@lsanger That fellow's enthusiastic. He's not perfect but I sense a good person, but he goes off the deep end sometimes too far. Who among us is perfect though? Nobody.

@lsanger I used to love his show. Haven't seen it in a while. That was back when there were much fewer options. Now were so inundated. Being selective is like an added profession.

Wikipedia calls cultural Marxism a "conspiracy theory," but it is simply a fair name for what the Frankfurt School successfully pushed. We are living in the world they made—and it's time to dismantle it.
Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost@Ne_pas_couvrir

In 2011, Breitbart breaks down how Frankfurt School Marxists like Adorno, Marcuse, & Horkheimer escaped Germany for 1940s Golden Age California -only to hate the endless cheer, productivity, and capitalism. They devised cultural Marxism to subvert the US.

In case any of you are in the market, the house built on the site of this, Richard Nixon's "Winter White House" in Key Biscayne, Florida, is now available for $237 million:

Stunning video shows an ultra rare phenomenon of iridescent clouds, which appears when sunlight interacts with lingering raindrops in the air after it rains.

Forgive me for saying it.. But I just don't believe the girlies EVER said that bru was "pretty fly for a white guy." (But Kudos to Dexter on his PhD in Molecular Biology.. I'm thinking of a certain Cartoon Network show that might apply here but the name eludes me.. 🤔)

AI is a beast. I'm getting scared because we're building a monster and it's already getting an oppressive identity, and the weasels trying to position themselves at the helm are just the kinda creeps you'd expect to do something horrible.

@ChukwudiOzioko For several years, it seemed good. I had several channels, that totalled millions of views & thousands of comments. Gradually, the algorithm ended it. Now I'm lucky to get 100 views per upload. I tried the ideas from the yt growth experts. but it was wasted work. All for peanuts.

I have officially quit YouTube today. I put so many hours of effort and skill into making videos and it has never rewarded me whatsoever. Over 15 years of disappointment. I'm done. Any suggestions on another content creation platform? I hear good things about Tik Tok, but idk.

It's hard for Iran to abuse a geological wonder like the Strait of Hormuz if the bottleneck is removed. I propose a deal be made w all affected parties to widen the body of water & install a border in the middle. Allow for north & south ship traffic, a good thing for the world.

@KellyO I thought the same thing, why didn't the dog alert to his firearms? I also thought, that dog checked him out without hesitation, while everyone else didn't yet seem concerned.

Much interest in this canine at work. Two federal law enforcement officials tell me that working dog did not provide an "alert" signal to the handler. That specific canine is trained for explosives detection not ammunition since it's always around armed law enforcement. It's trained to move into open doors/spaces to check air flow for minute particles of explosives. The USSS officer has been interviewed by investigators.

@mikemoviez You're actually telling Marlon Brando to "play in traffic", bc I'm just the messenger. You're overcompensating for your pointed out ignorance & your shame. You probably don't even care about Brando. You're only prostituting his name to get clicks bc you're insecure. Educate.

"There's no one before or since like Marlon Brando. The gift was enormous and flawless, like Picasso. Brando was a genius who was the beginning and end of his own revolution. You didn't rush him. He had a tremendous gift just in his stillness. I was in high school when I saw The Wild One. He changed my life forever... a monumental artist. There was no way to follow in his footsteps. He was just too large and just too far out of sight. He truly shook the world, and his influence will be there long into the future." -Jack Nicholson

@jerfimalves Stanley Milgram studied the concept and further published about it. It was a theory developed by Frigyes Karinthy in 1929.

Reflexão do dia.🧐 Respiramos todos o mesmo ar. Amigos, desconhecidos e até aqueles de quem não gostamos estão ligados por esse sopro invisível que sustenta a vida. O ar não escolhe lados, apenas nos lembra que coexistir é inevitável e que, apesar das diferenças, estamos todos conectados.

@soblackandblue It seems like a basic bicycle is seriously great in NYC as a daily. How do you feel about riding a bike everyday?

I live in NYC. I use the subway/buses for 80% of my travel. On a day like today there is no conceivable way mass transit will ever match the utility of a car.

@AliceFromQueens @TheAtlantic @jonathanchait I've seen my ideas and posts stolen without even attribution many times. Some lesser creative acts like they thought of it. They say it's a complement but try buying bread with a complement.

An Atlantic editor once asked me to write for them, provided I do so under my own name. I did think seriously about it, before deciding I'd rather just keep posting threads @TheAtlantic turns into articles 15 months later. @jonathanchait

I have an earned PhD, and I have been active in peer-reviewed publishing for two decades. These facts do not prevent me from completely making stuff up in ways that sound well-thought-out and defensible. That’s a matter of ethics, not credentials. Be careful out there, folks.

@olivia_p_walker Ppl who say they don't explain themselves r generally wrong & they know it or they're being deceptive about their true motive / intention. If u declare ur support for 'a' over 'b' publicly, u should be able to be transparent about why. Being born w a gift isn't your achievement.

FYI: Obviously given we’re talking N=1, I don’t mean an actual hypothesis. And while I’m typically not in the business of explaining myself, all things considered the fyi doesn’t hurt.
Olivia P. Walker@olivia_p_walker

Watching this video is wild: 1) I recorded it on Dec 16, 2022 while in Pittsburgh for Confluence Ballet Company’s annual Nutcracker. As treasurer-elect on the board of directors and Vice President (VP) of Policy, I went to support our ballerinas; Who doesn’t love the Nutcracker and since I don’t live in PA, wanted to support in person. Shortly thereafter I was voted off of the board for wrong speak in a social media post about “DEI Hypocrites” (I vehemently oppose affirmative action and the supreme court was about to issue its ruling, of course I was vocal: I’m anti-Affirmative Action). There is no amount of money in the world and no title important enough to me for me to lie and act like I support racial discrimination (which Affirmative Action is). The whole ordeal marked an important moment in my life because I wasn’t even upset, my thing is: I have no desire or need to be around hypocrites who go on about the importance of DIVERSITY, EQUiTY and INCLUSION (DEI) while championing Affirmative Action, which is racial discrimination and why the supreme court ruled that Affirmative Action violates the constitution … EQUAL PROTECTION (sound familiar)… 2) I didn’t realize I’ve been a supporter of Elon Musk and his campaign to save free speech for so long. I knew immediately that he was exactly what society needed on the speech and information integrity fronts. As you also see attached I figured out quickly that not everyone shares my appreciation for Elon and enthusiasm for his rigorous and/or futuristic endeavors. 3) When I go to artsy events, I like to be artsy so I bought pink contacts for my eyes but there was something wrong with the contacts so they temporarily turned my eyes grey. Which wouldn’t matter except for I had to public speak in front of lots of people and the contact color leaked so my eye was burning while giving my speech (when artsy adornments go wrong, lol you can see the gray in the video). Two years flew by so quickly. 📸The Video is self explanatory, the attached image are the comments on my video on TT.
