mmmm…3:25 am in Texas….but it would be 9:25 in the UK if I were there…maybe that’s why I really want a Belgian sugar waffle with clotted cream and honey. So disgusting and unhealthy…but I used to make that for breakfast…to have with assam tea…mmmm
On The Capitalist podcast, I discuss the great sin of populism: zero-sum thinking.
"Elites tend to be less zero sum than public opinion. I mean, if you look at public opinion, it's very, very zero sum. People do not understand free markets. People don't understand mutually beneficial exchange.
There must be somebody getting ahead of someone else. Prejudice against merchants, landlords. This is as ancient as human civilization."
@robert_joffe@jewndahalfmen Yeah, the girl in question was a UoE grad. My friend and I went to St Andrews, but in our experience St A woke is less wide-ranging and intense, and more of the 'infographic and bake sale' variety. Edinburgh is something else...
@jewndahalfmen Confession, I did think the books were peak when I was 9-10 yrs old. I thought I was reading v adult material when Harry was kissing asian crush...then ginger crush...it was the first time i knew u could kiss a second person if you had already been kissed. JKR took my innocence..
@jewndahalfmen True, but I dislike her for writing HP. Dobby's grave was not worth saving, and HP millennials are the hardcore version of Disney adults. As atonement, JKR should write Ayn Rand style Conservislop and have a Spectator column devoted exclusively to True Transphobia.
Ok i give it to these people, they are the pinnacle of ragebaiters. They've got both the far-right and the anxious libs melting down in the comments.
No wonder they're gaining power and influence, when they're evidently 30 IQ points above our lane.
Say what you will about Hillary, (and I said plenty,) but she was a stone cold, high agency, capital S Sociopath. Hilldawg had more balls and self control than a lot of men on the right, let alone women on the left. She's evil and should have been imprisoned, but she was TOUGH.
