Nobody gives a fuck what companies own these data centers I don’t want power grids to be hogged by them and the noise pollution associated with them. Not sure why you’re always so obsessed with dying on stupid hills just to differentiate yourself from progressives

it's wild how republicans will be like "governing is bad, also elect me to govern you" and people do and they put their promise into practice and don't govern, run everything off a cliff, bankrupt everyone, light the world on fire, and after a while people forget about that and let them do it again

About 80% of the people who think trans women shouldn't be allowed to play sports also believe that cis women shouldn't be allowed to play sports.

I’ll never understand smoked meats as long as I live. I will never get wanting to preserve the awful taste of smoke like it enhances the flavor profile of the food

This is as detailed and as brutal an analysis of Ben Shapiro as you'll ever read. Incredible effort by Mike Brock. The detail here makes it all the more insane than some 'mainstream' podcasters are fawning over Shapiro...
The structure is one-way and worth naming plainly.

You concede every factual claim your interlocutor makes. Yes, Trump is corrupt. Yes, Trump tried to overturn the election. Yes, Trump’s loyalists are unfit. Yes, the reframing of January 6 is awful. Yes, the family enrichment is unprecedented. Yes, the response to political murders is morally egregious. You concede all of it.

You then argue that none of these concessions can justify changing your vote, because what you are voting for is policy. The policy is what matters. The character, the corruption, the constitutional vandalism — all of these are bundled with the policy and you cannot get the policy without the bundle. So you take the bundle. You take the wannabe dictator because you also get the tax cut, the conservative judges, the Israel alignment, the DEI rollback. The plumber fixes the toilet. The footprints on the floor are the cost of doing business.

When the interviewer asks what would constitute disqualifying behavior — the level of corruption, the level of constitutional violation, the level of cultural degradation — you respond that disqualifying is not a meaningful concept, because politics is binary and the alternative is worse. There is no level. There is no threshold. There is only the comparison. As long as Kamala Harris exists, Trump cannot be disqualified. As long as a Democrat exists who would do the wrong things on Israel or DEI or taxes, no Republican can be disqualified.

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

The US desperately suing for peace and Iran refusing. A war that the US, not Iran, started with a surprise decapitation strike a month ago. The most abject military and diplomatic humiliation in modern history. Trump should be dragged out in chains.

99% of the time I see young men explaining why they're Trumpers and hate Democrats, it's not just erroneous, it's nowhere close to reality. They live in an alternate universe created by right-wing social media.
