Hi 'Destiny'/Steven,
1. You do your best impression of Laura Loomer and Randy Fine by accusing me of being "just another mask-on, radical Islamist who’s been concealing his radical beliefs in an attempt to infiltrate western media" and then expect me to respond to/debate you? A guy pushing far-right Islamophobic smears?
So this is my one and only response to you, and then you're either muted or blocked.
2. Your claim that I am "largely clueless about Israel/Palestine" is laughable coming from a guy who had his ass handed to him on this issue by Norman Finkelstein and Mouin Rabbani over the course of a five-hour debate, where so many of your talking points came from Wikipedia searches.

I've actually interviewed Israeli prime ministers like Ehud Olmert; you famously didn't even know how to say Ehud Barak's name. Stay in your lane, Steven.
3. I'm not Hasan Piker's spokesman, but look, I know, for an Islamophobe like you, all of us Muslims called Hasan must believe the same thing. But if Hasan wants to defend China or Mao, that's on him, I obviously disagree. I loathe totalitarianism and killers of all kinds. I happen to be defending Hasan on the specific issue of anti-Zionism and antisemitism, where people this past week have been totally misquoting him or quoting him out of context or attacking him for things not dissimilar to what Haley Stevens and Ezra Klein have said. Many of the 5-second (!) clips of him speaking on long streams are obviously out of context. As for all the claims you make about him below, how am I even supposed to know if they're true? You offer no links, no evidence, just 'trust me bro.' Oh, and I asked him about some of his most controversial statements when he was on my podcast so stop lying about that but, either way, ask *him* to defend his views, not me.
4. You've been caught on camera telling budding Israeli troops: "Here's the one piece of advice I'll give you, ok if you're joining the IDF, ok? Leave your fucking cellphone at home and stop taking stupid fucking videos, ok? Because everyone's fucking you with them, ok. If you see a soldier, ok, going through a fucking drawer and, listen if you wanna wear a dress and you think it's funny, just don't fucking take a fucking video picture of it, Jesus."

I'm sure you'll claim that your advice to Israeli soldiers to cover up and hide their war crimes in Gaza is taken 'out of context' so surely you must see the irony here.
I know that I've never advised anyone to commit crimes but do it off camera!
5. Talking about things that are on or off camera, one of the reasons I don't engage with you is I hear all sorts of things about you and 'revenge porn' and other allegations, no idea if they're true or not, but you sure sound like a dodgy guy, so I'd rather keep my distance from you and I also don't know why you'd think I *must* answer your questions, at your command. This isn't a Twitch stream and I'm not your pal Nick Fuentes. Like I said, stay in your lane.

Oh, and of course, you've now also shown yourself to be a racist Islamophobe so another reason for me not to engage further (see point 1).
6. One good thing about you viciously and publicly attacking me like this is now I don't have to be weirded out about those fawning DMs you sent me last year saying "you are my only main stream media spirit animal right now...thank you."
Happy to return to a position of mutual loathing where you loudly and proudly support the killing of Palestinian civilians (and the looting of their clothes, off camera) while I remain consistent in opposing the killing of all civilians, Israelis, Palestinians, Muslims, Jews, all civilians.
Goodbye.
RIP, Peter.
Our team teared up hearing you record as Thaedus the first time, and our eyes are misty again now.
You’ll ALWAYS have a coalition of fans in us.
Rest easy, friend.
NEW: America’s biggest berry empire doesn’t actually grow berries.
Driscoll’s is the middleman that controls the genetics, reaps the profits, and then shifts blame.
A whistleblower alleges the Canadian government repeatedly flagged their berries for exceeding pesticide limits.
in 3 years we went from "do you condemn hamas" to "do you condemn hasan" and israel is still a belligerent entity that is causing destruction, goading trump into war with iran & prominent dems are focusing on a critic of trump and israel instead of trump and israel itself. fools
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
“Y’all”
“Youse”
“You lot”
“Una”
It’s clear that speakers of the English language yearn for a formally recognized second-person plural pronoun like “vous” or “vosotros/ustedes”.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA
This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.
Dolly Parton's reps revealed that she died after a “brief battle” with cancer.
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” the statement from her reps read.
“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact. After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones,” the statement said.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
