The world is going to be uninhabitable for our grandkids and there's fascist pedos in charge I don't really think what Hasan thinks about shoplifting from the whole foods hot bar needs to become a central topic for debate for the next week

In Mere Christianity, CS Lewis has an awesome opening riff about how most people know the difference between right and wrong, but they justify acting immorally by appealing to "special exception." They know they shouldn't hit a friend, but what if that friend was being so mean? They know they shouldn't steal a seat a bus, but what if that person got up and created a moment's confusion and then the seat was up for grabs? Etc. When I read this section, I thought a lot about contemporary politics and the way that people justify their politics, not by appealing to higher principles, but rather by appealing to "special exception" to argue that their admitted indecency is justifiable in context. A lot of MAGA vice is justified by special exception. Trump's defenders rarely defend his crookedness directly. They don't say "it's wonderful to use trade policy to enrich the Oval Office, it's really awesome." They say: Well, look, it doesn't really matter, because the left is so dangerous, Biden maybe did something similar 3 years ago, Democrats would do the same in power, and so forth. I heard something similar in that NYT conversation everybody's talking about. You even see it in the headline: ‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’ Why, hello, special exception. When you start arguing that stealing food and French paintings is justifiable in the context of political protest in an age of prevailing distrust, you're similarly not arguing *for* any kind of a universal principle. Nobody actually wants 300 million people stealing fruit from the grocery store. Nobody actually wants every Louvre visitor trying to rip a Manet off the walls. These virtues don't scale. (Because they're not virtuous!) Sap that I am, I want us to get to a place where politics is about fighting for what is right and decent, not about justifying what sort of indecent behavior might be somewhat understandable or technically justifiable given the other side's vice or the prevailing levels of indecency. The point is to build the kind of goodness that scales. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/opi…

@PlayoffBoundNYK @WHARKNUT Artists have always been underpaid and undervalued. Their quality of work has never changed that. This just gives an even easier excuse to decide that their craft is worthless because the free robot learned how to make it by stealing their work.

“Hasan Piker contributes to a New York Times roundtable about how shoplifting could actually be a form of praxis” is a concept laser-focused on getting my brain to mercy kill me

if you're reading this, and you've seen a centrist or liberal denounce the NYT's tacit endorsement of political assassination today, please share their post below. I'd like to know who among them still has some integrity.

the new york times politely discussed the assassination of a businessman with hasan piker, who made the case, in the new york times, for assassination. this is not a small thing. this is an insane, unacceptable thing that every liberal needs to denounce.

@stevehou Maybe it’s the fact that they’re trying to balance talking about jensen Wong and talking to Kevin Hart, two topics that have zero crossover

I get all the “we hate FIFA” and “we hate America” crap gets rolled into every discussion about the upcoming World Cup. But no one seems interested in the raw deal for New Jersey here. (I’m a New Yorker, so I naturally dislike Jersey.). People coming for the games in the Meadowlands will be staying in and spending money in NYC. They will not be doing anything in NJ other than taking whatever transport they can find to the game and back. That sucks for NJ. They will get nothing.

FIFA have responded to this - and strongly. “We are quite surprised by the NJ Governor’s approach today on fan transportation. The original FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City Agreements signed in 2018 required free transportation for fans to all matches. Recognizing the financial strain this placed on the host cities, back in 2023 FIFA adjusted the Host Agreement requirements across all host cities as follows: All Match Ticket holders and accredited individuals shall be able to access transport (public or additionally planned transport) at cost to allow travel to Stadiums on match days.   “FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation.   “FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation.”
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ

We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.

Sharp Money Report #UFC327 Hokit. Handle evened out to 50/50. Sharps placed their bets early in the week at better numbers. Bookies dropped Blaydes from -142 to -125 to attract public money and rebalance the market. Both sides got what they wanted. 🔥 Swanson. Started as a +110 dog on Saturday. Sharps kept betting him all week. Now he's the -108 favorite. 73% of the money, 67% of the bets. Bookies are sitting on a heavy Swanson liability. They need Landwehr badly. 😎 Mederos. Six days straight. 65% of the money, 26% of the bets on a +150 dog. The line hasn't moved because 74% of tickets are on Padilla, keeping the books balanced. But the sharp money keeps stacking on the other side. 🔥 Brown. Holland flipped to -112 favorite but 52% of the money is still on Brown. Public loading on one side. Sharps loading the other. 🔥 Pico. Opened at -345, now -285. Sixty points gone. Pitbull money keeps rising. The heaviest favorite on the card is leaking. 📉 Prochazka. Opened at -142. Now -118 with Ulberg at -102. This has been a pick'em for two days and the line is still moving. 📉 Radtke. Collapsed from -245 to -175. Seventy points. Prado money keeps showing up. Bookies are praying for Radtke. 📉 Gastelum. Now -278 and climbing. 81% of the money, 81% of the bets. Approaching -300. Bookies need Luque. The parlay boys need Gastelum. 📈 Chalk holding: Suarez, Gamrot via @VSiNLive /DK splits
