@Darrell_1776 @cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks can you explain how Lindell or Guiliani knew this? Neither of them are election officials.

@cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, and others were the first to report that the voting machines were hacked by foreign governments. At the time, AG Barr stated that the elections were secure when he knew it wasn’t true. Pass the SAVE Act now!

There's a huge problem with Trump's theory that the establishment stole the 2020 election from him. Why would they bother when you turned out to be their bitch anyway? I think there might be a secret reason why he's doing this speech tonight. @TheYoungTurks coverage tonight.

@TomDowling41514 @ggreenwald @cenkuygur @StephenM DJT bombed them and said it was a complete success. Until a little bit later and it wasn't. So he started a war.

@ggreenwald @cenkuygur @StephenM And DJT has given the Iranian regime every opportunity to pursue peace and they’ve said they wanted to be destroyed so DJT is simply giving them what they want.

Hey, @cenkuygur: right before the 2024 election, @StephenM could not have possibly been clearer with you, as he said. Was there something you failed to understand?

@xav_moss @PAHoyeck At Oppenheimer, Imax, the only reason I didn't stand and challenge the boys behind me is that the behaviour was so overtly weird that I honestly couldn't tell it apart from plausible Tourette's. Only after the lights were on I could see their faces and knew it was intentional.

@PAHoyeck I dont think its phone addiction per se, it's that the whole notion of appropriate behaviour seems ro have gone out the window. People arent behaving improperly on purpose, they literally don't believe there are proper ways to behave at all!

Guy next to me at The Odyssey last night was playing games on his phone during the opening logos, so I turned to him and said, “You're gonna turn that off now, right?” — to which he replied with a resentful “Oh, okay.” He then proceeded to hunch over with his back to me about a dozen times times so I wouldn't see the light. Still very distracting, but I didn’t say anything else. I assume the people behind him could see it a lot better than I could. There are points where he was hunched over for several minutes straight, presumably texting people during the film. Rudeness aside, why pay good money to see a movie in the cinema if you’re not even going to watch it? Stuff like this happens almost every time I go to the cinema these days. Have people really fried their brains so badly that they can’t spend two or three hours watching a film without having to check their notifications?

@Eleni2017C @HalfwayPost Did they cheat in the two elections he won?

@HalfwayPost first, this is not true and has got to be more fake news, and second, what i recall is our president DJTstated the Dems have cheated for over 45 years.

BREAKING: After Donald Trump spent hours calling Fox News executives and screaming at them for ignoring his fraud claims, one reportedly yelled back, “You told the entire country, on live television, that every president—even Sleepy Joe—has run fair elections EXCEPT you!"

@fishingVince @HalfwayPost Your goalposts need rocket-boosters.

Trump's speech highlighted how deep the Democrat deep state is embedded in the three letter organizations. Trump fired as many as he could in his first term but missed many. Trump's administration is still finding embedded deep state members, with internal leakers, agitators, spies, ect.

@Leophilius @lastrealhumans It takes a lot of blind faith to believe in chaos.

@lastrealhumans Particle behavior is extraordinarily well understood and described via symmetries in the interactions. It is not “chaotic”.

Guy who claims atheism doesn't require massive amounts of blind faith does not realize he has to have massive amounts of blind faith that accidental interactions of inherently chaotic and unguided particles can result in him typing on a phone

@SpeedWatkins I went to a private Christian high-school that brainwashed us with VHS tapes claiming scientists had to factor in Old Testament 'and the sun stood still' time data in order to programme satellites correctly. Really took a while to disentangle from that.

(3) Science has been successful without ever invoking God's will. (4) Theism is no more probable intrinsically than atheism. Hence, all else equal, (5) Theism is probably false. That this is evidence against theism is indisputable. The only open question is how weighty it is.

Science's Secular Success (1) Atheism natively entails that if science is successful, it won't invoke God's will; thus, the secular success of science confirms atheism. (2) By the symmetry of confirmation, that same success must also disconfirm atheism's negation, i.e., theism.

@seanjwestwood Is the data centre being connected to an 'average national water supply'? Or are they often placed next to small communities where their relative water demands are comparatively large?

Water use is just not a credible argument against the growth of AI data centers. It is misinformation.

@FindingTrinity @SpeedWatkins @TheDrewHaas Well, that's a start. I would also be without the promises of Jesus within Christianity where Jesus promises healing, miracles, signs & wonders. It would begin to erode this part of Christianity too.

@PosthumanDan @SpeedWatkins @TheDrewHaas It would be "without Calvinism." The opposite end of the spectrum would be Open Theism which offers some interesting challenges to Calvinism and, to a lesser extent, to classical theism.

Modern science is highly successful without ever invoking God’s will, which confirms atheism. Because the probability calculus dictates that confirming a hypothesis must also mathematically disconfirm its negation, this success *logically entails* the disconfirmation of theism.

@darkcorman @darwintojesus ^ Do you understand what wish-casting is?

@darwintojesus Most atheists don’t understand science or atheism.

Every atheist disputing that science requires blind faith is just telling everyone they have no actual understanding of science and how it works.

@darwintojesus In Research Methods we're taught to be critical of claims, clear in hypotheses, to assess multiple forms of bias, error, noise, and to understand the relative robustness of statistical calculations applied to data: Where does the blind faith part happen?

@BulwarkOnline He's speculating about the imagined effects of other people's speculations when they are divided into high-or-low bands of credence. What vapid psychobabble

Navarro: "There is a deep, deep, deep division on whether the 2020 election was stolen…Is the probability that the election was stolen higher today in people's minds than it was before we got the data? I would argue that certainly, there's no question. Whether you have a very low view of whether it was stolen, it's gonna creep up a little bit because of what came out. If you have a high view, it's gonna maybe pop to certainty."

@sarahsalviander Your framing is off: "Cars work" = "Solar system works" You have only pointed at the sample without invoking the 'success of modern science' to investigate. Add an investigator to your analogy.

I'm not sure if this is in jest, but do y'all see the flaw? I mean, cars work without ever invoking engineers, so I guess engineers don't exist?

@FindingTrinity @SpeedWatkins @TheDrewHaas If there is a sample of data where God does not exercise will, nor omnipotence & power, nor steer things towards His ends, nor allows His glory to shine through: Would that sample be 'without theism'?

@SpeedWatkins @TheDrewHaas Possibility and power are not necessity.

@StatisticUrban Parks.

What last name would we give bastards born in New York City, Westeros style?

@RubenObed12 @DarkMatter2525 @DrFrankTurek @NickJFreitas Does God also possess that same free will (i.e. the capacity to desire sin and to enact sin)? Or does God have the ability to explore consciousness without free will?

@DarkMatter2525 @DrFrankTurek @NickJFreitas The more esoteric understanding of free will, ie God giving us free wil, is so we can fully explore all the posibilities of concoiussness. Thats really the only legitmate solution.

What if our culture has misunderstood Christianity? @NickJFreitas unpacks the Gospel, tackles the problem of evil, and explains how the Christian worldview makes sense of love, justice, and the purpose of life.

@SloppySalah @FXDugas1 @RichardHanania By mathematically - he means 'emotionally based on my subjective stance'

@FXDugas1 @RichardHanania why is that mathematically improbable

Trump endorses an election denier for Congress. Turns out he's a Mormon who encourages other men to have sex with his wife. This is the MAGA-era Republican Party.

@Pathfinder4545 @McClureShawn This means as much as "The Explanation explains it."

@McClureShawn Design explains it.

Human chromosome 2 contains the marks expected from an ancestral fusion: internal telomere-like sequences and remnants of an additional centromere. Other great apes retain the corresponding two chromosomes. Creationism cannot explain this. Common ancestry via evolution does.

@GhostCoase But they start as basically children, right? I sleepwalked through undergrad. Ideas didn't start to change me until post-grad.

But, I suspect, there is a bigger selection effect: people who go into the sciences are less likely to be dualists to begin with.

Given 90% of Americans are dualists and there is even evidence the belief is hardwired, in some sense, by evolution, the fact such an overwhelming and deepseated tendency is reversed actually *might* mean dualism is undermined by studying neuroscience.

@CatchUpFeed Was the enlisted marine's rent was paid for by socialism, or did they own those houses based on their socialised paycheck?

JD Vance on the housing crisis: "In some ways, Joe, the game is rigged." JD Vance tells Rogan about an engineer out-earning 90% of her generation who sees literally what her parents had as unachievable. He gives an example of Oceanside, San Diego once full of enlisted Marines' kids where every house is now north of a million dollars. His warning to Republicans: "Socialism is the alternative" if the dream stays out of reach. The housing crisis has reached the point where working harder than most of your generation no longer buys what one enlisted salary used to. Whichever party offers a credible way back owns the priced-out generation.
