Dear God this is too beautiful your works are too powerful I cannot stand it

@ray_barrera @TheKevinDalton Pinchee pendejos

@TheKevinDalton Pinches culeros ruin everything You just know one of those fat fucks goes by "Manny".

@ACZE80 @TheKevinDalton Rodeo is fantastic and ancient. They had rodeo and bull leaping in 3000 BC in Crete. Its raw and primal and the young cowboys and cowgirls are our wonderful brave children,

@TheKevinDalton You’re a dumb cuck who lives in Idaho and couldn’t go to a game anyway so shut the fuck up. Enjoy the rodeo bitch

@PronouncedHare @cour_michelle The Egregore takes on a life of its own

@cour_michelle I am very sure that nobody sets out to create this kind of pressure in a systematic way. But that’s the trouble with systems. They evolve to protect the system not to optimise individual judgment.

When my grandmother was 99 she had a pacemaker fitted. They flew her to Wellington for the operation. Before they went the guy asked her if she wanted to be resuscitated. She said yes. The guy then asked her again, explaining that it can cause quite painful injuries. She was a completely capable woman of full mental capacity and said yes she understood and please resuscitate her if she needed it. He then asked her a third time, telling her that her quality of life might be different. At that point, my grandmother turned to my father and asked “What does he want me to say?” and Dad then intervened telling the now very defensive guy to knock it off. That kind of low level pressure happens in the health system every day.

@Redskahh @Tas1Bora If you have the muscle and the brains to work on oil rigs you oughtta do it for a few years

@Tas1Bora It’s just the extra fuck you to me for going to college. I should’ve just hit the oil rig instead

This needs to become illegal. It is data collection + intimidation of existing employees + stock market manipulation + HR pretending to be working. Literally nothing is good about it and it damages the social fabric a lot.

@ggraham @GadSaad @Steve_Sailer @Cornell And shoes. What shoes should a man wear to signal success?

@GadSaad @Steve_Sailer @Cornell Someone please produce a list of top cars, watches, and country clubs for success, so that aspiring successful people will know which car to buy, which watch to wear, and which club to join.

I’ve been a professor at two of those universities and obtained my MS and PhD at @Cornell!

@DagoSupremacy " You numba ten! "

When Anthony Bourdain went to Vietnam and acted like he was in love with it I thought I could hardly think of a more hellish place…food may be good but imagining be surrounded by squat pan faced zipperheads barking at each other in that “pow! Ching pow! Ming mao!” Just kill me.

@vfrostthefourth @nicbarkeragain lol

@nicbarkeragain Sorry. But you’re using Apple Music on a laptop ? Also Spotify is just as trash a user interface. You’re just used to it. All apps/streaming have trash UI. It’s like comparing shit to poop.

Usually I try to just ignore this type of stuff and get on with my day, but I recently switched from spotify to apple music for reasons™, and the desktop user interface is so comically poor that I have to make a thread highlighting what I came across in one session, strap in:

@DannyDeraney "Blowin thru the Jasmin in my mind" What does that mean? Or is it "Blowin thru the jazz man in my mind"?

God Speed Dash Crofts. Seals and Crofts was the sound of a generation with so many soft rock bangers.

@spinza6 @zablonorina1 We all live for such a moment. I am a tiger!

@zablonorina1 If this was a tiger 🐅, he'd be singing hosanna to the highest with angels in heaven by now. Tigers live for moments like this. Attacking unsuspecting prey from behind.

Security camera footage from a safari lodge: Last guest of the night. Alone. Beer in hand. Scrolling his phone. Behind him, a male lion walks in. After-dark rules in the bush aren’t suggestions they’re survival protocols. Most guests never ask why. This is why.

@zablonorina1 Look at that big pretty boy. Hes low key.

@owroot I agree, it is horrible. Incandescent indoor lighting will take the edge off.

This is a kind of dreadfully common Northern Michigan ugly-winter sky. There are no clouds and when you look up it is a very ugly yellow gray, if that color is possible. Yes, it is. This is it. There are no shadows cast because there is no sunlight that breaks through. The ground is a dull white from half melted snow. The light is actually sickening. Really. It makes you ill. Even when you are indoors the way the light falls through the windows and onto your floors is depressing. It makes the inside of your house look uglier. Your rooms look terrible, the floors and your tables are awful. Everything that is a little wrong is blown up bigger. Any of the mess looks worse and more depressing, it makes you more irritated. It's not until the sun comes out that you realize everything isn't awful and that your house isn't a total ramshackle shack. This sky is nature's equivalent of a bare fluorescent bulb on concrete. It's very bad for you. I have tried to take hyper-realistic photos this winter and this might be one of the most realistic, and most depressing for that reason.

@wl27394715830 @walterkirn Above all, he is a loyal Party comrade. He will deconstruct every story he touches.

@walterkirn This has potential, no? Because of his late night show, we all see him as a giant tit. But if we look past that big bazooka, he’s also a very talented writer and zealous Tolkien fanatic. It’s perfectly possible that the loss of his show could liberate his talent productively.

I hear Colbert will be writing all the big movies going forward. Stephen Colbert to cowrite next 'Lord of the Rings' movie after leaving late night | KSL.com ksl.com/article/514727…

@walterkirn Evangeline Lilly pranced around in an elf costume in the Hobbit, demolishing the story. Her character was in an interracial romance with a dwarf. 'Those people' ruin everything they touch.

@LaGrecca333 Female doctors do not want to keep grinding. They want less stress and a lower workload. Many want a family and healthy children which are incompatible with long, hard hours at the hospital.

I had a conversation with a doctor that trains residents. She said she doesn’t know how the medical system can stay the same because these young people don’t want to put in the long hours necessary. She said that doctors expect “work life balance” and that wasn’t a concept when she was up and coming. I wonder if other doctors are noticing the same issue?

@MattWalshBlog @judymorris3 TSA has value as a jobs program

When TSA has been tested, it has failed to stop up to 80 percent of weapons smuggled through security. TSA to this day has never actually prevented a terrorist attack. There is not a single documented case of a terror plot foiled by TSA. On top of that, TSA was formed in response to 9-11, but 9-11 was not a failure of airport security. Airport security had basically nothing to do with it. So while this stand off over TSA funding continues, keep in mind that the agency shouldn't exist and is historically terrible at its job. We should privatize airport security again. Then it can't be used as a bargaining chip by politicians.

@FrailSkeleton @Hitchslap1 Gays mock women mercilessly. They dress up as women and do grotesque imitations. They do phony female voices and mannerisms. I admit, under duress, lots of times they are funny as all hell.

@Hitchslap1 Uh no gay guys hate women, anyone who can remotely read between the lines knows this

Lesbians seem to show a vicious loathing of most men. However, gay men seem to show a love and reverence for women. I wonder what best explains this?

@WorldSTEM_Bob @KeoweeSCgal @WallStreetMav Your wife is a jewel. But you know that.

@KeoweeSCgal @WallStreetMav Counseling to find out what is his past or what in her current behavior makes him not trust her. My wife is on all of my accounts because she’s a total saver and frugal shopper. Except for groceries. Hard to argue against her need for organic produce.

🤔🤔🤔

@LeftyCrypto Fair enough. We gotta find something for them to do.

TSA is a black jobs program btw

@TheProjectUnity You, sir, have a good mind.

Every night human beings go to sleep, lose all sense of their known reality, plunge into an abstract hyper-dimensional realm of infinite experience where time collapses, all moments instantly manifest, and then they wake up and just go about their day.

@DefiantLs The interviewer is a classic beauty

Michelle Obama when asked if she'd ever run for office: "The answer is no... Not only am I not interested in politics in that way... we've done enough."
