@ClarkeMicah @DuziMagwaza It’s not so much the anti-theism but rather he was a compelling and fascinating intellectual whom people admire.
English
Alas, it is so, .@duzimagwaza,and I feel for you, having to admit it. But most of my late brother's admirers would forgive him anything because of his militant ant-theism, and that's a fascinating fact. Why do they so much want there not to be a God?

I have to admit that when it comes to foreign policy, Peter Hitchens is miles ahead of his late brother.

Man, the longer version is even worse.
Someone needs to take those kids away from that psychopath.

YIKES! Footage from 2023 appears to show Taylor Frankie Paul repeatedly attacking Dakota Mortensen. In the clip, Taylor grabs a metal barstool and throws it at Dakota. He yells, “your daughter is right here,” but she continues, throwing two more stools. Moments later, a child can be heard crying from the couch. According to the police report, a 5 year old girl was struck and later had a “goose egg” on her head. Source: TMZ #SLOMW

Last time I was in South Carolina, I looked around the bar at 1AM and everyone had golf balls for eyes. Rich, poor, black, white, they were ALL on meth.

@CollapseAnime Yes that stacks up. Vaguely recall it looking way cooler than it actually was

@AltmanGhost it was edutainment game where you guessed where she was based on clues related to countries. It sucked.

Waiting for @PiersUncensored and the rest of the conservative clown crew to start obsessively talking about how disgusting and deplorable this behavior is...

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️
Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@ggreenwald And she made a documentary about him! Travels with George

Also, most Americans -- and certainly most Democrats -- had no idea this was true at the time, but Nancy Pelosi and George W. Bush were very close friends.
So much so that Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra, said Bush was like a "father figure" to her:

Alexandra Pelosi on how George W. Bush is a "father figure," a "source of support," and a "great friend" of her mother's despite him having lied the US into Iraq

This 2008 Trump interview about Nancy Pelosi applies to him now, but is also true:
Dems ran in 2006 by promising to de-fund the Iraq War.
Dems won, Pelosi become Speaker, and she immediately said they wouldn't: they wanted the Iraq War to contine to help them win in 2008.

@nmeoftheright @RightWingWatch Obviously, they weren’t the driving impulse which led to its implementation in America. They were in fact driving movements in abolition

@AltmanGhost @RightWingWatch Certain other Christian groups played a large role in the pro-slavery movement.
Now what?

Christian nationalist pseudo-historian Tim Barton claims that you can pick any atrocity in American history—from the Salem witch trials to Indian removal to slavery—and "without exception, the way it ended is because Christians, churches, and pastors got involved and led the opposition."

The word "psychedelic" was invented during a poetry battle.
Aldous Huxley proposed "phanerothyme" with the line:
"To make this mundane world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme."
Psychiatrist Humphry Osmond countered:
"To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic."
Osmond won. He debuted the word at the New York Academy of Sciences in 1957.
We almost ended up calling them "phanerothymes."

@voiceoffcamera @LilithLovett @BDNTWLGIO Congress controls the purse. Clinton had surplus bc he worked with Republican house

Every Republican in office for the past 50+ years has directly caused a recession and yet half of the country are still under the delusion that they're somehow good for the economy.

Has you ever publicly disclosed what the fellowship was for? What kind of “resources” did they provide? Why did they sponsor you? What were they hoping to get out of it?
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
I’ve reported on this topic for a decade for NYT, WaPo, etc. To claim I’m receiving “unknown guidance” from a billionaire I’ve never interacted w is insane. The journalism fellowship I did last year is transparently funded, granted full editorial independence. It’s on the website

@mattyglesias The problem with Gallego is that he’s kind of a moron
English
Not what my op-ed today was about but an interesting sub-finding of the paper is that Newsom is seen as very left-wing, Vance seen as more extreme than Trump.
Most mod-coded Dems are Cuban, Beshear, Gallego, Shapiro.
