According to Bluesky, if nine people sit at a table with one Nazi, there are ten Nazis at the table. So if fifty people go to a protest and one of them shoots a police officer...

It's funny seeing in action the indestructible myth that the United States Government is stingy and callous, disdainful of the bottom quintile. Au contraire: It shovels billions upon billions of dollars into its vast social welfare bureaucracy.

Got my black wife a watermelon for Juneteenth, and we laughed, because it's a silly holiday and neither of us care about modern racial narcissism. Happy slave day or whatever, though.

Of course. Just make him withdraw his trillion dollars of cash from the ATM and distribute it to one million people in a country of over 300 million. It's so obvious.

Elon Musk is such a powerful oligarch that he regularly ends up in court for frivolities like "prove your falling rocket motors won't land on a whale." Truly a man beyond reach.

You (we!) increased immigration to unprecedented levels in liberal democracies which explicitly privilege and reward ethnic factionalism. Obviously there's race riots. What are you going to do about it? Censor the internet? What are we doing here?

People are actually right to be skeptical and conspiracy-minded around elections. You should assume every election is dirty until proved clean. Can you link every ballot in California with the living, breathing voter in whose name it was cast? If you can't do that, I'm afraid the election is a sham.

It was always going to end up as a lame spectacle in the Red vs. Blue nursing home brawl. Whichever party controls the White House determines whose brand of tired propaganda gets showcased. It happens to be Red this time.

The fact that the Digwa family thought concocting a racism narrative would shield them from police action pretty much gives the game away.

Reminder that the issue at hand is a homicide in which the police arrested the dying victim on the word of his assailant for what appear to be racial reasons. Catastrophizing about an opposition figure is obviously the British state conducting narrative control.

"My politics are a baseline of decent behavior, and your politics are an intentional deviation from that" really is a cunning Jedi mind trick against the many, many people whose primary directive is "be basically good and decent." Smuggles all those pernicious ideas right past their defenses.

The American government has (or had - Trump may have scrapped it) a "Community Relations Service" which coaches the parents of victims like Nowak to make such statements. The UK might have a similar institution. A lot of these statements are basically made under duress.

I'm really appalled by this trend wherein empathy is fêted as the queen of virtues. It's not a synonym for "compassion." Most of these people have no theory of mind for people outside their own tradition which doesn't boil down to "they're evil."

Nihilism is the virtue of our age. The world and all its history can be seen in color once you spit out the tired old myths. It's easy when you realize everyone's just pretending anyways. Democracy? Revolution? Freedom? Equality? It was always pretense. You just have to stop.

The hollow moral center of liberal modernity is why I can't regard its complaints as earnest. You don't like Epstein. Okay. What did he do that was wrong? Molest children? Why is that wrong? Who decides? Public sentiment? Not an unmoved mover. Your line will never hold, not in the long run.

Put it in the Blade Runner setting. Make it a Western. Noir detective style. Gritty Vietnam war movie. For God's sake, make it a Toy Story sequel. Anything but this tired old rendition of "racial opera with a peanut gallery."

The actual ugliness of the new Odyssey movie is that the tale can have ANY setting. "O Brother Where Art Thou" placed it in the Depression-era American South. Too bad: all we get now is the rotten yin-yang of the sterile Hollywood machine vs. outrage slop merchants.

Clear difference here between a statesman (Xi) and a politician (any elected member of FedGov). Ultimately, this is because Xi's power is real, not just ceremonial.

Might start paying attention to the LA mayoral election. Considering the strength of the political machines in CA, I doubt it's even a real contest, but California politics are fun to watch because of the ANC-tier corruption masquerading as weepy liberal charity programs.

Disclaimer: I'm American, BUT I got my tech degree at a popular institution with a very solid reputation. The walls were plastered with "women in STEM" infographics and the like. My graduating class was 100% male. The Early Childcare class across the street was 100% female.

Years ago, I actually looked closely at a framed piece of art which had hung in my aunt's house for many years. A cluster of wildflowers done in oil pastel. The little scribble in the corner, barely legible, was my name. I only barely remembered drawing it as a child.

1) NYPD brings a man in for a psychiatric evaluation 2) Man is released after an hour 3) Hours later, the same man shoves a 76-year-old down a flight of subway stairs - fatally. Hey, they're your policies, not mine.

The funny election results coming out of Yookay aren't surprising. It's a senile welfare state in a state of visible and rapid decline. It has no purpose, no moral center. Elections will be rougher the closer to the status quo your party is.

My Occam's Razor theory is that Israel is moving now because they know they're on a timer. Well within our lifetimes, support for Israel will very quickly flip from a de facto requirement to a ten-ton albatross around the neck of anyone seeking elected office. They need to make hay beforehand.

My heavily pregnant wife is somehow a stronger swimmer than me. We race across the pool, and I have to cheat to win (grab an ankle and pull). I chalk it up to the baby bump giving her an edge in buoyancy.
