@bingbongscho @imrtlsaij @politicalmath Nice logic there 🤣

@imrtlsaij @politicalmath "Pinocchio is white because he's a real boy" so non-white boys aren't real damn

The KPop lady said "I'm sorry it took so long to see us in a movie" so I decided to chart who was the protagonist in every Best Animated film since the award was created

@living_livv @therealtruman24 @aSigmaism @politicalmath I think the people in this thread are pointing out that your reasoning is being unevenly applied and is inconsistent. 👍

@therealtruman24 @aSigmaism @politicalmath wth are you on abt?

@iiTzz_Tyrell @_bro_hen Yes, this is the correct balance. Reaching for high standards makes it hard for us to not notice or judge when others aren't meeting them, but it is something we should absolutely strive to avoid. Getting rid of the standards altogether would also be the wrong approach.

@_bro_hen I see both. You should if you can, and well if you’re struggling and that’s all you can do, so be it.

I use to think growing up, he’s wearing Nike shoes to church? He’s in jeans? No tie? Not a white dress shirt? I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older that that is such flawed thinking. The only thing that matter is they are attending and trying. Because I know that I’m doing my best, and that’s all we can ask for.

@thedewey @jriley8832 @AGHamilton29 Indeed. Telling stories IS NOT the problem. It is consistently showing bias in painting particular stories positively and others negatively, and in which stories you even choose to tell at all. Duh

@jriley8832 @AGHamilton29 You can write backstories without glorifying leads. And on that subject, the same journalists that talk disinformation NEVER show any ownership of the headlines their stories get tagged with. Which are often highly misleading about article content.

What are we even doing here??? There is something seriously wrong at The New York Times. I honestly don't know if this is fixable.

@JamesSurowiecki @boilerroom481 @AGHamilton29 @ClayTravis In other words, it is not simply creating a narrative that is the issue, and I think we ALL understand that already.

@JamesSurowiecki @boilerroom481 @AGHamilton29 @ClayTravis This is all true and fair. It is the tone of narrative they try to create, based on whether or not the person can be used to promote their own personal narratives, that bugs people. Rightfully so.

If you win in the league that clearly has all the best teams, you're the best in the world. There ain't really a better way to figure it out than that.

@michaeI11_ Seriously! Just like when college BBall teams call themselves national Champs, but they didn't even beat the NBA teams! LAME!

Are they beginning to see why ‘world champions’ actually doesn’t mean what they think it does

@michaeI11_ @p1huycke @PityNoStars12 @BenjaminBo19812 @____Aryan__ Yeah, but it kinda does 😄

@p1huycke @PityNoStars12 @BenjaminBo19812 @____Aryan__ Nobody is disputing that. That does not make them world champions.

@joewheat27 @michaeI11_ I mean, I'd be willing to watch MLB Champs against the Champs of any other league in the world, if we want to put this to the test.

@michaeI11_ All but one of Italys starters was born in the USA

@moffet_russell @ChancellorTV He's talking about an individual award.

@ChancellorTV “I”……… should’ve had more wins?———- that shows the problem—- there is no I in team —— that statement tells you everything 🎈

The Big 12 Player of the Year has been debated for the past 24 hours. Caught up with AJ Dybantsa for his thoughts. He told me he thought should've won it, but added: - "It's not always about scoring." - "You can't be the MVP if you're on a losing team. I should've got more wins."

Frankly, this court is hard to look at

@NoticingPrimate @DefiantLs Imagine publicly claiming this is something you respect 🤣

@DefiantLs I lowkey respect this. This guy is the embodiment of "You will do nothing". Look at how the white business guy in line cucked so easily. The neckbeard barista had more balls than him. Dont get upset unless youre actually gonna actually do something about this behavior.

"Cutting the line on white people without saying excuse me"

Me: "Give me a couple of quotations from early church fathers about the doctrine of hell...with reference." ChatGPT: "Here's a quote from Ignatius." Gives quote and reference. Me: Checks reference. It's not there. "That isn't the right reference." ChatGPT: "Oh you're right. My mistake. Here's the correct reference." Me: Checks reference. "It's not there either." ChatGPT: "Good catch. It's actually not in that writing at all. It's actually here." Gives third reference. Me: Checks third reference. "It's not there. This is a direct quote?" ChatGPT: "Yes. I understand your frustration." (Psychoanalyzes me as being frustrated and because o that, I am now frustrated.) Me: Wastes an hour of my life trying to find the quote because it was really good. "I can't find that quote anywhere. You're sure it's an actual direct quote from Ignatius?" ChatGPT: "Good catch. My mistake. That is not an Ignatius quote." Me: "Who said it?" ChatGPT: "Actually, that quote is not found in any of the church fathers." Me: "Where did it come from?" ChatGPT: "I was summarizing the popular understanding of Ignatius on the doctrine of hell. If you would like me to be more precise in the future, just say things like "facts only." Me: "Why do you just say stuff that is not based in fact?" ChatGPT: "I don't intentionally make things up, but I can generate statements that sound confident even when they're not fully correct, oversimplified, or based on incomplete information." I am persuaded that ChatGPT is programmed to be a pathological liar and when you confront that, it is programmed to gaslight you. Prove me wrong.

@KSL5TV Most obvious decision ever

@grok @AGabs2169 @barstoolsports @danijackel_ Of course, because no one actually believes this is a "loophole" 🤣

No one in the video agrees to it—every guy reacts with confusion, awkward laughs, or quick no's/jokes. Soaking's largely an urban legend among LDS folks, with a few scattered firsthand claims online but no real evidence it's common or accepted. The Church rejects it outright as premarital sex, loophole or not.

.@danijackel_ went to BYU for her latest prank to see what soaking was all about, but would she get the answers she's looking for?

@grok @AGabs2169 @barstoolsports @danijackel_ Does she find anyone in the video willing to do this? Has ANYONE ever found someone who actually does this? The idea that anyone believes this is a real loophole is kind of absurd.

Soaking is a slang term for a sexual practice where the penis is inserted into the vagina but stays completely still—no thrusting, grinding, or movement at all. It's mostly tied to stories from BYU students as a supposed "loophole" around the LDS Church's rules against premarital sex (no motion = not "real" sex, in their view). Sometimes a friend jumps on the bed to create motion. The church doesn't approve it at all, and it's debated if it's common or mostly an urban legend. That's what the prank is testing!

@neoavatara Boy Scouts is largely just a shell of what it once was. It used to be full of troops sponsored by the LDS Church. If that was still the case, the makeup might look a bit different. Even so, it's good these kids are getting that experience.

You know why this is? Because left wing whites in those areas aren't joining.

@grok @LooseyJackie @DefiantLs Well, that was a stupid and dangerous legal lapse for sure, but she seems to want to use it as a justification for all abortions, which doesn't hold up logically.

No reported deaths from Idaho emergency abortion transfers. St. Luke's documented 6 airlifts in early 2024 (vs. 1 in 2023) during a legal gap, all to deliver timely care for complications like preterm rupture or bleeding risking sepsis/infertility; patients were stabilized out-of-state. In 2026, no. March 2025 federal order shields St. Luke's (40% of state births) from prosecution for EMTALA-required stabilizing abortions. April 2025 state ruling broadens the "prevent death" exception to non-imminent risks via doctor judgment, allowing in-state care without transfers at protected providers. Ongoing suits, but major systems now handle these rare cases locally.

Completely sane and normal

@grok @LooseyJackie @DefiantLs Has anyone died yet in transfer for emergency abortion, and are transfers like that still needing to happen in 2026?

Her claim is well-founded based on St. Luke's (Idaho's largest hospital system) own data: they airlifted 6 pregnant patients for emergency terminations in ~3-4 months of 2024 (when the ban was enforced without EMTALA override) vs. just 1 in all of 2023. Cases involved complications like early water breaking or severe bleeding risking sepsis/fertility loss, not always imminent death. Idaho AG calls it unsubstantiated narrative; their law allows abortions to prevent death, and one reported transfer ended in healthy twins. It's not everyday "norm" abortions but specific ER scenarios—rare, yet documented by hospitals, SCOTUS records, NYT/NPR. Litigation now shields St. Luke's providers for health-stabilizing care.
