@FischerKing64 I think loneliness and boredom brings you closer to death than a few drinks a week. Sure, you don't need a beer to have fun or meet people, but it helps sometimes. Churchill was a raging drunk his entire adult life, saved western civ and died in his 80s.

Wait so you're saying that for just 3x the water use of a golf course we can create a ton of economic and intellectual activity that almost anyone can access?

Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:

MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”

“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”

“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”

“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”

“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”

“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”

“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”

“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”

“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”

“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”

“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”

[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]

“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”

@glangley And that’s an improvement over what, exactly?

@kevinnbass Private diary on public servers? Talk about hubris!

[Knee-Jerk Skeptic @kneejerkskeptic]

Speaks to his hubris if indeed he kept his private diaries on government servers.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

"It took us about eight months to dig these out of 11 separate servers, where they had been sequestered and secreted and we handed them over this week."

-- RFK Jr.

It took eight months to dig up Fauci's hidden-away private diaries. He never thought they would come to light.

@SwipeWright @benryanwriter Because life is short.

After 6 months of conducting a social justice experiment, which included free food to anyone, this Minneapolis restaurant is taking a “break”

The owner removed all menu prices and ran a donation-based model to fight food insecurity and local immigration enforcement surges.

The results:

• 85% of customers were either homeless and/or addicts

• Served over 30,000 free meals funded by community donations over six months

• The model ultimately proved unsustainable, forcing a pause due to burnout and financial strain

Can mutual-aid restaurant models ever work long-term without permanent external funding, or are they bound to burn out?

@CBSNews Mossad would see to it he wakes up in downtown Tehran wearing a dress, full makeup, and freshly circumcised.

[Knee-Jerk Skeptic @kneejerkskeptic]

@ThomasSowell I love Friedman but this is akin to atoms for peace. Every new tech is turned into a weapon.

[Knee-Jerk Skeptic @kneejerkskeptic]

@Osint613 Does he really want to fuck with Mossad? He’s going to wake up in downtown Tehran in a dress, full makeup, and circumcised.

@LPNational The debt.

[Knee-Jerk Skeptic @kneejerkskeptic]

@TheCalvinCooli1 Stick to what you know.

@LPNational Okay, now do this with a woman and her kids.

@JohnWSCarpente1 @jeffreytucker Waaah. I hate the universe.

[Knee-Jerk Skeptic @kneejerkskeptic]

@jeffreytucker Yes. It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.
