Why are people hating on Basil suddenly
Fergie@XiWellWisher
actually howling at this pic of the "firebomb a walmart" tweet guy

If you ran a 5-year clinical trial to look for the harms of smoking, you’d conclude smoking is safe.
That’s about how long most statin trials run.

@LibyaLiberty @Wilson__Valdez The answer is he did absolutely nothing to them.

Self identified centrists victim-blaming students whose first amendment rights were crushed under a Biden administration - a really good look. Winning hearts and minds for the next election.

"Grow up. You really expect us to protest when there is any risk or danger involved? Protesting Democrats is safe and fun. Protesting MAGA and Republicans is too dangerous. Don't be silly. Oh btw, both sides are the same"
English
Ok, let's say you think this is shaky. Not sure why, but moving on, for a moment. To the "We need to have an investigation" crew: Does this mean a police investigation followed by a trial? Is that what we need before we request Swalwell not be the Dem nominee for CA Governor?

@jdcmedlock There's gonna be a red state that relies on property taxes that gets rid of them and basically overnight ruin the state's future entirely.
English
This is one of the most economically destructive policy movements in the US right now
Grant Cardone@GrantCardone
🚨 DONALD TRUMP DEMANDS ‘NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!’ You can’t hate this! President Trump launches national revolution to abolish property taxes which would result in the most powerful economic expansion in U.S. history.

@stupidtechtakes Obviously don't use like SHA-1 or MD5 for anything critical anymore though as it's going to be easier to figure out hash collisiona (and fuck if I know how quantum computing will effect this either).
English
@stupidtechtakes It's kind of ridiculous to think SHA could be backdoored. Someone would have noticed a HASHING ALGORITHM being backdoored by now.

@poopstyx @TooMuchMortons_ He's lost like 5-6 mph on his pitches easily. Something is probably wrong.
English
Trump is hitting literally every single bullet point in the Declaration of Independence btw
American Philosophy@AmerPhilo2025
Same people going to No Kings rallies btw. The founding fathers fought a war for far less.

@who_shot_jgr One of the core tenets of Catholicism is that interpreting the Bible is hard unless you've studied for it so that's why you need a church to help interpret it.
English
sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

@NateSilver538 @TheStalwart I'll be entirely honest with you, trying to say Back's coding style is different than Satoshi's is the equivalent of handwriting experts. Yeah sure maybe there's a few people who are worth listening to but overall it's just not credible when you consider the time between.
English
@TheStalwart How much does this lower your prior that the NYT story is right?
English
Trying to build a classifier that can predict whether a given piece of text is Satoshi or not.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's enough actual Satoshi content to really do that well
But also look how garbage AI can be sometime. Read that last paragraph
English
virtually the entire democratic party is demanding swalwell drop out, so?
Noam Blum@neontaster
MeToo is truly dead.
English
@OhioKelanCraig @NateSilver538 Steyer is likely to benefit. Porter has a chance now. Becerra probably benefits as well but I doubt he can get close. And I have no idea about that San Jose mayor guy.
English
@NateSilver538 And Harris should. She can be the hero and save CA dems from themselves. Appears that filing deadline has passed. Can she/party do anything about that?
English
Kamala Harris would absolutely "moon walk" into the California governorship.
Michael LaRosa@MichaelLaRosaDC
Perhaps because 2 million voters who voted for the Democratic Nominee four years earlier, did not show up to vote for her in 2024, the Presidential nominee from their own home state? There is some strange assumption that *she* would moon walk into Governorship. But California Democrat who shed 2 million voters in four years, while Trump GAINED voters between 20 to 24 in California ... at some point has to reckon with the quality of their own candidacy and appeal in that state. This isn't overly complicated. For her sake, she absolutely made the right call to sit this out.
English
@NateSilver538 If she wanted to and it was an option she could probably win a write-in campaign.
English
@mtmanjaro10 Credible claims of sexual misconduct from 4 women, including rape.
English
Curious why he thinks Porter will benefit. I think Swallwell voters would go to Porter last. Her best bet is 1 on 1 with Steyer but now the other candidates definitely won’t drop out
Rob Stutzman 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱@RobStutzman
Market's on the move, but I think is undervaluing how much Porter is likely to benefit the most from Swalwell collapsing or dropping out.
English
@ArmandoNDK I'm hoping for Becerra but I'd prefer Steyer over Porter. Obviously I'd prefer all 3 over any republican.
English
So it looks like Steyer will be the next Governor.
Armando@ArmandoNDK
Fair or not, it’s over for Swallwell unless he has some irrefutable evidence in hand. Assuming he doesn’t, hard to understand what he was thinking here, running for Governor.
English
@JeremiahDJohns CA gov: Swalwell campaign basically being finished, Steyer probably winning
Other news: Padres walkoff grand slam (probably local to me though).
English
Been offline most of the day. Who's the main character? What's the main topic on your timeline?
English
The accusations against Swalwell aren't he-said-she-said. They're well reported, fairly corroborated, detailed and damning. And while he's denying them, it's with precise language ("These allegations are false" v. I have never engaged in any such type of behavior). He has allies abandoning him (Pelosi giving the TKO) and, in all likelihood, more stories coming. This is unsustainable.
