I often come back to this video to remind myself how funny the internet can be.

After seeing everything on the news, I decided to go and see for myself what is happening at UCLA. I went in with the intention of having honest conversations to try and truly understand each others pain and suffering . However, no one would speak to me . The only thing they would say to me is “You can speak with our media liaison” or “We don’t speak to agitators” . When I tried to speak with their “media liaison” they again refused to talk to me. Then, when I tried to peacefully enter their “encampment”, which is on public property that anyone has the right to walk through, they set up a human barricade to physically prevent me from going in. I can’t believe this is what our world has come to. Where are their parents? How are the school systems allowing this? We have to do better as a society. My hope and dream is still the same: that one day we can all have love, peace, and understand each other. One day…

This is your chance to show that you would have helped your Jewish neighbors had you lived during the Holocaust by standing with your Jewish neighbors today.

Jewish UCLA student BLOCKED from entering his university campus by masked anti-Israel activists because he is Jewish. Two masked activists block his entry telling him “Don’t try to push in. You’re an agitator don’t try to push in.”

200 days ago, Palestinian terrorists brought RPGs into sleepy Israeli towns and fired on civilian cars for sport. Do not for one moment forget how this war began.

@Tesla someone really muffed on the new update. Need to fix the bug, my navigation has looked like this for days.

The next Global Plastics Treaty negotiations begin in one month! @BrendaMallory46 @SecBlinken @POTUS, I’m calling on you to deliver a treaty that is legally binding, tackles the whole lifecycle of plastics, and centers frontline communities. @onlyone only.one/plasticstreaty

I had a conversation with a friend this week about how we all become captured by culture wars. We can call it The Culture War’s Shiny Object Cycle. Here is how it goes: 1. Some woke news story hits the press. -“Cats suffer from racial discrimination or screwing in lightbulbs needs to be recognised as a valid sexual kink or something.” 2. The Right Wing antibody response activates. -“Look at how insane these people are. *Matt Walsh quote tweets the article and calls it obnoxious* This is the problem with our convenient, decadent, TikTok society.” 3. This reaction causes the story to gain infinitely more traction than it ever would have done by signal boosting the original fringe-scenario into a much bigger event. ​ 4. The Left Wing counter-response activates. -“Right wingers lose their minds over one woman with a particularly dark cat. The Daily Wire has meltdown over insignificant troll article.” -In times where the original story is less insane, this includes a defence of the original article too. “Cats actually CAN experience trauma, minimising this is the REAL problem.” 5. The Right Wing re-reaction kicks into gear. -“Apparently I’m insane for pushing back against Cat Trauma. See this is the problem, if we don’t stand our ground, these blue haired idiots will take over the country.” 6. Finally, the Touch Grass Meta-Reactionaries steam in. -“The real issue is people talking about this issue. Look at how silly this whole thing is. It’s time to check out of the culture war. We should reconnect with what really matters. You should move onto the ranch next to Ryan Holiday and hammer fence posts into the ground for the rest of time.” This cycle is banal. It’s excruciatingly repetitive. So why does it sustain our attention if basically every discussion follows the same cycle? Because each story is sprinkled with just enough novelty to give it the illusion that this is a new, different event. Which legitimates the pushback… “We’ve not seen THIS Trans Flag with People Who Suffer From A Gluten Intolerance included in it before.” It’s like a 20th season of Lost where they’re back on an island for the 7th time and need to escape, but THIS TIME IT’S WINTER. The Culture War’s Shiny Object Cycle does my head in. It does my head in because I get captured by it. I see a bank rewriting classic fairy tales into a boss-bitch remake called Fairer Tales: Princesses Doing It For Themselves and think “this is fucking dumb, where’s Douglas Murray, I need him to decimate this idea with me.” It’s cathartic. Calling out insane ideas written by idiots is so compelling and fun and easy to do that it’s like being a cocaine addict with Pablo Escobar as a next door neighbour. The memes of production are whirring at maximum RPM and we’re all caught in the vortex. It was Douglas who reminded me why I’m getting so exasperated with this cycle. It is a distraction. A distraction from our attention being focussed on things which are actually meaningful. Not just meaningful in a “will you remember this when you’re dead”-way. But in a “there’s other issues that are more important to talk about”-way too. There’s entire American cities with fentanyl epidemics. 80% of suicides of people aged 18 to 24 are men. I want to hear Peterson talk about dealing with finding meaning in a world stripped of all its guard rails. I want Taleb to be writing about applying complex maths to simple life problems. Many of the smartest people on the planet have had their attention captured arguing about whether men are men and women are women or not over the last few years. And even more of the normal ones too. All of our collective minds are held hostage by an endless cycle of shiny objects that aggravate both sides and makes them feel righteous for standing their ground. I think this is a bottomless pit. I don’t think it’s going to stop. I will almost certainly bring up stories like these in future. But I’m gonna try hard to focus more on stuff that matters in 50 years, not just in 50 minutes. And probably so should you.

As you may have heard, four @Harvard alums would like to run for the Board of Overseers in the Spring election which begins April 1st. Their vision: Renew Harvard's leadership, defend free speech, protect students, and fix mismanagement. Their platform can be found here: renewharvard.com and their bios can be found on the bottom of the Renew Harvard web page. In order for them to be on the ballot, they need 3,200 alumni to nominate them by January 31st, which is only 17 days from now. Please nominate them now so you don't forget. It takes fewer than five minutes even if you have to renew your password, as I did, as I had forgotten mine. All you need is the list of candidates, their Harvard affiliation, and their date of graduation, all of which can be found below: Nominate ALL FOUR candidates before Jan 31 using your alumni login at: vote.escvote.com/harvardpetitio… Alec Williams, Harvard Business School, 2017 @alecwilliams208 Zoe Bedell, Harvard Law School, 2016 Logan Leslie, Harvard and Radcliffe College, 2015 @LoganLeslie Julia Pollak, Harvard and Radcliffe College, 2009 @juliaonjobs By nominating them now, you will have four additional choices to vote for at the election beginning April 1st until May 14th, 2024 at 5pm. The other candidates for election have been chosen by the incumbent board and/or administration so only these four represent fresh blood and new perspectives. In the election, you can decide to vote for some, all or none of them, but it is critically important to get them on the ballot so you have the option of voting for them. I think they are all outstanding. I have known Alec Williams, a Navy Seal still on active duty in addition to his day job as an investor for a family office, for many years. Alec was a Princeton grad and got his JD at Yale Law School and HBS degree contemporaneously, while also doing tours of duty in Afghanistan. The other three I met on a Zoom recently. Their resumes speak to their excellence. They are all best described as exceptional. They are all military veterans and/or continue to do tours of duty in addition to their careers, which include an Assistant U.S. Attorney, an investor, an owner/operator of small businesses, and the Chief Economist of Zip Recruiter. They were all academic superstars at Harvard as well as Yale Law School, Princeton, a Supreme Court clerk for Justice Kagan, you get the point. They will be doing a real campaign so you can get to know them better over the next few months before the election. I strongly urge you to nominate them. You can make the decision whether to vote for them once the election begins and you know more about them and their platform. Thank you for helping save Harvard!

This stunning Israeli woman, Yuval Treblesi, married Moore Treblesi on September, 9th. Remember that crazy young love, that magic beginning of a life as a family, the honeymoon vibe, that priceless feeling that you found your match in heaven ? ONE MONTH after their wedding, Moore was killed by the #HamasTerrorists , right in front of her eyes. This family lasted one month… Yuval is another widow of Israel, another jewish woman in pain. She lost not only the love of her life, but 3 of her best friends from childhood. All killed right next to her. She stayed alive because the dead bodies were falling on top of her and the killers rushed to another area, to murder more people they saw running for their lives. She would have been a hostage…or another raped woman. Or a dead one. 360 people were killed and 40 were taken hostages at the Nova Festival. A new Police report concluded that Hamas was unaware of the music Festival, it was not marked as a target on their maps and instructions found on their possesion. It was just …a bonus to kill, rape and burned people alive. I am so sorry, Yuval… 🙏

Resign. Sincerely, an ashamed and horrified Jewish alumna.

@garyvee ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So many of the wonderful people who see this unhappiness derives from their comparing themselves to others - what’s crazy about that is if they would do that in the form of gratitude versus envy they would have so much joy … please listen to this video carefully and make sure u share it with 1 person in your life who could use it today ❣️

Moments after trucks with humanitarian aid enter Gaza from Egypt, Hamas terrorists show up to loot them. Desperate and angry Gazans start throwing rocks at them and rush toward the trucks, but are forced back by warning shots fired by Hamas Terrorists…

IDF forces have captured members of the Hamas Shejaiya Battalion in Khan Younis. The terrorists are one of the main units responsible for the Oct 7th massacre as being responsible for firing hundreds of rockets into Israel. twitter.com/manc_lass3/sta…
