@DanielDiMartino Had David Duke won the 1991 Louisiana gubernatorial runoff, no living Republican president (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or Bush 41) would’ve done anything like this with him.

Well now we know what Obama thinks of the marxist leninist takeover of america.

Mamdani and Obama sing “Wheels on the Bus” with some very cute kids. Obama declines to weigh in on whether New York or Chicago pizza is better.

@prettycritical This shit where people act like rice cookers are lazy/excessive and not in billions of Asian households where folk know something about rice.

Graph of life expectancy of various animals in the wild vs. captivity.
Livestock aside it is clearly the better deal. (I don't think it is terribly likely UBI recipients will be raised for cannibal consumption).

Domestic animals live longer and generally happier and more fulfilling lives than wild animals.

Hasan Piker is an authoritarian. So is Netanyahu. If liberal Zionists want to survive, they must fight both. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

@jonathanchait That’s probably why you’ll perish, revisionist zionism and antizionism are the only games in town.

Steph Curry is still much closer to being a Top 5 player than people act like.
He's made that clear all year when he's been healthy.
Still one of the very best offensive players ever. What an unbelievable performance. Just a magical player.

@ErrorTheorist That means philosophy has changed, since it previously was undifferentiated from physics.
English
Here’s a paper arguing that there is no progress in philosophy. The author claims that if Aristotle visited a modern university, he would be amazed by modern physics but feel at home in the philosophy classes, since the debates haven’t fundamentally changed. What do you think?

@LFriszt They were already ready to throw him under the bus, but “he did everything I wanted and it wrecked the economy and empire” requires too much honesty, hence they take the first available, stupidest pretext.

If it's the very first commandment, it's probably not one of the more important ones.

@NoahArbit Are Americans subsidizing North Korea and Iran with tax dollars and intelligence sharing?
English
We don’t talk about any other country this way. No one identifies as anti-Iran, anti-North Korea. We oppose their rogue regimes, policies, governments. Calling yourself “anti-Israel,” is just dog whistling that it’s illegitimate for Jews to have a state.

@NoahArbit To have a state where Jews have more rights than non-Jews is illegitimate, yes.

@LFriszt Analogous in some ways to Ukraine’s alluding to maybe some day joining NATO but getting no guarantee.

Iranian leaders are suicidally fixated on the idea of enrichment as a negotiating chip. I've tried so hard putting myself in their shoes but I just keep scratching my head.
It has NEVER been shown to work and has never brought anything but destruction and misery on themselves.
Waqas@worqas
You either make a nuke or not make a nuke. If you're not making a nuke, then fuck it and give it all up, if you're making a nuke then make the fucking nuke. Iran keeps fucking itself for the "right" to enrich Uranium, which is meaningless.

look how quickly these demonic racist republicans cry when you retaliate with a fraction of the cruelty they spit out on a daily basis! this is why i'll always prefer a vulgar person who fights these monsters than someone who'll be civil with them!

I was born in the United States. My parents were born in the United States. Two of my grandparents were born in the United States more than 100 years ago. Neither of the other two were born in Israel. I never even visited Israel until I was in my 30s. Hasan Piker is the child of two Turkish Muslims who engaged in birth tourism so he could become “American,” after which he was immediately taken to Turkey and spent his entire childhood. Piker said “America deserved 9/11.” “KiII the motherf*ckers. Let the streets soak in their red, capitalist bIood!" “If you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill @SenRickScott” He has campaigned alongside Representatives @RepSummerLee @RoKhanna @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib @ZohranKMamdani @AOC and @BernieSanders This is the Democrat Party today. @DanaBashCNN @jaketapper

@zachdcarter I must have missed something in history class. When was the Strait of Hormuz ours to cede?
English
is it the Strait of Hormuz undermining the Pax Americana or endless stupid American wars x.com/nfergus/status…
Niall Ferguson@nfergus
"For the US, ceding control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran in 2026 would not be quite as swift a humiliation as the Anglo-French failure to wrest control of the Suez Canal from Egypt in 1956. But the consequences for the credibility of the Pax Americana would be similar to Suez’s consequences for the Pax Britannica."

@MaxAbrahms Are you stupid? Where is this military success?
English
The main takeaway from the Iran war is that American domestic politics is the greatest impediment to US military success. Our military put on a clinic but American constituencies have done everything possible to prevent a win. China is smiling watching America’s pundit imbeciles.

Fascinating how Araghchi has rapidly become some kind of online sex symbol. Not sure what to make of it. He's a fairly ordinary-looking man in his 60s.
