a result of our choosing -- but look out NFL we are coming at you with a CTE lawsuit for f*cking up our kids 😇😇

We get repetitive small brain injuries from a million things throughout our lives & the only one anyone seems to care about is pro football. IMO wrapping your kid in bubble wrap & never letting them out of your sight isn't much of a solution either. But, they won't get CTE! 🙂

I just worry about these girls (& all kids) on turf. Wish they played on real grass.

I believe you're only allowed a buzz cut in R electoral politics if you're in the military lane, even if you've clearly got male pattern hair issues. The only option is the Reagan cut.

There are other examples. I'm not a Rand Paul fan. At all. It's just very wrong to portray someone who is not a clinician or any kind of medical expert at all as a licensed physician. You're allowing him to further his lie that you ought to be either calling him on or at least neutral on.

000

Clearly written by a "Dr." Abdul activist. What do I even pay the NYT for if not to be blatant boosters for a con man like this "Dr.". Try using the search engine on NYT & see how many times NYT has ever referred to Rand Paul (an actual licensed physician with decades of service) as Dr. No, really.

They've gone through every permutation of coach & style imaginable to make this set of players work. If not for Dak carrying the team on his back all these years they'd be the Browns. Coaching can only alter so much. They continuously have poor drafts, overpay their own, & 0 in free agency.

Abdul El-Sayed got asked if patients get to keep their health insurance if they want to and he said YES! Abdul is no longer for Medicare for All. Either that or the thing that his supporters have been owning every other Democrat for saying is suddenly what they want.

000

Biden people are already panning El-Sayed's poor debate showing against Mike Rogers. Even this analysis is IMO charitable. You'll be told other things by Abdul's friends in the media & social media of course.

010

But the clip machine has already far overrode the actual debate performance... 99% of the effect is the clips.

000

El-Sayed was pretty disastrous from that perspective. Who knows what he's for anymore though he's trying to lurch all his positions to the right. He talked really fast like he usually does & also never really counteracted anything Rogers said. Came off like a podcast bro used to one-way traffic.

Then why did he just say live during the debate that anyone can keep their insurance if they want to? Did he say that in the glorious bestest book ever?

000

Why did El-Sayed just say now that he supports anyone keeping their insurance that wants to? Isn't that what M4A people freak out about when normal Democrats say that

000

El-Sayed said during the debate that you can keep your insurance if you want to. His own words. So he isn't for Medicare for All either now. Err wait ummm you don't like Medicare for All anymore cool. Lol

000

What should be breaking news tonight is that Abdul El-Sayed has come out AGAINST Medicare for All. Incredible. He claimed tonight to be in favor of people keeping their insurance if they want to. This is the *exact* phrasing that his supporters have viciously owned Democrats for saying in the past.

000

Mike Rogers notes that the entire day of October 7 came & went without Abdul El-Sayed even FEIGNING sorrow ONCE at the events of that day 3 years ago Abdul doesn't take the obvious counter reply & say how horrible those events were & how he stands with the Jewish people. No, he just deflected again

100

Mike Rogers mentions that Abdul El-Sayed's mom was involved with funneling money to Al-Qaeda. Very straightforward opportunity for El-Sayed to say that never happened & condemn it in strong terms, but he did not. He deflected again. He thinks he's smarter than you. He thinks you won't notice.

So now you're arguing in favor of Trump being qualified enough. Thanks so much for just owning me with that. El-Sayed's followers are easy marks for manipulation. He's a highly intelligent man, no doubt, & he uses his intelligence to con people instead of benefiting humanity.

010

I've never seen Abdul El-Sayed this angry. It's bubbling over a little more than halfway through. Being confronted with objective documented reality must be seriously alarming when you're in the podcast bro, Hasan Piker, TikTok crowd for all these years.

I've never voted for 1 single Republican in my entire life. Sorry Mike Rogers was wrong! Abdul has 4.5 years of work experience. Not 4!
