@MarioNawfal It’s not that the refs “may” have gotten right, it’s that they did get it right.

@jessesingal @KonstantinKisin Show some respect, @jessesingal, you’re shitting the bed.

Jesse, I stop engaging with people when I realise they are operating in bad faith, not reading what I am actually saying and are primarily interested in dunking on the people they are pretending to engage with.

For some reason there is a cadre of people here who hate Elon Musk so much they're incapable of processing any debate about any issue without seeing it as a pro or anti Elon point.

I was and remain extremely enthusiastic about any effort to cut public expenditure and bring the budgets of Western countries into some semblance of normality. And I think the way the debate is had whereby any reduction in spending is framed as killing people is unhelpful, which I explained. That doesn't mean that I can opine with certainty about the exact impact of DOGE. I just don't think the framing is helpful which is the only thing I've said in this entire discussion.

Beyond that, I have very little to say to someone who keeps trying to start a bitch fight with me by constantly tagging me into their tweets while promoting a guy who is a confirmed liar spreading claims about Israeli dog rapes.

Calling me a "guru" or a "midwit" won't help you because anyone who is familiar with my work knows that I have never presented myself as an authority on anything outside of my very limited area of expertise while also knowing that my IQ is significantly above average. You're just being rude because you don't agree with me which is rarely a sign of someone who is winning the argument.

I've always regarded you as a serious journalist so this is all a bit surprising. If you want to have a grown up conversation, I'm always up for that. Otherwise, carry on screaming into your echo chamber of Elon-haters but don't expect me to engage.

@ChrisWillx That last one is the only thing that shocked me. Why would more articulate men fair worse? Is that a signal that they’ve had to compensate for lack of wealth or sex appeal?

@HunterBiden @Kenneth_Belkin You look like someone who was kept in the minor leagues because you’re a liability. Spill the beans on the payments to the Biden family and maybe you’ll get some love from the streets.

@TulsiGabbard Prayers. 🙏

The response to the 2022 energy crisis should have been to expand oil & gas production. Instead, @GavinNewsom tried to shut down the state's refineries, resulting in gasoline ~$2/gallon more expensive than the national average. Catastrophically irresponsible.

This way, Western man.

@elonmusk It’s crazy that I forgot about this aspect of your ingenuity and entrepreneurship. Thank you, Elon. Thank you.

@RupertLowe10 @grok what is a good updates resource to send a British friend who doesn’t know about this story?

@Hoopss 28-20 for the Seahawks.

It is hard to think of other examples of security forces massacring at least 20,000 of their own citizens in the space of two or three days. That is political violence at the Stalin, Hitler and Mao level.

In many primate species, higher-status females tend to have more offspring than lower-status females. One factor is access: dominant females typically have better access to food, safer territory, and desirable mates. But that’s only part of the story.

Another mechanism is active suppression: dominant females reduce subordinate reproduction largely through stress. When high-ranking females repeatedly harass, intimidate, or socially exclude lower-ranking females, it raises stress hormones, especially cortisol. Cortisol disrupts the reproductive system by delaying ovulation, interfering with menstrual cycling, and reducing fertility. Chronic stress can push the body into survival mode, redirecting energy away from reproduction and toward coping with threat.

Dominant females generate this stress through tactics like physical bullying, intimidation, exclusion, and control over resources.

This pattern appears across species. In baboons, suppression often involves direct physical intimidation. In marmosets, dominant females can emit pheromones that inhibit subordinate ovulation. And in tamarins, dominant females may monopolize food and secure nesting sites, making it much harder for subordinates to reproduce or raise offspring.

We don’t know what the New York Times is. But it isn’t a newspaper…

How long does it take to find out if there is anything happening in Iran during what may turn out to be a revolution?

Let’s find out, shall we? Here is how long it takes to get to a story from “Today’s Paper”:
