Dude. Get a hobby that might reverse your brain rot.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

Yes, Mehdi Hasan did say "make American planes crash again." He then deleted and blamed his critics for calling him out.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

While, hopefully it leads to greater regulation of the tech industry, you really can’t blame people for feeling this way. Many are now coming to the realization that we’re the product and corporations are the consumer.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

These are the types of views I was referencing in my @semafor interview. This is an extremely myopic worldview and it makes me sad that so many people feel this way, especially about technology. My question is basically where does this belief system lead?

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

But I thought the government Israel had no imperialist desires? 🤔

[Ethan Levins ✝️ @EthanLevins2]

Israeli minister Ben Smotrich has OFFICIALLY announced the start of the "Greater Israel" project.

He includes Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

@magi_jay Soooo, you think it’s smart to distribute revenge porn and CSAM?

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

Each time you offload tasks you usually use your brain for, your cognitive ability declines. Tech forward future will make everyone brain dead.

[Semafor @semafor]

"I think that a lot of the people on the left do not believe in a tech forward future."

@TaylorLorenz talks to @maxwelltani and @semaforben about the AI data center backlash.

@keithedwards Definitely used a great photo though!

Why do we still ask him anything?

@BenjaminPDixon @TheOmniLiberal Because fascists have always relied on the support of centrist liberals in their common attacks on the left.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

I’d love to watch Mehdi walk circles around the dude.

[Pangburn @Pangburnian]

Destiny @TheOmniLiberal has challenged you to a debate @mehdirhasan . I'm happy to provide a good faith, helpful stage for this.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

@shannonrwatts You still haven’t responded to anyone’s questions about how you feel about Destiny currently under litigation for CSAM and revenge porn.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

@ndqw189410 I’m very well versed in the definition of genocide and its creation in the aftermath of WWII. The “they haven’t killed everyone” denial is simply ignorant of the fact the definition says “in whole or in part” on a series of actions which, most of which Israel has committed.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

This is what has been happening for decades. Act progressive, then swing to the middle. It hasn’t fucking worked and makes democrats lose credibility.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

If a leftist wins the nomination, then he and his supporters need to make the case to moderates that he is more moderate than his GOP opponent. It’s a winnable argument but you need to engage with it and do things to persuade people.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

@DevAmphibian @mehdirhasan @shannonrwatts Well, if he refuses to condemn the ongoing genocide, let alone acknowledge its reality, what else could he be?

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

They were doing “terrorism” to try and stop the war crimes and genocide being committed by Israel.

[blue dog geosh @bluedoggeosh]

Here is the terrorism praise from Hasan Mehdi says “doesn’t exist.”

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

Joy Reid does an excellent job at discussing why the meeting between Jeffries and Kushner is more problematic than Mamdani meeting with Trump. https://t.co/XdIelSL3dP

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

They may be more left on social issues, but when it comes to the wide sweeping economic and environmental changes needed in this country, aren’t much different.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

I get that leftists find this asymmetry annoying but they repeatedly fail to even acknowledge it — the case for a leftist voting for a moderate Dem is that all moderate Dems are more left-wing than their GOP opponents and they don’t need to say or do anything to prove that.

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

Cool. What about the other two branches? Yes, I’m aware they would need a constitution amendment. But we shouldn’t be making 80 year olds beg for jobs.

[Democrats Deliver @DemzDeliver]

🚨 Democrats propose bill to set age limits for Supreme Court Justices at 75 years old.

Omg this is incredible….Dolly Parton performing Peace Train with Ladysmith Black Mambazo

[Mister History @MisterHist81]

@Bellerophonfall @TheOmniLiberal And they did not fight against liberal democracy, they were a part of it. They had elected representatives in the reichstag. Hitler’s fascist goons went after them before he came into power because he knew they were a threat.
