defend freedom by putting the living caricature of a corrupt gangster who feeds off of the misery of the public back into office!

no offense to the hungarian people but i’m sorry, the idea that hungary is some last bastion of “western civilization” is absurd. can’t overstate how much this post-liberal, national conservative nonsense makes you sound like a putz

Any reasonable lawyer who has read the memo knows that this is not what it requires, so Mizzou is just performing racism to satisfy racists. Also this rhetorical slip was absolutely made easier by people who conflated DEI with race/affinity spaces and I hope everyone is learning their lesson.

Solar power in Africa is heating up — thanks in part to chili peppers | CBC News They're the chili peppers in the spicy chicken at a restaurant you might know. And they were an ingredient used by a Canadian company to build the first solar power plants in Malawi.

This is my favourite news story of the year so far.

I think not enough people understand that the pushback against renewables and EV's is money.

Without getting too in the weeds: renewables cannot ever be as profitable as oil and gas.

EV's don't make as much money as gas guzzlers.

That's it. That's all you really need to know.

Literally this tho. Every time some pro-AI educators says we have to teach kids how to use this bc it's already out there, my response is that kids are doing underage drinking too and we aren't advocating for putting bar carts in the classroom.

Been hard to keep track with the replies but we've raised over $3k for trans youth today from the Benjamin Ryan youth transition fund.

$80 of that just came from times he tweeted about me today.

Discovering the sun in the seventh decade of life must be traumatic

Counterpoint: Every year, "means-testing" across Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, etc entails a multi-billion dollar transfer of state and federal tax dollars to third party consultants who build and maintain these systems of administrative burden

People need to remember, too, that these are the *successful* authors. The ones who are traditionally published trade authors. Those trying to break in, those published once and then couldn't get another contract, self-published authors and so on are not included. This is the top 1% of authors.

I encourage my followers and others to donate as well in Ben's honor. Let's make the Benjamin Ryan youth transition fund a thing and help trans youth access care in his honor.

Additional rule, every time you post about the fund, I donate $20 and will encourage my followers to do the same.

You can be a creep and tweet about me multiple times every day but every time you do so, you'll be directly funding trans youth accessing gender affirming care.

Hi Ben, since you post about me every day and email me unsolicited even after I told you to stop, lets play a game. Every time you tweet about me, I donate $10 to a trans org. Let's call it the Benjamin Ryan youth transition fund.

Vought has in fact written about his belief that the president is an elected dictator.

“Yeah, I’m not doing that” is a powerful statement.

throwback to a few years ago when easter, passover, and ramadan all overlapped on margaret thatcher's death day

Israel is a shockingly racist society, because it has to be to maintain its brutal control over Palestinians. But racism always expands & doesn't have a logical endpoint, eventually you believe the master race is just you personally and maybe your siblings.

Gemini said A screenshot of a post on X by SEGM (@segm_ebm). The post text reads: "A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact." Below the text is an image showing the "Results," "Conclusion," and "Summary" sections of a medical study. The word "FALSE" is stamped in large, bold, red letters across the center of the study text. A specific sentence in the "Results" section is highlighted in blue: "Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment."

This is going around on X, a new study by SEGM member Riittakerttu Kaltiala (the abusive head of a clinic in Finland) is getting picked up as proof that gender-affirming care doesn't work. The data actually shows something very different from what the authors claim. It's purposefully distorted.

Missing Airman Raises Concerns That Iran Could Gain Leverage Over the U.S.

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

the accumulation of executive discretion as if it were a substitute for congressional legislation has, in immigration as in so much else, been kind of a shitshow

It’s amazing people who should know better are still running around as if theres an actual Deep State and goddamn Lindsey Graham isn’t running around telling everyone how he did it.

Please let the existence of Donald Trump disabuse you of the notion that there is some set of hyper-competent secret planners somewhere actually pulling the strings.

A horse eyeing a cake that says "Happy 30th Birthday." It is covered in M&Ms, and has a single carrot in the top, in lieu of a candle.

Since people seem to be extremely into the horse-cake photo...here are his 30th and 31st birthday cakes, and a before-and-after of him eating a slice. There was always singing and sometimes balloons. He died just short of his 34th birthday, a good, long life for a horse.

Give the horse cake!

Ya know we wouldnt have a male loneliness epidemic if these dudes would just go die in a war as the good lord intended.

And when I say that, it's only half snark.

These men don't understand history or politics. They think theyre entitled to be rich and have a trad wife on their arm.

they dont understand that historically they've only ever been cannon fodder for the wealthy.
