The White House X feed is an embarrassment to America. Currently churning out juvenile content that comes across as a bunch of immature frat boys who think that war is a movie or a video game.

A chief cause of delusion is the need for certainty. Just as the thirst for water may drive a desert wanderer to chase mirages, so the thirst for answers makes us rush into poorly justified beliefs. To avoid being duped, become comfortable with uncertainty.

@Movie_Comlink @NolanAnalyst It's one long story Tolkien was persuaded to split into 3 parts. So quite a different scenario.

@NolanAnalyst LOTR: Return of the King

Christopher Nolan on the making of The Dark Knight Rises: “There are no good third sequels, basically. Rocky III maybe. But they are very difficult. So my instinct was to change genres. The first one is an origin story. The second one is a crime drama very much like Heat, and the third one, we needed to blow up bigger, because you can’t scale down. The audience doesn’t give you any choice, but nor can you go back and do what you did before. So you’ve got to shift genres. We went for the historical epic, the disaster film, The Towering Inferno meets Doctor Zhivago.” Source: Tom Shone’s book “The Nolan Variations”.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

This country needs to decide if it likes capitalism or not

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

@MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Mr. Platner claims a billionaire is deflecting from an issue he doesn't want to talk about. This may be true. Mr. Platner is also deflecting from an issue he doesn't want to talk about.

Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don’t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”

It's a late entry, but we might have a new contender for Worst Take Of The Discorse. Presenting: Isn't being tolerant of a disabled man with Tourette's syndrome kind of like supporting a pedophile?

MAGA act as if they’ll be in power forever, just like the woke did in 2020. No attempt to reign in their maniacs, manage their optics, or hide their hypocrisy. And just like the woke, MAGA’s hubris will make their fall all the harder when the backlash puts their enemies in power.

You. Like, literally you. Are in violation of the Epstein disclosures law. Currently.

Richard Dawkins first referred to himself as a "cultural Christian" 19 years ago on a BBC program. This isn't some big new thing that a lot of people are trying to make it out to be. "I'm not one of those who wants to stop Christian traditions. This is historically a Christian country. I'm a cultural Christian in the same way many of my friends call themselves cultural Jews or cultural Muslims. So yes, I love singing carols along with everybody else, I'm not one of those who want to purge our society of our Christian history."

@RoKhanna @amasad

@amasad It's 1 percent a year for 5 years

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."

@GloriousGod01 @CalltoActivism Hypocrisy?

@CalltoActivism Minaj literally calls the VP an assassin on stage with Erika Kirk post-assassination. Then freezes when she realizes. This clip is pure gold for exposing the hypocrisy.

🚨HUGE BLUNDER: Nicki Minaj just referred to JD Vance as an “assassin” while speaking to Erika Kirk. Watch her completely squirm when she realizes what she said. An absolutely massive fuckup caught live:

@SarahTheHaider Tbf one might say it's less that it's equated to it, and more that it's evidenced by it, even if it's not the most palatable way to showcase empowerment.

@wil_da_beast630 Many such recent cases

This has to be a joke.

@doctor_rahmeh Why do you assume he was arrested for 'no reason' ?

If you are not furious, ashamed, and heartbroken that an NHS doctor—who chose to stand in solidarity outside a prison over the critical health of hunger striker Qesser—was arrested for no reason, then you should be. This is what Britain is doing for 'israel' and it is a moral disgrace. Dr Ayo Moiette, we stand with you.

@ClaudiaWebbe '...whilst Black'

Dr Ayo Moiett arrested for revolutionary act of demanding another human being (on hunger strike over Gaza) receive medical attention. Detained standing outside a prison with a stethoscope, whilst Black. His offence? Witnessing state cruelty and saying no

@MoneyLineMickey @Acyn x.com/JakeBalchNFT/s…

@Acyn There are zero illegals buying middle class homes. Just straight up fairy tale nonsense.

Vance: If you have fewer people, fewer illegal aliens trying to buy homes, that means American citizens are finally going to be able to afford a home again. It's very, very simple economics

@ThoughtsMiz @aemond @SpencerHakimian That is just how he talks... I know.

@aemond @SpencerHakimian ??

Trump just put this under Obama’s picture at the White House.

Video is so easily faked these days, why aren't camera makers embedding checksums or crypto hashes to prove video is taken from the camera and not post-edited / modified? It shouldn't be long before all video evidence can simply be discounted as too easily faked.
