MY SHORTSTOP IS A WORLD CHAMPION

EZEQUIEL TOVAR IS A WORLD CHAMPION!!

I love a paragraph that 1. Advocates for a ground invasion of Iran and 2. Posits that maybe killing the entire leadership of Iran will lead to a nicer country through completely unexplained means

Hi, I’m an absolute fucking idiot who’s been consistently wrong on every major question for the last decade or more. Here’s my shit-for-brains, literally dumb-as-bricks take on Iran, published as always in the leading paper of repute, because, as always, nothing fucking matters.

In @nytopinion “The United States is stronger when anti-American dictators have solid reasons to fear our wrath,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes. nyti.ms/4b03MTs

In a just world, RFK Jr, his health appointees, and other health appointees/“leaders” who spread mis and disinformation to large audiences, through official channels, through guidance policy, would be removed from their positions and criminally charged.

@Ann_907 Despite the media's scare tactics, there's no reason to fear measles.

@fire_toolz I hate that these douchebags all write like an AI chatbot now. I consider it a violence against language

@tomnestorcomic I'm stealing that, my hair is super long now not because I just kept putting off getting a haircut but because I am consistent
English
Saw a guy on TikTok boasting about how he stayed consistent and it was just about him growing his hair out

@ettingermentum Stidham is a decent backup, probably better than rivers rn

So you have to at least think about Rivers here right

@NathanJRobinson I hate it when my non-westerners aren’t western enough to not be non-westerners

And maybe you really do believe that about ICE. You’re a centrist for a reason. We think about the world in different ways. But just say your positive beliefs about them with your chest instead of assuming we believe the same thing, because we don’t.

Kids these days may be too young to remember but this was the far left flank of Permitted Democratic Criticism during Iraq as well. Process critiques allow you to look vaguely critical without addressing the substance of anything, which tracks for an empty shirt like Newsom
Krystal Ball@krystalball
Absolutely dreadful statement from Newsom. He seems to think the only problem with Trump’s illegal war and kidnapping of a head of state is a lack of sufficient planning.

@terrybrash One of the most pathetic and vapid tweets to return from such a long absence with how about you stay gone

the “two things can be true” guys are now up to five things. we are experiencing an 8-blade razor epistemological situation here
Nicholas Kristof@NickKristof
Several contradictory things are simultaneously true: 1. Maduro was an oppressive, unpopular and illegitimate ruler, disastrous for his country and the region. 2. Using the US to remove him may have been equally illegitimate. 3. Venezuela would be better off with a new government under the opposition's Edmundo Gonzalez (who probably won the presidential election but is now exiled). 4. It's not clear that Maduro will be replaced by Gonzalez. Maduro's VP is still apparently in power, as are other regime figures and the Cubans who back them. 5. As we've seen in Iraq and Libya, it can be easier to topple a leader than to establish a new government; sometimes you get a worse leader, or Somalia-style chaos.

@_danielle_carr All I need to know about how actually serious he is considering this idea is the most obvious omission in his examples

I think everyone involved with getting this on my timeline is an idiot in such unique and distinct ways I just had to gawk at it for a moment

@Colin_d_m @allie0t As posted elsewhere already, these sweeps are not "forcing homeless into shelters" in any way shape or form.

Maybe sit this one out, big guy
English
It’s unfortunately destabilizing but I don’t think ceding public land and neighborhoods to tent cities like was done in portland leads to any good outcomes. These settlements become cesspools of crime and drugs, as happened in Downtown Portland around 2020-2021. They also make the area unlivable for existing residents.
There is no good solution but I think forcing homeless into shelters is the best achievable short-term action.

As someone who lived in Portland through COVID and moved to NYC, please don't. We already tried this on the west coast and it was a huge disaster

.@ZohranKMamdani says he will discontinue sweeps of homeless encampments begun by the Adams admin
