@neontaster So disappointing

"Why isn't everything I read a reflection of my own thoughts by an author who is a carbon copy of me?"

@SarahTheHaider It doesnt do that to me. Claude might just have a crush on you

Is there any way to get Claude to stop the flattery? I've repeatedly made it clear, in several different ways, and it always steers back to sycophancy.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Tina Ion, a candidate for @TheGreenParty in Newcastle

@atrupar It’s obvious none of you listened to the clip and miss the words @atrupar so conveniently leaves out. “…walk into a restaurant or a club…” Yeah to walk in is a stretch but order alcohol. Each one of you knows what he’s talking about.

@crampell All normal people instantly know hes talking about being carded for alcohol

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

It's been fascinating to watch mainstream liberal culture slowly boil every human quality down to politics Is he the greatest guitarist of all time? "Well I can't answer that question until I see their tweets during Covid"

@jmasseypoet Well, except her evidently. Must be very lonely, being the only unproblematic person

I hate to break it to you, but everyone is “problematic.” Human beings are flawed. If they weren’t, literature and art would not exist. You’ve been duped by an ideology that will happily rob you of all joy and complexity in life and art.

Rather than go out gracefully to face his own demons, former Congressman and womanizing loser Eric Swalwell decided to bring several of his colleagues down with him. Swalwell named Jamie Raskin, Hakeem Jeffries, and Adam Schiff as his "friends" who "engaged in all the same activities." All three have denied the allegations. It will be interesting to watch it play out. H/T America Loves Liberty of course the rats will consume each other on the way out!!!! GOOD!!!

Ok. This is an interesting clip. This is one of the first times I’ve seen a politician running explicitly against the progressive NGO kleptocracy. He’s wrong that these people are ‘socialists’ (they’re kleptocrats who use leftist rhetoric to legitimize themselves) but that’s fine. It’s still very effective rhetorically. The right needs to bring this attack up to scale: the purpose of the DSA is not ‘socialism,’ it’s to maximize public revenue extraction so that upper middle class jobs doing fake work can be doled out to political allies (surplus elites, failed creatives, etc.). It’s important for the public to understand what’s going on here and where their money is going and not only can this be an effective cudgel against the left, but smashing these rice bowls can have all sorts of other positive externalities for our politics.

@johnloeber That was Chesterton's Fridge

real-life example of Chesterton’s fence i’m in a cafe that has a fridge for drinks. the door is ajar. it shouldn’t be — the drinks will get warm. it seems obvious. well-intentioned, i close the fridge door. the fridge it begins making an ominous noise, whirring loudly. the drinks bottles begin shaking. the glass clinks. it becomes apparent to me that i was in error and something is awry. a barista rounds the counter, goes to the fridge, and slightly opens the door. the fridge stops shaking. order restored

If I told you a twenty-three-year-old guy once jumped into a freezing reservoir, swam ten metres down to a sunken trolleybus, kicked through a glass window in the dark, and physically pulled dozens of people out of the water, you might think it was a movie script. But it actually happened in 1976 in Yerevan, Armenia. The man was Shavarsh Karapetyan. He just happened to be jogging by the water when the bus went off the road. He also happened to be a seventeen-time world champion and eleven-time world record holder in underwater finswimming. The vehicle sank straight to the bottom with ninety-two passengers inside. Because Karapetyan was quite literally the best underwater swimmer on the planet, he spent twenty minutes diving into the raw sewage and freezing water. He would hold his breath, swim down, locate someone in the murky dark, drag them to the surface, and pass them to his brother in a rowboat before going straight back down. Twenty of those passengers survived. There is no record of a single person ever pulling off an underwater physical rescue of that scale before or since. The physical toll completely ended his athletic career. The broken glass shredded his legs, and the heavily polluted water gave him severe pneumonia and sepsis. He spent forty-five days unconscious in a hospital and lost his physical ability to compete at a world-class level. When reporters later asked him what the hardest part of the rescue was, he did not mention the cold or the injuries. He said that on one of his dives in the pitch black, he accidentally grabbed a leather seat cushion instead of a passenger, and he spent years having nightmares about the person he could have brought up instead.

When a self-proclaimed civil rights organization puts Ayaan Hirsi Ali, of all people, on a "hate watch" list, you know it has been twisted into a grotesque hate group itself. But this was only a sample of its perversions. Ayaan: The SPLC Targeted Me. Now Its Reckoning Has Come. thefp.com/p/ayaan-hirsi-…

Nice job, Pete.

@SecretaryPete Nice work

Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ's work. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…

@SenBooker You probably should just be quiet right now.

One less carrier means higher prices and fewer options for passengers heading into summer travel. Spirit’s collapse is the latest casualty of a consolidated airline industry that was already failing working families. The growing concentration at the top has made flying a luxury instead of a given. We must ensure greater competition in our skies and real choice for all American travelers.

@SenBooker This you?

@SenBooker It was the Democratic Party under Joe Biden that would not let Spirit merge with Jet Blue. You are an unbelievable hypocrite who is attempting to gaslight Americans so as not not accept responsibility for the demise of Spirit and the loss of 14,000 jobs.
