Hey @united , I’ve now been waiting longer for my bags at LAX from UA1631 than the plane was in the air! 45 mins so far. What gives?

🙄The fringe idea that we all have a 'gender identity' that may or may not match our biological sex is the whole point of this discussion. Trans activists act as though the existence of 'gender identity' is a settled, self-evident point, when to the vast majority of the world it's unevidenced, quasi-religious, pseudoscientific nonsense, which has been imposed top down on our society with serious consequences for vulnerable women and troubled youth in particular.

Meaningful discussion about competing needs and rights cannot happen inside an elitist ideological bubble where everyone is forced to adopt gender ideology's approved jargon, accept its self-contradicting slogans as fact and pretend fact-light assertions and feeble sophistry are critical thinking.

You tell us to 'educate' ourselves, by which you mean, 'adopt our beliefs unquestioningly,' but at this point, most of us know your arguments off by heart. These include, but are not limited to: feelings trump facts and unless we agree we're 'erasing people from existence'; women and girls aren't definable entities, so why should they be entitled to their own sports and single-sex spaces; clownfish and people with DSDs mean sex is 'on a spectrum' and 'woman' is a set of stereotypes associated with the female sex class, so it doesn't matter if you've got a penis, if you identify with those stereotypes you're 'valid'.

The reason we haven't been won over by these talking points and remain so tragically 'uneducated' isn't that we've failed to grasp the sophistication of your world view. It's that we think you're talking unadulterated bullshit and making fools of yourselves.

@AMAZlNGNATURE No one would ever do this if social media didn’t exist. Humans are so dumb. 😢

I don't know if Trump is a Russian asset or not, but I can't see how his behavior would be any different if he were.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

If there’s anything more annoying than the Lions not being in the Super Bowl, it’s people on social media trying to get attention by loudly proclaiming that they *won’t* be watching it. Dissing something popular (e.g., Taylor Swift) is the low-hanging fruit for these narcissists.

[Scott T. Hards @hljboss]

@yumm_shanthi @Atul_Gawande Ahh. Another sadly uninformed opinion. Show me your evidence. “Elon said so” doesn’t count.

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

I had the same thought. Why risk the destruction of so much wealth if not for a secondary objective?

@AnArtfulPenguin @adamwren Hilarious! Who writes your material?

[Scott T. Hards @hljboss]

@bajashaggy @adamwren That comment says more about your ignorance of his work than it does about Pete.

Heading to a place with fresh air and Blueskys. Come join me. It has emerged as the clear Twitter replacement.

@NAChristakis Please consider actually posting to Bluesky. As I’m sure you know it has emerged as the clear Twitter replacement. Most people I want to read/engage with are there, but your account is quiet…

Absolutely disgusting and insane. The @nypost obtained video from a recent RFK Jr. event where he suggested COVID is a Chinese bioweapon “ethnically targeted” to “attack Caucasians and Black people” and to spare “Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese” people. He then falsely claimed the U.S. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on labs in Ukraine to develop similar bioweapons that target people by their race.

@Durf I was watching on https://t.co/NwTYHrKKTy, and they did not show the ejection. Sure wanted to see it though. Utterly entitled assholes.

Just read the insights of Jeff Bezos in his opinion piece in The Post. I wasn't going to join 200,000 others and cancel my subscription because doing so won't hurt Bezos -- he paid more for his yachts than his newspaper -- and, yes, the Post newsroom where good people, and some friends still labor continues providing meaningful journalism. But, my god, this man's insipid defense of his own transparent cowardice is provoking.

I cancelled. I wasn't going to do it. I probably shouldn't, and certainly, if this technobrat oligarch ever releases his grip on what needs to be an independent newsroom and editorial board, indifferent to the financial positions of its publisher, then I'll return. But this kind of abuse of a public trust by a publisher is unacceptable.

@KeithNHumphreys The thing I hear some young couples say that blows my mind is “we’ve decided not to have children because we don’t want to bring another life into a world like this.“ The soul-crushing cynicism and utter historical ignorance needed to arrive at this viewpoint is shocking.
