All right I feel like crap this morning but I guess we're doing this: a thread on my thoughts on immigration.

I've been so insanely busy, there are more than a few recent results to catch up on. I'll try to get to them one by one. In April, male "athlete" Jamison "Jami" Gust cheated his way to a third place finish in the pairs competition at the 2026 College Disc Golf National Championships with his partner Grace Dykema. Gust currently plays in the women's professional open division of the PDGA. Gust immediately became a "pro" player when he switched to the women's division. In the five years he had played prior, he was a men's recreational/amateur player.

🚨“Dog rape” hoax update: The @nytimes continues to stand by Nicholas Kristof’s story alleging Israel trained dogs to sexually penetrate prisoners on command, part of what he claims is "standard operating procedure." Key updates: 📌Somehow, despite this claim about dogs never being documented in history and garnering intense worldwide interest, neither the NYT nor any other major outlet has treated it as a news story. It remains “opinion journalism,” as the NYT itself admits. 📌One of the key sources, Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, has already walked back the central claim on Piers Morgan's show. It is no longer “penetration” on command. Now he says: “the detainee sort of exposed and having a dog sort of seemed like it was about mounting… Whether there’s been penetration or not, I don’t know if there has been or hasn’t.” Even this is still wholly unverified, but it is very different from Israel trained dogs to rape. 📌Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert contradicts Kristof’s claim that he accepted the article’s allegations. Olmert says he was effectively duped into endorsing a narrative he did not accept as true. So the most easily checkable testimony in the piece was misrepresented, but we are supposed to trust the testimony of mainly unnamed persons that of course cannot be fact-checked. 📌After 5 days of international discussion, millions of views, and endless comments, not one dog expert has come forward to confirm that a dog can be trained on command to become aroused and penetrate a human anally. All so far have called the claim absurd and anatomically impossible. The NYT claims the story was carefully fact-checked but did not produce an expert to back the claim. 📌The supposed historical examples do not rescue the story. The claims about Pinochet era Chile and Nazi Klaus Barbie are false and do not support the specific claim of actual rape, which by definition requires penetration. In those cases, dogs were reportedly used to mount naked victims as torture and assault. Obviously horrific, but it is not evidence of dogs being trained to become aroused and penetrate humans on command. 📌The actual Chile testimony (not articles about the incident) regarding Ingrid Olderock and her dog Volodia by a victim says the dog was ordered to “climb on top of me.” One naked victim specifically said, “mercifully, there was NO PENETRATION.” Another said she thought a man was coming to rape her, then realized “it was a dog” when it was on her. None of the testimony establishes penetration, just mounting and general assault on naked victims. 📌The Klaus Barbie testimony specifically says: “Barbie kept two German shepherd dogs. One was trained to lunge and bite. The other was trained to mount naked women who had first been ordered on their hands and knees.” Again, no arousal or penetration is claimed - because that is not possible. Many bad faith actors have called anyone who points this out as "denying the Holocaust." 📌The same appears true in the David Parker Ray case. Dogs were allegedly used to threaten, terrorize, and sexually abuse naked victims. But the record does not establish dogs trained to perform actual penetration on command. There is no evidence Ray was a dog trainer capable of such feats that dog experts say is impossible. Ray horrifically did what Olderock & Barbie did. 📌Further connections established (even though it was already 100% established) between Euro-Med Monitor, the ultimate source for this story and Hamas. "Journalist" Sami al-Sai also a proven Hamas mouthpiece. Ultimately the entire "opinion" piece is a form of well-laundered "Hamas told me so." 📌The NYT’s denial that the piece was timed ahead of the Civil Commission report on Hamas’ 10/7 sexual violence is not credible. Publishing this about 12 hours earlier as sheer coincidence strains belief. Journalists from various outlets were approached in the weeks prior to the report's release and people in the industry talk. Israeli officials affirmed they approached the NYT, and this is credible. Why approach CNN and others but not the NYT? Someone at the NYT knew and curated the timing. 📌“Why not allow an investigation?” is not an answer to this hoax. First, Israel is not required to open outside investigations every time an opinion writer publishes an unverified atrocity claim. Plenty of Israelis are already demanding investigations into prison abuses, and those should be handled by Israel internally as a law-abiding democracy. Second, the burden of proof is on the accuser. If you allege “dogs trained to rape,” you need credible evidence. You do not get to make an absurd claim and then demand that others disprove it. Sources below:

They look like men without medical intervention BECAUSE THEY’RE FVCKING MEN. I really hope someone teaches you how to be a better person. Posting memes about a murdered father is sickening.

"Changing identity and undergoing surgery as a subconscious flight response now seems drastic and Philippa sees herself as being groomed into ‘a cult’." @nickwallis interview with @redrobin9000. Great to see Philippa's story given the space it deserves. dailymail.com/lifestyle/arti…

If they really wanted to be left alone - then they would have left a woman alone who was literally minding her own business in a tiny corner of the web providing a safe shelter for other women. But nooooo. They had to go and destroy that too.

40 years ago today, Val Kilmer walked into his Top Gun audition wearing ugly green shorts. He didn't want the part. He thought the script was silly and tried to bomb the audition by reading his lines flat. They gave him the role anyway. On his own, he invented a whole backstory: Iceman grew up with a father who ignored him, which made him desperate to be perfect at everything. He kept the rivalry with Tom Cruise going off-camera too. The cast took sides. The movie became the biggest film of 1986, made $350 million, and every pilot at every airport for the rest of Kilmer's life would call him Iceman. Then in 2014, throat cancer. The surgery saved his life but took his speaking voice. By 2017 he could only get out a few broken words at a time. Years later, when they started making Top Gun: Maverick, Tom Cruise told the producers "We have to have Val." So the writers gave Iceman the same illness. In the new movie, Iceman is an admiral who's also dying. Most of their big final scene together is just Maverick reading Iceman's words off a computer screen. But Iceman does speak one line out loud. "It's time to let go." That line was made by an AI. A small London company called Sonantic used audio from his old movies to build him a new voice. They had way less to work with than they normally need, so they made over 40 different versions and let Kilmer pick the one that sounded most like him. (Spotify bought Sonantic for around $95 million a few weeks after Maverick came out.) Both Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer had tears in their eyes while filming the scene. The director said it looked like two old friends saying goodbye. Maverick made $1.4 billion. Val Kilmer died of pneumonia on April 1, 2025. He was 65. That one AI-made line was the last thing he ever performed on screen. The actor who didn't want the part, telling Maverick it was okay to let go.

ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course. I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man. Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one. archive.ph/nUIxV

YOU, OLD AND SLOW: "Nolan's Odyssey will suck because Lupita N'yongo is black and Elliot Page is trans!" ME, GALAXY-BRAINED: "Nolan's Odyssey will suck because nobody in Hollywood knows how to properly light, sound-design, or set the color-temperature anymore."

Romi Gonen, who was sexually assaulted and brutally abused in Hamas captivity, reacted to the news of Izz al-Din al-Haddad’s elimination: "This morning, the sky is bluer, the birds are singing louder, and Izz al-Din is burning in the fires of hell."

Paragraph 153 of Giggle v Tickle rules that "Denying the existence of gender identity" is now basically unlawful in Australia. I don't think I've ever read anything more chilling and sinister in a judgment from a common law legal system.

Simply horrifying. I think of these tortured young women more than you might know. What a heartbreaking end for the innocent == their torture created BY MONSTERS! SHAME on the mothers of the young men who tortured and raped and murdered innocent young women!

BPJ won the discus by 29 feet yesterday! He is also accused of threatening and harassing female teammates in the locker room.

Eli Sharabi: "Nadie en Gaza me ayudó. Me trataron peor que a un animal. Los civiles nos vieron sufrir y lo celebraron. Sin duda, estuvieron involucrados. Mi esposa y mis hijas fueron asesinadas." Esto debe hacerse viral. El mundo debe saber la verdad.

How do our orphans spend their evenings? At our Nairobi and Kaluku Nurseries, each orphan returns to their own stable at dusk – a stable lined with freshly cut branches and browse. A Keeper sleeps on a raised platform inside the stable, within reach of the elephant's trunk - so should a trunk snake up reaching for comfort at any hour of night, they will always be rewarded. Milk is mixed fresh every three hours through the night and hand-delivered in two big bottles. At our Voi, Umani and Ithumba Reintegration Units, the orphans share larger, communal stockades and Keepers sleep nearby rather than inside.

The smartphone destroyed our civilization, and we're just playing out the tragic denouement

‘Why should I, a taxpayer, be expected to make sex enjoyable for my wife?’

This is the biggest blind spot in American media because everyone in American media left their home towns.

buddy, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda. Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948: “Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.” They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.” They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.” Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews. The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.
