Reformed progressive. Possibly not a replicant. Believer in Science when it supports my beliefs. Performative idiot.

A lot of people really seem to operate under the principle that wealth and high living standards are just things that exist by default, that some places have more of and others less for inexplicable and arbitrary reasons, rather than things peoples create over generations and with tremendous effort for themselves and their communities in the places where they live

@colorblindk1d The ADL heavily promoted these ideas for the past decade. Really wild that they just assumed they’d keep a spot on the oppressed roster

the cause of the engine failure is that the engines used in light aircraft are all 1940s designs because it's too expensive to get the FAA to approve new ones.

@_ClimateCraze ‘re-alter’ means what here exactly?

Airlines now are like no no. The $800 charge is for the concept of you being on this flight generally. If you want a SEAT on the flight you have to pay an additional $300.

Belief in blank-slatism could be one more side effect of people not having / delaying children. The cliché of "I raised them exactly the same and look how different they are!". They don't get to see that.

You'd have to be extremely underburdened by what has been to reach such a decision after losing so badly to a candidate as weak as Donald Trump.

People who say stuff like that should be treated like people with swastika tattoos on their faces.

It is pretty wild to remember that a large portion of the population live in an alternative reality built entirely on words, with no connection to the real world that we all share.

The no reasonable expectation of privacy in public doctrine developed at a time where it was not possible to track one person in a crowd.

The foundation to no expectation of privacy was the anonymity of the crowd.

Since that foundation is gone, the doctrine must be reexamined.

Alex Karp is right. There is a deep nihilism among European elites to an extent European citizens would find shocking.

The shopkeeper, the farmer, and the car mechanic think there will be an England or a Poland in 2100; the university professor, journalist, and prime minister does not.

BREAKING NEWS!  Erdogan was prepared to join forces with Iran against our country and Israel?

The president has mentioned several times that he talked Erdogan out of entering the war on the side of the Iranian regime -- meaning, he talked Erdogan out of going to war with us and Israel?  I really think that this needs to be explained in detail and fully pursued.  If a NATO country was going to join the enemy in our war against Iran, we need to know all about it.  The president is rightly condemning the lack of support from NATO countries, but in the case of Turkey, it was prepared to fight us?  Can you imagine Erdogan using our military equipment against us?  Now this thug will have our F-35s?  And we're praising the hell out of this guy like he's our best friend?  We need to know a lot more about this.

What is the point of being “subversive” in the midst of a society-wide collapse in cultural literacy? The Western canon isn’t even reliably taught at Ivy League universities, let alone to the average student. If people don’t know the original, it’s degradation, not subversion.

[Han Shawnity 🇺🇸 @HanShawnity]

So the logic here is that because Turkey could have entered the war on behalf of Iran fighting against us and Israel, but didn't, they're our best friends now and we should arm them to the teeth with our best technology and weapons, and completely ignore their increasingly close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamist terrorist groups?

What kind of foreign policy is this?

Shocking to learn an ethnically homogenous petrostate with a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund and restrictive immigration policies is able to provide its citizens with a generous social safety net
