It occurs to me that the following 3 quotes are foundational to being a man, and might serve as the basis for raising one.

@guyfelicella You have a failed country. It's like Detroit or any other woke city in the US- Failed policies leading to misery. Worry less about us, fix your own problems.

Let's be clear: Canadians don't hate America. What we hate is the chaos, division, and authoritarian behaviour coming from the person currently occupying the White House. Trump is holding the world hostage.

🚨 MERCEDES JUST PUT A MOTOR ONLY 8 CM THICK INTO A CAR THAT CAN HIT 62 MPH IN 2.1 SECONDS. Instead of conventional radial flux motors, Mercedes is betting big on axial flux technology. In these motors, the electromagnetic force flows parallel to the axle, allowing two magnetic rotors to sandwich a central stator in a flat, disc-like layout. The result is dramatically smaller and more powerful. The front motor in the new all-electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe is just 9 cm wide. The rear motors are even thinner at roughly 8 cm each. Despite their tiny size, they help launch the heavy performance car from 0-62 mph in just 2.1 seconds, with a top speed of up to 186 mph. Why this matters: • Axial flux motors are significantly more power-dense and can be up to 50% lighter than traditional designs • Their extreme thinness frees up packaging space in the vehicle for better weight distribution, aerodynamics, or interior room • Mercedes acquired YASA in 2021 and has spent years developing the complex manufacturing processes needed to build them at scale • The technology is debuting in a high-performance AMG model, showing Mercedes is serious about using it in its most demanding cars The deeper implication: While most of the EV conversation focuses on batteries and software, the electric motor itself is undergoing a quiet revolution. Axial flux designs have long been seen as theoretically superior but extremely difficult to manufacture at scale. By solving the production challenges and putting these motors into a real high-performance car, Mercedes is pushing the entire industry forward. The next generation of electric performance cars may not just have bigger batteries they may have fundamentally better motors. We’re watching the physical hardware of EVs evolve as dramatically as the software has. How important do you think motor technology (rather than just battery size) will be for the future of electric performance cars?

@Rally_Virginia Fast forward 10 years.... there is a housing shortage. These idiots suggest passing laws to fix it...

So let me get this straight… if your tenant doesn’t pay their rent, you can’t evict them…‼️ But you still have to pay taxes on the property⁉️ Newsflash🚨: the “affordability” problem is created in part by high taxes in the first place.

@TheBritLad Redistribute the 2nd parachute into 3 equal pieces and give eaxh their fair share.

You’re on a plane and it’s about to go down, THERE IS ONLY TWO parachutes. You keep one for yourself. Who gets the second parachute?

@Gentleman_Ways C, always

When invited to someone's home for a social event, it’s often better not to arrive exactly at the start time. It gives the host a little more time to tie up loose ends before guests arrive. What do you tend to do? A) Arrive early B) Arrive exactly on time C) Arrive a little late

@nylawho1 Exercise to failure.... guessing you haven't tried it.

I’m actually crying this is so fkn funny

@MarkWarner Explain Bass getting no mail in votes vs the unknown that lost her own district that got all the mail in votes???? Sure.

We need a coordinated strategy to protect our democracy. I’m teaming up with other senators, legal experts, and leaders in the election security space to protect our democracy from Trump’s efforts to subvert our elections.

@JohnJHarwood "Advocate of decency..." your slip is showing. I have 3 graduate degrees, I am highly credentialed in your world view. I have no problem with someone that does not have multiple degrees making decisions. If you do, that says more about you than him.

New Yorkers definitely want a plumber from Oklahoma telling them what to do

@MittRomney Aged like milk.... You are the treasonous bastard.

Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.

@bourscheid Hey dude how many people are there in the world? Call it 8 Billion. So, enough money to give everyone about $125 Math, huh, weird.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

@BrandiKruse @ADFLegal Thank God I'm not the father of that girl.

NEW: Prosecutors say they will not charge trans wrestler with alleged sexual assault of Kallie Keeler because of "case law concerning consent in athletic contests." If only the state of Washington had given Kallie the option to consent to being touched by a male.

@dv_williamson @BrandiKruse @ADFLegal How much kiddie porn do you consume?

Please stop. I've seen the video posted decades of times over the last months or so. It looks like sloppy wrestling, but this "penetration" business is ambitious. It is ambitious given the competitors are wearing skin-tight wrestling suits. How does one manage to penetrate? Further, the video reveals a maneuver that looks more like a persistently failed attempt to execute a half-Nelson. A half-Nelson could turn the opponent on to her back and give the wrestler a chance of securing a pin. Deploying one's arm as a lever between an opponents legs is something that will occur in any given wrestling match.

My partner had his vote stolen. He went to vote in person, and he was told he had already voted by mail. The thing that "never happens" did. One anecdote, true. In LA all those votes by mail, none for Bass, none for Pratt... nearly all for the person that conceded and lost her own district. Sure. No way, you, your neighbor, anybody believes that is legit. Zero chance.

@AnthonyM92311 @mtaibbi I can vote in person or I can vote by mail. Neither is cheating. I also know people who insist on going inside a bank because they don’t trust ATMs.

Because I think people should vote in person? Which con men benefit from in-person voting?

@WSJ Now add this: x.com/bjornlomborg/s…

After pushing immigration as an economic cure-all, the West is now questioning its benefits. Switzerland is at the vanguard. on.wsj.com/4445Ab3

@CA_Dem FFS, stop stealing oxygen from the rest of us. But, the plants appreciate you.

You’re not allowed to watch the World Cup if you’ve ever voted against immigration.

@Architectolder Like wash for sure

To lime wash or not to lime wash, that is the question.

@PatrickCorrigan No one cares if you call them racist anymore. At this point it is nearly a badge of Honor.

Northern Ireland does not have an ‘immigration problem’. We have a racism problem.

@JohnCornyn Tone deaf. The intern running this account has a room temperature IQ.

Grifter

@GerryAdamsSF No one cares if you call them racist anymore.

Last nights incident in Belfast is no excuse for tonights rascist attacks. Rascists are exploiting mostly young people without thought for the consequences. People deserve better. Say no to rascism.

@WallStreetApes Eminent Domain and Civil Asset Forfeiture are badly abused. Need major, major reform.

Arizona State University filed to use eminent domain to steal a 124 year old Phoenix home from a senior homeowner The man who owns it is a 89 year old senior citizen who’s owned the home for 50 years ASU says they need the land for their downtown health campus ASU made multiple purchase offers, they’ve offered up to $850,000 for the home. The homeowner keeps refusing. So now they plan to just take the home with eminent domain If eminent domain goes through he’ll be forced to accept the appraisal price
