They all learned it from the same place: endemic rape culture.

The biggest criticism of AI is the theft of intellectual property. This is an example. By your reasoning, carjacking is not a crime because the victim was driving at the time.

These guys never read Ray Bradbury or Kurt Vonnegut. Or if they did, they didn’t realize the stories were dystopian.

Not if the perpetrators were Eastern Orthodox.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Also true. But the biggest deterrent to mass protest in the US is lack of job and healthcare security.

You g people in France can’t be fired from their jobs if they take to the streets. And even if they were, they wouldn’t lose healthcare benefits.

Nice that they gave to put their little anti Jewish dig in there. Sounds like if Kushner and Epstein weren’t Jewish, the Albanians wouldn’t have any problem with what they did.

I guess the Hungarians didn’t know that.

They should be given the same respect as the Mob or any other criminal organization.

He’s worried about his source of illicit income.

That’s what you get for being so smart!

In Rick Riordan’s Magnus Chase series, one of the main characters is Samirah "Sam" al-Abbas, a Valkyrie and a devout Muslim. Definitely on the side of good.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Maybe, but I’m willing to bet that there are many sexual assault survivors who won’t appreciate this nuance.

I’m sure that’s what his advisors tell him. Nevertheless, he IS in the psychosis stage of malignant narcissism.

Please don’t post misinformation. The President can’t pardon state crimes.

I enjoy it every year when they ask me for a donation and I get to tell them how disgusting they are. I make sure the student knows that I have nothing against them.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

What I’m trying to understand is this: suppose I see a guy stagger out of a bar. I knock him down and take his valuables. Apparently, that isn’t robbery because he was consensually drunk?

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Typical. If anything good happens to [insert person from marginalized group here], they stole it. If anything bad happens, they deserved it.

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yes. My point is that Middle East politics has always been too complicated for the West to understand and we continually make a hash of it.

110

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

1500 years ago was 526, the Byzantine Empire, which didn’t get along with Muslims. In 1453, the Ottmans took over. They persecuted Arabs. This is public knowledge.

010

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Sorry, but your view of Middle Eastern history doesn’t align with the facts.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

There is no Zionist playbook. There is only non-Jewish paranoia. Bibi isn’t helping.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Did you ever attend a Seder? If so, you would have encountered “Next year in Jerusalem.” as part of Ha lachma anya. Jerusalem was barred to Jews until the formation of Israel and it was not until after the Six Day War that Jews got access to the Western Wall, the holiest shrine in Jerusalem.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The keffiyeh is Iraqi in origin and was adopted by Arafat, an Egyptian and a Soviet asset. The Middle East is too complicated for most Americans to understand.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

OK. Let’s have some naked antisemitism here!

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Absolutely. Netanyahu’s response to the attack, in addition to being horrendous, is actually strategically dumb because it has irreparably harmed Israel’s standing. My conspiracy theory is that he’s doing it for money. Everything a malignant narcissist does is transactional.

100

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

But please be advised that Zionism is a part of the Jewish religion. Israel for Jews is like Mecca or Bethlehem for other religions. Be careful how you use the word Zionist because it’s a dogwhistle for antisemitism, even if you didn’t mean it in that way.

310

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I don’t like to advance conspiracy theories, but with a malignant narcissist, conspiracies are often real. Suppose Bibi was complicit because he thought it would give him an excuse to take over Gaza and make some money from Kushner? It’s a fine line between conspiracy and opportunism.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Are we sure this guy is a real person?

020

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

This guys reminds me of the Jews who voted for Hitler. Same stupidly uninformed attitude.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Most like because he’s a rapist.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Christianity has a commandment about killing. Which religion do you think he’s referring to?

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It’s a human trait to normalize behavior. When my Mom was diagnosed with dementia, few people in her retirement complex knew it. Even when she was publicly peeing in trash cans. But in this case, I think you are confusing dementia with aphasia.

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

OK. But as my wife pointed out, how come men can show up to a frat party drunk as they want to and not be raped? How can they walk around shirtless with no consequences?

110

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

That’s not an argument. Vance doesn’t have personal relationships with our enemies.

Furthermore, the part of the brain that is occluded destroys short term memory on one side and spacial awareness on the other. Does Trump tend to walk off in the wrong direction? Yes.

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

What we don't know is if Trump's dementia is caused by Alzheimer's or by TIAs. His droopy face points toward the latter.

100

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Well, if you put it that way, there is no evidence that the world around us exists at all. If I see a duck, is it really a duck? Similarly, if those of us who have experienced a loved one with dementia recognize the pattern, is it really dementia?

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Women should have the right to get as drunk as they want without the risk of becoming a victim of violent crime.

Dementia is a better argument for removing him from office than his being an asshole. The latter is only a matter of opinion.

People forget that SCOTUS rulings ultimately depend on the consent of the people. There are more of us than there are of them.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This is what I’ve been saying! Of course, it’s because I read your in-depth analysis a while back.

010

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

That’s how you measure war crimes? By number of bombs?

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Just so you know, we were able successfully to get our campaign donations refunded. This is because you attacked our friends and family with your hateful comments against trans people.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The data centers are destroying the environment’s ability to support human life. That’s how AI will kill us all.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Do you cover the corruption, bribery, and lying during confirmation hearings?

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

But if they throw trans kids under the bus, it will be another step towards Nazism.

000

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

You need to apply Jesus’s teachings to all God’s creatures. Except you singled out trans kids as not deserving that treatment. The Bible recognizes more than two genders. Which parts of the Bible do you find fit to ignore?

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It was already written. It was called the Constitution. The Supreme Court decided to pass its own law.
