@aksharme Mark Twain said it best. "Give a man a reputation as an early riser and he can sleep 'til noon." Once Gandhi was proclaimed as chaste and nonviolent, he could rape and murder all he wanted with impunity. Evil is never so dangerous as when it is cloaked in piety and magnanimity.

@patcondell It's a legitimate question to wonder about. I guess that only a small percentage -- say half a % -- but around 10% have contemplated the honor killing bit. That's how the Islamic mind has been trained to work.

Whenever I see a Pakistani cricket crowd, thousands of Pakistani men together, I can’t help wondering how many of those guys have murdered their own sister for looking at a man the wrong way. Is that wrong?

@Saganismm A tribute to Carl Sagan. But why? Why not? Billions of reasons to remember dear Carl. deeshaa.org/2026/05/03/car…

"My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are — really and truly — still in existence somewhere. I wouldn't ask very much, just five or ten minutes a year, say, to tell them about their grandchildren, to catch them up on the latest news, to remind them that I love them. There's a part of me — no matter how childish it sounds — that wonders how they are. “Is everything all right?” I want to ask. The last words I found myself saying to my father, at the moment of his death, were “Take care.” Sometimes I dream that I'm talking to my parents, and suddenly — still immersed in the dreamwork — I'm seized by the overpowering realization that they didn't really die, that it's all been some kind of horrible mistake. Why, here they are, alive and well, my father making wry jokes, my mother earnestly advising me to wear a muffler because the weather is chilly. When I wake up I go through an abbreviated process of mourning all over again. Plainly, there's something within me that's ready to believe in life after death. And it's not the least bit interested in whether there's any sober evidence for it. So I don't guffaw at the woman who visits her husband's grave and chats him up every now and then, maybe on the anniversary of his death. It's not hard to understand. And if I have difficulties with the ontological status of who she's talking to, that's all right. That's not what this is about. This is about humans being human." — Carl Sagan

@elonmusk I am pleasantly surprised how good this parody is. Brilliantly done. I wonder if it is AI generated.

Banger 😂

@FAHayekSays FA Hayek was indeed in favor of private money. But he would not have supported any Ponzi scheme. BTC is a very sophisticated Ponzi scheme.

Hayek predicting crypto/Bitcoin in 1984: “I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government.” “We can’t do so violently—all we can do is, by some sly roundabout way, introduce something that they can’t stop.”

"Are you a socialist?" Sagan: "I believe that the government has a responsibility to care for the people." I love & admire Carl Sagan. But he got that wrong. The government is not a nanny. Children need care. Adults must provide for themselves. deeshaa.org/2026/05/03/car…

@Saganismm Hitchens lived a fairly short life but boy did he live! He smoked and drank and loved and partied and traveled and wrote and spoke and opined and debated and argued and made friends and enemies and delighted and infuriated and consoled and angered. (I shared a smoke with him.)

“To the dumb question ‘Why me?’ the cosmos barely bothers to return the reply: why not?” — Christopher Hitchens

@elonmusk Wakey, wakey, you gutless British. The Muslim gangs are raping your children.

The Heart Sutra radically deconstructs our ordinary way of perceiving reality. It teaches the doctrine of śūnyatā (emptiness): that all phenomena are empty of inherent, independent existence. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form . . . deeshaa.org/2026/05/01/hea…

Muslim migrant desecrate Mizuoka Hachiman Shrine in Kobe, Japan. These people are not satisfied with being able to follow their own religion. They also want to destroy every other religion and sacred place of Washing. That's exactly why they are hated everywhere in the world.

@HinduHate Learn to distinguish between hands and fingers. Learn English. It's a rich language. Everyone uses hands to eat. Some use forks and spoons, and other use their fingers. If you disapprove of using your hands, try your feet. You may be surprised.

Brown people eating with hands is "violation of social contract." White people eating with hands is "multi sensory dining."

@PsyGuy007 Islamic invaders that destroyed thousands of Hindu temples were powerful and ruthless. But Europe is powerful. Why are they allowing Muslim invaders to destroy churches? This is civilizational suicide. It is time that they woke up and annihilated the evil Islamic monster.

🚨 🇫🇷 ALERTE INFO : Elle a survécu à deux guerres mondiales mais aujourd’hui l’église Saint-Cyriaque de Montenach, construite entre 1884 et 1886, a été ravagée par un incendie ! Une soixantaine de pompiers sont intervenus, sans aucune victime. 🗣️ Pourquoi toutes les églises d’Europe brûlent alors que les mosquées restent debout ? 🧐

@gpooley @profstonge Also we should try the policy that Adam Smith approved of.

@profstonge If Professors had to co-sign the loans, the problem would disappear tomorrow. Hyundai offers a 5 years/60,000 miles Basic Warranty and a 10 years/100,000 miles Powertrain Warranty. Imagine if colleges competed to offer something similar.

Trump wants to end student loans for junk degrees. Taxpayers spend at least $60 billion a year on the 57% of degrees that lose money. And with AI coming, young people can't coast on a zero-skill sheepskin.

@FAHayekSays The important principle of subsidiarity applies in governance.

“I dream of all governmental functions performed by local units competing with each other for citizens.” — Friedrich Hayek

Periodic reminder. I am a 1st and 2nd Amendment fundamentalist. I will resist, with violence if needed, any attempt by the government to restrict my speech and my right to defend what's mine as I see fit. The government can go fu*k itself if it thinks it can enslave me. GFY.

On April 30, 1887 at the Royal Institution, British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856 – 1940) announced the discovery of a particle that is over 1,800 times lighter than a proton. The electron is involved in pretty much all our electronics. deeshaa.org/2026/04/30/hap…

“Nowhere is freedom more important than where our ignorance is greatest—at the boundaries of knowledge, in other words, where nobody can predict what lies a step ahead.” — Friedrich Hayek

@ATabarrok "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure." Trump is providing truckloads of manure. It could not be otherwise; the Democrats tilled the fertile fields that the Maga Republicans are sowing.

We are approaching Turkmenistan levels of idolatry.

@ATabarrok Absolutely. Mr King needs to brush up on his history. Without the help of the French, we'd still be property of the British crown.

Fine as a joke but in fact it was due to the French that we speak American.
