This is better than the Lego Movie.😂 Iran pilot rescue.

@kadmitriev The left are spinning this speech counterclockwise as the end of the VP. I can almost feel the new pact in the thickening air around norther Europe. I think the Donbas AND southern Ukraine will need to be ceded. That's all the EU pipe heads. No methane for Germany.

JD Vance opens eyes to “The Corruption of Brussels.” Ursula “Pfizer” von der Leyen should be concerned.

@LeoKearse Do you know how hard it is to clean Leftist fat out of military tread patterns? That driver is going to miss supper.

Tiananmen Square? More of a Rice Krispie Square moment.

@TRobinsonNewEra By redefining knife crime as not involving people with brown skin. Muslims and Africans are just carrying culturally appropriate fingernail tools.

Another promise like smashing the boats? Yes we believe you.

@GBPolitcs Cunning.... He now can't do that so has to turn Trump down... UK blamed for ending NATO, Kier-No-Mates will have to spend the entire welfare budget for the next 100years on defense. Starving children in the street to buy munitions and house illegals.

🚨NEW: Nigel Farage has today urged Keir Starmer to get on the phone to Donald Trump and potentially allow the US to use UK military bases to launch attacks on Iran

@LeoKearse Big smear!

@LeoKearse Hero... For Labour...

If Kanye paid £4,000 to a cross channel migrant smuggler and came in on a small boat, no passport...what would happen? Genuinely?

@GBPolitcs Great idea! The UK has never even tried chain-gangs! Time to give it a go!

🚨NEW: A Scottish Greens candidate, who is expected to become an MSP in May’s Holyrood election, wants to close all of Scotland’s prisons and replace prison sentences with community service

Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years. Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged. A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵

@Fat_Jacques I'm not (just) being pejorative, I think the Left eschew all reasoning in favour of a sort of intuition. They trust someone else to have done the thinking for them. How else could a "lived experience" trump a fact.

@SkaifeJoe So true. But you’d hope they could at least lay out what reasoning the do have.

The question of whether to burn gas or not is a science consideration. The question of whether that gas should be sourced in the UK or Norway is an economics one. As far as I can tell, we will be burning gas for at least 20 years. Science and engineering is working on reducing then eliminating it. But in the mean time it makes sense to buy it where our government keeps the tax on it, not the Norwegians. If someone wants to explain why Norwegian gas doesn’t affect the atmosphere but UK gas does, I am listening…

@JohnCleese These are obvious post NATO pairings. China will be interesting, there is much to be gained for them while they modernize.

So it's resolved... Russia, Hungary, Belarus and the US against the European democracies

@PhoebeGostick @BritishTaiga @_CryMiaRiver You control for bias both on the method, the analysis and the conclusion. You don't, for instance, state conclusions that cannot be gleaned from the data. This was a proper study and the conclusions are worthy of notice.

If it was controlled that tightly, it would be much stronger… but the issue is that in realworld observational studies you can’t fully control for all those factors (especially why someone did or didn’t receive treatment). So like to your comment: in theory, yes, in practice, that level of control usually isn’t achievable, which is why selection bias is still a concern 🤷‍♀️

Trans activists discovering the concept of a control group for the first time is genuinely hilarious. “You can’t assess whether a treatment works by studying people who mostly didn’t have it.” That’s literally how you study if a treatment works.

@PhoebeGostick @BritishTaiga @_CryMiaRiver That's correct and properly accounted for in the study and it's conclusions. This is real science, not trans-science.

@BritishTaiga @_CryMiaRiver If the people who didn’t get care are different in key ways, you’re not measuring the effect of care… you’re measuring differences between groups.. the untreated group needs to be comparable

@PhoebeGostick @_CryMiaRiver Yes.

@_CryMiaRiver So wait… you’re saying basically a study that is including two-thirds of people who didn’t get treatment = automatically good science?

@BlaseNewYorkr @elonmusk @RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz Use Grok. It's that simple.

@elonmusk @RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz Open AI needs to be destroyed like, yesterday. How do we do that?

@RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz Troubling

@allthatstackola @ronyspark @XFreeze Automatic for Japanese. But I agree, a setting would be nice (I do like to see the languages I happen to speak being presented).

@ronyspark @XFreeze How? Is there some settings that need changing?

Many people still don’t know this 𝕏 quietly replaced Google Translate with Grok… and it’s been an absolute game-changer Previously 𝕏 used to have Google Translate, which was kinda okay-ish Grok translation just broke the walls between Japanese and Western users Timelines went from local to GLOBAL overnight Japanese fire, anime takes, niche culture.....now the whole West actually gets it (and vice versa) People are honestly loving it. The timelines have never been this fun and interesting!

@gumballgarry @Devon_Eriksen_ Fortunately there are signs that is changing.

@Devon_Eriksen_ Americans are conditioned from birth to view ethnostates as evil. American popular culture has been running with the message that ethnostates are regressive and evil for 80 years. Our influence in this regard is undeniably negative.

Europe's disease is not a disease of America. It is a disease of World War 2. In 1946, after we rescued them from themselves and each other, Europeans crawled out of the rubble they had made of their continent, looked around at their mess, wept for a bit, and then formed the wrong conclusions. They decided that ethnic nations are bad. That patriotism is bad. That supporting your tribe, in preference to random strangers, is bad. They decided that these things had led to the horrors of global war and genocide in Europe itself, and so all vestiges of loyalty to one's own people must be stamped out. Nations were, forever afterward, to be post-ethnic, post-cultural legal and economic units filled with... well, anyone, really. A bunch of people who didn't, in fact shouldn't, share values, goals, morals, customs, or even a common language. Nations were to be mere fiefs, their boundaries determined by which set of political elites controlled them. America, having not been smashed to rubble in WW2, did not share this view. We saw WW2 as an expensive adventure in bailing out Europe, which we spent our treasure and our blood on (including my own grandfather's life, and his chance to ever see his grandson) precisely because we shared cultural and ethical values with the people we were rescuing. But they hate us for it. They see our patriotism as fascism precisely because they see all patriotism as fascism. Psychologists have long understood that humans respond to favors with gratitude only up until those favors become so great that they have no hope of repaying them. At that point, their gratitude turns to resentment. How dare we believe we did them a favor? How dare I believe that my father gave up his father so Europe could be safe, peaceful, and free? Don't we know that, because ${ELABORATE MENTAL GYMNASTICS}, we didn't do them any favors by fighting that war? Don't we know that, because ${ANY PATRIOTISM = HITLER}, our love of our country and favoring of its interests makes us fascist and problematic? Well, no. I don't know that. I don't think any European nation is our ally any more. Certainly, we have shared interests, but how much does that really matter, when they refuse to act in those shared interests, because they have come to believe that acting in your people's interest is bad? They hate us too much to work with us. They resent every ounce of the burden which they are asked to share. Our support has made Europe into a pack of idle welfare recipients, complete with sense of entitlement and self-destructive behavior. But if we didn't defend them... who would? Their native populations have been purged of all patriotism, and who would blame them if they didn't fight for ruling elites that hate them? Their imported third-world barbarians won't fight for them. The very idea is laughable. What's left? And what will make them wake up and think about these questions? Perhaps they need to dig themselves out of the rubble of another war.

@WONGthink Differences a beautiful things.

Mansplaining is problem solving through articulation. Woman venting is problem solving through emotional regulation. Thank you 🫡
