Literally me (and all of you guys, right??)

Absolutely nobody on earth is more petulant or self-involved than UK Labour politicians. They genuinely believe that the worst problem the world faces is that social media forces them to hear from their peasants who are angry with them, and they never stop whining about it.🇬🇧

The two players not singing along to the national anthem were the team's two non-Germans, Mesut Özil and Jerome Boateng.

The inclusion of these players in the 2014 World Cup winning side caused German media to celebrate the team as an example of Germany's successful multicultural experiment.

Özil later met the Turkish President before Germany's 2018 World Cup, accused Germany of racism when this caused a controversy, then turned his back on Germany and retired early from international football.

He is now a board member of the ruling party of Turkey and helps the Turkish football federation recruit other ethnic Turks living in Germany to play for Turkey.

Jerome Boateng, a mixed race German-Ghanaian, was convicted in 2021 for beating the mother of his children. After this, he dated a Polish model who eventually killed herself, and who alleged he beat her to the point of breaking her bones. Boateng's German mother wrote "For years, my son has been abusing women psychologically and physically."

Assimilation is a myth.

Major cheat code in life: One priority per day. Not three. Not five. One. Pick the single thing that, if completed, makes the day a win regardless of what else happens.
Protect two hours for it. Most people go entire weeks without finishing anything that actually matters because everything feels equally urgent.

The idea that a pregnant woman from Guatemala can sprint across the US border, have the baby 30 minutes after arriving here, and the baby is magically a citizen of the US, is one of the most retarded and indefensible notions ever conceived

After she used her son as a human shield and got him k*lled, she's now posting herself with money at his funeral.

There's no fixing this.

Reminder that when a handful of actresses said they got felt up by Hollywood producers we pretty much shut society down and tanked a multi-billion-dollar industry meanwhile this was met with skepticism and shrugging shoulders

Whenever you're having a bad day, remember:
There is a guy who is going through the same thing you are, but with a fat girlfriend.

What if the official that approved it was made personally liable?

[Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en]

Regular reminder that leftists don't have empathy, they only have pseudo-empathy which they exercise on distant targets who don't exist for them as people, only as blank canvas on which to project narcissistic power fantasies, and as tools to hurt those they don't like. To think through "Why would a devout Muslim woman be in a lesbian couple with another woman and have a baby with her?" would be to think of the people involved as actual humans, which they're incapable of.

The Left is heading for the nastiest shock it has faced in a generation. They have been able to hold the whip hand over the Right for decades, which is why the Tories governed like Tony Blair.

They have achieved this through legal structures and micro-cultures that have allowed them to police language and spread toxic ideas. But now that is all unravelling. It is coming to an end. And right-wingers, who have been kept in line with accusations of bigotry and threats of character assassination, have stopped listening.

The Right now has its own online ecosystems and no longer fear left-wing institutions. This will spill over into mass protest movements, which have historically been the Left’s bread and butter.

Interesting times.

Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.

The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
