@HistoryUnd Those prison uniforms are real? Jesus. Did they all steal hamburgers?

Six inmates in Georgia were on a work detail when a deputy sheriff suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness. Instead of fleeing or attempting to take his weapon, they used his phone to call 911 and stayed by his side until help arrived. In gratitude for their actions, the

@mattyglesias I will never stop correcting people who can't tell their Stephens from their Stevens. Of all the Vs, I think Pinker is the most Phed for some reason. I'm guessing Ph is higher class so people expect it of an Ivy League professor.

Stephen Spielberg probably doesn’t need my help but the West Side Story remake is badly underrated and underseen.

@BarryOnHere Made a fool of himself in the Hertz commecials.

People hate O.J. because he's the only player to ever run for 2,000 yards in a 14 game season. Admittedly, he was not a great actor in the Naked Gun movies, but that doesn't warrant the hate he got IMO.

@hairygit @KlassicalKat_88 Stopped heating up my coke. Debased.

@KlassicalKat_88 And when your electricity gets cut off, you’re delighted.

Whose dumb idea was it that “deride” doesn’t mean “get off your bicycle”?

About to hit the Sbarro's in Times Square. But as a traveler, not a tourist.

@kenklippenstein Someone said "Google Earth". I mean, if that isn't proof of a conspiracy, I don't know what is.

Cannot find a single piece of evidence in all the angry replies 👇

@hairygit Ha, I just saw that I might need to rewrite "conversion".

@StevenReilly20 Ah, thanks for that. I kept seeing the quote all over the place, but the source was never cited. I think I may need to rewrite that bit.

I wrote a piece on translating poetry for the soon-to-be-created Falstaff journal. Do please take a look. falstaffjournal.substack.com/p/tagore-in-tr…

@Camp4 "Society peaked when I was in my teens". Such a contrarian take. You fucking rebel. Never heard anything that fucking crazy before. I mean, ET died. Show some fucking respect.

One of my contrarian takes: Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since. It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies. “Excess meets innocence.” The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity. Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX. Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech: Mobile phones The internet Social media AI All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society. We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one. Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction. Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

@cenkuygur Old people die in falls all the time. Yeah, the more details you add, the fewer people will have died in that exact way. But dying in a fall in your 70s isn't suspicious.

Charlie Kirk's mentor just died in a freak pickleball accident. That's an incredibly strange coincidence. If you're going to say that's not weird, that there are tons of pickleball fatalities, you sound nuts. I don't know what happened but I don't think this is perfectly normal.

@ATabarrok The weirdest thing about this is that there are apparently professional cornhole players.

"Police have not explained how Webber, a quadruple amputee, was able to drive a car or fire a weapon."

@JDVance Any thoughts on your boss insulting Mueller?

Americans deserve to have their voices heard, and that starts with safe and secure elections. Pass the Save America Act NOW.

This idiot thinks I should agree with the Trump tweet because I made fun of Epstein. Total moron.

@Quarterwqzx @nntaleb Seriously though you're nuts.

@Quarterwqzx @nntaleb Ya got me. I'm against Jeffrey Epstein. Check and mate.

Trump on Muller's death: "I'm glad he's dead". De mortuis nihil nisi bene. Decent humans never speak ill of the dead. But we know that, aside from his inability to grasp war, Trump is not a decent human being.

@bendreyfuss Hey how's your relationship with your dad?

RIP Robert Mueller, the only fbi director to ever fail to stop both 9/11 and Jeffrey Epstein.

@joshuakopp15 @georgewrighster Bullshit. So many people who didn't cheer Kirk's murder also hate this. Stop lying.

@georgewrighster The people complaining about this cheered when Charlie Kirk was murdered on live tv

It doesn’t matter what political party you belong to. This is not ok. Don’t give me no what about… Right is right. Wrong is wrong. You know it.

@Quarterwqzx @nntaleb The fuck is wrong with you?

@nntaleb Nassim, if someone really tries to destroy you, are you going to forgive them? At what point does a human stop having an altruistic reaction even if someone dies?

@historigins Everyone gives Hoffman credit for this. The cabbie deserves some love too.

This scene in Midnight Cowboy (1969) was not scripted. The taxi was not supposed to appear, and Hoffman improvised one of cinema's most iconic lines.
