Alasdair MacIntyre turned 96 on Sunday. I got him a present.

It’s James Lindsay.

this is the most perfect “Seinfeld” callback joke in the history of “Seinfeld” callback jokes

24 hours after footage of an African man trying to saw the head off his Scottish victim in a Belfast street circulated online, Irish politicians and journalists openly discuss on live TV how such videos can be suppressed, in future.

We all know the one clip they will delete, right into the Memory Hole.

when i accidentally close my 45 tabs it's like the burning of the library of alexandria, but worse and much more dire

@xgabegottliebx Magness is too stupid to bother with.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox "Sam Harris has written the best thing you’ll read today"

is the stupidest thing I've read today.

John Bolton, according to CNN, will plead guilty to a felony of mishandling classified information, with a fine of $2 million and possible prison time.

Bolton previously urged that Edward Snowden be executed, and Julian Assange be imprisoned for life, for informing the public.

A seriously high quality Jewish joke I just came across.

[Daniel Addison @derocrates]

Pfft. As Carnap explained, Frege REKT Heidegger by showing that "nothing" could ONLY be said, but said clearly and concisely, with the use of negation and his newly-discovered existential quantifier. That discovery explained why all metaphysical ramblings on "nothing" from Parmenides to Heidegger are literal non-sense. I think in logical symbols and am very smart.

[Michael Millerman @millerman]

Heidegger says something like, you can only be silent if you have something to say. A lot of the "philosopher" idiots on here would immediately "pounce" -- NOOOOOO Heidegger, you can be silent even when you have nothing to say! But these same filthy animals don't even stop to think when it means to "have nothing" to say. basically they are positivists. off my timeline, heathen!

The rest of the world: That animal can kill you.

I wrote about the Pope and why Christian tech critics often have a more compelling response to the AI crisis than their secular counterparts. Simply, Christian writers aren't afraid of "human nature" talk, and they understand THE question of the AI Age is: what are people for? 🧵

[Straight Florida @StraightFlorida]

Behold: the final boss of suburbia.

This absolute reformed swamplord looked at a $40 pop-up tent, some 2x4s, and a John Deere, then declared war on sweating forever. You can take the Florida out of the sticks, but the sticks just built him a mobile yard command center with 100% shade and zero shits given.

He’s not mowing grass—he’s piloting a rolling redneck yacht through HOA waters, sipping victory while the neighbors rage-type on Nextdoor. One-man parade at 5 mph, full tiki bar vibes, eyesore upgraded to engineering legend.

Unfiltered Florida genius. Peak evolution. 🌴🍺

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

How can someone above the age of 7 believe that the US starts and fights wars in order to free the oppressed peoples of the world?

How, if you pay even minimal attention, do you not know that this is the pretext for war -- how it's prettified -- and never the actual goal????

@RyanHaecker @lumpenspace Let’s catch the double feature
