Kanskje ikke den personen jeg ville gjetta at skulle skrive denne teksten, og kanskje heller ikke en perfekt tekst, men gud bedre så viktig og bra likevel. Nordmenn er rett og slett ikke klar over hvor ekstrem Musk har blitt, og det er DRITBRA at noen i mainstreamen sier det. e24.no/internasjona...

Målbevisst og systematisk fremmer Musk ideer fra det ekstreme høyre

Verdens rikeste mann er også en høyreradikal aktivist som blir stadig mer ekstrem. Hvor langt kan det gå?

On the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum, let us check in on how it's going...

I don’t get why no one bothers to point out that micromanaging renovations of the reflecting pool aren’t even remotely the job of the president. Everyone seems to be cool that this is is primary policy focus.

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

I tried making this point in March. Apart from @professormusgrave.bsky.social, I don't know if anyone cared. Damn, so effing stupid!

Ok, I couldn't care less about sports and the coming world cup but now I am rooting for #Belgium.

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

I’m thinking very hard about this but it is difficult to see the US-Vietnam War involving higher stakes for the USA. I’m welcome to being corrected. The scale of loss is not an index of interest.

Not for nothing but freedom of navigation has been a core US foreign policy objective for 200+ years and preserving the Arabian Gulf from domination has been one for just a hair under 50. When I say things like “calamity” or “inexcusable defeat”, I am not being partisan or exaggerating.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

Source after source told 60 Minutes they fear today’s insider trading scandal about military secrets is tomorrow’s national security scandal. If market-watchers can spot irregular trades, surely enemies can, too. And they’ll make their war plans accordingly. cbsn.ws/4uSxuCf

Academia relies on good faith. It cannot be done otherwise. This is precisely why plagiarists, people who fake data, people who deliberately ignore counter-evidence, and fascists need to be driven out. Full cordon sanitaire against this crap.

will pooley@willpooley.bsky.social · 3mo ago

absolutely wild to see people out here saying that it is responsibility of peer reviewers to check for hallucinated references. it is hard enough to persuade people to read articles and provide reviews. expecting them to spend hours cross reffing literature is unreal.

We haven’t even begun to understand the Pandora’s Box that this war has opened. @cfr.org www.cfr.org/articles/aft...

just to emphasize again, closing Malacca means 'taking a couple of extra days on a trip.' the economist had a great recent graph on various straits and their relative levels of direness.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Thursday.

Jonathan Ladd@jonathanmladd.com · 3mo ago

I think a U.S. president should not use the FBI to persecute major politicians, Federal Reserve Board members, or anyone else because the president has a political or policy disagreement with them. It's the sort of behavior that should trigger impeachment by the House and removal by the Senate.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

I'm happy to announce something I have been so, so eager to share for a long time: "Leo Woodall has been cast as Halvard in ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM’". It will be a tall order for Leo, but I believe he might just have it in him to bring the complexity of Halvard to the big screen.

Should be part of his next test.

The earliest one listed is "Pius XII and the Holocaust." Mind you, for a thousand years, Popes were actual political rulers, and for much of that time they were involved in the selection or deposing of some of the most powerful crowned heads of Europe. Then for sixty years...

Again, while Democrats might not want to force impeachment for various reasons, there is nothing stopping them from calling for his resignation. Think of it as Temu impeachment.
