I probably disagree with you on most things. Love polite debate on basis of logic, not emotion. No ad hominem. I use this for politics and geekery.

@mehdirhasan @ZohranKMamdani I… just read up about Chevalier.

My prediction. Within months she will feature in many GOP ads (they’re going to love her), and in 2028 she will be seen as a burden for whoever the Dem presidential candidate is as they will be forced to distance themselves from her crazy views.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@GenSPosting @Jordan_MG_ Sure but making up BS statistics doesn’t help with having an ‘honest conversation’

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@De_Zerbi_1978 @Ohnj117 @Elmarston2 What did you want James Gunn to do exactly? Pre-screen red carpet questions? Have someone interject? Get Milly to just hide from the press altogether?

I am genuinely unclear what it is you think they could have done that wouldn’t itself have garnered even more headlines.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@1963SW @AlecStapp @cl30me537 Do you think Sowell would say that immigration in the UK has had a net negative impact on the economy?

I’ve read his work (which to be fair is more US-focused) and I think there is virtually no chance he would make this claim.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@1963SW @AlecStapp @cl30me537 All economists are dishonest and non-credible?

If so where do you get your views on economics from exactly? Who’s done the calculations on economic impacts of immigration that you’re relying on?

I’m not used to someone saying an entire academic discipline is incorrect.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@1963SW @AlecStapp @cl30me537 No economist alive believes migration has been a net drain on the British economy.

There are valid complaints to make about unfettered immigration in the West.

‘It’s making us poor’ isn’t one of them.

@Bludsprt_ The weird thing is they don’t actually go see her films so they keep flopping. Really shows you how social media isn’t real life at all

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@voidcompiler @_Unknown_D_ 1 this on its own would not be sufficient to fix the problems
2 any attempt at significant cuts to welfare will be wildly unpopular with the electorate (not just Labour MPs) and would likely lead to your removal from office.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@conor64 In general, humans find it traumatic to acknowledge to ourselves we were wrong about a deeply held belief, so much so that we will perform increasingly elaborate feats of mental gymnastics to justify our positions.

It often takes a truly shocking event to jolt us out of it.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@BeefIsSupreme @jondelarroz ‘None’ of you? Aren’t you responding to someone who has an issue with a strong female lead?

Also curious which major game you’ve played that had ‘cuck cult fantasy’ shoved down your throat?

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@sa10nee 8.7k likes for making up quotes. Social media will be the end of any sense of truth or reality

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@pure_slime @FilmUpdates ‘Somehow Palpatine entered the Marvel Universe’ will be a hell of a line for Banner to deliver.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@mattzarb @latimermcl Will assume you actually mean/ believe this and are not a troll. A question:

If people living in communist states were having such a good time why did their governments had to forcefully stop them from leaving their countries en masse?

To capitalist countries, no less.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@Glinner Anyone who saw ‘wokeism’ in this film has reached the stage where it’s just a boogeyman they see everywhere.

The only real wokeness you see in the film is in the company he works for and it’s played for laughs.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@clairlemon Half agree but it is the education system that should do better at ensuring kids leave school financially literate.

Not for the media to try and fix this in adults.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@esjesjesj He won’t have a trillion dollars in cash that could just be repurposed for whatever spending you think is appropriate. In fact he won’t have a single dollar more in spendable currency post-IPO.

It’s all theoretical future value.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@jrysana @RMac18 Twitter revenue has consistently fallen since that projection. How does this represent ‘good progress’?

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@Derooter @hamids Why shocked at how fast they’re moving when Elon said there’d be a million on the streets by 2020?

You didn’t believe him back then?

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@GluckGlockX @keepitquarterly 100%.

It’s just a quarterly dog and pony show that yields little investor value and distracts management from actually running the business.

[ZJ @ZoSoJade]

@dpsp1231 @farzyness Will this be similar to him proving them wrong on 1m robotaxis by 2020 and cargo missions to Mars by 2022?
