@kemenzerem All said, I would wholeheartedly support any pluralist Iranian Republic OR constitutional monarchy which preserved religious freedom, dissident politics, freedom of conscience, of thought and invention — as was cultivated by Persians for centuries before any European Renaissance.

@kemenzerem I am no lover of the mullahs — but their revolution enjoyed popular support in '78. Religious rule has been harsh — but, under Shahs AND Ayatollahs, Iran has maintained a broader cultural pluralism than Russia under Putin's FSB (the brutal regime Trump's cronies try to emulate).

I love @kemenzerem but, despite a wonderfully gravelly voice straight out of BrassEye's War episode, it should be pointed out that his first sentence, last night, was poorly researched: “America’s relationship with Iran had" NOT "been tense for decades before the hostage crisis"

@WallStreetApes I like that this dick says he'd 'broken a rib in a confrontation with federal agents.' Oh - so then ICE agents _broke_ his rib? And how's this an 'invented person' or AI generated image? An *actual* work photo with boosted colours is fakenow? MAGA clearly thinks you're dumb.

Benny Johnson exposes “Everything the media has told you about Alex Pretti is a lie” - “He was actually a professional agitator who was hunting down ICE agents and actually had broken a rib in a confrontation with federal agents a week before. Yet he was right back out on the streets, this according to CNN” - He brought a loaded Sig Sauer P320 to the Minneapolis ICE protest - The media is showing “an AI generated fake person” - He was known to federal agents for aggressive behavior - He had a digital history of hunting ICE agents on the Signal app “According to Alex Pretti's parents, he had quit his job. He joined some kind of group and his parents were worried about his safety. Alex Prety spent his time hunting down ICE agents.”

@DIDiscs When playing Andrew Lloyd Webber's inferior Pie Jesu, why attribute it to Fauré? Fauré's Pie Jesu (stripped of a fierce Dies Ire) is one of the most beautiful "lullabies" in his entire haunting requiem. Why should Webber's (who does Fauré no justice) even credit him?

@itsonlywords @Matt_Pinner Me too. Currently at 24, since I have no idea what a mimeograph is.

@Matt_Pinner Hell, I’ve punched a computer program onto paper tape. Of course I’ve done all 20 of these.

10 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?

@daveweisberger @Matt_Pinner The only thing I don't get is the mimeograph — what's that? — Oh, and the encyclopaedia was Dad's.

@Matt_Pinner 20 for me. I guess I am older than I thought... (for bonus points, we could have added: 21. Watched a Black and White Television 22. Used a slide rule 23. Read articles from Microfiche 24. Took tests created with a mimeograph

@Yerkyak @J9ui9ce9 @WraithFrodo @chaotichermes Who cares about communism? Why's this gay boy so hot for botox and Nazi gear? Reminds me of an old Dire Straits song: story behind it here - youtube.com/watch?v=P7fzeB…; original with lyrics - youtu.be/k4Z0j7icQNg?si… As in 70s Munich, he and his fag hag just seem a tad sad. Sigh.

Why Paul Miller wants Zohran Mandami (the Muslim communist) to be mayor in NYC:

@theashleycasey Such a Gen-Z snowflake.

Best video I’ve watched in a while. I highly recommend everyone watch it. youtu.be/QfbHMPkmvtE

@BGatesIsaPyscho We're not Boomers. We're Gen X: FAR fewer of us; born in 60s; under 10 (if conceived) by Woodstock. Boomers worshipped wealth in the 80s: peacenik hippies suddenly bankers. We got free school, then sent into unemployment, poverty and punk. So don't blame Reagan/Thatcher on us.

“Boomers want to know what it’s like being young in 2025?”

@bbcpaddy Worth pointing out here that Dolly Parton did involve herself with such issues? During the War on Terror, she arranged to fly Cat Stevens (by then, Yuseff Islam) in to one of her concerts. Sadly, whilst transferring at Toronto, he was denied entry to USA.

@DollyD2022 @elonmusk @POTUS Not quite, Dolly. Those who love it are FSB - formerly KGB, who keep Putin as figurehead. Over two decades, Russian money spent $billions on social-media bots, trolls and disinformation to divide America (and Europe - and America _from_ Europe). Divide and conquer - oldest game.

@elonmusk I'm disappointed in you and @potus. This public feud is hurtful. Democrats love it.

Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill. In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way. x.com/cb_doge/status…

@EALEXACME @KatKanada_TM "She has a path she has chosen is to make Alberta successful," is not English. Of course, Trump lovers can't write: structured thought observes rules. It's basic, kidz: Subject, verb, object (latter optional). Listening to Trump, you won't learn to think: he wants you confused.

@KatKanada_TM Carlos take a moment to see what this woman has done. Take a moment to attend one of her rallies. Take a moment to listen to her. She has a path she has chosen is to make Alberta successful. What would your plan be? Follow the Nenshi road to globalism?

lol. Nope.

@AdameMedia @NobleQAli ADAM's human — but FFS, check the source of bizarre and offensive tweets before getting drawn into hatred or cynicism. This happened in Rwanda, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo to name but a few. Easier now: if you are lazy and quick to anger, you become a pawn in someone else's game.

@AdameMedia @NobleQAli Hey, guys - haven't you thought about the sockpuppets which polarised social media meming since 2014? Doesn't widespread repetition of the parking lot 'offence du jour' give you pause? Hang on, though — perhaps ADAM is another sockpuppet? Be wary, folks. vox.com/2018/10/19/179…

@nobydy661 @NobleQAli I understand the rationale — but, by becoming so enraged he despises people according to their profile, he's helping to do Putin's work for him.

@NobleQAli this one was pretty disgusting

@2Tone4Real @i_iratus On the whole, crime is the cause of migration. Sad to admit, we've a big hand in much war crime. Aiding refugees helps atone for others' crime: it is a humble duty. But those EMIGRATING from Britain with proceeds stolen from your state — THEY tell you to blame "the immigrants."
