@IAmJohnAles @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @adammocklerr @GeraldoRivera You're leaving Rivera out of your lucid assessment of characterology? He, the bombastic brigand of fidelity and honor to his every wife, shamed by his 100's of dalliances over 4 decades? His moral priapism dwarfs Morgan's pablum-strength, feckless pontificating.

@PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @adammocklerr @GeraldoRivera Piers… you’re a dick.

"Don't be a wise ass... you can be very obnoxious in your presentation!" Geraldo Rivera tells Adam Mockler to "stick to the substance", following his debate with Scott Jennings on the Iran War. 📺youtu.be/Z_K22QElzQk @piersmorgan | @adammocklerr | @GeraldoRivera

@RadioFreeTom Can we agree that Abbott and Costello were the apotheosis of all the renditions? youtu.be/8KpsUlvzbkk?si…

I don't care if I'm old and this is a joke from movie that fewer of the youngs have seen, I'm gonna keep using it

@fakehistoryhunt @DosRunas Yep. And climate and local resources had nothing to do with it either. The Aztecs were using Claude, and Europe was using Windows '95.

@DosRunas The ridiculous idea that Europeans used EXPENSIVE spices and herbs to cover up cheap meat and ate spoiled meat is nonsense. Europeans preserved meat through smoking, salting, drying, potting, pickling, cold storage, etc.

🌞✨ MIENTRAS LOS AZTECAS CONSERVABAN CARNE CON EL SOL… 🥩🌍 EN EUROPA HACÍAN ALGO MUY DISTINTO… ✨🪶 Imagina el sol de Anáhuac, ese fuego eterno del cosmos, descendiendo como un amante sobre la carne fresca. Los aztecas, sabios guardianes de la vida, la tendían al aire puro: sal cristalina del lago, chile rojo como sangre de la tierra, y el sol… ese padre radiante que deshidrataba, preservaba, transformaba la muerte en alimento eterno. Sin nevera, sin desperdicio. Armonía pura entre cuerpo humano y el mundo. Mientras tanto… en la Europa medieval, la podredumbre acechaba en las cocinas oscuras. La carne se corrompía bajo cielos húmedos y fríos. ¿Y qué hacían? Cubrían la carroña con montañas de especias traídas de Oriente: pimienta, clavo, canela… máscaras aromáticas para ocultar el hedor de la decadencia. Un engaño al paladar, un insulto a la existencia misma. Esto no es solo una anécdota de cocina. Es fenomenología viva de dos mundos: de un lado, el ser-en-el-mundo indígena, donde la técnica nace del diálogo respetuoso con la naturaleza; del otro, la alienación feudal, donde la supervivencia se disfraza de lujo imperial. Los aztecas no solo conservaban carne… conservaban dignidad, conocimiento ancestral, una forma de habitar la Tierra que el colonialismo quiso borrar. Pero el sol sigue brillando. Y la memoria también. ¿Sabías que? El ingenio prehispánico ya había resuelto lo que Europa ocultaba bajo especias. #ViralReels #SabiasQue #HistoriaReal #DecolonizaTuMente #AztecasVsEuropa #FenomenologiaDelAlimento #PueblosOriginarios #EducacionHumanista #Antiimperialismo #ExistenciaPrehispanica

@ClearTradeoffs $100 live mtt Borgata ~ '07. Final table (I cheat 😉). Heads up oop w/nice geezer (me geezer now). K high flush on river (unpaired board). I bet ~40% pot, calls. Ace high flush. Me: "Why didn't you raise?" "I didn't think you'd call." lol. He didn't know against tourney rules.

2019. $100/200 stakes. my first month in home games. athletes, hollywood types and all. coming off the toughest online games. here to back up the truck. easy. young hotshot punk bookie from miami in town and playing it. he's on molly. loud and loose. arrogant too. lil wayne concert the next day. asking out game girls. doesn't shut the fk up. turn brings flush. i have king high flush. he bets 10k into 10k. call. river bricks, he pots 30k into 30k. surely this is the type of aggro punk that bombs rivers with the ace blocker all the time. i smile. snap call. muck. ofc. he has it. "they always have it" adaptability is what differentiates greats from mediocre. lesson learned. no more bluff catching. *played that game for 2 years. made that same call every single time.

@mac_logo @MerriamWebster I don't know that they all travel at light speed.... that's kind of loping when it comes to interstellar distances. But if they do, it took Solo about 39 years for the Kessel run. And wherever he left from it'd be about 2700 years for them. 😀

@MerriamWebster Space and Time are not separate things. They only appear to be in a reference frame that isn't subject to massive gravity or velocities. And in Star Wars. All spacecraft travel at the speed of plot, units of whatever they need to be. 🤪MT4thBWT

FWIW: ‘parsec’ is a measure of distance, not time, but that doesn’t make the Millennium Falcon’s Kessel Run any less impressive.

@scarylawyerguy Something that beautiful grows in Joisey?? 😉

Quite pleased with this one.

@millsalice144 EsPECIally, when you TRYy, using it... with THE WALKen comma.

I'm a big advocate for the Oxford comma. I'm, also an advocate for, the, Shatner comma. You should, try it sometime. It really, makes your, sentences more, exciting!

@OhHowByronic @MbarkCherguia At the 3-second mark, we see her as-yet unadorned face. She's gorgeous, lovely. Then, demonstrating prodigious makeup skills, she ends up a simulacrum of idealized *beauty*. She's deeper than she knows now, and will likely attract someone who can't see that in her, or themself.

@MbarkCherguia this was fascinating!

Do men out there think this is catfishing?

@GangsterCinema @DreyfusJames Sexy Beast is a true horror film. Vampires jumping out of pumpkins while sucking the blood of wildebeests? No. Real horror is Ben's bravura work that claws your emotional entrails and yanks them out through your esophagus. And he owned Gandhi in '82. NB Ian, Ray, all the cast.

@DreyfusJames This is the funniest thing I've seen all year. I have to watch this film again HOLY SHIT 😂😂🤣

Was once working on a job where I had a wonderful ex-East End gangster driver called Paul. He told me that he & all his gangster associates thought that Ben Kingsley’s performance as Don was the best portrayal of a psychopathic criminal they’d ever seen. Sexy Beast. ‘2000

@Wildlaw406 @Molson_Hart And integration of civil penalties w/criminal codes. What use is a statute or clause like emoluments, with 0 teeth? Or for corporations' criminal liability(ies)? Tobacco execs? The Sacklers? DuPont? The Pinto. And a personal fave/horror, the Bhopal disaster; Union Carbide-Dow.

@Molson_Hart I think this all the time. We need a nearly complete rewrite of the legal code. Way overcomplicated.

The US presidential pardon system needs change. The President can pardon anyone for any federal crime. And (recent change), the President is immune from prosecution for official acts, including pardons. So if you funnel enough money to the President's campaign without a written agreement in exchange for a pardon, you can get off for any crime AND the President can't be held accountable for that. Frankly, I don't even understand why we have a pardon system to begin with. Makes more sense to do it through appeals. There are 200,000 pages of federal law. We need to start over. Incorporate artificial intelligence into law and cut down tremendously the amount of law. Countless obvious ways to do this, but... No one has a combination of the care for the country combined with the balls to do anything about it.

@TheStingisBack Great film. Sorta like Seven Psychopaths. Tragically underappreciated. Have you seen "Swept Away" (by an unusual destiny in the blue sea of August -- what a title)? Super intense allegory on 70's Italy, class struggle, and of course, sex. Check it out. You'll be swept.....

My case for Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995) A criminally underrated 90s gem. Andy Garcia’s weary charisma, a killer supporting cast, quotable dialogue, and an off-the-leash Walken. Stylish, strange, and way better than its rep.

@ClearTradeoffs Hidden meaning? "Sans" is French for "without". So you ended up "Without One" ... with everything. Zen achieved. Bet the Som Tum was otherworldly.

2008 was a rough year. poker was good, everything else wasn't. so i booked a solo reset. private villa in an exclusive resort in thailand. 10 days. massages, meditation, strictly no poker. uninstalled everything before i left. made a promise to myself. day 2, a buddy texts. needs $10k on betfair poker. no transfers or crypto back then, so we do it the old way. sit, dump chips, done. reinstalled the software for a minute. handled it. gg. as i'm closing the lobby, i see him. sansone. notorious italian whale. $20k sitting alone at 100/200. if you were around back then, you know sansone. but i'm in thailand for a reason. man on a mission to rejuvenate. the iron willpower that built me into a killer in poker surely isn't flinching for one italian whale. next thing i know, i'm posting the blind. 20 minutes later i'm stuck $20k. normally whatever. this time my head's spinning. i wasn't even supposed to be here. he runs it up to $100k. then disappears. the next 8 days of my retreat were spent at the dining table of the villa, staring at the laptop, waiting for him to come back. meditation's overrated anyway.

@OhHowByronic Thanks for the uplifting talk, Professor Calhoun. Is it Professor Michel's turn yet? All together now: youtu.be/I_CE7GqqrvY?t=9

Pay no attention to me. I'm a ray of fucking sunshine and optimism. Fuck. We are fucking awful as a species. The bunch of fucking fucks. This is my TED talk about humanity, or what's left of it.

@JoshMalina So, you don't have a cat?

The proper use of the word “purview ” does not fall within my circle of thingies that I do.

@karenmitchell__ @civeljahim @Theholisticpsyc Malignant narcissism, or NPD with APD if you wish, is the most extreme diagnosis in psychiatry. To state that millions, repeat, your words, Millions, of parents are thus afflicted is irresponsible exaggeration and unprofessional. Please reconsider your verbiage.

@civeljahim @Theholisticpsyc With some mental health professionals, that is the reason for the misinformation. With others, there is a more insidious reason for the misinformation.

Yet again, misleading & inaccurate. Millions of parents are abusive because they are malignant narcissists, psychopaths. They are acutely abusive, controlling, demeaning, sadistic & willing to destroy their own child. Sadly, the red flags are adding up with @Theholisticpsyc

@DannyDeraney Thanks, Danny. Never saw this one... does magic like this still exist in a new form these days? Me no know.

Happy 93rd birthday Carol Burnett!! One of the all time great clips from 1977. A lady asks Carol if the somebody in the audience is Maude (Bea Arthur). But what happens next is an all time classic. 😂😂

@IAmJohnAles @WUTangKids He's following the rules and tasks listed on the application to become Mel Gibson's 3rd butler.

@WUTangKids Cocaine Jesus Just working on the third act.

Wtf is this dude training for 🤣

@GmanPoker @DougPolkVids You guys are admirable; here mocking yourselves ascerbicly. If you can't make fun of yourself... that's a kind of death. Doug, a dad who says they've done everything right, is delusional. Your integrity has never wavered, irrespective of snark. 991/1 you're a loving, active dad.

@DougPolkVids People just dont get it. It’s not about the money. We’re out here saving lives—one degen gambling story and 10 gold coins at a time.

@Teatank01 check dms, amigo

A guy with no arms and no legs is lying on a beach. Then this beautiful, voluptuous blonde comes walking by, sees the guy and starts pitying him. So she walks up to him and asks him. "Would you like a kiss?" The guy looks up and says a bit hesitantly "Um… yes!" So the woman bends down and the two of them make out for a long while. Then the woman asks again. "And would you like me to… stroke your balls?" The guy immediately perks up and says. "Yes, please!" So the blonde starts stroking his family jewels and in no time, he gets a hard-on. The woman smiles and asks. "And have you ever been fucked?" Sensing some good times coming, the guy replies: "No!" The blonde laughs and says. "Well, you will be, the high tide’s coming."

@micyoung75 Jibes completely with McKenzie's and his dissolution. She is the embodiment of feeling, compassion, and proportionality; she donates billions to worthy, underfunded charities, eschewing publicity.

Noah Hawley attended Jeff Bezos's private Campfire retreat in 2018. His wife broke her wrist. He told Bezos directly - not as complaint, just as human information from one husband and father to another. Bezos looked horrified, an aide materialized instantly, and he was whisked away. No "I'm so sorry." No "do you need anything." Just escape. Hawley's thesis in The Atlantic is not that the ultra-wealthy are evil. It is something more precise and more unsettling: that moral reasoning develops through consequences, and the environment of extreme wealth systematically removes consequences from a person's life. When you can buy your way out of any mistake, fire anyone who disagrees with you, and exist in a social circle entirely composed of people who need something from you - the basic mechanism by which humans learn that other people are real goes dark. This is different from classic narcissism, which typically masks insecurity. What Hawley is describing is something rarer: a self-definition in which the individual has genuinely grown to the size of the universe and the universe has contracted to fit. Elon Musk calling empathy "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." Trump asked about checks on his power saying the only thing that could stop him was his own morality. Peter Thiel concluding that freedom and democracy are incompatible. These are not poses. They are the logical endpoint of a psychology shaped by years of operating in a world that never pushed back. The Bezos encounter is the piece's sharpest detail because it is so small. He was not cruel. He was not contemptuous. He simply could not locate, in that moment, the impulse to respond like a person who understood that another person's wrist hurt.
