Me: Hey kid! Back up, you're going to get bit by that crocodile if you're not careful. Them: Crocodile lover. Big Croc shill. Why do you hate innocent kids?

That matches their public assessments of the conflict, each asserting “We’ve already beaten you.”

@BobbieMitchell @iMeirK @FischerKing64 Huh? What was misrepresented from the Bloomberg article. Only people onnX care about his relationship with Tucker, for most normal people it’s indistinguishable from Trump’s relationship with Tucker.

@iMeirK @michaelbd @FischerKing64 That's all he does is misrepresent information. Clickbait.

The statistics are meaningless at this point. But listening to conservative talk radio - the sort of people who were once Never Trumpers and are very enthusiastic about military action against Iran - there is clearly a push to undermine Vance and promote Rubio.

Did we ever figure out the mystery of “Squi”?

@neilkli This guy says Orban is going to jail. For what? Orban doesn’t imprison his opponents.

@michaelbd conservatives all believe that the left wants to put them in jail because they want to put the left in jail. everything is projection

Why would he go to jail? Hungary doesn’t have political prisoners now. Are we really saying the “liberals” are going to start jailing the political opposition?

@NY_LBSS Yeah, and?

@michaelbd Just skipping over 1950s literally zenith America.

Probably the most evident sign of American decline is that so many people in the political class freely and promiscuously accuse each other of being bought and paid for by foreign interests.

@NY_LBSS But that’s what I mean. Early America was a smaller country surrounded by big Empires on the continent. Unless they are very long-lived disciplined republics like the Swiss, those are rife with accusations of foreign influence.

@michaelbd Wait till you learn about the red scare. Or early America where people were accused of working for the French or British.

Pope Leo XIV in a message to the French Bishops, tells them to find generous solutions to include those attached to the Traditional Latin Mass: “Dear brothers, you finally intend to address the delicate subject of the Liturgy, to which the Holy Father is particularly attentive, in the context of the growth of communities bound to the Vetus Ordo. It is troubling that a painful wound concerning the celebration of Mass, the very sacrament of unity, continues to open in the Church. To heal it, a new way of looking at one another, with a greater understanding of each other's sensitivities, is certainly necessary; a way of looking that can allow brothers, enriched by their diversity, to welcome one another in charity and the unity of faith. May the Holy Spirit suggest to you concrete solutions that will allow for the generous inclusion of those sincerely attached to the Vetus Ordo, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Second Vatican Council regarding the Liturgy.”

@Tebow4802 Nope. Haven’t seen the clip. Responding to insane tweets from Loomer and Hammer.

@michaelbd Is this about the backlash to the really awful Tucker clip bashing the west and praising the open and tolerant Saudi Arabia per chance? Because it feels like it is

@noways_tired they’re likely accurate about a much smaller subset of paid influencers who are on X all the time without seeming to have another source of income, who largely escape the charge.

@michaelbd Is the decline evidenced by the accusations or the accuracy of them?

The paid influencers on X

I put together some of my favorite shots

I hate my clients

Is it modern? Seems antique to me. Socialists lost faith in the working class as a revolutionary subject of history back in 1960s, trading it for “the subaltern.” All traditional Labour parties by the 1990s were interested in making more university students and giving their party almost wholly over to a new upwardly mobile professional class.

@webdevMason Every other year my family flies a red eye from NY to Dublin. This is perfect for our three kids.

Okay, this is actually kind of a gamechanger if you have kids

@webdevMason Yep!

@JonahDispatch Carl is great.
