The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

For a while people were trying to make "skeet" a thing despite (or maybe because of) the Lil' Jon reference.

Because they have run out of ways to distort reality to their followers...

I'd be curious to see actual data. "Suggestions" isn't something I would normally rely on but I also struggle to believe that there isn't something wrong in the economic numbers we're seeing.

That's awesome. It's too bad I deleted my Substack account cause I don't hang out in Nazi bars.

and focus on the real enemy which is the state GOP. This makes it sound like the GOP is bad but so is the district and that just isnt the case IMHO. If she had the money to do all the things you're proposing she would. /3

the district had tons of options and just randomly decided to choose all the worst ones. The new super is trying to right size all the problems the previous one left her with. If you want people to support public schools start with building up the new admin who is trying to do the right things 2/

Not sure where you get your info from, but it's $46M, no need to over inflate, and most of this wouldn't have been necessary if the previous admin had been doing their jobs in the first place. Agree that we should provide more money at the state level, but you're coming in hot and making it sound 1/

I would argue far more than half as the "neither" are effectively saying the anti-vax crowd is correct. Who would say that the science isn't settled and that they don't know that vaccines are safe and then get one anyway?

I also missed the pun initially...

God damn it, why is our reality so fucked that I thought this was real!?

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has replaced the Tornado Watch for southern Wisconsin until 4 am.

Wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour, golfball size hail, and isolated tornadoes possible overnight.

Have a way to receive warnings when you’re sleeping.

At first glance, I thought you gave him a reverse Mohawk.

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

Oh sweet, I'll check back tomorrow and see if your prediction comes true.

First few seconds, watch the shadow of the cat's tail "jump" the shadows don't line up with how light actually behaves. There's other signs, but that was the most obvious one to me.

I didn't understand that dynamic, thank you for the explanation. Stay positive, we have the momentum right now.

Thank you for the explanation, I follow CA politics but am not from the state so wasn't aware of that. That said, I still am optimistic that voters will coalesce around a solid candidate in the end.

Why on earth would you be afraid that CA won't be able to elect a Dem governor? There are multitudes of qualified candidates, move on and pick the next one to support, this honestly doesn't change all that much.

Damn, that is one of the most blistering things your own staff can say about you. Glad they're taking this stance and not trying to make it seem like he didn't do anything.

(female octopi DO throw things at males) does not make the AI slop *being presented as reality* ok. If you are made aware that something is actually AI after posting it and claiming it's real, the correct response is to delete your post. 2/2

I am on a blocking rampage with this new octopus video that is very clearly AI. And honestly I think this is what's going to cook us: the number of people saying "who cares". Second only to the number of people who can't seem to come to terms with the idea that something that is factual 1/2

Here's the thing, as much as you want people to believe you are promoting science and nature, we simply can't believe your account when you post AI slop regardless of whether or not the behavior of the animals is actually seen in nature. You do yourself, nature, and science all a great disservice.

Love that the taxes for one seat are more than the property taxes for my whole house. Greedy shameless people that do this sort of thing.

Writing IS therapy.

Trick question, no one exists who isn't a fan.

It was a 20 point walloping. Now we need that momentum in November!

image from inside Artemis II text: i need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one's late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like.

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.

I think it's quite the opposite of alarmist. We can't live in a society where we have to guess at the President's intent when it comes to foreign policy like this. Assume he means what he says and act accordingly.
