A Strange Loop 🧭✴️

@SenEricSchmitt I wrote about the Cato study here: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer42…

@ByrneHobart I did this at Berkeley, it was fun!

The only people I've heard of who hung around a campus and audited interesting courses are Nicholas Decker and Sean Parker. If you're a believer in college-as-skill-acquisition vs college-as-signaling, this is a big puzzle!

The electricity NIMBYs strike again Have you guys heard of markets?

We always joke about Otis Redding being the oldest-looking 26 year old of all time, but never forget… …Ritchie Valens died at 17. This is a 17 year old. Maybe eem 16 in these pics.

🚨Owner of Health Care Software Company Convicted of 1 BILLION DOLLAR Medicare Fraud Conspiracy “The Department of Justice crushed one of the most egregious fraud schemes in Florida history,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This illegitimate operation stole more than $1 billion from American taxpayers — including hundreds of thousands of Medicare beneficiaries. This was cold, calculated, industrial-scale theft targeting the sick and elderly, coercing vulnerable people into buying unnecessary medical equipment. We will not rest until every fraudster ripping off the American people is held accountable.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/owner-h…

NYU shocked that the students it selected for their politics are doing the politics they said they would do.

@CapGotOne @FrenlyOfficer That's...not true

@FrenlyOfficer Too bad it’s not. Deadly force is only legal if you face imminent threat to your life. A punch is not that. Especially when you provoked said punch. You can’t put yourself in a dangerous situation then claim self defense. You should know your rights before ever owning a gun.

If you punch someone in the head without just provocation, I think self-defense with a firearm is justified.

Rep Eli Crane asks the new ATF director, Mr. Cekada, about the case of Patrick Tate Adamiak who was wrongfully convicted of owning items he literally (not figuratively...) didn't own. Mr. Cekada confirms the ATF & DOJ are looking into the case. As I said in my last video on the topic, I've known this to be the case for some time but the fact that current administration officials are confirming this on the record now is a very good sign. It's progress but the fight for actual justice in this case is far from over and as I post this Tate is still sitting in a cement cage for no reason at all outside of the Biden administration wanting to "make an example" out of him. Let's keep the pressure up and get this young man released 🦅 Feel free to email the US Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, at USPardon.Attorney@usdoj.gov #PatrickAdamiak #CivilRights

🚨 WTF?! VP Vance just exposed a SINGLE "immigrant" in Maine who stole $15 MILLION from Medicaid over five years, claiming to provide interpreter services while providing ZERO. Why the HELL are we paying for "interpreter services" for illegals anyway??! CUT IT ALL! "Rakiya Mohamed was not a particularly upstanding citizen...she was providing zero services and collecting $15 million over a five year period that was going directly into her pocket." And it happened almost entirely under the Biden administration, which never lifted a finger to stop it.

''Bro just go read some books'' Meanwhile the newest James Bond book:

that CBC-funded “prank” didn’t just target pundits. In @Quillette, I report on their efforts to mock a humble 82-yr-old Brockville granddad who enjoys 19th-c historical re-enanctments. Producers repeatedly lied to him for months, then exploited his trust quillette.com/2026/05/15/a-d…

@jeetsidhu_ That's not remotely self defense

Henry Nowack is on video drunkenly confronting the Sikh kid using Jamaican Patois like a British drug dealer past midnight for no reason (see below). The Sikh kid overreacted in self defense but take out the tribal emotion - who started this confrontation and escalated it?

THREE THINGS that very clearly demonstrate Dalton’s “Chud the Builder” self defense claims and why I think he’ll be found not guilty on the basis of self defense. A lot of people think this was another one of Dalton’s streams where he poses the “do you believe in free speech” gotcha question and then drops the N bomb on an unsuspecting minority. This is not at all the case, and it’s important in the context of his claim of self defense and whether or not Dalton PROVOKED the altercation. The first point is that Joshua Fox initiated contact. The story, as we know it so far, is that as Dalton was leaving the courthouse Joshua Fox recognized Dalton and starting pointing, laughing, and calling out to him. Joshua knew who Dalton was, recognized him in public, and made the initial move to invoke some sort of interaction between the two by taunting Dalton from across the street. Dalton then walked over to Joshua and, while we do not know the context of that conversation for certain, allegedly, Dalton only attempted to make small talk before Joshua told him to get on and to go away. This the second point - Dalton walked away. Dalton left Joshua, crossed the street back to the courthouse. At this point, the interaction was over and finished. However, Joshua Fox followed Dalton across the street and directly approached him. Then according to Dalton’s testimony, Joshua threatened Dalton by saying something to the effect of “I am a combat veteran. You’re not going to be saying all that “chimpin out” shit around me.” This is a clear verbal threat of physical harm. Dalton then says to Joshua, “Oh so you ARE chimping out?”. This is when Joshua punches Dalton in the face, knocks him onto the ground, and continues to strike Dalton. Dalton, 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, fired shots, striking Joshua in the stomach and shoulder and sending another round into his own arm. The last shot further demonstrates the compromised position that Joshua had Dalton in and will undoubtedly be used as justification for Daltons fear of serious bodily harm or death. This was not “Joshua threw one punch and Dalton shot three times”. Dalton was sucker punched in the face and Joshua continued to assault him after being knocked down. This is exactly what George Zimmerman was acquitted for as continuing to be struck while on the ground meets the threshold for any reasonable person to believe that serious bodily harm was probable or that their life was in danger. This is when the video of the altercation begins, after the shots were fired, and Dalton wrestles a wounded Joshua over and down onto the ground. Cops break them up immediately after. This is when Dalton begins his stream on pump.fun. So, just to be explicitly clear: Dalton was not streaming, trying to provoke people to farm engagement. Dalton was simply walking out of the courthouse and was recognized by someone that had it out for him. Dalton WALKED AWAY. Joshua Fox FOLLOWED AFTER HIM. Joshua Fox assaults Dalton and continues to strike him after Dalton had fallen onto the ground. This is clear and decisive self defense. If it’s found to be not, it will just be another all too common blight on our Justice system.

I support Rashida Tlaib's resolution to officially recognize the Nakba on the condition that we say the truth about what the Nakba was: Palestinians led the charge, murdering 1% of Israel's population, in a war they started. Palestinians rejected a peaceful UN two-state solution and chose war and ethnic cleansing instead. They ethnically cleansed THE ENTIRE East Jerusalem and the West Bank of every Jew. NOT ONE Jew remained there. Let's recognize the truth of the Nakba.

hallucinated references will land you a 1-year ban from arxiv now. wow

Unsurprisingly, this doesn't come close to addressing why climate change is a political loser, and why Democrats were thus forced to shut up about it.

How many ethnic Europeans could find a person to help them hold down an 11-year-old girl in a school toilet while they rape her? Not many. But Afghans can. This tells us a lot about how strongly we should avoid having them in our countries. They are not remotely like us.

@ElijahRavitz @upstatefederlst

@upstatefederlst Truly an insane claim completely disconnected from reality. The left and the Democratic party have been trying to ban gerrymandering for decades. It's been a major political issue in the Democratic party and Republicans have stood in the way every single time.

Democrats never cared about this until the federal requirement to draw D districts in red states went away.

@TheCatSenate Right, you're far worse

Conservatives out here thinking everyone is as evil as they are

I'm going to get hundreds of QTs today telling me that Democrats never gerrymandered because they don't count "federally required blue districts in deep red states" as gerrymandering.
