Can somebody ask @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani why he isn’t plannning to arrest Pezeshkian, the president of the Islamic Republic, who is attending the same UN conference as Netanyahu in September?
Tens of thousands of Iranians murdered in two days.
The worst massacre of our time.
No speech?
No arrest?
No performance?
The Arabs colonised vast territories across the world, and wiped out entire native civilisations.
Where are the reparations?
Why aren't they told to feel guilty?
Why is Arab colonialism somehow less bad than European colonialism?
Should we not have this discussion?
I’m sick of reading AI slop, so today I’m open-sourcing my /no-ai-slop skill that removes 20+ slop patterns from any piece of writing.
📌 Get the free skill here: https://t.co/YshUga82ks
If you find it useful, please consider starring the repo so more people can find it.
Why I built the skill:
I use AI to edit my writing because it helps me fix spelling, grammar, and clarity.
But even the best models keep producing the same slop that this skill removes:
→ Binary contrasts: “It’s not X. It’s Y.”
→ Throat-clearing openers: “Here’s what nobody tells you.”
→ Fake-profound endings: “The future isn’t coming. It’s already here.”
Use this skill responsibly.
I always write a first draft manually before iterating with AI on edits and I make sure to do another manual pass at the end as well.
That’s in contrast to using AI to automate pumping out slop end-to-end.

I'll tell you what kind of Democratic Party I don't want. I don't want a Democratic Party that denies Israel's right to exist, supports Hamas and Hezbollah, questions Western values and engages in Kremlin apologia.
If my party starts hugging tankies and anti-Zionists, I am out.

@mattyglesias The left would yell “AIPAC” and call anyone who publicly supports Stevens a Zionist.
We’ve entered the stupidest if possible timelines. It only goes downhill from here.
@mlkaljml@ClearReason The vast majority of the people killed in Gaza were Hamas terrorists.
This is the only holocaust in history where the population has actually increased.
@mlkaljml@ClearReason October 7th was an act of genocide and terrorism.
Israel is responding in kind.
You want peace? Tell Hamas, Hezzbollah, and every other terrorist organization that’s hellbent on killing their neighbors to shut down. Until then you are part of the problem.
@mlkaljml@ClearReason Who owns the land now? Israel via deed from the previous owner, Britain, who got it from the r previous owner the Ottoman Empire.
So…in legal terms the Nabka is pure bullshit.
@CoreyWriting Maybe if Progressives, who are the loudest people in the room, stopped obsessing over AIPAC, they could focus on what voters really care about, like the economy.
DSA and leftists threatening to not vote in MI are only hurting their own agenda. You’re showing other Dems that you cannot be trusted or relied on. You’re incentivizing other Dems to take down your candidates quickly and with force. Because you don’t want to participate in the coalition in good faith.
