If you put the DOGE guys on a desert island where the only way out was to say the magic words “I’m not sure what the answer is, let me consult someone who has worked on this problem for a long time” they would all starve to death

for years now my personal motto has been "fuck 'em, kill 'em and eat 'em" but according to the principal of this school where i gave a career day speech some people consider this
"inappropriate"

Elon’s done so much ketamine that he has become the first human to achieve ego death by creating an even worse ego to replace the old one

Much like Michael Tracey, you need never engage with Matt. He is a shamepig - there is nothing you can say or do to evoke meaningful reflection on his part, he will absorb your barbs like hello, he gets off on it. In a just universe he’d be relegated to highway trash cleanup.

They won’t have many places left to go for their PTSD rumspringgas outside Florida

It's time for America's first chiropractic surgeon general.

Turns out, despite assurances given to me by every Israeli man to butt into a conversation I was in uninvited, Krav Maga has zero or negative value as a self-defense technique in street fighting

It’s not enough punishment but it’s something to suffer the most humiliating, and most easily avoided loss in modern democratic history.

Nate Cohn says neither he nor anyone else knows if his polls or any polls are right

Nate Silver's model just so happens to give Harris her first win in forever the night before the election

These film-flam men should be run out of town like a traveling salesman in the late 19th century selling a cure-all called Dr. Nate's Miraculous Elixir which turns out to be a mixture of laudanum and horse semen

In case there was a shred of doubt that German Zionism consists of anything besides a sublimation of German anti-Semitism

Wishing for generals more like Hitler’s in their degree of personal loyalty is a hell of a thing to ask a monkey paw for

AI slop churning out shrimp Jesus, crab Jesus, hijacker Jesus, commando Jesus is fine but there’s an unintentional genius to Ozymandias Jesus

I don’t understand why South Africa hasn’t gone back to the ICJ for an emergency ruling given how facts on the ground are so rapidly deteriorating

Jeffrey Leibowitz I'm only gonna say this once. People who can't use their hands when necessary with venomous trip the fuck out when the snake climbs up the hook toward them. Then they die, and their pussy families blame us. Shut the fuck up. These are the same puss puss people who never shut the fuck up about a snake never attacking a person. These are the "teachers," the "educators" who help others get over their fear of snakes. Meanwhile, you're too punked out by your own snakes to interact with them--and only do so when absolutely necessary, and you're an itchy, yeast infected art collector giving advice about testosterone through estrogen filled pussy lips. You should CERTAINLY shut the fuck up. You can't do what we do. We CAN do what you do. If you nevertheless have an opinion, then you have NO BUSINESS in my hobby, or my country. Get the fuck out of both, and eat dick. You say we're "macho men". Well you're God damned right we ain't the ones getting fucked up our ass,

I am simply obsessed with the mind of the man who picked up the deadliest snake in the world by hand and got bit and is now in the ICU on a ventilator because he does not carry antivenin out of principle.

And the discourse will be dominated — at least among the civilized — by plaintive and pained confusion over how such a thing was allowed to happen. And absolutely nothing will be learned.

the other part of this is that while Nazis might make some factual claims, the central claim of fascist movements is not an objective or falsifiable one. they’re claiming that they, the ingroup, are the rightful inheritors of power. you can’t argue with that, you can only fight it

Are there any other nonagenarians with pancreatic cancer whose sudden and unforseeable demise we should worry about?

Not that it’s of any material importance but it’s been very difficult to see people I respect and have learned from who’ve taken the Hippocratic oath endorse or excuse collective punishment

Quite a lot of medicine twitter that went full rending-of-garments mode immediately after the 10/7 attacks and uncritically repeated the most ludicrous hasbarah atrocity claims is stone silent about the slaying of thousands of Palestinian children and hundreds of health care workers

I am developing a nanotechnology to enable in vivo delineation of cancer stem cells in order to then eradicate them with heavy particle beams
