I might tweet a lot that is critical of fellow people on the Right, particularly around economics, in the coming months.

ANY flavor of the Right is better than the Left. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t betters among the options on the Right, too.

I’ve followed Christian for years and have never seen him advocate for any of that. Not sure why you would call what he believes communism.

He’s a post liberal reactionary which is diametrically opposed to communism. Just to the point of preventing communism from taking root in a liberal society with force. Which isn’t a crazy or overly authoritarian idea. We’ve done it in America before!

@MeghanMcCain Why do you say that? He’s run before. And he has support.

Jesus is an Anglicization of the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), which is a Hellenization of the Hebrew/Aramaic יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua). Yeshua is a shortened form of the ancient Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshua).

And Jesus is God.

So, it is, actually.

David Sacks says Anthropic could stop Chinese distillation if they wanted to, but they won't because it slows growth

"The way that you know that this whole distillation thing is fake, is because if stopping distillation was their primary objective, Anthropic would push to ban Chinese access to American models, not American access to Chinese models."

"They’re the ones in the best position to block it. If industrial scale distillation is a national security threat, they’re the ones who need to stop it, because that is the place where distillation occurs. You have to stop it at the source."

"They know that if they KYC their customers, it’ll slow their growth. So instead, what they’re saying is, “Hey, ban our competitors.” If they really think it’s that big a threat, they should use a few points of their 90% gross margins to do that."

"It seems to me that this debate is all backwards. The question should be on Anthropic to explain why it’s doing such a bad job, not on the whole American open source ecosystem to be punished for Anthropic’s failure."

Celebrities will take the literal only position that they're allowed to and then claim they're courageous for doing it.

The secret to male friendship is mutually-assured destruction

Each party must be supplied with sufficient kompromat that they know 1) defecting is impossible and 2) any opinion is therefore permissible to share

@TaroWheel @philliplede Just because you don’t understand the Trinity, it doesn’t become something it’s not.

It’s true that Anthropic is the fastest growing company that Silicon Valley has ever seen. Which is all the more reason their incessant attempts at regulatory capture are not just unnecessary but frankly gross.

@merelyjwright @FoxNews To be fair to Fox News, Kennedy isn’t conservative. She’s the token lib on that panel show I think.

But yes it is a problem. Surrogacy should be illegal and there’s nothing conservative about it.

@NeilShenvi @wcf_linux @not_our_guy Some of his posts border on a little edgy but I don’t see any that are that bad?

@jp_burgh @ptomer Then your entire presbytery needs to learn how to read the Bible. It's not even Biblically correct.

@bonchieredstate You will be missed. You should like where people can keep up with anything you are writing elsewhere.

Since Y2K there's been an 8% increase in govt. school students and teachers,

but a 37% increase in principals and assistant principals,

and an 88% increase in administrative staff.

…which leads to one conclusion: The system has become an entrenched jobs program for adults.

As a mom of daughters it’s hard to articulate the sadness I feel imagining a little girl growing up without a mom. The idea of *purposely* creating that little girl to be motherless is too much to bear. It’s cruel.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

I’m a huge fan of Kennedy and always enjoy her commentary on Fox. Besides being very politically astute she’s also hilarious.

But, yes, I believe that children need what both a mother and a father offer.

Sometimes tragedies make it impossible to fulfill those needs, and we make the best accommodation we can in tragic cases. But it does not mean we make the tragic exceptions the rule.

I believe that the most fundamental thing that conservatives must conserve is the natural family and that a child has a right to a mother and father. If that earns me the ire of Fox News, then so be it.

This is where I stand, and I can do no other.

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

People just need to accept the obvious fact that a man believing he’s a woman is always, without exception, weird, unstable, dangerous and indicates deeper perversions. It’s never innocent, it’s never about authenticity, it’s never understandable. It means something is deeply wrong and will always lead to other deeply wrong things. It is not nuanced.
