@ComicDaveSmith Left libertarianism is the ideal personal philosophy, but a suicidal political strategy.
Aside from being treated as useful idiots occasionally, Leftists disdain left-libertarians as much as anyone.
@pinkrosevev I don't think Chris is boring, he's just nice. Hes strategic in a way that adds flavor to the game but he isn't a shithead like most of the cast. Its good to have people like him in the game.
Director: “well, I’d say that the final cut!”
Disney Exec: “not so fast- first we have to run it by Pazuzu, the Demon that Eats Colors”
Pazuzu, the Demon that Eats Colors: “Delicious reds and greens! A feast for Pazuzu!”
@BM_SC_t@BillSimmons No, he's saying there was no reason to send WNBA players to the world cup. USA auto qualifies for Olympics since it hosts. NBA team for men's World Cup next year won't have any stars for same reason.
"Capitalism is why people have to work" is very silly thing to say, but it's part of a grand tradition of blaming literally everything, no matter how absurd, on capitalism.
A short thread:
@logarithmic_h Daniel Tabin, one of the authors, posted about it here. There is a link to the author's response and Tabin responds in the thread, so there is a good back and forth
In a new paper, colleagues and I raise concerns about the conclusions and data from Zhang et al 2022, a paper which reported that they obtained DNA from a 14-thousand-year-old individual from Red Deer Cave in Yunnan China referred to as ‘Mengzi Ren’ (MZR)

@fred_and_barney@mkhammer The homeless population in cities like Seattle would lessen by 75% if the city (and its voters) made homelessness uncomfortable. They do the opposite, and thus, certain people are incentived to be homeless there.
@Gomora121@DanFriedman81@kukuruyo The Absolute comics are selling in the low to mid six figure counts but the same lines sold in the millions 30 years ago. And adjusted for inflation, the Death of Superman issue generated more revenue than the entire Absolute line to date. Still small potatoes compars to the past
@mjpost@DanFriedman81 She had just murdered one person and grievously wounded another just before this, at random. She proved herself a capable killer.
Are you really trying this again—accusing us of partisanship and racism simply for declining to defend you in a case where, in my view, you seriously violated journalistic standards? I take those standards extremely seriously. You clearly do not.
We have defended the free speech rights of more left-leaning individuals than practically anyone in the country, and certainly more than you have. But we do also defend conservatives and people who count themselves as none of the above, something I couldn’t imagine you doing because you only like free speech when it belongs to people you agree with.
Furthermore, we have defended people of all races—a fact that is easily verifiable. Labeling everyone who disagrees with you as a racist is no longer going to cut it. This isn't 2021 anymore.
You simply dislike my conclusion: that the primary First Amendment right at stake was The Washington Post's right to terminate your employment.
@erikkain Boba Fett has to rank high. Coming off the heels of red hot Mandalorian seasons 1-2, seemingly competent & interesting creators (Favreau,Filoni,Rodriguez)... then the whole show is awful. Was truly bizarre.
@demosthene1d@jessesingal@martyrmade I have heard him cite the 6 million number in multiple podcasts. The nuance is how many died in camps vs massacres outside the camps.
