@ThomasSowell No white person is making you stupid, dear. That's all on you.

"The one way black people achieve true liberation that's by taking it in bl*od."

@joni_askola Amen.

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

@filipecardo Stay single, obviously. There is no such thing as a generous, unselfish woman. In this whole, wide world. Besides you only want to work and fly your rocketship to Mars.

I'm afraid to marry because every woman is after my money, they don't value me🥺💔 What do I do?

@r0ck3t23 Will he bring back unicorns and dragons?

Elon Musk just declared war on the oldest enemy in human history. Not a nation. Not an ideology. Scarcity. For ten thousand years, every war, every empire, every revolution traces back to the same root. Not enough. Not enough food. Not enough land. Not enough labor. Not enough energy. Every political system ever built was a different strategy for dividing a pie that was never big enough. Capitalism. Communism. Socialism. Different answers to the same question, who eats when the table runs short. Musk: “Tesla is obviously about sustainable technology, and at this point, we’ve added sustainable abundance to our mission.” Sustainable abundance. Two words that contradict everything economics has taught for 250 years. The entire discipline was founded on the study of scarce resources. Adam Smith. Ricardo. Keynes. Marx. Every one of them took scarcity as a law of nature. Musk is treating it as a temporary engineering problem. Musk: “People often talk about solving global poverty, or how to give everyone a very high standard of living. I think the only way to do this is AI and robotics.” Politicians have promised to end poverty since the French Revolution. Not one has come close. Because you cannot redistribute your way out of scarcity. You can move the shortage around. You can rename it. You can subsidize it. You cannot legislate it out of existence. But you can engineer it out of existence. When an autonomous robot can mine the lithium, build the solar array, wire the factory, and assemble the product for nothing but sunlight and software, the cost of labor approaches zero. When labor hits zero, goods follow. When goods hit zero, poverty has no mechanism left to survive. This is not philanthropy. This is not policy. This is physics. The assumption behind modern civilization is that a decent life requires decades of grinding labor. That was never a law of nature. It was a limitation of our tools. Every government that ever tried to solve poverty was treating a symptom. Musk is deleting the disease. Every empire that ever rose did so by controlling scarcity. Every empire that ever fell did so because scarcity won. The civilization taking shape right now will be the first in history built not on managing scarcity, but on eliminating it. Poverty will not be ended by a speech, a summit, or a tax code. It will be engineered into extinction.

@ThomasSowell The man who wants to die in a strip club on Mars. Pretty much sums him up.

Elon Musk: "Long term, I would like to move to Mars, I think it would be great to be born on Earth and die on Mars, just hopefully not at the point of impact."

@noah_mwamfupe You wish. Because if He did, you sure have wasted your inheritance.

Jesus didn’t leave us the Bible. He left the Catholic Church.

@ThomasSowell Odd. My experience is that they never shut up about it. You drink milk! That hurts my feelings!

Michelle Obama: "We don't articulate, as black women, our pain. Because it's almost like nobody ever gave us permission to do that."

@its_The_Dr Both. Well, not milk. Cream. And sour cream.

Which do you use?

@elonmusk There is something else not being discussed. Who outside the cabals knew about all this and how were they made to stay silent all these years.

They all work together

@cutiieepie6 Ayuh.

I am literally shaking. Some teenager threw a rock off an overpass and did this to my truck. I caught him, and his dad had the nerve to say, "He’s just a kid being a kid, I’ll give you $50 for the 'inconvenience'." $50?? This is a specialized windshield with sensors! He told me I was "ruining a child’s future" by calling the police. I feel like he’s raising a criminal and expects me to pay for it. Do I press full charges?

@elonmusk I bet they never imagined it would be revealed.

Exactly

@AntiWokeMemes He's losing his estrogen. Well, they do get estrogen injections. Maybe it doesn't stay long. Bit early for early menopause. What a pity. Beyond childbearing now. Oh, well.

'Trans Woman' says: “I’m so hot, I’m so sweaty and it’s cold outside...I’m in menopause” What could he be experiencing??

@JackoWilliams64 @johnddavidson Did 100 prayers today. My brain is fried. Sorry.

@godwizard @johnddavidson As I said, 10th century.

What's odd and a somewhat disappointing about Pope Leo's response here is that he diminishes the importance of sexual morality, saying there are "much larger and more important issues--such as justice, equality, the freedom of men and women, and religious freedom." Setting aside that sexual morality affects these "larger issues" (especially as they concern the family), the specific question he's responding to here concerns the German bishops' blessing of same-sex couples, which he says the Holy See disagrees with, and that disagreement has been communicated to the German bishops. So in Germany, the question of sexual morality, and specifically that of gay couples, is important enough that the German bishops are risking schism with Rome over it, and indeed are right now in open rebellion! On that basis alone, it would seem that sexual morality is indeed one of the most important issues facing the Catholic Church today, and it would be helpful if the pope's comments reflected that reality.

@RedEaglePatriot @Afo3 I worked for an Indian-owned firm once. It was definitely odd. They were thrilled with my work but would give me terrible reviews. A friend, with experience, told me this was par for the course. I finally left. It was too weird.

@Afo3 I have family members that worked for companies ran by Chinese nationals, and it's atrocious. They won't even hire qualified Americans over unqualified Chinese nationals if they don't have to. On X, India X is the most vitriolic I've seen out in the open, though.

Both groups, especially post-1990 arrivals, have an absurdly insane in-group bias and refuse to assimilate. This is because they have a false, unearned sense of superiority over Americans--the living conditions of those two countries serve as proof of that falsity. I can't imagine African nations wanting hordes of KKK members to move in to their countries--why should we let hundreds of thousands of people into ours that are essentially Han or Hindu supremacists? Yeah, it's not *all* of them, but it's far too many to say that we shouldn't drastically reduce these numbers. We shouldn't have communities in Northern DFW becoming unrecognizable overnight while Native-born Americans struggle to find employment. Immigration is a game of diminishing returns. It's why we stopped pretty much all immigration in the 1920s, and that was with almost all immigration up to that point coming from Western nations. It's why Armenians in Glendale that came over more recently engage in Medicare fraud, while Armenian arrivals to Metro Detroit in the 1910s-1940s contributed greatly to their communities. I don't have some sort of ridiculously unhealthy in-group preference to understand the nuance here, and I'm glad Marco Rubio banned naturalizations from Armenia. When it comes to India, you first got people like JD Vance's father-in-law in the 1970s. Today, you get Siraj Unpronouncablelastname from a mid-tier caste who fakes his credentials, comes here on an H1B visa to work an entry-level coding job that should have gone to a US-born STEM grad, refuses to mow his lawn, brings over his wife that refuses to dress in Western attire, and demands that a giant statue of a Hindu deity be placed in your town square in Texas as some sort of humiliation ritual. Enough is enough.

@Vitus_osst I think that reliance on The Holy Spirit for guidance was severed for all time when the church inserted the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed.

What you should know about the Papal infallibility. -Papal infallibility is a Catholic dogma stating the Pope is preserved from error when he formally defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals for the entire Church. This protection applies only when he speaks ex cathedra, or "from the chair" of St. Peter, in his official capacity as supreme shepherd. The belief is rooted in Jesus’s promise to Peter, with the theological reasoning that the Holy Spirit would not allow the Church to be led into doctrinal error on essential matters of salvation.

@Victoria00025 Only if you count killing people as a means of creating peace by eliminating anyone who disagrees with you.

Be honest 👇🏾

@FFT1776 They already have been by a circuit court.

This will go to the Virginia Supreme Court. What does everyone think? ➤ Will the election results be overturned?

@timony001 How many days in her four-year term would she have worked? A dozen?

Q: She would have been a great president. Do you agree? A. YES B. NO

@AntiLeftMemes It must be the shots. They Are All The Same.

Do Liberals have a mental breakdown every day?

@lady_valor_07 That he insults our Lord with his every breath and makes his "church" an unwelcoming place to receive His second coming, I suppose I do.

Do you Care what the Pope thinks?
