@RobbWiller Claude is better anyway and given that Anthropic actually showed a modicum of backbone under pressure from the Pentagon they seemed far more trustworthy even before this.

Whoa, what?

@Katahdin5270 @bluedoggeosh @Suge_Grits You could put a down payment on a house in Vermont for $1.75 back then 🤣 But seriously, implying that someone must be racist because they live in a predominantly white area has to be one of the stupidest arguments I've ever heard.

@Unsubstantive @bluedoggeosh @Suge_Grits 63 years ago Bernie paid a $1.75 fine and then fled to 99% white Vermont where he published gang rape fantasies. "put their body on the line"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bernie Sanders added my HBCU FAMU to his college tour in 2016 during the primary. He never came though, he cancelled and never said a word about it. Do you know who did show up? VP Joe Biden and President Bill Clinton to stump for Hillary. And people wonder why black people disdain Sanders. He doesn’t show up for them.

@bluedoggeosh @Suge_Grits How many other white politicians can say they've put their body on the line to fight for black equality? Who else got arrested protesting racial injustice? And the man gets smeared as a "racist" because he doesn't like reducing people to a single attribute. Sad.

@Suge_Grits What has he done since? Is this 1963?

@michelletandler @aleksandarfatic They fact check all original reporting, including the Kristof piece. It was published in the op ed section because he's a columnist.

@aleksandarfatic If it's true and they cover it in the real news section with fact checking I will end the strike

I receive articles from the New York Times almost daily. It appears to be the paper of record for at least a third of my friends. For the foreseeable future I'm on New York Times strike. Will not read a single article. Join me..?

@bhavaytyagi What's the alternative for PC users? PowerPoint would be fine if it had latex...

Unpopular opinion: Beamer presentations are ugly af. Please stop.

@RaleighWoodz @SenWhitehouse What are the opposing arguments, Bob? Show us the science that rebuts the claim the oceans are warming.

@SenWhitehouse What on earth qualifies you to say that? I'm certain you haven't got past the executive summaries, so i'm quite sure you aren't familiar with, say, opposing arguments, much less what the scientific method is. Why do we keep electing such absolute morons?

I’m on the Senate Floor preparing to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: our oceans are warming.

@Eve_Barlow Have you ever met a dog? They try to fuck everything, lmao. It's probably harder to train a dog *not* to commit sexual assault.

For the 1000th time. There is no scientific or behavioral evidence that dogs can be trained to commit sexual assault. Experts and dog behaviorists point to several biological and cognitive barriers that make this impossible. But go on with your desperate myths.

@TheWayOfWade @LeftyWinter You wrote: "...Biden got into office, closed pipelines, and allowed our offshore drilling leases lapse leading to an intentional shortage..." You were blaming high prices on reduced production but production never meaningfully decreased. Now do Iran. How is that not on Trump?

@Unsubstantive @LeftyWinter You’re sending me US oil inventories to discuss foreign oil assets when 90-95% of our oil consumption is domestic? Once again, do you know what you’re talking about?

“I don’t do politics.” Well, now you're doing $6 gas.

@TheWayOfWade @LeftyWinter That's not my understanding. Here's US oil production by year. Production never meaningfully decreased during Biden's presidency. Meanwhile, this 100% avoidable war with Iran is entirely Trump's fault. share.google/images/qsPJkj2…

Gas prices were high because Saudi Arabia (our “ally”) started an oil war with Russia to try and disrupt Gazprom’s monopoly over European gas and oil. They opened the flood gates and cut the petrol dollar so hard we gave out loans to keep people from going off our oil. Then Biden got into office, closed pipelines, and allowed our offshore drilling leases lapse leading to an intentional shortage of a resource we mass produce to the extent of being a net exporter. Do you not know what you’re talking about or are you gonna double down and just provide tribally dictated deflections?

@B_Proactv @PaulSorrentino3 Absolutely deranged take, lmao

@PaulSorrentino3 I spent half my life in the 20th century. It's too charitable to call her a liberal. She's a fascist.

aoc is not a leftist she’s a liberal no debate

@TheWayOfWade @LeftyWinter Gas prices were high in 2022 because Russia invaded Ukraine. They're high now because we invaded Iran. Which one of these situations is "self-inflicted?"

Highest national gas prices ever were in 2022 and entirely self-inflicted, also had the highest modern era consumer price index ever. Pretending to do politics and voting on the motive of “orange man bad” provided an objectively, tangibly even worse situation. Oh, and we spent exponentially more on a proxy war with Russia than we are in Iran so don’t bother with the shallow distraction pieces because it will ring hollow to anybody who’s informed.

@Wisdom_HQ Young people have no time to go to the beach anymore. They're too busy working all the time to pay off student loans.

What went wrong?

@Diana60475716 @allenanalysis Did you watch the clip?

@Unsubstantive @allenanalysis I doubt classified information had anything to do with it

A reporter asked JD Vance what he advised Trump before launching the Iran war. His answer: “I don’t want to go to prison.” Not classified. Not national security. Personal legal self-preservation.

@Iron_Heretic @jasonhickel @mehdirhasan It probably has to do with the fact that we've been randomly bombing the shit out of whatever country we please for the last 25 years. Do you think it could have something to do with that?

@jasonhickel @mehdirhasan How ironic that the opposite is true. Another example of the left inverting reality with the aim of destroying civilisation.

"Which country do you think poses the greatest threat to the world?" According to the new Democracy Perceptions Index report, the US is named as the top threat by people in 65 out of 84 of surveyed countries. In fact, the US is the top named threat even within the US itself.

@josephwrio @reason Left libertarians believe in civil liberties and individual protections, but disagree with right-libertarians on economic policy. I bet we would have some interesting conversations if we actually met irl. I tend to get along pretty well with libertarians of all stripes.

@josephwrio @reason That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. You are one person in a society of hundreds of millions and every person deserves to have input into how society is governed. AOC is a democratic socialist and democratic socialists are left-libertarians.

AOC wants to obfuscate the fact that she is a member of the ruling class with her own rags-to-Congress story. Don't buy it. Stand in solidarity with the billionaires she'd like to see the state grind into dust. reason.com/2026/05/08/con…

@xCaptainphoenix @Andrew_Nielson @ProudSocialist This is why the vast majority of historians agree that Nazism is a far-right ideology.

@xCaptainphoenix @Andrew_Nielson @ProudSocialist Nazism was imperialistic, it was nationalistic, it sought racial purity, and it opposed democracy. It rejected class-consciousness and Marxism of any kind. Its mistrust of finance was based almost exclusively on racial stereotypes about German Jewry.

Elon Musk called Hitler a socialist then Grok correctly debunks him by pointing out Hitler rejected Marxism and ran a fascist system that prioritized nationalism and private enterprise. Grok then explains socialism is class equality and worker ownership! Never deleting this app.
