To anyone whoās curious, which is probably no one, this is where I land on the political spectrum. Believe it or not, people on the left would say this makes me a Nazi.
Republicans are so dogshit at messaging and execution that young people would rather socialism.
This isn't a testament to effective messaging from leftists, it's proof that the right is complete garbage at enacting free market principles and doing what they say.
They don't do free market capitalism, they just sell it. Then they do socialism-light and pat themselves on the back.
āScientists donāt want you to know...ā
Scientists really want you to know.
The problem isnāt that science is hidden. Itās that bullshit travels faster.
@brad_polumbo Thereās a lot of right-wing commentators Iām very tempted to unfollow right now because they are all spreading the same lie. Thanks for being the voice of reason, Brad.
I desperately need to find some moderate voices to follow on here. Thereās a metric fuckton of right-wing commentators Iām about to unfollow because theyāre spreading sensational, false propaganda at the moment.
So everyone is sharing an out-of-context incorrect analysis of data to suggest that 82% of pregnant women who received the COVID vaccine had a miscarriage and therefore wildly claim it was "like an abortion shot."
That is absolutely not true. And, of course, if this had actually happened, it would've been apparent and would've shown up in the massive, global data analysis that has been done and never found any increase in miscarriage rates associated with COVID vaccines in pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the whole statistical misinterpretation everyone is sharing is based on an incorrect denominator, and the actual number, when calculated correctly, is 12%, which is the same as the typical 1st-trimester miscarriage rate in a pregnant population.
But millions of people are just falling for and sharing insane misinformation, and countless understandably heartbroken mothers who experienced miscarriages are now accusing doctors of murdering their babies.
We are so cooked.
I did an egg retrieval at 29. I donāt recommend it unless youāre having fertility struggles like me. It sucks. Why anyone would do this at almost 37 so that they can put off motherhood EVEN LONGER than they already have is beyond me.
Youāre joking⦠right?
The asymmetry is obvious to anyone not committed to the ideology. A woman competing on a menās team is almost always at a physical disadvantageāsmaller frame, lower muscle mass, reduced power and speed. She isnāt taking a roster spot from a more qualified male athlete or rewriting the competitive landscape.
A man competing in a womenās category does the opposite: he brings retained male physiological advantages into a division created precisely to exclude them. Thatās why the two situations are not equivalent, no matter how many cartoons try to pretend they are.
They convicted Shiloh Hendrix today. They called it disorderly conduct, but the truth is that she was convicted for racism.
Now, itās inappropriate for an adult to call a child names, especially a racial slur, bur thatās not even the charge they convicted her on. She was convicted for her behavior towards the man who confronted her ā a man who followed her around with a camera making aggressive demands while she was carrying her young child. She didnāt strike him, she didnāt swear at him ā she just called him the N-word.
Unpleasant? Yes. Illegal? Absolutely not. This is the United States of America, where youāre allowed to believe and say whatever you want, even if it hurts peopleās feelings - and that includes being racist.
Do I think that Hendrix was right? No. Do I think her comments were inappropriate? Again, yes. Will I stand up for her right to make them, even though I viscerally disagree with her opinions? Abso-fvcking-lutely, and so should you, if you give a damn about this country ā or your own right to speak freely.
See, thereās this little thing called precedent, and our entire legal system is based on it. The setting of a precedent in which an American citizen is punished for having an unpalatable opinion should be ringing every alarm bell you have, whether youāre a Black Panther or a member of the KKK. Right now the government is punishing racism, and you might think thatās okay ā but what happens when they decide to criminalize an opinion you _do_ hold?
If they can punish Shiloh Hendrix for saying the n-word, they can punish you for misgendering someone ā and donāt think they wonāt, either. Liberals have been trying for years to criminalize hurting minoritiesā feelings, and theyāve finally succeeded. This verdict will open the floodgates, and itās not going to be pretty.
Me: Whatās your evidence a bullet fired by Tyler Robinson didnāt kill Charlie Kirk?
Them: āThe way his shirt moved looked weird.ā
Me: āOk, follow up question. Whatās it like being retarded?ā
A reminder for those who think these texts are fake: Tyler Robinsonās defense couldāve cross examined and argued that these texts arenāt real in court today. They didnāt though. And Lance Twiggs admits theyāre real too.
The first image (on the left) is the original source from the security camera. Note how blurry and pixelated it is.
The second, and the one these grifting liars keep posting as āproofā itās not Tyler Robinson is an AI-enhanced version.
As you can plainly see, when the source image lacks sufficient detail, AI generates details to essentially fill in the blanks. This renders the output in this case almost completely AI-generated, and therefore not a reliable depiction of who was captured on the security camera.
Insane that we canāt get @CommunityNotes to correct these big accounts milking the X monetization system with this deceptive garbage.
EXACTLY šÆ
Imagine thinking gender ideology is āprogressiveā in any way.
Truly laughable.
It quite literally doesnāt get more regressive than this.
Some retard on the internet: āTYLER ROBINSON BENT HIS KNEE HE DIDNāT EVEN HAVE A RIFLE.ā š„“š„“š„“
Me: Shut the fuck up and watch this video where I shove an entire fucking rifle down my pants and bend my knee.
