Finished lunch. Kids wanted snacks.
6y/o Son: Got yogurt. Sat at the table.
2y/o Daughter (Twin A): Got blueberries. Sat at the table.
2y/o Daughter (Twin B): Got grapes. Sat at the table.
4y/o Son: Got a carrot. Put it in his mouth. Got on all fours. Neighed like a horse & asked someone to feed it to him.

@LumpyTheCook Updated gameplay probably. That part is rough after all these years. Better graphics wouldn’t go amiss too.

No clue what Mass Effect could do to make itself more “accessible” than it already is. It’s one of the most mainstream-friendly sci fi series ever made, to a detrimental level even

Mass Effect TV show ordered to rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers" eurogamer.net/mass-effect-tv…

@paleonormie These same people also hate the behavior of publicly traded companies, I think they have no idea this would make it 10x worse.
English
@LookAtMyMeat1 Especially when you realize that was the entire reason that they had no idea where it was. All the guys doing the study were circumcised originally.

@DAKKADAKKA1 You gotta admit it wasn’t a terrible idea though, it just turned out terribly
English
Lmao it was so stupid for schools to switch to computers during Covid. It messed up a whole generation of kids.

Sweden is reversing its digital-first schools. They're spending over $137 million on physical textbooks and novels for better reading and focus. Smartphones will also be banned nationwide in schools from this autumn.

@chriswithans Its easy to ignore what you don’t want to see, especially if you don’t have any idea that things could be better.
English
There really is this very-specific genre of online liberal who thinks everything is great in California and the problem is just the messaging. It's surreal.

An ambitious state-run high-speed rail project linking Los Angeles and San Francisco hasn’t stayed on track. 60 Minutes reports on the costly struggle to bring high-speed rail to the United States, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

@romanhelmetguy I love how dedicated europe is to their own downfall. I have never seen a nation work so hard against itself.
English
Europe has more shale gas deposits than the USA, they simply made it illegal to extract it.

@upstatefederlst And all their expenses must be paid for by the US taxpayer

This is the whole game. Why wouldn't it be? The litigated position of the judiciary is "Democrats can handwave a billion people into the US and Republicans must give each of them an individual proceeding. While they are here, any children they have are automatically citizens."
Omar Jimenez@OmarJimenez
“We’re just waiting for that president to go." In southern Mexico, I met a woman who initially tried to get to the United States but had her CBP One appointment cancelled when President Trump took office. Now she’s waiting. “After that, we’ll try again."

@kenzietuff For whatever reason its become common to treat grown women like 16 year old girls, fairly independent but also not responsible for any of those actions.
English
“Women are so strong and educated that if their husband left or passed away they could never figure out how to survive” ??? Do these people even read what they write?
Jane Caro@JaneCaro
Many women do not want to ‘stay home’. It’s boring, repetitive and you are an unpaid servant. It also predisposes you to poverty if your husband gets bored & dumps you. Also, women have outperformed men in education for a century. Maybe you guys should stay home.

@edmundmcmillen Summon zombies, any variant. Could be great solo, but in team settings tends to just be a pure liability for almost no gain.

ok give me your top 5 weakest abilities in mewgenics, not counting collarless ones.

@extradeadjcb They don’t have to. They can still live in california for all the benefits and simply move their tax residence to florida.
English
The tech billionaires could buy California's entire election system - both sides of every race - at trivial personal expense if they were willing to coordinate at all

How much Chamath cares about this:

@ChristianHeiens Conservatism exists to conserve democrat victories.
English
Thanks for confirming that Conservatism is only capable of conserving things that will eventually destroy this country.
We already knew that, but it feels good to see someone such as yourself finally admit that Conservatism is the pawl to Progressivism's ratchet.
David French@DavidAFrench
Populists ask, "What has conservatism ever conserved?" Well, it's about to conserve birthright citizenship.
English
@brianknotts Because another reading of this means that everyone who steps foot on US soil is instantly a permanent citizen, which is insanity.
English
If "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" simply means "diplomats," why didn't they just say that? I just can't get past that question.
English
Regular reminder that Curtis Yarvin's prediction that the Progressives may well go to "1 Billion Americans" is very credible.
Election Wizard@ElectionWiz
KBJ: "If I steal a wallet in Japan, I am subject to Japanese laws…in a sense, it's allegiance."

Yeah imagine if instead of giving a billion dollars to NGOs to teach "WHITE = RACIST MAYO MONKEY" in schools, McKenzie Bezos had spent that money investing in a new for profit housing developer.

@mattyglesias The argument I hear from most very wealthy people is that giving to charity is *materially less effective at helping people* when compared to investing in for-profit companies building amazing products for consumers (which better improve lives overall).

@FoolOfD Taxes are just a punishment you inflict on people you don’t like
English
It really takes all the willpower you have to resist the urge to drop the MMT truke that taxes are money removed from circulation and that government spending is funded ex nihlio at the moment of spending when somebody says their taxes are "paying" for something.
English
@StefanMolyneux I would argue its the opposite. The elites have deluded themselves into thinking they don’t need the plebs, because there is no future they want more.
English
The average NPC hasn't understood that the elites don't need them anymore.
AI and robotics replace all but the most intelligent.
Nothing else matters over the next decade.
They view most of us as a disposable biomass.

@extradeadjcb Her opinions would be unorthodox, even if you let her define what orthodox was however she wanted.
English
Her position is pretty much always an orthodox interpretation of the 1964 Constitution, just expressed in unusually simple & forthright terms
MyFitnessFeelings@fitnessfeelingz
Jackson is my favorite Supreme Court justice. Her unrelenting vulgar stupidity reveals the absurdity of some star chamber re-re-re-interpreting itself & telling us it’s the law of the land.

@jonkay Yes, and americans are indigenous to the moon as the first humans to set foot there.
English
apparently, the moon is now unceded indigenous territory
The Walrus@thewalrus
The moon has long been a shared locus of imagination and significance for Indigenous peoples. With the return of lunar missions, it is now a frontier for industry. Writer Michelle Cyca explores the economic and colonial logics shaping this transformation. thewalrus.ca/with-the-artem…

@CheeseForEvery1 Fun fact: the constitution doesn’t apply to anyone born after the constitution was ratified. After all, the framers never met them personally.
English
And the First Amendment doesn’t apply to the internet and the Second Amendment doesn’t cover the AR-15. After all, the Framers never conceived of these things.

The Supreme Court’s debate today: What did people who have been dead for 150 years intend for their law to mean for a modern situation they never conceived could ever occur?
