The stupid push for permanent Daylight Saving Time combines the three dysfunctions that drive our politics today: ignorance of history, failure to consider trade-offs, and whining that is vastly disproportionate to the problem at hand. https://t.co/VkHh5YAly6

@JoSHSHoomaker @AnnaKateShelt I imagine they loosened up after establishing the precedent.

[Nathan Poe @nathanpoe]

@JoSHSHoomaker @AnnaKateShelt Interesting. I think I might’ve been the first PHC student to convert to Catholicism so they didn’t yet have a worked out policy on how to respond. I think they may have wanted to make an example out of me to create a firm precedent.

[Nathan Poe @nathanpoe]

@JoSHSHoomaker @AnnaKateShelt I went to PHC and got kicked out for becoming Catholic so you could say I’m interested in this topic, and I had not heard that many PHC grads had converted. But I’m not tight with the community anymore.

[Nathan Poe @nathanpoe]

@JoSHSHoomaker @AnnaKateShelt Out of curiosity, how many PHC grads have become Catholic would you say?

Thomas Edsall saying Dems need to get tougher on immigration and crime, and be clear that there are two sexes, and while trans people need their rights protected, that does not include playing on women's teams or being in prison alongside women.

This is gonna get some heat!

I believe the Shroud of Turin was forged by a medieval artist. I believe he chose a very expensive linen cloth to wow only the very few who would notice, matched the Gospel accounts in extraordinary detail, rejected the artistic conventions of his own time in many ways for the only known time in history, depicted crucifixion with striking anatomical realism, used real blood or blood-derived material instead of simply painting the wounds, created an unremarkable faint image whose most remarkable property would not be recognized until photography revealed it as a negative more than five centuries later, embedded three-dimensional image information that would only be discovered with modern image analysis, produced an image so superficial that modern microscopy still can’t explain it, anticipated details that align perfeclty with modern forensic understanding of crucifixion, executed the entire work without mistakes or corrections on a valuable cloth, he nailed it without error in one shot, invented a technique that no one has convincingly reproduced, left no record of how he did it, inspired no known followers, and did it to wow only us centuries later as nobody viewing the work at the time would even see it for what it is, and then disappeared from history without anyone ever mentioning the greatest technical achievement of medieval art.

The most pathological element of Candace's campaign to destroy Charlie Kirk's family is that she's pretending to do it in his name. There is nothing more evil than betraying a friend after his death—and for something as fleeting and shallow as internet clicks.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

Hello Mrs. Owens,

You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk."

He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: "I am, I'm sorry." He engraved "Hey Fascist! Catch!" on the ammunition a month before he used it.

You said police "didn't even question" Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it.

You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days.

You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater.

You called Erika Kirk a "clinical psychopath" to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was "an occult ritual." You said Charlie was "sitting in a pentagram." You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu.

You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man's name.

And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson's own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They're challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely.

Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him.

So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath.

Every single one failed.

I don't know why you did this. I'm not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I've spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man's murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow.

The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality... under oath, on the record, where it counts.

I'll be here for all of it... because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.

They also leveraged Racicot’s then off-the-record story to get Lyndsey to go on the record, intimating to her she’d be the least of the accusations in the article and then hung her out to dry. Not only is Jenny great for speaking, but her move may discourage that kind of catch-and-kill reporting bc what they did was Streisand Effect the most devastating accusations.

All former FIFA-certified referees raise your hands.
🙋
That's right I used to both play & ref soccer. Now I mostly just mock it. Until they mess w/ Team USA.

This picture of the collision between Balogun & the B&H player looks awful, but it's complete garbage.
Wrong angle to see what really happened.

Balogun was closer to the ball and the B&H player came from his right AND behind initiating the contact. He caused his own suffering.

The ref got it right initially as a no call. They were both playing the ball. Even in a sport known for pitifully lame flopping sometimes two dudes just crash into each other and do some actual damage. Doesn't mean there was a foul.

The replay guy then saw an opportunity to take the Americans down a notch and the ref bought in and made an egregious red card ejection.

If any call was made it should have been against the B&H player who came from behind and out of the sight line of Balogun.

The outrage now is "How dare the Americans get this absurd attempt to weaken them overturned".

Taking a player out of a once in a lifetime game and tournament should be an exceedingly high bar. This was not.

The people pretending to care about the rules are really mad the Americans aren't getting screwed over. It's a common sentiment and all around the world hating Americans for being the Biggest, Baddest and Best is as much a national sport as Soccer Ball.

I've lived overseas for six years and traveled to several dozen countries. Furriners love to hate on us. I'm not saying it's all underserved, I'm just saying it's not new and it's everywhere.

I can't blame them, we're barely 250 years old and we have accomplished more than any country in history. We have invented more amazing things, freed more people from tyranny and lifted more people from poverty and that stings, especially for the Euros who think they own our history.

They do, the part that we left and left behind. The part we are making now they can only watch and be chafed about. Because they can't even come close.

So they were salivating at knocking a US star out of play on a BS call. Sorry Jacques Belgique, you're going to have to take on a full US squad. Good luck, I hope we make you cry some more in the game tonight.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

Soccer could learn a lot from us Americans on how to fix the game. When we win the World Cup we will take their sport and fix it!

1/10 @McGillPatterson’s & @ThomasDHowe’s “Why Postliberalism Failed” is a genealogical critique of the American Catholic turn against liberalism. The target: Catholic integralism, Catholic right-wing authoritarianism and several American postliberal intellectuals. The book invites friends and foes of postliberalism to confront Catholic authoritarianism, integralist coercion and the romanticization of failed regimes. The book is worth the reader’s time and effort. Those interested in postliberalism will find it useful; readers wanting a deeper philosophical critique of postliberalism should consider also reading @PaulDeHart’s “The Social Contract in the Ruins.” In this ten part thread: my summary and assessment of where Patterson and Howes succeed and where they fall short, and in the process I reference a few seriously critics of liberalism that are worth reading and that are not address in this book nor other critics of postliberalism.

As a Native American I’m a little offended that the 14th Amendment didn’t grant us citizenship until Congress passed an exception for us. Meanwhile, a CCP spy can fly to Guam, drop a baby and fly home with the baby who qualifies to run for president 35 years later.

[Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine]

Thank you Justice Kavanaugh for raising the question: what rational principle explains which exceptions the Court allows and which it does not?

NEW: NewsGuard, a media ratings firm that fact-checks "false narratives" and licenses data to AI companies, launched a chatbot last week that suggests there are between 72 and "infinite" genders and denies biological sex is a binary.🧵
