Almost Always Adam

@GalenNHarris The gas plant thing was a little cringe though.

We had a balanced budget under Kathleen Wynne and Charles Sousa btw

@ItIsHoeMath Lose the sash though.

Q: What would Jesus do? A: Get rid of the bankers through physical violence

Can someone show Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake the uber app?

@Jonathan_Blow @auderdy You sound Canadian

@auderdy It's just such a lost opportunity that SF is a complete dump. It could (and should) be a great city.

Today I was in an SF cafe with polished concrete floors feeling sad about leaving plush Vienna where I spent the past 6.5 weeks surrounded by beautiful historical architecture and eating complex cakes…but then in this cafe I met a dude building a hotel on the moon (right after I’d gotten a tour of my friend’s nearby office where his team just built a fully autonomous, electric truck). The majority of people in Vienna have never ridden and don’t believe self driving cars are real — since I’ve been back stateside I’ve basically only not driven in Teslas and Waymos Going from Vienna to SF feels less like taking a flight — it’s more like a Time Machine

@Protestia It's time to protest the protestants. You ladies are out of control.

There's a large segment of professing Christians who will nod their heads knowingly and even give a hearty 'amen' when a man shares his testimony and reveals he was a drug addict who was addicted to porn before he found Christ, and yet scowl, purse their lips, and cross their arms when a woman says the same thing.

@TrevorSheatz @RelatablewABS You didn't call her one. You pointed it out publicly for likes. This has nothing to do with the gospel. You have dishonored your wife.

@RelatablewABS Thank you so much for not just coming to our defense, but more importantly, to the defense of the gospel! We appreciate you, sister. 🙏🏼

The backlash to @TrevorSheatz’s viral X post has been HUGE. Some people responded saying, "I can't believe you just called your wife a wh*re." He did not call his wife that. You called his wife that. You called another man's wife that. You called a new creation— someone redeemed by Christ, sanctified, made new, and washed clean— a wh*re. That is on you. Not her husband. The hyper patriarchy bros who call themselves Christians out there who just want to take any opportunity not only to denigrate women, but to denigrate the work of the Gospel… it's just insane. It's a very obvious tenet of Christianity that you have become a new creation. Somehow that’s now being treated like it’s controversial?

@MeghanEMurphy And for some reason she could never keep a man.

Look, I'm no J Lo fan — I think most of her music and personality sucks — but if I can wear this at 56 I will x.com/dom_lucre/stat…

@ishtwts I think you wanted to post this on April 1st.

Python is slower than C++. Then why do Al companies use it to build the world's most powerful models?

@pearlythingz That's it.

This week the Christians have made it clear that they worship women and not God

@edmundmcmillen That's not how funny works.

@Hitchslap1 @VigilantFox Cognitive empathy tells me that Sam Harris is a liar.

@VigilantFox Sam Harris has become very unreasonable.

Sam Harris says his “friend” Joe Rogan has had a “f*cking awful” influence on society. “It’s unignorable at this point.” Harris says he’s reached out to Rogan privately about his “truly terrible” effect on culture, but Joe hasn’t responded. “I’ve tried to reach out to him privately, and he hasn’t responded. But I felt the need to say things about him publicly that I’m very uncomfortable saying about a friend.”

@Rianstone @OlenaRohoza Just a "talking to Americans" bit. It was funny back in the day.

@OlenaRohoza What the fuck? Are you stupid or is this a troll

“Mark Carney is now ranked among the top three presidents in Canada’s history. Do you agree with this ranking?” Yes or No?

@jkenney No. He ought to be arrested, interrogated, prosecuted, and convicted.

This explains a lot. I have known Michael Ma for 20 years. Something is not right here. Media should ask Ma if he discussed this hearing with anyone at the PRC Embassy, Consulate, or anyone in the United Front Work Department.

@r0ktech constexpr auto

which one are you ?

@Concern70732755 They didn't fall for anything. They want it.

It’s hard to believe that so many Canadians fell for this !!

Somebody's been passing notes in class

@anishmoonka This is why we tell people to grow up.

You’re 35. Someone raises their voice and suddenly you’re 7 years old again, sitting at the kitchen table, trying to disappear. Your brain is literally reverting to the age you were when the original wound happened. Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux at NYU found that your brain has a fear shortcut. Sensory information hits your amygdala (the brain’s alarm system) before it ever reaches the part that thinks logically. The alarm fires in about 12 milliseconds. Rational thought takes over 250. In someone carrying old trauma, the alarm wins every time. Your body reacts before your mind even knows what happened. Bessel van der Kolk’s team put trauma survivors in brain scanners and watched what happens during a flashback. Three things go wrong at once. The amygdala floods the body with stress hormones, preparing you to fight or run. The prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain that says “calm down, you’re safe, this is 2026,” goes quiet. And Broca’s area, the region that lets you put thoughts into words, shuts off entirely. Van der Kolk compared it to having a stroke. Trauma survivors sitting frozen and silent in emergency rooms aren’t choosing not to speak. The brain region for language has gone offline. The missing piece is the hippocampus. It’s the part of your brain that tags memories with a time and place, filing them as “this happened years ago.” Chronic stress hormones physically shrink it. MRI scans of PTSD patients consistently show this. When your hippocampus can’t do its job, your brain stops distinguishing a 20-year-old memory from something happening right now. That’s why a slamming door in 2026 can put you right back in a room from 1998. Your brain genuinely cannot tell the difference. The CDC ran the largest study on childhood trauma ever done. 64% of American adults report at least one adverse childhood experience. Those who had four or more were 12 times more likely to attempt suicide, develop depression, or struggle with addiction. The annual cost: $14.1 trillion. The good news: this isn’t always permanent. A study of PTSD patients found that after treatment, the hippocampus grew back by 4.6%. The part of the brain that files memories as “the past” can be rebuilt.

@Hitchslap1 They do understand. They just want your shit.

I honestly wish more people understood this.

@Hitchslap1 IQ is inherently cognitive so...

Important fact: IQ is positively correlated with cognitive empathy (ToM). Studies consistently find a significant positive correlation between IQ and scores on the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" Test.
