@DocCroc420 @DrewPavlou You tried redback or mongrels?

@ClemFandango500 @DrewPavlou I only wear their gumboots, they're made in Tasmania.

RM Williams sells crocodile leather Craftsman boots for $5,500 Absolute peak of hyper-Australian excellence One day I will know I’ve made it to the big leagues when I can get a pair of these

@DocCroc420 @DrewPavlou They’re made in Asia now mate

@DrewPavlou Buy some Blundstones. Save $5,300 and support Tasmania

@mags_mclaugh Hb “could care less”

I get real peeved off when someone conflates the word “fewer” with the word “less”… it’s happening more and more frequently these days

@rorysutherland @Notsotweet1 You must agree that their elevated social status is both perverse and laughable, but an undeniable product of the confused messaging of the naughties. Just imagine what we will be seeing in 10, 15 years. There is naturally a time delay at play

@Notsotweet1 I don't dismiss the problem they are trying to address. Just the formulaic nature of the solution.

All manosphere influencers seem to think they have worked out masculinity from first principles, free of social norms. But if you transplanted them to the last century, people would have assumed they were bizarrely vain. You didn't see DI Burnside on The Bill going to a gym unless it was to arrest the proprietor.

@_andrewkerr_ It really is like this. If it’s said with sufficient gravitas, the point may land and the moral victory will be secured

Britain's strictest headmistress demands the Strait of Hormuz is opened immediately.

@DylanoA4 @lovedropx Based in Pakistan…

@lovedropx Maybe if you actually read books you'd have some original posts x.com/DylanoA4/statu…

Simone Weil, what a line

@rorysutherland It’s less of a pejorative and more a nickname

Of all national insults, "Limey" has to be the silliest. It is insulting someone for belonging to a group that prefers to avoid dying from scurvy.

@rationalaussie Your arrogance is frankly staggering

The bigger question here - and the real problem - is why does it take 5 years to become an electrician? You're seriously gonna tell me the smartest white collar workers (soon to be unemployed) are effectively prohibited from getting employed as a lucrative tradesperson during the final period where human employment even matters, because of regulations? It's insane. A smart person could turbo charge this in 6 months. The West needs fast-track trades programs.

@LupineLives HAVE

I should of done PPE 😢

@WilliamClouston @AndrewGold_ok @SDPhq These long form pods really are a good way to expose what lies beneath. Would have no hesitation in voting for you following this reasoned, considered position. Thank you for refraining from the diatribe of rhetoric that tempts most other politicians

When @AndrewGold_ok invited me on Heretics I didn’t anticipate we’d spend so much of the interview talking about truth - the need to be honest about evidence. It’s vital but progressives struggle… ⬇️ (Link to full interview below) @SDPhq

@ronin21btc Lidl steak does not belong here

What in the turkey teeth, love island, bmw on finance, sliders and tracksuit on a plane, hair transplant, Lidl steak, grey house, home bargains energy drink is that??

@ToKTeacher You’re being obtuse. Teaching how to think in this context isnt about the structure of thought and you know it. It’s simply understanding that a narrative, no matter how respected its source, can be just that. Current curriculum insists on binary thinking

“Schools should teach students how to think, not what to think.” Who do you think will be teaching them “how to think”? Who will design and deliver the “thinking curriculum”? Isn’t it those same people and institutions you often claim are terrible at thinking themselves?

@hubermanlab @HealthyGamerGG This guy gives 10 min explanations of basic concepts that we all know and does mic drops as if it were groundbreaking stuff. So so many podcast guests do this and it drives me mad.

Talking about goals and plans can short circuit motivation and throughput. But talking about trauma (in a clinical setting actually does lead to symptom improvement. @HealthyGamerGG Dr K on the Huberman Lab podcast out now.

@ClarkeMicah @CapelLofft Haven’t seen quality discourse in politics in my lifetime (born 90s). Haven’t ever ceased to be surprised by the desperate lack of nuance in literally any given subject. Hardly a surprising result of career politicians and lawyers

.@capellofft. You really shouldn't need to have to say this. The state of public debate in this country is what you might expect in a banana republic with a 20% literacy rate. And we don't even have any bananas

@criprights Muzzles? AKA censor. Usual deplorable tactics from the left - silence all those who do not fall in line

Unless Australia muzzles politicians like Ralph Babet & Pauline Hanson, we are at risk of an imminent domestic racism-fueled terror attack. Right now, there should be a social responsibility among politicians to speak responsibly instead of using poisonous populist rhetoric.

@prttyvanilla @SO3_Clausewitz In which year do you think the “great” should have been removed from the title? When did it cross the rubicon

funny to get this tweet on my TL bc I opened the app to post about how I think that Britain, in my lifetime, was perhaps never great. I was thinking over so many topics, considering when and where the problems started, and ultimately all I can say is that we act like the downfall is recent—sure it’s in a terrible state rn—but you go “as far back” as the 60s and you find some questionable things… the fake TV license vans, for one hahaha. I’m young! & I haven’t lived in England for years! But whilst I’d love to say “it was greater in my childhood”, and I feel that way, I don’t actually think it is true://

“Until August 1914 a sensible, law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he liked and as he liked. He had no official number or identity card. He could travel abroad or leave his country for ever without a passport or any sort of official permission. He could exchange his money for any other currency without restriction or limit. He could buy goods from any country in the world on the same terms as he bought goods at home. For that matter, a foreigner could spend his life in this country without permit and without informing the police.” - AJP Taylor

@romanhelmetguy Then you frankly do not understand stoicism

Stoicism is popular because apathy is the sickness of our age and stoicism glorifies it. Stoicism is cope for living in a dying society. Stoicism is managed decline. You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive.

@Tom_Rowsell To what end?

@Steve_Laws_ “Our girls”

Nobody knows just how many of our girls have been raped by Pakistani rape gangs. Not all of them have been reported. It's still happening right now. This is a holocaust.

@cfdownes_ I hope this is your penmanship, not AI influenced, it is beautifully written. Perhaps your trouble was realised by your ego having an expectation of outcome. The goal is not enlightenment; we are not the Buddha. The goal is simply living free from the prison of your desire

“Self-discipline lifted me out of the malaise of licentiousness for a time, but eventually it too ran dry as a source of meaning. At the far end of this way of life was not spiritual enlightenment, but an emptiness not unlike that which follows a life of hedonism. They are two sides of the same coin. They exist on the same continuum because both ultimately serve the same fallible master: the self.” Read my debut in @CatholicHerald 👇🏻
