This is hilarious - you can't make this up. Sen. Eric Schmidt (Missouri) just humiliated himself alleging falsely that Jack Smith was in Atlanta at an NBA "Hawks" game. Smith was in Maryland at a women's "Hawkeyes" game

I mean, honest to god, Sen. Eric Schmitt (correctly spelled) literally concocted a whole conspiracy between Jack Smith and Fani Willis all because he didn't know the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes. You're literally next door to Iowa, bro. Like how dumb are you

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Right I can help here. See, I accounted for your experience when I said “many do not” which necessarily means ”some do”. You are in the “some”, which I then go on to say isn’t my concern in this conversation. Your experience isn’t ignored, it simply isn’t the thing we are talking about right now.

As an LGBTQ elder who’s been fighting for our rights since the AIDS crisis, it is my duty to dole out tough love when members of our own community are harming themselves or our community. And telling people not to vote Dem when we’ve already lost rights in GOP states YEARS AGO is harming us all.

I… think the Macklemore coverage may have been a distraction from whatever this is

Twitter: @AGHamilton29 • 17h
A few key revelations related to Gaza coverage in last few days:
- Almost all of the media in Gaza were in a Hamas-run WhatsApp group that dictated and coordinated coverage. Including contributors to major western news organizations.
- Al Jazeera fired 24 of their media members from Gaza for direct ties to terror groups
- Admission that anyone in Gaza who reported anything contrary to Hamas claims was likely to be killed by Hamas.
Almost all of the information that came out of Gaza was part of a coordinated disinformation campaign by the very people who started the war.

Screenshots embedded within the tweet: @EFischberger
X.com
So it turns out that Hamas runs a WhatsApp group with all of Gaza's journalists, where Hamas "managed the discourse and the narrative."
These outlets have "journalists" in Gaza:
Reuters, AP, NYT, CNN, Wapo, PBS, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Drop Site News

Al Jazeera fires 24 journalists, staff from Gaza amid lawsuit alleging Hamas, PIJ ties - report

The lawsuit was filed in February 2025, names the employees and alleges that some Al Jazeera staff members had ties to terrorist organizations and, in some cases, were members of those groups.

this u?

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge.
But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
