@mark_carrigan @ThomsonPat Mistake to think Twitter is a medium for academic exchange. It's not, it's a madhouse, and everyone on it is mad, in both senses of word.

@lnTransit @NateLavi @MarioNawfal Why do you need a strong military if you can just appeal to morality? You haven’t thought this through. How old are you?

@colwight @NateLavi @MarioNawfal Christian teaching is not about pursuing power. Correct. It’s about following the Ten Commandments and honoring the lord our father. The point of a strong military is to defend yourself not to play demonic power games with innocent lives.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu is doing damage control after saying "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan" at a press conference, claiming strength and ruthlessness can overcome good. He now says he was quoting historian Will Durant. But the quote reveals exactly how he sees this war: morality is secondary to power. And that mindset explains a lot about what’s happened over the last three weeks...

@thebadstats There’s nothing worse than humanities or social science types thinking they understand it. Funny enough.

A few months ago, Warren Smith hadn't heard about the double slit experiment, but after watching some youtube videos about it, it really made him think. Then he even wrote about it in his book! Unfortunately, he seems fairly confused about it.

@lnTransit @NateLavi @MarioNawfal It’s you not understanding why this proves you wrong that suggests you’re retarded.

@colwight @NateLavi @MarioNawfal The world’s strongest. That’s why your eradication theory sounds retarded.

@lnTransit @NateLavi @MarioNawfal I don’t know. Does your country have an army, airforce, navy?

@colwight @NateLavi @MarioNawfal Who was trying to eradicate my country?

@lnTransit @NateLavi @MarioNawfal He didn’t say you, he said your country. I suspect you’re intellectually challenged. Not to worry.

@NateLavi @colwight @MarioNawfal Who was trying to eradicate me?

@skdh Much of QM draws ontological conclusions from epistemological consequences. But what is can’t be reduced to what is known.

The double slit experiment is the probably most misunderstood experiment ever. I have no idea who created the myth that if you 'look' at one of the slits, then the particles (photons/electrons) stop behaving as waves. It's wrong! They of course STILL behave as waves! Because particles are also waves, always. Photons and electrons make a self-interference EVEN ON A SINGLE slit. Don't believe it? Below an actual measurement from a laser diffracting on a single/double slit from Wikipedia. What happens if you measure which slit the particle goes through is that you get no interference between BOTH slits. And no, you don't need a conscious observer for this. Believe it or not, there have actually been experiments where they had people literally look at a double slit to see if that makes any difference and the answer is no, it does not. The entire mystery of the double slit is in the path of the particle TO the double slit. Because it seems that the particle must "know" whether it WILL be measured at one of the slits before it even gets there. It must "know" whether to go through both or just pick one. Seems like the future influences the past? Not really, it just means you have a consistency condition on the time evolution.

@CamillaBaker1 @zoecabina @Quillette Yes, looks very similar, although not enough whisky bottles on the shelves.

@colwight @zoecabina @Quillette That’s what I thought too!

Friday in the city with @Quillette. One of us is getting married this weekend 👀

@lnTransit @MarioNawfal Unfortunately states do. Tough life eh.

@colwight @MarioNawfal We don’t prioritize international politics over morality. That is demonic

@MLiamMcCollum He’s talking about America not Israel.

Man, when you've lost Konstantin… He defended all of Israel’s actions until basically yesterday

@OunkaOnX And how’s that international law going for everyone. You need to listen to him again. Plus Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah aren’t great respecters of international law. You all only appeal to it when it suits you.

Norman Finkelstein just schooled everyone on international law. Finkelstein citing Article 51: Iran is legally defending itself. The US and Israel are legally committing aggression. There's no debate

You feeling bad isn’t the issue. I don’t care what you do in terms of pronouns on a personal level, but be aware how this plays out in public. Media organisations referring to “she” when he’s clearly a “he”, and rape victims being forced to refer to their rapists as she when he’s obviously clearly a he,

@wesyang Um, I don't think misgendering people should be legally actionable, and I'm confused as to why you think that's a difficult question. I do think there should be a social taboo against it. I also don't particularly feel bad when sex offenders and opportunists get misgendered.

If I do a thread about a trans woman and call her "her", and you come in my thread and "correct" me and say "you mean him", I'm probably going to block you. Beyond expressing prejudice, you are being immature and uninteresting. It adds nothing to go into threads and say that.

@Microinteracti1 @CardilloSamuel Whether it’s AI or not, it’s got nothing on your hyperbolic nonsense commentary.

@CardilloSamuel Ok. I can’t verify the video. It’s all over the place. Might be ai.

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@DFVAPE @LordofCinder24 @SafetyNotorious @0hour1 And you don’t understand free speech.

@LordofCinder24 @SafetyNotorious @0hour1 I’m a 30 year old brick and mortar small business owner. I was MAGA until Charlie was murdered. I was MAGA until we started fighting a war for Israel. Trump has gone full Neo con. You guys need to wake up. Yall in a Fox News trance

Candace Owens Ian Carroll Collin Campbell Will all be getting cease and desist letters from Erika Kirk I helped with Collin Campbell Fun is over losers.

I am literally begging you all not to fall for the latest charlatan build-an-influencer who is trying to dishonestly grift of Israel conspiracism. Please, please, have some discernment.

A clear victory for CoNricus here. Embarrassing watching Norm’s lack of logic, and in particular his total lack of understanding of how international politics works. If the UN hadn’t failed Israel after 7/10 we wouldn’t be here now. But I’m not naive enough to think the UN would ever act to protect Israel. But it’s not half as embarrassing as watching John Mearsheimer, who absolutely does understand international politics, refuse to use his own realist theory and apply it to Israel. He’s publicly trashing his theoretical legacy on the altar of Israel hate.

"There is no dispute that Israel and the US are guilty of the supreme international crime of aggression!" Norman Finkelstein argues that Iran has a right to defend itself under Article 51 of the UN Charter. 📺youtu.be/YNcyU4YSp3w @piersmorgan | @jconricus | @normfinkelstein

@DavyBaty81 Apart from the fact we were better with Tripps on the field and we fell apart with he was replaced with Tino. I’m not blaming Tino, just pointing out a fact.

Good point made on true faith podcast, there isn’t another manager in world football that’s goes to Barcelona and picks trippier and burn over a fit livramento and Botman

@NUFC360 Lots of people, me included, complained about Howe playing Trippier rather than Tino, but we fell apart when he replaced Tripps with Tino. Not that I’m blaming Tino, I think we lost the game in midfield.

In the space of 4 years since the takeover the club have seen 2 Top 5 finishes, 2 Cup Finals, 1 Cup Win, 2 Champions League campaigns, 1st ever time in the Champions League Knockout stages. Beating PSG, Benfica, Bilbao & Outplaying Barcelona at St James’ Park. The exit last night hurts, for Fans, Players, coaches & the owners. Newcastle United have come a long way in a short space of time. Let’s look to the future! #NUFC #UCL
