@David_J_Bier Wow.

@RealLiveAxel 100 million non-whites.

To be clear, DHS's 100 million deportations ethnic cleansing agenda is spreading throughout the right-wing echo chamber as it intended. It is only a matter of time before this extremism becomes standard rhetoric for GOP candidates.

@nytimes This is the kind of inter-agency cooperation that DHS was founded to promote.

Star Trek through the years- TOS: “Hey, this really diverse group of people is really good at their jobs. It’s something to aspire to.” TNG/VOY/DS9: “Hey, this really diverse group of people, which even includes old enemies, is really good at their jobs. It’s something to aspire to.” ENT: “These people that are brand new at this job are good at it, and they’re good at getting a diverse group of people to work together to do it. It’s something to aspire to.” NuTrek: “This group of idiots is really diverse, and that’s okay, because they’re so diverse!” Can we please understand why one of these is being rejected by fans of the franchise?

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@nytimes LOL

@sleepy_devo @Sargon_of_Akkad There’s no such thing as a trans person. The entire category was made up by radical activists about five minutes ago.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Describe a possible lifestyle change that would treat a person's gender dysphoria without them transitioning

i'm actually ok with under 18s going on hormones if they're strictly supervised by a not-ideologically-captured doctor who recognizes that there is actually a rare but genuine need for them. i'm not ok with the total destruction of gatekeeping the trans activists want.

@djairrick @chadfelixg I would rather have nothing than Discovery and SFA.

This is how dumb these guys are... with this show failing they most likely will NOT make anymore Star Trek TV for a long time... you guys did this to yourselves... so things like Strange New Worlds wont happen if you dont let other things on the menu

@adnanbelushi @triggerpod @michaelmalice Why are you not?

@triggerpod @michaelmalice Why is he wearing a Kim Jong Un uniform?

@murph70235 @RepOgles Yeah, and we’re still dealing with the mafia to this day.

@RepOgles Same said about italians 120 years ago.

Allowing newcomers from famously corrupt countries to live in America produces famously corrupt results. Repeal Hart-Celler.

P-hacking is bad because you're giving a positive signal to something that is almost certainly false. You're actively polluting the scientific literature with mirages. A null result isn't a failed experiment. An experiment is never a failure if it is designed and executed well. Publishing null results actively helps the scientific community by narrowing the pool of plausible alternatives to test. It makes discovering what's actually true easier.

@memeticsisyphus Thoughtlessness and ignorance are not virtuous.

Good character is virtue made habit.

@allie__voss You do it because you’re retarded. You’re burning tokens, electricity, and processor cycles for literally no reason.

I say thank you AI not because it is human, but because I am

Economic progress isn't just about earning more; it's about how much of your income is left over after covering the basics. In 1929: the average American spent 55% of disposable income on food, clothing, housing & other essentials. In 2024, that was 32%.

Muslim aviation enthusiasts boarded flights Tuesday morning for what could've been normal day trips to Washington D.C., Virginia and New York in the abnormally warm September weather. But in less than a few hours, their lives would drastically change as their planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the ground in rural Pennsylvania. Here's what we know so far.

Which U.S. state is the smartest? Which one tops the health metrics? Which one has the best handle on crime? Let's start with smarts. New Hampshire clocks in with the highest mean IQ!

@NBCNewYork Holy shit, this might be the most disingenuous headline I’ve ever seen.

Jazz is to music as IPA is to beer. No, I will not elaborate.

I instantly lose respect for anyone who says BCE and CE instead of BC and AD.
