@RichardHanania Kevin O’Leary is a scammer and the data center will never be built. He did the same thing a few years ago promising to build a refinery.

Losers. You will be defeated. Too much money and AI is too useful. But you should rethink why you hate human progress so much and are so easily taken in by misinformation.

Kevin O'Leary's massive data center was approved by a county commission in Utah last night. At 40,000 acres, it would be 2.5x the size of Manhattan. The commission approved the proposal despite opposition from hundreds of locals.

@Konstantiniok @memeticsisyphus No, he doesn’t say that. The point is that Stalin successfully plotted to get the capitalist powers to fight each other in a war.
English
@memeticsisyphus So the Nazis occupying France and gassing Jews is Uncle Joe’s fault?
English
Stalin’s War Sean McMeekin (2021)
A new framing of WWII, not as the conflict between the Allied powers and the Axis, but of a series of armed conflicts directly caused by Russia’s famous communist leader. It explores the political and ideological motivations of uncle Joe, the less talked about Eastern European conflicts leading up to WWII, the events and switching alliances of WWII, and finally the aftermath.
With all of McMeekin’s books it’s more political than historical, so it can only get a 3, but it is still a great read.
Rating: 3/5

@CallOfTheLife @MaxNordau The Poles living in what was the Eastern side of Poland in 1938 were ethnically cleansed and forcibly displaced by Stalin.
English
@Steve75587124 @MaxNordau Oh poor poles, really didn't want that land.
Feel free to hand it back, anytime.
English
@MaxNordau As a result, Poles were ethically cleansed from places where there families had lived for centuries, and transported against their will into former German territory by Stalin
English
@MaxNordau Poland didn’t ask for that to be done. The USSR wanted to keep the parts of Poland it took in the Nazi-Soviet pact, and Roosevelt and Churchil agreed to do it and compensate Poland with German land at the Tehran conference. Poland was not represented at the conference

@ryantheramsfan @RichardHanania @TuckerCarlson Here’s the actual words of the clip
Reporter: On a recent show you went farther, saying “Here’a a leader… Could this be the antichrist?”
Tucker: I actually didn’t say “Could this be the antichrist?”. Um, I don’t know where that comes from. I know those words never left my lips
English
@RichardHanania "You called him the anti christ"
"No I didn't"
Shows clip: "he puts himself above God, COULD HE BE the Antichrist?"
Notice that's a question and not a statement. This he didn't call Trump the Antichrist. Try harder. You only make @TuckerCarlson even bigger so thank you
English
What an amazing clip.
This is the essence of Tuckerism.
NYT asks him why he called Trump the Antichrist.
He says he never said it.
NYT shows a clip.
Tucker says he doesn’t know what the Antichrist is.
Jesus Christ.
What a snivelling coward.

@CovfefeAnon What if you have a 2 year old child and you are worried they will pick blue? What if you are the deciding vote that kills them?
English
This twitter classic "red button / blue button" [everyone who picks blue dies unless more than 50% do; everyone who picks red lives] question is cursed but we've learned a lot about people since it went around on the timeline the last time
First to get this out of the way - there is zero actual reason to push blue - none - there is no "payoff to cooperation" being modeled since the payoff on offer - not dying - is the same for both choices. The only rational reason to pick blue is that you *hope* less than 50% of people pick blue so you can end your life and escape the person who is putting you in contrived hypotheticals for his own amusement
With that out of the way - what we've learned in the 2 years since this hit the timeline the first time is that many, many people are simply next token predictors and when they see this example they say they will pick the "cooperative" choice (which isn't actually that!)
We have also learned that when confronted with the stupidity of this position, they will simply costlessly double down and "argue" about it forever rather than admit error
Really, the question is extremely revealing
vittorio@IterIntellectus
why would anyone even press blue?!?
English
@LinkofSunshine The question says “everyone” chooses a button. That includes toddlers. Do you want to kill half of them?
English
“Oh I pressed the kill myself button so now you also have to press the kill yourself button to save me from my decision 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺”
Just don’t press the god damn kill yourself button???
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@AliceFromQueens @johnarnold He’s probably right that it would lead to disaster if it happened, but not for 20-30 years
English
Deferring pension contributions is the Pandora's box of municipal finance, where a seemingly harmless action unleashes a legacy of complications. Once that seal is broken, NYC will start the descent into the same liability-fueled spiral that has hollowed out so many other cities.

@prcieply @AaronBlake So he keeps bluffing and Iran keeps calling his bluff. Embarrassing
English
@AaronBlake If you had half a brain or we’re being honest, you would realize that he’s trying to avoid destroying the countries entire economy and infrastructure which he can do in a couple days.
English
Five times, Trump has set a deadline for Iran.
That deadline has been extended every time, despite Iran not doing the thing Trump demanded.

@eshaLegal The USSR was allied with Nazi Germany until June 1941. The invasions you are highlighting were done in coordination with Nazi Germany under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, they were not liberations!!!
English
Lol. Liberating countries from Nazi rule is an "attack"

For those wondering why NATO exists and why countries want to join the defensive alliance.
English
Every foreign policy genius who spent a decade collecting paychecks to tell us Iran was untouchable just watched a real estate developer from Queens reopen the waterway that moves a third of the world's oil.
The credential class should be embarrassed into silence.

@PittsburgWizard @mattyglesias Why does he support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine then?
English
@mattyglesias I think he just applies international law equally. Calling it campism because the imperialist country uses international law as a cudgel against any country hurting multinational’s rights to plunder is reductive and factually wrong.
English
> The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.
Hasan Piker is a freak and dog torturer but I now think that's accurate. As of 2026 safe to say only the Balts benefited from it. Otherwise a disaster from Lviv to Dushanbe.

@Samuel_Gregson Bret is a loon, but the “basement dweller” thing doesn’t really work because he is a married man doing well financially.
There’s also nothing wrong with living in a basement

Modern moon missions should be used to satisfy clueless, basement dwelling nutcases like Bret.

Bret thinks the moon landing deniers have a serious case and it's a shame NASA didn't use the Artemis mission to finally collect real evidence that we did go to the moon in 1969

@radicalPoli0 @revenant_MMXX The incompetence of the Trump administration launching this war without a plan for the response everyone has known Iran would have for decades

@revenant_MMXX how do you view this as anything other than a hilarious headline about their incompetence? are you kidding?

What's the cope for this one? Is the Based MAGAcock Non-Retard Right thing to just keep pretending the strait is open and we "won?"

@OswinGK @OleGriersy I have lived in several major and minor US cities and this is possible in all of yhrm
English
@OleGriersy This is actually (the quoted post) a fair reason to like NY compared to another large city (in the US). In most cities you have to drive to your work, so you have to drive back home.
English
@OswinGK @OleGriersy You can do this in most US cities. I have lived in Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison WI, and Seattle. It’s definitely possible in all of them
