@mattforney Actually when you're really infatuated with a lover that's something you do

I can't have sex with your novels or put my penis in your college degree
Rebekah Jones@GeoRebekah
Men think this is an improvement. MacKenzie Scott, Princeton graduate, writing novels at age six, studied under Toni Morrison, founded Amazon, and one of the biggest philanthropists in the history of humanity. Versus.. whatever the fuck this is.

@ChrisKelly82003 @foreverharshed @malmesburyman @johnkonrad He isn’t jeopardizing. You are a retard who like every other liberal blindly believing whatever your mind masters in the media tell you.

You really get a sense from watching this guy why Truman found Oppenheimer so repugnant.

🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “We are so close to these models reaching the level of human intelligence, and yet there doesn't seem to be a wider recognition in society of what's about to happen … There hasn't been a public awareness of the risks.”
English
@foreverharshed @malmesburyman @johnkonrad Would a fraud jeopardise his business to protect people from government surveillance and autonomous killer drones
English
@malmesburyman @johnkonrad Oppenheimer was at least smart. This guy is such a spectacular fraud it’s stunning.
English
@eseaFranny @malmesburyman This guy's like someone in 1890s who thinks cars are never going to go faster than 5mph
English
the irony is the isnt "wider recognition" because its getting more recognition then it deserves right now. Of course AI companies will say they made a society changing AI, but the reality of it and the people use it everyday we see the issues and its not close to doing what this guy claims it can do.

@meltalkschels Used to differentiate religious-political fundamentalists from ordinary Muslims. Not difficult surely?

i am once again asking what the fuck is an “Islamist”

Tony Blair: We must end left’s unholy alliance with the Islamists

@NathanpmYoung What a wildly ignorant post good Lord. Before colonialism most of Africa was stone age; most of Asia was highly advanced

Reading Ford’s The Good Soldier for the first time. Remarkable. Can’t quite believe that I hadn’t got to it before.
English
@JoePostingg Not even remotely true. He was nuts & evil from the day he came down the escalator, and long before.

He was basically a normal Republican until January 6th, but his second term has been like one million times crazier than anything since the civil war.
drew@ImNotOwned
He’s so obviously the worst president in American history. Don’t try to be cute and act like he’s a normal Republican.
English
@SoveyX Sexy, but the whole scene is vapid, unoriginal, toxic & braindead
English
@benclarkson The Crestomanci books obviously a (very) strong influence. Might even be a lawsuit these days
English
Rowling stole the idea for a Wizard school, a gifted child who has a facial scar, and the protagonist pursuing their shadow from A Wizard of Earthsea - and I refuse to shut up about it.
Earthsea then pivots to refute the hero's quest and throw away Wizards as incel losers.

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

@arisroussinos T.S.Eliot also mourned that D.H.Lawrence had not had "an education", i.e. Oxbridge.
English
The strange thing in this is that, apart from being the better writer, Joyce was also objectively better educated than Woolf
Bret van den Brink@BretVDB
Virginia Woolf’s diary entries on James Joyce’s Ulysses: “An illiterate, underbred book it seems to me; the book of a self taught working man, and we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, and ultimately nauseating. … I finished ‘Ulysses’ and think it is a misfire. Genius it has, I think; but of the inferior water. The book is diffuse. It is brackish. It is pretentious. It is underbred, not only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense. A first-rate writer, I mean, respects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts.”
English
@AlexanderPayton You seem very sure of yourself. Any sensible nation would not believe it possible, yet take quiet preventive steps.

No one who believes the United States would have annexed Greenland by force belongs anywhere near power. Complete inability to understand reality. The fact that this was what the Europeans thought was going to happen should set off alarm bells.
Mike Levin@MikeLevin
This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America. Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world. bbc.com/news/articles/…

in 1646, a mysterious austrian man named johannes gumpp created this self-portrait and then disappeared from history. he painted himself from behind while looking in the mirror, creating 3 different perspectives on a single canvas. it was his only work; nothing is known about him
English
@LatFilosof *if* the commenter used the word natural in the sense you took, then yes. But that wasn't their main point anyway.
English
@ChrisKelly82003 The point I’m addressing is that religion =\= natural and the research is on my side on this.
English
This is false and I really wish people stopped saying this.
🧵 Why religion is natural (and atheism isn’t the ”default”)
Mwenja 👑@MwenjaMuhoro
Children are born atheists. They don’t believe in gods until someone teaches them. Religious belief isn’t natural, it’s indoctrinated.
English
@LatFilosof This is not in any way a refutation of the central point. Children do indeed need to be taught there is a god. Such belief is cultural, not innate. It is not difficult to imagine a world where belief is innate, should a creator have wished it.

@cafreiman 1) do you believe that ethnic or religious communities can have traits? 2) do you think it possible that a person might dislike some such trait, without being a hateful person? 3) do you admire and practice honesty about that?
English
Actually the reason why Dahl is considered antisemitic is because he made comments like these:
Burton K. Wheeler Democrat 🇨🇦🇺🇲🇲🇽@joevertonwindow
The man risked his life as a RAF fighter pilot in WWII only be slandered as an "antisemite" because he dared to criticize Israel's conduct in Lebanon.

Wolf Hall, man……everyone should be talking about it, every day.
It should be like the book of Kells and every house has a copy and everyone turns a new page every day.
English
@Frank_Connolly_ The Troubles were well underway by then, the IRA agitating, peaceful protest mocked, undermined, & intimidated to the sidelines. Think what protest did under Gandhi, under MLK. The Troubles were a horror, not to be glibly justified in retrospect.
English
@ChrisKelly82003 ''That peaceful protest was not given a chance is another.''
They shot 14 of us dead for marching peacefully for the right to vote...

Why do free staters think 1920s RA good, 1970s-1990s RA bad?
I need serious and sincere answers to this question from actual free staters/west brits/jackeens.
