@BjornLomborg We have more deaths from cold before, so warming up is GOOD! LOL, what a cope!

[Cyferx @cyferx]

@christolaidlaw @BradWilcoxIFS Indeed, but it's not that dramatic. The introduction of TV probably did as much or more. Same with radio. When a new tech takes up people's time, it results in less fertility. And vice versa: Blackouts have the opposite effect. I think online dating is more the culprit here.

@NYMag And what percentage of "normal" people become full professors, Fortune 500 executives, etc? Also perhaps the problem is not measuring intelligence, but the theory that intelligence is the main driver of "success".

In the UK, 11 trans people have been murdered since 2000.

In the same country, from 2009 - 2021, 16 women were murdered by serving or retired police officers. Not killed by officers in the line of duty — flat out murdered.

In 2022 alone, 11 British women were killed by male strangers. 12 were murdered by their own sons; 150 British women have been murdered by their own sons since 2012.

On average, a woman is murdered by a man in the UK once every 72 hours.

Where is the Day of Remembrance for the women murdered by their own sons? By their husbands, their fathers, their brothers? By serving police officers?

In the last 25 years, there have been nearly twice as many trans-identifying murderers than there have been murder victims - 20 murderers, versus 11 victims — and yet we’re told to believe that this is a genocide, while our own dead go ignored and unnamed.

These people are, per capita, the safest demographic in the UK, with a homicide rate of 0.38 per 100k (for women, it’s 0.50 per 100k, and for normal men, it’s 1.23.) but we’re supposed to believe that they’re being physically exterminated? Or is genocide another one of those words that has deliberately been stripped of its meaning, like “woman” and “female”?

Who gains when people are conditioned to roll their eyes at the word “genocide”? When “woman” has no meaning in law or policy? What is the end game here?

@TimBurk89339590 @Jennystandhaft2 @FranceskAlbs @CKoellmannZH "A Quest for Justice" includes, inter alia, eyewitness testimony from at least 17 different incidents of sexual assault. There is no question that many Israeli women were raped on 10/7. The only question is whether raping was part of the plan, i.e. ordered as a weapon of war.

Everyone knows that a two-state solution would involve an Arab-only Palestine alongside a multiethnic Israel with a sizable Arab minority with full citizenship. Yet we're supposed to believe that Israel is the racist apartheid ethnostate. As ever, hatred of Israel is subrational.

As a lesbian, I am so tired of this nonsense. I am tired of corporate Pride and activist Pride.

This week HelloFresh decided that the best way to celebrate Pride Month was to post jokes about preparing for anal sex and offering high-fibre recipes to help people "prep". They then doubled down with a discount code called BOTTOMSUP.

Inclusion! WOO! 🙄

The thing that frustrates me is that people like me have spent years defending gay rights against accusations that we are hypersexual, inappropriate, and incapable of ordinary family life.

That was one of the central prejudices gay people faced. For decades, opponents portrayed gay men in particular as sexually obsessed and depraved. They argued that homosexuality was all about sex rather than love, commitment, relationships and family. The fight for equal rights was partly a fight against exactly that caricature.

And now here we are. A major multinational company has decided the best way to celebrate Pride is to publicly discuss anal sex. What an achievement.

The same-sex marriage movement wasn't about sex. It was about love, commitment, and the ability to build a life with the person you love. It was about family and equality before the law.

Most gay people are not what the weirdos in the HelloFresh marketing department think we are. We go to work, pay bills, walk the dog, argue about whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher, and try to build a decent life together.

You know... Normal things.

The overwhelming majority of gay people just want to be accepted and left alone. We want the same freedoms, responsibilities and opportunities as everyone else. We don't need multinational corporations making dirty jokes about us to feel "included".

What makes this even more ridiculous is that HelloFresh's core market is clearly not radical "queer" activists with blue hair and septum rings.

Their customers are overwhelmingly middle-class couples and families. Busy parents. Professionals. People with disposable income who want convenient meals after work.

How hard would it have been to make a genuinely wholesome Pride advertisement?

Two mums cooking dinner with their kids or two husbands hosting friends. A same-sex couple just making dinner together or flipping a coin to see who has to cook. A simple message acknowledging families and love. Instead they went with rectum jokes.

Somewhere along the way after the TQ+ hijacked our movement, Pride stopped being about acceptance and started being about performance. A small but influential group of activists have convinced themselves that being as shocking, vulgar and sexually explicit as possible is somehow brave and intrinsically "queer". They think boundaries of any kind are oppression including standards and decorum. They think manners are censorship.

The result is campaigns like this one and somehow people are shocked when there is backlash against us all.

I actually feel really sorry for gay men in particular because one of the oldest stigmas they have faced is the idea that they are dirty, promiscuous and defined entirely by sex. This campaign reinforces that stereotype.

If you wanted to design an advertisement that would make ordinary people roll their eyes and think Pride is ridiculous, or shield their children's eyes in horror, you would struggle to do better than this.

The irony is that HelloFresh's marketing department thinks this is progressive. It's regressive and distasteful. It takes decades of work by ordinary gay people who want to be seen as neighbours, colleagues, parents, partners and family members and reduces all of it to a crude sexual punchline.

The people who fought for our rights wanted dignity, but the people most enthusiastic about Pride today seem determined to turn it into a fetish convention with corporate sponsors.

It is not that Israel’s right to exist is “inarguable,” it is that it is not subject to argument.

The dissolution of the Jewish state is not an option that is on the table. Among the potential ways to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians, dissolving the Jewish state is not one of them.

Whether a Jewish state should exist on the land that is now Israel is a question that has been litigated through multiple wars and has been resolved by the outcome of those wars. The question is now closed.

You are welcome to advocate for the interests of the Palestinians in whichever way you like with the understanding that the best-case scenario is them coexisting peacefully with the Jewish state of Israel, and all the other outcomes will be worse for them.

Why does the face of this child look so familiar to you?

Sadly, most people will say they recognize this child from the famous picture and video of October 7th where a Hamas terrorist is holding this child and his brother, broadcasting the terrorist's barbarism to the entire world.

Yet this child, Eshel Vital Kaploun, is the son of a woman who embodies the ultimate act of heroism and he should always remember his heroic mother.

On October 7th when terrorists came in to Kibbutz Holit, Adi Vital Kaploun was home alone with her two sons.

Her husband had left the rifle at home. When Adi realized what was happening, she quickly called her husband and asked him how to use the rifle.

When the terrorists came for her family Adi shot one of them dead and kept up the fight, thereby saving her children.

The Hamas terrorists overwhelmed Adi with firepower, but by then help was on the way.

They took the infamous video in which they are holding her two children as if they were a prize of war, and began fleeing.

Realizing they must get to Gaza soon, the terrorists dropped Adi's 2 kidnapped children in the field right outside Gaza, and that is how these children were saved.

We will never forget Adi and her heroism. 💔

@econcallum The effect seems ridiculously small. The scale is in the hundredths of a point, and the whole effect is less than 4 hundredths of a point. Thus, despite the strong downward look of the data, the birth rate remained 99.96% the same. Maybe we shouldn't panic over smartphones?

[Cyferx @cyferx]

@HenMazzig I disagree. She says what a lot of people say when the issue is discussed. This is in my heart so it doesn't matter what the facts are. My feelings are valid (even though feelings are based on facts ofc) so it's okay to say things without finding out if they are true or not.

[Cyferx @cyferx]

@MartinBJensen I am not sure how 1-2% of people reaching 100 years or more, is "exceedingly rare." The best you can say is that it is not usual to reach 100. Rare has to be less than 1% in my book and AI agrees with me, see pic. In fact, it's on its way to becoming "common" in stats parlance.

@jbaxa3 @StopAntisemites First Amendment doesn't apply at work on the clock. She could be fired for it and she would have no recourse. As an employer you should make sure your employees are not wearing anything offensive. As a Jewish hospital, this is wildly offensive.

[Cyferx @cyferx]

@MarinaMedvin This might occur in a US court as well. The defendant is entitled to a fair trial, and visible symbols and other speech that might affect the fairness of the trial, t-shirts, jewelry, etc, may be ordered removed or covered by a judge to protect the defendant's rights.

@haugejostein No one is living on $1,000 a year in the US. Anyone who had only $3 a day would die in this country. They would not be able to feed themselves, so they are getting assistance through other methods: panhandling, charity, and welfare. And that can't be part of the $3 calculation.

[Cyferx @cyferx]

@heynavtoor I mean, sure if you want to run your own infrastructure. Ring provides a turnkey service. So it is not the same as Ring. And most people don't care that Ring can watch their driveway. Most people want simple, easy setup that runs on their phone. People will pay money for that.

[Cyferx @cyferx]

@SamaHoole It's called capitalism. Assets are put to their best use by the buying choices of consumers. Beef's been losing ground for a long time. So the land was put to a more economically productive use. Can't put good money after bad just because you vibe better with cows than panels.

@SatchinPanda If you look at those left behind after disease, then you will find higher disease resistance. The question isn't what lets them live long, but how to obtain those conditions in ourselves. Those who have it already don't need it.

@Outdoctrination Wow, you just independently invented the keto diet.
