@SamCherny Hi. I can’t reach you on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, or anywhere besides here, for mysterious reasons, but I am going to head over to explain the truth in case Oli still hasn’t told you. Sorry to intrude but needs must. Hope you get this.

@kelly243142427 @TRobinsonNewEra @TheBobbyJohn @artisbrutal2021 @TheBobbyJohn Here are the names and email addresses of all attendees of all sex parties at 32 Portland Place in the past two years, in case they are useful to you: https://t.co/ifodoURYEV

@kelly243142427 @TRobinsonNewEra @TheBobbyJohn @artisbrutal2021 Also, Oli’s house in Hammersmith seems to receive constant supplies of Russian cigarettes, though not cheapo Russian cigarettes. I gather Sobranie is the Russian Marlboro Gold. Mr King married a Russian prostitute and they were known to run a Russian prostitute ring, I gather.

@rdgrongoodnet1 @MattWalshBlog But that was for outlaws. A criminal, even a murderer, is not necessarily or usually an outlaw.

@prisonerof61988 @odo_of_bayeux @brjimc @Glinner Fun fact: history’s only actual successful genocide was carried out by the English 🇬🇧🫖 (https://t.co/reZZ3ujXHi)

@JakobZaaiman @Lightstream01 @timecaptales Sorry, Proust is analogous to public executions?! Haha, I mean maybe the middle volumes are, but the first volume is very good and the last one wraps it up nicely. Also Lear is great and some of Joyce’s short stories are good (‘The Dead’ esp imo).

@IlonaVanski @DEhnts Sorry? ‘Demand constrained’? You mean we’re just too rich, we don’t have any unmet need, and people need to do more work to keep them occupied? I think we have unmet need.

@ChrisPacia @RichardJMurphy How on earth do you think property rights pre-existed the state? Where exactly would you go to enforce your property rights?

@greatindoors2 @mushycrouton Well, maybe you have a high standard for transphobia and racism, then. I am pleasantly surprised. I haven’t encountered many racists either:

@Realtommyrobbie @TiceRichard Or below. Granted, Albanians are a rare acceptable target, along with gypsies.

@capitalism1 @tonywestonuk THEY DON’T LIVE LONGER, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. They live shorter lives, and die younger. You are confusing yourself by using a complicatedly bodged statistic whose complicated bodging you do not understand, possibly because you ate lead for breakfast as a small child.

[Sam R-A @samziz]

@capitalism1 @tonywestonuk This is the case for all these stupid statistics. GDP is probably the most outrageous one, but I stand absolutely no chance of explaining GDP if I can’t explain this. Suffice it to say that’s what America produces for its poor: statistics, premature death, and corn syrup.

[Sam R-A @samziz]

@capitalism1 @tonywestonuk Because, in the US, it is rarer to live to old age. Those who do are a small elite, who, like the king of England in my original thought experiment, can expect to live many more years. They are then multiplied to ‘standardise’ your age structure with that of civilised countries.

[Sam R-A @samziz]

@capitalism1 @tonywestonuk Ah, right, no, it’s nonsense. It’s not the death rate of all patients, it’s the death rate of patients classed as high risk, and the US classes more patients as high risk for reasons of (guess what) health insurance gaming: https://t.co/LvcAMmA8mF

[Sam R-A @samziz]

@capitalism1 @tonywestonuk That is a bizarre statistic. It depends on who goes to a hospital, doesn’t it? Though even then I’m surprised – I would have expected the opposite pattern, since EMTALA incentivises people in the US to put off going to hospital until almost dead. Let me have a look.
