@ZaidJilani You would think being utterly inauthentic would help his case with these kinds of nominal Democrats.

Trump-hating Democrats are fracturing over Graham Platner @WalshFreedom: "I oppose Graham Platner because he's utterly inauthentic. He's not honest about who he is, what he believes, what he's said, and what he's done." "I find him to be a very dishonest person. His background, right? Some working-class dude, oyster farmer? He comes from means. His father's one of the wealthiest guys in the state of Maine. He went to boarding school. He comes from immense wealth and privilege. His mom, I think, bought the damn oyster farm."

The Arab world is deeply weird, if you've ever been there.
Everyone clubs, they're pretty good dancers...but it's all men. Look at this image.
GAZAWOOD - the PALLYWOOD saga@GAZAWOOD1
Thousands of videos from Gaza in the last few days depict parties, nightlife, and normal life - way beyond just marathons, football, and restaurants. The mainstream media is utterly broken.

@Noahpinion Lot of great music out there, just have to look for it. Digital tools have enabled a flourishing electronic music scene too. So it will go with academia.
And isn’t it likely AI will also make fraud easier to detect in science, not harder? Eg fake citations.
English
I don't think music is a good analogy here, since it's a matter of taste (if people want to hear auto-tune, me saying it's "bad" is just me saying I have esoteric tastes).
But yes, AI could conceivably make science worse, via undetectable fraud.
Ivan Werning@IvanWerning
AI: employment concerns aside, can it have negative effects on output, say, in science? Or is a new tool necessarily a boost? One concerning analogy: music was MUCH WORSE with the arrival of latest digital tools (auto-tune, pro-tools, etc).

@ZaidJilani I don’t even agree with his point, you’re just mischaracterizing it as you’re wont to do.

@ZaidJilani You said he said he literally thinks Mamdani is working for Islamists. He did not say that. Harris said Mamdani is an apologist for Islamists. Are you a journalist or aren’t you?

@JDVance Houston is a canonical example of a relatively affordable, supply-rich housing market. This is a canard.

He literally thinks the flamboyant boy mayor of NYC who marches around in gay pride parades and whose wife dresses like she is in the devil wears Prada 2 is working for Islamists. His words not mine. He's a moe-ron x.com/Crashmanxx/sta…

@ZaidJilani Sam is constantly differentiating between Islam, islamists, jihadists, and innocent Muslims. Then dickheads like you make out that he never does. It's this politically motivated dishonesty we're all fucking sick of.

I fail to see the innovation here that justifies the valuation of this company. My father showed me the rough equivalent of this with a free ChatGPT account on his phone.

@robkhenderson As someone who has had the displeasure of attending a New Yorker “book” club I can tell you such explication is needed for their readership.

Always helpful when The New Yorker just spells things out for the reader like this. Without the handholding how could you, a reader of The New Yorker, possibly grasp such subtlety. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

@krishnanrohit This is a grandiloquent, cargo cult way of saying modern communication compresses time and competition.

👏 My monocausal thesis for increased feeling of instability and uncertainty, vibecession if you will, has been one of increased network interconnectivity.
Hyperconnected networks have faster boom-bust cycles that flow through them, nodes get deluged under information flow and limit processing ability (you are a node), and have lower friction for information flow which creates megafauna.
This makes you feel like you're constantly treading water, the world moves too fast, you're looking out of the train window at a blur. Even if life's good you see how it could not be good. The counterfactual destitution is easy to visualise.

@actingliketommy Rockefeller net worth: 1.4 billion.
New York annual budget: 600 million.
Getty net worth: 1.5 billion
California annual budget: 1 billion.
And on and on it goes. But you’re not interested in facts…
English
The yearly budget of the entire state of California is $350 billion. Elon Musk has $850 billion in wealth.
Think about that.
It is beyond ridiculous that we allow individuals to control that much wealth. We will not have American prosperity again, until we stop allowing this.

@mattyglesias This happens fairly often. The Court may issue quick emergency orders in a case, then later decide the full merits differently once it hears full arguments and briefs. Perhaps you should read up on this.

@estherzelda0514 Instead of saying “disassociating” try “dismiss” or “cease to take the argument seriously.”
English
I'm disassociating as soon as you throw up tribal signals like:
Late stage capitalism
Zionism
Both sides
The 1%
Settler colonialism
Neoliberalism
Globalism
Gaslighting
Cucks
Hypergamy
Lived experience
Whiteness
False consciousness
Carceral
DEI hire
Cultural Marxism
The elites/the establishment
Just be normal! You can say the exact same thing without the jargon that just serves to tell people that already agree with you that you're consuming the same social media.
Instead of "late-stage capitalism," talk about "high housing costs that are distorting expectations."
Instead of "woke" and "DEI hires," talk about "overly ideological politics" and "administrative bloat."
Instead of "neoliberalism," talk about "market-oriented policies from 90s and 00s that led to the stagnation of wages."
Instead of accusing people of "gaslighting," say "you're denying things that clearly happened."
Unless your goal is simply being as annoying as possible while signaling tribal identity, then keep on using stupid terms.
