Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

@toddvs35 @caspolitically @Major_Mangoes Room temp IQ take. If everyone must be so concerned constantly about offending people due to common speech then what’s the point of living together? Nothing wrong with saying sit down boy to anyone regardless of color in a sports event. He didn’t drop a slur or some shit

@caspolitically @Major_Mangoes On an individual level, anyone of any race can experience racism On a systematic and historic level, white people haven’t dealt with prejudice or racism based solely on the colour of their skin I stopped replying to you because you said silly things.

@FlicksandFibs @HormuzLetter Uhh… what. We can track ships moving through the straight. Even after opening up Iran no one is going there to fill up. It’s all coming from the Omani side. Maybe 2-3 VLCC’s headed to China from Iran have left.

US Vice President JD Vance admits his and Trump's Iran MOU is only a tactical operation to "refill the world's oil economy" and "refill some stocks," not for peace, to then start the war again after the now 46 days are up.

No - once you decide to become responsible for helping sick people get drugs they need to stay alive (which was an excellent decision), you accept that if you stop that assistance, people will die. Musk - and his ridiculous supporters, like Rufo - want to avoid that fact.

The moral calculus here is insane. According to Kristof, the USA is responsible for every poor nation in the entire world. If an ambulance runs out of fuel in rural Liberia, that is our fault. The liberal has a pathological tension between the feelings of omnipotence and guilt.

@christopherrufo Teach a man to fish vs give a man a fish. US foreign aid isn’t helping these countries develop. It’s giving them a crutch instead saying don’t worry you don’t need to develop. Perhaps if people can’t feed themselves they should stop producing children they also can’t feed.

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

@HoneyPossumTac @KenKen69698 @william0nature @Nighttrekker3 Even if we assume every person in that 1.2-1.3% was an absolute ass kicker that worked the wrestlers (won’t be the case - exceptions exist) that still equates to wrestlers folding 98.7% ish of the general populace. At worst estimates it’s still 95%

@KenKen69698 @william0nature @Nighttrekker3 Submission wins are trending down in UFC because anti takedown techniques are evolving. Getting people to the ground is getting harder and resulting in a minority of victories today, unlike the majority it used to be.

Hugh Jackman reveals his brutal 4-step daily routine to get into superhero shape for Wolverine. ​"When I'm playing Wolverine, it takes about six months to get into shape, and it's a strict routine every single day" ​"It’s two and a half hours in the gym, split up, because at my age you can’t do it all at once without hurting yourself" "I have to eat around 5,000 to 6,000 calories a day. It is a lot of chicken, fish, and steamed vegetables with no salt" ​"You can't have any alcohol, no sugar, and absolutely no cheat meals. You have to be completely locked in for the entire six months" ​"It doesn't matter if you're tired, it doesn't matter if you're traveling. You get up at 4 AM and you do the work" ​"The hardest part isn’t actually the heavy lifting in the gym, it’s forcing yourself to eat that much clean food when you're already full"

@Sherrycx6 @CliffBillings @OpezIck @shipwreckedcrew Agreed. We need to not only fix demand (open borders), but the supply side too (deregulation/ zoning laws / tax incentives) to build more housing. Problem being many people who invested in homes as an asset will lose big if we open up the supply.

@PatientPadawan @CliffBillings @OpezIck @shipwreckedcrew Over the longer haul though, you're spot on that everything tends to rebalance higher with inflation. It’s why just pushing nominal wages or demand without fixing supply bottlenecks often ends up as a temporary sugar high rather than a lasting fix

@OpezIck @CliffBillings @shipwreckedcrew Influx of immigrants caused 2/3rds up to 100% of the surge in rental prices and listing prices for homes from 2021-2024. You forget that in aggregate the demographics we are speaking about are net tax drains. They cost more than they pay. So it’s a wash or net positive here too

@PatientPadawan @CliffBillings @shipwreckedcrew What happens after your 6-18 months and they are in the same position as before? Who are they going to blame? Which boogeyman? Communists? Antifa? You also forget, less people they can tax, less revenue for local government… you think property taxes are going down?

@CliffBillings @OpezIck @shipwreckedcrew Do you have any data or logic to back this claim or are you simply wish casting? Dispassionate analysis seems to indicate a large exodus of demand will cause a short term price reduction.

@CliffBillings @OpezIck @shipwreckedcrew Yes after enough time all prices go up due to inflation. I would imagine 6-18 months for the housing supply to readjust. And in that time people signing leases/mortgages will benefit until their terms are up so the short window of opportunity can have longer lasting effects

@OpezIck @shipwreckedcrew Getting rid of 40k people will have a near short term recalibrating of housing supply and therefore price… Less dollars chasing the same goods = price drop. Basic market forces at work. Rates/new builds/long term effects are harder to predict.

@shipwreckedcrew Getting rid of 40k people is not going all of the sudden lower mortgage rates, or lower construction costs, or change zoning regulations, or improve your credit… you are being played by the people who can actually influence rates, zoning and construction costs.

Misstating the facts is a convenient way to get clicks, but The Times has been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum for years. Here are just a few examples from as recently as yesterday🧵
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan

There are dozens of actual far-right extremists in the House GOP caucus, people who have said and done racist, corrupt, crazy things. And you’ve never heard of them. Because the Times and other establishment media outlets have never profiled them like this. The GOP gets a pass.

@PoliticalPunct1 @MarthaAhumuza Again you are assuming I’m an idiot or must be to be right leaning. If anyone espouses a point contrary to your own you other them and call for their expungement. That you cannot see you are the exact thing you believe yourself to be fighting against is ironic.

@braindance2020 @marcorandazza The gov doesn’t have an interest in single parent households which are a net tax drain. The government has a specific interest in the formation of family structures most likely to produce net tax payers. This used to be called marriage.

I don't disagree that Obergefell was the wrong reasoning... but I also don't see why it should be subject to a vote whether people get equality. Obergefell should have been 5 pages long, max. "Equal means equal, so the equal protection clause means that any two people can get married, regardless of their sex"
Josh Hammer@josh_hammer

Eleven years ago today, Justice Antonin Scalia dissented in Obergefell v. Hodges.
