@wil_da_beast630 A decent percentage of this has to be to create content and drive ratings in Podcastistan

If you read the replies to this tweet and the one above it, the people accusing Trump of "GENOCIDE, MUUUUUURDER!!!" for tough tough this morning are now accusing him of "defeat" for signing a two-weak negotiating deal that gives Iran some control over Hormuz.
Would you prefer he HAD just butchered the enemy, as we easily could have...and as you panicked about three hours ago? At some point - after the pilot rescue, the sinking of Iran's entire Navy, etc - it has to occur to everyone that about 85% of these people are internal enemies who cheer vs the West no matter what happens.
Right?
Wilfred Reilly@wil_da_beast630
I agree that we should have brutalized Iran even more, to cut a harder deal on the Strait, btw. Do you think that a single US leftist, crocodile-tearing up about "the genocide of every war!!!" would have agreed with that point two hours ago?

@asimahmed @NianticSpatial Very nice! I’m interested in looking into this to see how it can be implemented into construction/building workflows, either via an app/website, or even VR. The 360 cameras (and now 360 drones) pack so much value

Maybe it’s because I’m in academia, but the excesses of the progressives were more widespread and institutionalized, and aggressively pushed into society by media/social media. To whereas the the right seems to be coming from a relatively small number of influencers/podcasters.
Add that, along with messaging/marketing campaigns waiting to be queued up, it is impossible for me to see anything organic with the push from the Woke Right (or Grift Right)
English
Woke Right is basically socially conservative socialism. Ironically, it's just as progressive as the Woke Left, but by different means.
English
@walterkirn @SteveSkojec Why does it seem like these things seem to naturally fall inside of the 3-act framework?
English
If I have one message to impart in my commentary on "politics" etc it's that you must understand we are in the hands of dramatists and novelists who don't announce themselves as such. Doesn't matter. Their tale-telling can be analyzed fruitfully anyway, by the basic rules of literary criticism.
If it walks like like a TV series or a novel...

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: THE 4-DAY MIRACLE, or How MWEG and a 500-Org Coalition Weaponized Charlie Kirk's Assassination 🚨 1,400 people. 20+ organizations. 3 professionally moderated panels. 4 days after an assassination. Does this sound organic to you? September 14, 2025 (a Sunday, no less) the "Dignity Over Violence" zoom goes live. The coalition's central resource was a website called turntoward[.]us registered by Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) ONE DAY after Charlie Kirk was shot dead at UVU. Registrant email: internal.support@mweg.org "Turn Toward." Now say "Turning Point." Did they name the campaign after the dead man's organization to advance their own political agenda? I'm going to reverse-engineer how you mobilize 20 NGOs in 4 days... because you CAN'T. Not unless the infrastructure was already built. I dare you, @mormonweg , to explain how these receipts are "absolutely false." As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

It’s a variation of what Scott Adams called Laundry List Persuasion. It takes rhetorical skills to pull it off in interviews.
Dave Smith is the final boss of this technique. Kent has the status and credibility, so he just needs to push the pace and it works. Dave Smith isn’t a combat veteran and hasn’t had any important government jobs, so he needs to do more. Smith uses the semi-yelling pleading voice, and mixed with the barrage of talking points, it’s a formidable tactic.
The other important red flag with Kent is how little he actually says. He takes the claims about 75% of the way there, then stops short of substantiating the claim and frames it as “just asking questions”, letting the listener connect the dots.
The truth is usually easy to understand. If somebody is overloading you with speed, immaterial details, or if what they are saying is confusing or difficult to follow, that’s usually a situation where the person doesnt have the truth on their side and is trying to control and manipulate the exchange.
English
One of the things that stands out after listening to a number of Joe Kent's interviews, is that he actually sounds credible...he's not, but he pulls it off using the gish gallop trick which is similar to what Dave Smith does
For those unfamiliar: the Gish gallop is when someone overwhelms you with a rapid-fire barrage of low-quality but well-crafted arguments. It’s designed so that if you’re hearing it for the first time, you can’t possibly refute them all on the spot
And these arguments don't even have to be false. Usually they are misleading, missing context or cherry picked...and always cleverly crafted/smoothly delivered
The only way to combat this is to prepared and dismantle each one quickly. This is how Coleman Hughes took apart Dave Smith during his interview
Most interviewers don’t prep for this....so to the average, impartial listener who’s tuning in cold, Joe Kent comes off as a guy who seems to know what he’s talking about
English
@ConceptualJames I didn’t agree with you when you first started bringing it up. I do now. I’m just not sure how much of it is actual belief vs a grifting opportunity that emerged - both are bad. You saw around that corner.
You were right and predicted what we are seeing now.

In February last year, I explained to Winston Marshall what "Woke" means and why it applies to a "Woke Right," including Tucker Carlson, in particularly lucid terms.

This is probably the reality of the situation.
With only about 30% of players drafted in the first round getting a 2nd contract (even lower odds for subsequent rounds), drafting for need, or trading out of blue chip player territory is every bit as risky as taking Love. If you can get a difference maker, to draft him. Then fill needs in FA.
Also, all teams have needs and areas they would like to upgrade. You can’t address everything all at once. They will need to wait for some things, like every other team
English
@BoBrack can the Arizona Cardinals draft Jeremiah Love 3rd overall?
Let’s check:
bad team? -> yes
super star outside mcbride? -> no
franchise qb in this draft? -> no
OL worth taking at 3? -> no
teams willing to move up to 3? -> no
best player in the draft? -> yes
conclusion: yes
English
I wouldn’t be worried about Bain, but arm length is absolutely a factor for an OT. The thing about missing on an OT is you can move them inside, which will be where Fano eventually settles in.
Without a top OT worthy of the 3 pick, you take the best talent. You can fill needs in FA.
Focusing on need, or what seems like it might be a better long-term option, is actually more of a gamble than drafting Love, who is probably the best player in the draft. A lot of things need to happen for a player just to get a 2nd contract. I think the league average is teams will resign about one of their draft picks to a second deal. If you can get a dynamic RB you draft him.
Things change in a hurry in the NFL. In just about every season, some team goes from worst to first in their div. You need a few impact players w/ good cap management and you are in the hunt.
English
@albeprod @ClancysCorner Arm length for defensive lineman doesn’t matter nearly as much as it does for tackles. Bain makes up for his arm length with his strength, athleticism, elite bend ability, run stopping ability, and versatility. He can lineup anywhere on the line and generate pressure.
English
Arizona Cardinals fans seem to be in an existential crisis of choosing between what would be "exciting" for 2026 and what would actually make the roster better from a foundational level with actual proof tied to it.
English
I find it interesting that some people think you shouldn’t draft a player at a certain position because the team drafted a player at that same position in the 3rd round a year earlier.
When you are picking in the top 3, you need to come away with a blue chip difference maker. Plug needs later in the draft and in FA. Take the best talent and then figure it out.
When they passed on Adrian Peterson, Edgerrin James, Marcel Shipp, and JJ Arrington were on the roster. Imagine going into that draft and saying, “we don’t need Peterson because we have 3 backs under contract, and that’s too high to draft an RB”.
English
I hope the Cardinals don't choose to die on that hill with Trey Benson.
Of course give him a chance to get healthy and compete but if it's speed that they're after, there are plenty fast RBs in the draft that might be more durable
Blake Allen Murphy@blakemurphy7
One more Cardinals tidbit…hard to see them taking Love at 3 if they already are looking at Benson and a veteran…
English
I thought there would be a bunch of lawsuits from the families of kids that were swept up in the hysteria and were mutilated or hormonally altered. There have been a few but not in the numbers I expected.
I thought Big Law would make the trans stuff on minors so risky, that malpractice insurance would be unaffordable and the legal costs so high that it would shut down the operation.
Right now Trans is profitable (surgeries, drugs, therapy, specialized long term care). Until it’s too expensive, this doesn’t stop.

The political left wants the age of consent for sex and car rental to be ~26, but the age of consent for self-castration and Presidential voting to be like 15.
Any logic there, or just rank amorality?
Curtis Scoon@CurtisScoon
Democrats are now pushing for the voting age to be lowered to 16. The more clueless voters the better.
English
The more I use xAI's new Grok 4.20 and its completely visible council deliberation process during response generation, the clearer it becomes that transparency—from an epistemic standpoint—needs to become the gold standard for all AI models.
Anything less than that moving forward is a detriment to both users and AI alignment as a whole.
English
When I hear these silly hot takes, I wonder if it’s an unwillingness to accept the biological reality of sex differences, or if they are trying to argue that women doing most of the child rearing makes a society matriarchal.
Also, there have been bottlenecks in history where humans nearly went extinct, possibly as low as 5,000 worldwide, and presumably under the thumb of the matriarchy.
If extinction is the concern, and humanity was closer to extinction under the matriarchy, we have our answer.
English
@designmom Sounds like you know less than nothing about human evolution, human civilization, human history, or current culture.
English
I find this all very interesting. It’s like whatever evidence there is (depositions, flight records, etc), it is completely superseded by emotionally-charged moral panic.
Clearly the Dems and Trump’s political enemies were trying to use the story as a cudgel. When the loudest people never cared enough to mention the story until they could use it, that should be a significant clue that a narrative is being pushed and the people whipped up in a frenzy are doing the dirty work.
Massie and MTG went from being not interested to level 10.
English
At least @ComicDaveSmith now admits he was "a little over his skis" when he accused Trump of covering up a "giant child rapist ring" at the Charlie Kirk summit last summer. Because he has no clue how many children were "raped." Justifying my potential murder: less impressive
Michael Tracey@mtracey
It's official: @ComicDaveSmith says he won't debate me, because the "appropriate reaction" to my views on the Epstein matter are to call me a pedophile, and then kill me. He clarifies that he's not explicitly advocating my murder, but that it would be "appropriate" to murder me
English
The obvious problem with stats regarding illegal alien crime rates (in addition to timeframe), other than the data not usually being recorded - is how actual policing is done.
When police arrive to investigate a crime, people without IDs, names/SS#, addresses, next of kin, work history, history in community, etc…, are a lot harder to track and arrest than a regular citizen would be.
English
I mean, first - as a stats prof and pretty good one - the claim there is due very very heavily to lower reporting rates and the non-recording of immigrant status in sanctuary jurisdictions. Immigrants have also been here much less time on average.
But, it also doesn't matter. EVERY crime committed by an illegal alien is one that would not have happened if he were not here. My numbers are basic mathematical extrapolation. If you assume a mostly male population of 8,000,000 and any MR around the US norm - and track over four years - you are going to get at bare minimum "hundreds" of murders.
I'm not going to argue all day, but saying you favored admitting the 8,000,000 illegals not for some niche personal ethical reason, but because you're just all about "the law" and "enforcing the law" is really beyond absurd, man.
English
Nahbro.
The actual center-right argument here, which I'd guess is the 55+% majority view, goes something like:
"The systemic violation of law (almost certainly) and long-standing norms (certainly) around serious principles like the First Safe Country and No Economic Migrants rules of asylum resulted in the admission of 8,000,000 illegal migrants during the last Presidential administration ALONE - and hundreds if not thousands of murders of beloved country-men.
This was WORSE than the use of tough policing techniques to remove these and other illegals.
Dan McClellan@maklelan
"The murder (that was swiftly prosecuted) by an undocumented person of someone I never knew justifies the government's programmatic violation of the law & the constitutional rights of citizens & non-citizens alike, up to & including murder" is one stupid fucking bootlicker take.
English
Seems like the Level 10 Epstein hysteria some on the right have been convinced of, is similar to the gender hysteria on the left. Do they believe, or is this a right wing virtue signal?
If you say Epstein probably didn’t eat babies and run a pedo right for the global elites, you are a boot-licking monster
English
Good for @mtracey for being willing to say this when few others will.
Michael Tracey@mtracey
Here's one thing nobody wants to admit: Jeffrey Epstein was highly intelligent, well-read, charismatic, skillful at various complicated endeavors -- yes, including his money-management business -- and a lot of smart people genuinely enjoyed his company. I'm sorry, but if everyone from Steve Bannon, to Noam Chomsky, to Alan Dershowitz, to Marvin Minsky -- as well as all manner of other academics and scientists at the top of their fields -- found him intellectually stimulating, praised his intellect, and appreciated the intellectual opportunities he was able to facilitate, it's just stupid not to acknowledge this. In fact, it's an impediment to any legitimate search for the truth to regard him solely through the prism of some spectacular world-historic mega-villain, Hitler and Satan combined, pedo predation incarnate, or whatever. And no, to acknowledge this is not to endorse literally everything he ever did in his entire life. It's using reason and evidence to best understand what actually went on here, rather than just blithering hysteria. And of course, the internet much prefers the latter.
English
Hard to look past the refusal of naming names. The last thing I would want is for some powerful billionaire to want to keep me from ever going public.
Unless, they don’t want to name a billionaire and have it turn out they were never on the island. It would be better to wait for a detailed list of names and other info, adding tremendous credibility to any claim. Not saying that’s why they won’t do it, but assuming they are looking for money, that would explain their refusal to name names.

I have no coding background and have been using Copilot in Codespace (with Opus 4.6 (showed up yesterday and cleared multiple sticking points), ChatGPT 5.2 Codex, Grok Fast Code), and have it linked to my backend supabase/AWS. It has been incredible.
I have a site that’s live, signup/subscribe/Stripe, a file sharing folder system, and am adding all the features I want. If I knew what I was doing, it would be even better
