@MaskedPiroot @mattkibbe Aristocrats were not uniform in thought and exercise of power. The concept of noblesse oblige was considered a virtue. Tolstoy wrote brilliantly in Master and Man of a higher duty than self. I like Atlas Shrugged, but it relies on enlightened self interest as an end and a means.

@paleoludic @madeofmistak3 Good call

@DavidLandrum6 @madeofmistak3 i like how it shows how he grows up to be donnie darko, like the phantom menace poster

@amuse @yarotrof ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Trump’s warning for NATO countries not spending enough on defense was seen as offensive, but it worked. You’re all building your defenses (except the Spanish). His warning for Greenland caused Denmark to commit $20 billion to Arctic security up from zero. Also his concessions resulted in approval for a US special forces base on the southern tip of Greenland as well as a third deep water naval base. He turned the world’s largest island from a point of weakness to the first line of defense for North America.

Trump’s claim on Greenland — reiterated Monday - means that the transatlantic relationship will never be the same again, something we already see with the European refusal to get involved in the war on Iran. “This will never be forgotten,” said retired French Lt. Gen. Michel Yakovleff. “Psychologically, Trump talking about taking Greenland was the equivalent of a father talking, jokingly, of raping one of his daughters. Obviously, it’s a new world in the family after that.” wsj.com/world/allies-f…

@Sean_in_Kyiv @yarotrof Boot lickers will lick boots even when the boot is on their neck ⬆️⬆️⬆️

@yarotrof Europeans will be bullied until they get strong again. That’s why bullies are useful 👍

Trump’s constant zigzagging on key policy issues, brusque decisions to scrap previous agreements, and general disregard for the views of allies means that even those foreign leaders who have tried to court him have often been burned by the experience. “Everyone is confused. Nobody can understand what America actually is today. It seems governed by some kind of mad emperor who keeps saying whatever comes to his mind, something we haven’t witnessed since Caligula or Nero,” said Carlo Calenda, an Italian senator. “The one thing the Europeans have understood is that we are dealing with a bully. You can give him everything he wants, you can pretend you don’t hear his insults, but he will keep trying to bully us, and so at a certain point we must stop him.” @CarloCalenda wsj.com/world/allies-f…

@DecodingFoxNews @atrupar From time to time Aaron provides the best live coverage What Twitter uses to be known for Thanks to you both

Congrats to @atrupar for this profile! Rupar has helped my much smaller account in multiple ways since I started this journey. I’ve learned a lot from him. He’s the best!

@1776Carolina3 @atrupar Are you OK

@atrupar The most telling part of the entire GODAWFUL article....you are so fully consumed by your pathological TDS that you cant even bring yourself to laugh at something you admit was funny. Trump has broken you utterly. This article is self-serving slop, nothing more. 🙄

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.” thetimes.com/us/american-po…

@DecodingFoxNews @atrupar @JustinBrannan The 1987 World Series was a classic One of the best, even though I was rooting for the Cards

@atrupar @JustinBrannan I want to add I love all the baseball memorabilia on your desk! We root for different teams (GoCards) but we both love the sport!!!

@Tom88206311 @katieporterca Perhaps it was 25 years of record drought The worst period of drought in 1,200 years

@katieporterca If they studied wildfire risk, they didn't do a very good job of it in California. Or no politicians listened to their warnings. Has to be one or the other excuse for poor forest management.

Elon Musk already axed nearly 6,000 Forest Service experts last year. Now, Trump is closing the Pacific Northwest Station—a pillar of our wildfire protection since 1925. You don't make California safer by firing the veterans who understand our terrain; you make us more vulnerable. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/cli…

@BeantownHQ @vtchakarova @CNN In Catturd we trust

@vtchakarova @CNN huh did not realize anyone still bothered with them as a source.. unless one wants an extremely biased view

CNN reports the oil crisis is becoming “an everything crisis” with petrochemical shortages spreading to consumer goods (plastics, rubber, polyester). Asia, which accounts for more than 50% of global manufacturing, is hardest hit. J.P. Morgan warns supply constraints will worsen in April as pre-war crude deliveries are exhausted. ~2,000 vessels and 20,000 crew remain stranded in the Persian Gulf.

@RichardHanania @SwipeWright @razibkhan Is it a coincidence Most of these are part of the Disinformation Network

@SwipeWright @razibkhan Talk about missing the point. The problem that stands out here isn’t lack of diversity. It’s that the things that are boosted are trash.

More viewpoint diversity would be better, but that's impossible to create when one side actively rejects it. Before Elon bought Twitter, the right created alternative platforms out of necessity because the left severely censored right-wing views. When Elon bought Twitter, the left voluntarily created alternative platforms specifically to avoid contact with right-wing views, not because they were being censored. So when leftists criticize X for its users skewing right, that's their own fault. They could always just... start posting on X to balance things out. Bluesky is even more ideologically skewed than X, but to the left. But the right isn't able to meaningfully increase viewpoint diversity there because they get banned for uttering basic facts.

@SwipeWright Now do the Venn Diagram with the Right Wing Disinformation Network

@BrandonStraka Matt Walsh cites history books to expose the history that they won't tell you And you fall for it Of course Matt can not follow a historical timeline Fudges numbers Plays fast and loose with details A time traveler couldn't keep track of Matt's non-linear mash-up of events

Matt Walsh challenges mainstream narratives on American Indian history, arguing they distort the past and undermine national identity. “We're told that as Americans... and it’s working”

@p8stie They have clubs Just so they can dress like this

@DavidLandrum6 I think the real wasps don’t dress like that just Irish ppl posing as them do

I’ve been seeing my first WASP in my life Today I told him that I don’t feel a romantic connection and he literally just ?doesnt care? He said that doesn’t turn him off and he sees me as a long term partner and would like to keep seeing me and take it slow

@giveashitnature As a veteran post wildfire research technician The sites that have been reseeded with a weed free seed source Invariably contain the most thistle Go figure

There's a dirty secret hiding in that "wildflower mix" you bought. University of Washington researchers grew 19 wildflower seed packets and found that every single one contained between 3 and 13 invasive species. Eight contained plants classified as noxious weeds in at least one US state. One third of the packets listed no contents at all. Only 5 of the 19 accurately listed what was inside. The most common plant across all the mixes? Bachelor's button: beautiful, popular, and invasive in native grasslands across the country. You buy the packet because you want to help pollinators. You might be introducing plants that crowd out the natives those pollinators actually need. What to do instead: buy from native plant nurseries specific to your region, or look for seed mixes from local native plant societies that list every species. If a packet doesn't tell you what's in it, don't plant it.
