There's a strong correlation between accomplished people and how quickly they respond to email.

So let me get this straight.

The US giving billions of dollars in humanitarian aid grants us zero good will with the rest of the planet, but if we pull even the slightest bit of that aid then we’re guilty of genocide.

Yeah okay

Dudes, every smart person knows the amendment was specifically to reinforce to the States that the freedmen of America—the former slaves liberated by Lincoln—are citizens. That was the whole purpose of that section of the 14th Amendment. We all know this.

It’s hard to find something economists agree on more than “rent control is a bad idea”

And that’s because of empirical research results like this:

Soccer purist: Even if the guy is a millimeter offsides and it goes against the spirit of the rule it absolutely must be called.

Confused fan: Interesting. So when does the game end?

Soccer purist: Whenever the ref feels like ending it.

In Europe, it was not acceptable for even a single person to die from Covid and no measure was too extreme to save even one person from the coof.

In Europe, you’re only allowed to die for government-approved reasons: heatstroke, migrant machete attacks, and euthanasia.

the older i get the more i realize how simple a good life really is. wake up early. lift 3x a week. walk 30 minutes a day. eat real food. drink water. sleep well. read. obsess over something that matters. spend time with loved ones. avoid drama. be grateful. you'll already be healthier and happier than 95% of people.

T stands for temporary.

Temporary Protected Status.

More broadly, our immigration, asylum, visa, residency, and related policies cannot hinge upon whether America is a better place to live than other countries—because America will always be a better place to live than other countries.

People are right to want to come here.

And Americans have a right to say “no.”

Its actually crazy how much “Heat makes people retarded and impulsive” answers about the world

[Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters]

When you read about how USAID was started by ex-CIA people, funneled state department money through NGOs into crazy subterfuge and censorship that no taxpayer would ever know about or approve, you realize how wild it was.

It’s basically like Elon got rid of Hydra from marvel and people are mad about it.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Here is what we know: U.S. taxpayer money, funneled through USAID and NIH, funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely caused the COVID pandemic that killed millions and cost trillions.

Dr. Fauci personally signed off on these experiments, then lied to Congress about it. Biden tried to protect him with a last-minute pardon. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

[David Austin Walsh @DavidAstinWalsh]

Honestly the best trend in American microbrewing over the past five years or so has been the embrace of German- and Czech-style beers over IPAs.

[🟡 The tumboy 🟡 @TheTumboy]

It feels like everyone was under a cultural hypnosis that made them drink IPAs and then just woke up one day a few years ago and were like, “wait why are we drinking this?”

The fix everything button is literally just to arrest criminals and keep them in jail

Bukele was able to do this in a matter of months

When you see the crime and rot in western cities and feel unsafe letting your wife walk around, know that it is a choice.
