I hike a lot. I sue banks for a living. I’m a sober single parent, learning Japanese for fun. I just ate an amazing raw carrot. I’m not kidding; it was really wonderful.

@washingtonpost.com I just canceled my WaPo subscription. WaPo is owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos. Its articles on anti-oligarch Platner are flagrantly biased. Beyond that, they’re petty, irrelevant and violate Platner’s privacy. WaPo should stop being the smear-gun of insecure oligarchs.

Thiel’s infantile theories about the anti-Christ implicitly imply that he is the re-embodiment of Christ. I doubt he’s absorbed anything that Jesus said. E.g., Matthew XIX, 24: “I tell you that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter God’s Kingdom.”

Why don’t the Dodgers bench Ohtani, since he isn’t really making an effort? Is Ohtani placing bets against the Dodgers, and trying to ensure that he wins his bets? Is that why he’s playing so poorly? Or is he just a terrible post-season player?

I think he’s right. If there were a heaven, he’d be excluded. I wonder if in his mind heaven is like Epstein’s island?

One of the reasons ChatGPT becomes toxic for psychologically vulnerable people is because it’s convincingly sycophantic. The same can be said about all of Trump’s advisors, e.g., his cabinet members. They form a positive feedback loop of delusion.

Kirk was an ignorant and depraved henchman for Trump. He fueled his career with vitriolic rhetoric, often targeting vulnerable minorities. He was a cowardly polemicist, and targeted his hateful shallow message at relatively intellectually defenseless young people.

Politicians line up to condemn “political violence,” as if murdering a politician is somehow more deplorable than murdering a non-politician. It’s not.

Absolutely deplorable. It’s like Israel and Russia are in contests of brutality and barbarism.

Trump claims the labor numbers were rigged to make him look bad. This impliedly admits that if they were accurate, he did a bad job. In fact, Trump is flailing across the board.

Israel is as barbaric as any nation in human history. Israelis who do not speak out against the genocide in Gaza are just as morally deficient as the Germans who failed to speak out against Nazi atrocities.

That’s a start. Katherine Maher should be axed as well. NPR has become a gutless DEI showcase with zero journalistic integrity and even less courage. How ironic that NPR strains for years to avoid offending the GOP, only to have their public funding cut anyway.

Edith Chapin stepping down at NPR is a positive development. Now Katherine Maher must follow. NPR is a grotesque DEI showcase with no journalistic integrity. I loath DJT, but he did the right thing to eliminate NPR’s public funding. #npr #dei

Trump’s announcement today of a 50 day deadline on a Russia/Ukraine peace deal is a meaningless distraction from the ongoing controversy regarding the Epstein files.

@npr.org I despise Trump and his agenda. But I understand he wants to cut off funding to NPR. NPR is a DEI showcase project which savagely banished Garrison Keillor for the flimsiest imagined offense during Me Too’s rabid peak. NPR is basically worthless, and I hope DJT manages to kill it off.

Israel claims it was only targeting Iran’s nuclear program — which Trump reported was completely obliterated by his bombing. Yet Israel continues its violence, now selecting targets not related to the nuclear program at all. Let’s admit it: Israel seeks total regional domination.

Iran has as much right to nuclear weaponry as the U.S. or Israel. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Trump has evidently decided that Netenyahu is the U.S. commander in chief. What a wretched coward.

I wonder when Republicans will stop letting pathological extremists in the Israeli government stop dictating American foreign policy?

The Israeli army sets death traps for children they are forcing into starvation. You won’t find more sick-hearted, shocking cruelty in human history. Why? Israeli right wing lunatics want to either drive out or exterminate all Palestinians in order to steal their land. And they enjoy it.

For that matter I doubt Trump could find Idaho on a map. Trump’s views on Iran (if he truly has any) are rooted in profound ignorance. He acts on whims and reflexes, not data. When he says “Nobody know what I’m going to do,” he includes himself. His self-awareness is that of a boiled cabbage.

I imagine all of the people Netanyahu considers friends are sociopathic, morally vacuous egomaniacs like Trump. Israel’s ongoing violence is appalling and unjustifiable.

Let me guess: Once Israel’s psychopathic leader Netanyahu showers Trump with enough gifts, Trump will announce that he has decided to “liberate” the people of Iran. You know, like we liberated the people of Afghanistan.

Media in the U.S. — even purportedly leftist media organizations — are all too willing to adopt Israeli propaganda about Iran. The greater problem is the willful blindness to the historical context (such as the US’s relentless unprovoked hostility toward Iran, Israel’s regional aggression, etc.).

A mad dog pumped with mentally deranging steroids by the U.S. In regard to the U.S., Iran’s offense lies in not wanting to be dominated by a distant foreign power. The U.S. was complicit in overthrowing Mosaddegh, and propping up the oppressive Shah. How dare a sovereign nation resist the U.S.

The savagery and stupidity of the Netanyahu regime is horrific. Unfortunately the US enables his brutal insanity. I doubt nuclear weapons are safer with Israel than they would be in Iran, yet mainstream media brainlessly overlooks that Israel possesses nuclear weapons.

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/o... The author fails to show that porn is harmful (or that the belief in its harmlessness is “delusion”). The argument relies on supposition, feelings, anecdotes masquerading as data.

@lacity.bsky.social Over-compensating for Mayor Bass’ dangerously incompetent response to the massively destructive fires, now the City is issuing arbitrary and sweeping closures of parks. This is totally useless, it harms the people, and fails to restore Bass’ permanently damaged reputation.
