@manysuchcases "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." -- TRAs trying to change the definition of "gay men".

@redsteeze Trump jokes about running for a 3rd term and there's graphite on the roof of the NY Times building. Kamala drunkenly proposes dumping the EC, no reaction

@AlexanderPayton Imagine the reaction from the environmental nut cases if a new data center built a nuclear plant to provide their own power. They'd just need to grow GMO crops near the cooling towers and the greens would go insane.

We owe everything to the fact we defeated the fracking hysteria. We need to defeat the data center hysteria. We need to raise the nuclear power hysteria from the dead, beat its ass, and kill it again. This is our cheat code for growth and domination for the century.

You all simply do not understand how bad things could have been. I promise. Even if you agree with me, you haven’t fully internalized it. We would be like the UK. We would be struggling with zero income growth since 2007. The median income would be $50k instead of nearly $100k.

Sauerkraut chocolate cake (though it's thinner like a brownie but not as dense) Not bad. Probably needs more butter (and a smaller pan)

@davidharsanyi Lesson learned from Stephen Glass: don't provide any details that can be checked (and refuted).

These statements just scream guilt. Read this closely and you'll understand that they have zero corroboration for any of the actual claims. In the story of the 23 year old woman, for example, Kristof conveniently fails to provide a single fact that would allow any follow-up investigation. No place or time or name or reason for detainment. This should be a glaring red flag for any editor. And if corroboration of the events already exists in the public record, why the anonymity and a complete lack of detail? Now, that's just dealing with the existence of the accuser, not even her claims. What part of the dog rape story was fact checked? It's so nonsensical that any real editor would have a million questions. And the named accusers in the "opinion" piece-- I notice they stressed this to wrongly insinuate that the basic ethical guidelines for reporting are different -- are violent activists (and an accused sex pest and crank with zero connections to any of this other than spreading conspiracies.) Failing to give that context or possible motivation is another huge red flag, as any real editor knows, as well. I doubt even the Times would have published something so incredibly shoddy if it wasn't written by a big-name columnist aiming at the left's favorite target (tho, who knows these days?). It doesn't meet the minimal standard of ethical journalism. Probably because most, or all of it, is a lie.

ah but the new regression ending does work better at showing star wars as an endless cyclical nightmare where nothing ever changes

The original ending is better because it shows Anakin as spiritually redeemed. That's the man he would've been if he didn't turn to darkness. The new ending shows regression. Anakin now reverts back to who he was before becoming Darth Vader, who was still not a good person
☀️AliquisNovus☀️@PalmyrPar

If you dislike this change, you’re a permanently Gen X nostalgiabrained doofus. It’s so obviously better to have the protagonist of his own entire trilogy return in this meaningful scene than for it to be Some Guy he never even aged into before becoming Vader.

From the team that brought you “Why is Snow White Latina?,” “Why are there Black people in ‘The Rings of Power’?,” and “Star Wars has gone woke” comes the latest online onslaught against the diverse cast of “The Odyssey.” These culture warriors have been led to battle by their own personal Agamemnon, Elon Musk.
