@mcuban Nice try. Narc Cuban

@carriecoon This is why he keeps beating you

Anne Applebaum nails it:

The fault was literally just that it worked too well.

@melikenba @JoshEberley It’s awesome in 70mm imax And over hated on otherwise imo

@JoshEberley Am i in the minority that actually likes tenet?

Nolan: Absolute fire: The Prestige, Interstellar, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Loved it but a note or two: Memento, Inception Moments of brilliance but I got caveats: Dunkirk, Insomnia, Oppenheimer, The Dark Knight Rises Nah I'm good: Tenet, Following

@JTAlexander_ @SuitablePolitic Summers are great. Winters are bad. It’s being raped and pillaged liked the rest of the world sadly. It has a special place in my heart

@thatchthoughts @SuitablePolitic

How Murkowski survives is beyond me. Or rather, why GOP voters continuously allow a few parliamentary tricks to overcome them. This woman is one of the most poisonous members of the party. She has worked tirelessly to drag the GOP leftwards, and she's done it all from the well-known purple state of... ... Alaska. It's abject insanity. At least we afforded a half decent challenge to Cornyn. We have Lindsey Graham under crosshairs 24 hours a day. But Lisa Murkowski? She's still here. Somehow.

@JTAlexander_ @SuitablePolitic My folks live there. It’s a weird place lol.

Its a combination of corruption, Libertarianism, and the Natives. Murkowski is more easily understood in the context of understanding "Uncle Ted." Not Kaczinsky, but Stevens. Ted Stevens was put on trial for corruption-type charges in 2008. Everybody knew he was guilty. The Feds had to put him on trial in DC because they couldn't get a fair trial in Alaska. They couldn't get a fair trial in Alaska because Alaskans didn't care. So what if Ted got some free furniture? Alaska was thriving largely off of his excellent work. Alaskans have far more tolerance for corruption and inertia than they claim to have. Alaskans are, in my experience, far more prone to talk than action. Murkowski wins off of this. She famously got her start being appointed to her Senate seat when her dad, the previous occupant, died. This should have been a major red flag, but Frank Murkowski was pretty popular so it was tolerated. Murkowski lost a primary in 2010, but ran as a write-in and somehow allegedly won, despite not even being on the ballot and running against both a Republican and a Democrat. The map here shows the results of that 2010 election. That big red area that voted for the Republican is Alaska's traditional "Red Wall." Where Murkowski got all of these write-in ballots from is (1) Anchorage, and (2) everywhere not on the road system. Mail-in ballots have always been legal in Alaska. Alaska takes forever to count votes because, legitimately, a third of the population lives in places only accessible by boat, plane, ATV, or dogsled. Alaskan Natives are an overwhelmingly Democrat-voting bloc, yet somehow Murkowski outperformed everyone on the ballot. This is one of those things that defies every political rule and trend in the book, and so its obviously fraudulent, but nobody could ever prove it. Litigation happened, but it went nowhere. Since 2010, this map has also shown the overall constituency of Alaska's Senate delegation: Murkowski represents the people in the green area, and Sullivan the people in the red area. The problem is the people in the green area aren't Republicans. They vote for... well, I'll just leave at these areas vote Democrat. "Democrat" is also a bad word in Alaska. Even most of the Democrats there don't like to identify themselves as one. They usually run as "Independent" or "Unaffiliated." So, Murkowski has built herself a coalition of Alaskan Natives, Libertarians, and the Alaskan Elites. Democrats can't beat her because the Red Wall hates Democrats so much, but a Republican challenger can't beat her either because she has sufficient vote dominance (and probably enough fraud) in the bush to overcome the challenge.

@Gallo_Woodworks People have no idea how vast Alaska is. So much space that’s just not important to anything lol

The nuclear disposal thing is a non-issue, the best solution, is to find an area the size of a couple football fields in northern alaska, and just let the waste irridate the crap out of it. It'd have a smaller ecological effect than two or three solar farms.

@SuitablePolitic Kent probably -500 over Vance though. But it’s a silly argument. Cerno is so smart sometimes. Hate reading this sillyness

@SuitablePolitic Vance would be a -250 favorite over Rubio and a -3000 over Tucker in a cage fight lol

The claim doesn't even hold up on its own merits lol. Tucker Carlson is apparently the head of the ticket and isn't anymore physically fit than JD Vance or Marco Rubio.

@ripplebrain @john30028168 Well it significantly undermines your argument to use accurate language here haha

@john30028168 Rhetoric on my part

2020: No one can detect the F-35 2023: Maybe the F-35 can be detected under certain conditions by advanced militaries 2025: One of the poorest countries in the world can detect and lock on to the F-35 but can't hit it 2026: A poor country can detect, lock on to, and hit the F-35 and force it to make an emergency landing but it can't destroy it in the air I wonder what the future holds

@BlakeKresses @RepThomasMassie

Day 1 of asking Thomas Massie to show his audience metrics. Tag him for me, I am blocked.

When they were building the pyramids, were they allowed to pee down the side, or did they have to walk all the way to the bottom? Obviously no poops but I’m wondering about pee.

@BobBobb660056 @butt_watermelon Hopefully a little short term suffering wakes them up

@butt_watermelon I don’t want my ethnically European, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand brothers and sisters or the Japanese to suffer.

Please note, the good future is ONLY applicable for the United States. The rest of the world is absolutely correct to be screaming despair.

@PiotrRetardo @Prominent_Bryan It’s the immigration

@Prominent_Bryan What are you smoking? We have a nearly identical GDP per capita to Finland… the number one country… Clearly something else is the issue.

The "GDP per capita is a useless metric of quality of life" crowd in shambles

@Ward6Kris @WondrousIdeals @Prominent_Bryan The famous phrase of the midwit

@WondrousIdeals @Prominent_Bryan Lol correlation isn't causation buds. Try not using ai to sub in for your brain.

@InsiderGeo Oh, shut the fuck up It’s very clear Donald Trump knows how to be friends with Japan

People often don’t realize that you can’t talk to Asians the same way you talk to Europeans or Westerners. There’s a cultural expectation that historical context, respect, and subtlety are treated differently what might seem casual or humorous in the West is deeply offensive in Japan, In Japan, context, respect, and subtlety guide almost every interaction. Unlike in many Western countries, where directness is valued, Japanese communication often relies on reading between the lines.

@BlakeKresses Why does it seem like so many people have a hard time drawing this line? Why is everyone fucking retarded?

This is possibly the best tweet I’ve ever seen.

@HTWardish @sethjlevy It’s weird because he’s reasonably smart about a lot of stuff it seems

@sethjlevy Guy is a true schizophrenic.

This person was also certain that DeSantis would beat Trump.

@kobewolfe2 @jjsdad666 @ghostofkurta Dolby is great but a GT imax theater is the premium experience imo. I love a huge screen

@jjsdad666 @ghostofkurta Thats probably the one exception this year lol I’ll definitely see that in imax first then dolby the second time for sure Last year for Sinners I saw it in Dolby first cause I didn’t care too much about the movie and I ended up loving it and went an saw Imax the next day

Wait is Nolan blocking Marvel from IMAX screens too lmao

@esaagar You’ve been hanging around Krystal too long. Jfc bro Touch grass it was a joke

Trump comparing the Iran war to Pearl Harbor is even crazier when you consider that his theory was that Iran would rise up and rebel against the regime What happened to the deeply divided US society dead set against war after the surprise attack? Rally around the flag...

@JBlunt1018 “Let me explain what your culture is and why it includes me”

HUGE NEWS and honestly, this is long overdue. For the first time in a while, it feels like the left is actually stepping up to push back against the H-1B misinformation and the growing anti-Indian rhetoric online and in real life. Hasan Minhaj just dropped an excellent breakdown on the whole H-1B / “Indian narrative” and it hits on a lot of the misinformation that’s been floating around unchecked. I’m attaching a clip below + the full YouTube link. This matters. For too long, protectionist narratives have dominated the conversation often driven by fear, bad data, or outright misinformation. And it’s had real consequences. It’s time to: — push back on the rhetoric — correct the misunderstandings — stop letting one side control the entire narrative Good to finally see someone with a platform call it out.
