@owenjonesjourno @JEyal_RUSI Sounds like you do know who he is

@JEyal_RUSI Simple - I'm just some writer, rather than the son of a long deposed tyrant

Who the fuck are you?

@SunriseEnjoyer @Noahpinion *than

@Noahpinion Americans realized it was better then the alternative and didn’t want to end up like us in Canada

If you elected these people, you fucked up big time

@TomChivers @pastasnack_e In the long run even if there are more trips they will reduce congestion. Their reaction time starting and stopping is much better. Eventually they should be allowed to go faster. In a self-driving future you shouldn’t even need traffic lights or stop signs.

@pastasnack_e No! Tax all cars! We don’t want to discourage autonomous ones in particular; they’ll be safer and better than human-driven ones and can free up all the space used for parking

'When you can sleep, work, or drink with friends in a moving vehicle, you will take many more journeys by car. Roads will grind to a halt. People going to the office or the hospital will be sharing the road with people having beers, working remotely, and taking naps.' Solution: tax self-driving cars, and do it soon, while there are still few enough of them that nobody objects.

@adamlipschitz You’re only a meter ahead of that other runner. Pick up the pace.

I dedicate my run today to ooomshlonga

So true. 😆

@UrbanCourtyard I know. I am talking about the area. It might be right in some "city limits" technical sense but underscoring ENTIRE CITY like this is misleading. I stayed out this zone but when I walked to my Airbnb I did not feel like I was leaving Florence.

@muttface I love Siena (have partied at the Palio many times) but Florence has a metro area if one million and a strong economy not just tourism

I love this meme because when I was 22 I moved from suburban West Michigan (which looks a lot like left) to Florence, Italy, and lived in a courtyard block apartment for two years, which radically changed how I saw cities, multifamily buildings, retail, lane width, public and private property, construction materials, etc etc I can make out the the courtyard block I lived in (near piazza Santo Spirito) in the lower left corner of the map

@clairlemon @60Minutes Is this intended as a rebuttal or an attempt at nuance? I can't tell. The US offering asylum to Afrikaners and withdrawing it from other groups suggests that the "genocide" claims are intended to be taken seriously. What's wrong with being straightforward that this is nonsense?

@60Minutes quillette.com/2025/06/10/fle…

White supremacists have made false claims of genocide in South Africa for decades. That narrative entered the mainstream in 2018. However, Afrikaner journalist Max du Preez says, “There is no such thing.” cbsn.ws/3MESGLG

@AdrianNF8173 @HistoryBoomer He is extremely gratuitous.

@HistoryBoomer Because you trolled and tried to ridicule him. He is a very gratuitous and patient man

If you’ve never been called a retard by Taleb, you’re doing Twitter wrong.

@JamesSurowiecki A niche sport, but it's transformed the experience of watching squash.

HD has obviously been great for all sports on TV, but the two sports that have benefited the most from it are hockey and, perhaps surprisingly, tennis.

Hockey is such a great game to watch. HD has been so awesome for hockey on TV.

@dmitrygr @dieworkwear @elonmusk GiveWell has some suggestions.

@dieworkwear @elonmusk How do you pick who those "some" are?

Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔

@greg16676935420 Though I am not American, so maybe I shouldn’t.

@greg16676935420 It is my birthday Greg. I do celebrate.

Happy national chocolate cake day to everyone who celebrates

@Johnfromnh420 @AliceFromQueens @ethan1saacson @feelsdesperate Are *you* reading what you’re writing? Or any of Alice’s tweets?

@AliceFromQueens @ethan1saacson @feelsdesperate How exactly is a video of a cat on a grill weak evidence? Are you actually reading what you are writing?

The reason ‘they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs’ was such a big deal was because it called attention to something crazy the federal government and NGOs were doing which was dropping thousands of immigrants in random towns and cities across the US, changing them radically overnight. No one wanted to admit this was happening and Dems and libs preferred to ignore it but ‘cats and dogs’ was too mimetically powerful and it shifted the focus of the race back onto out of control immigration, a topic Dems desperately wanted to avoid. This is fair in politics and effective even if you find it distasteful. The real issue was never whether neighborhood pets were being eaten but what the hell the Biden administration was doing which turned out to be massive subsidization of an imported labor force that competed with Americans. There’s no purer or more legitimate issue. If you don’t like this type of thing, the media can neutralize it by being relentless and honest in figuring out exactly what the hell is going on and bringing what are legitimate political issues to the fore, rather than trying to sweep them under the rug.

@Pxxdressi @grok what account is this?

@pegobry_en @tesamedni @j_brucestewart @Noahpinion I’m curious to know what evidence of eating the dogs and cats you found so convincing?

@tesamedni @j_brucestewart @Noahpinion Everything I described is a documented fact. Answer me: are you able to ***empathize*** with the people who lived in Springfield OH when it happened? How would you feel if it happened to you? These are simple questions.

It was not a lie. And the fact that you’re upset about this but not about tens of thousands of Haitians being airdropped into a struggling white working class town…does not speak well of you.

@sentientist @bryan_caplan This is “cute” but it doesn’t take a lot of work to realise that there are other productive immigrants who don’t get treated like the Danes.

@bryan_caplan Because Danish culture is productive

California's Danes are *not* assimilating. How come no one's talking about this???

@ramez @stevemagness He’s always been been like this. I know he’s written some good books, but I’m always surprised how willing people are to try to engage with him because this is how it will go.

@stevemagness He's a thin skinned troll.

This was wild. And surreal. And sad. Since it blew up, I want to offer clarification for the argument I’m making: The study is literally comparing chores (making your bed, vacuuming, cooking) versus exercise (a brisk walk or anything more). That’s how it defines moderate versus vigorous. The entire point was: you can’t map that on to an exercise zone training paradigm. It’s two different categorization systems. One absolute, the other relative. One that calls cleaning the dishes moderate and includes anything from a walk to all out intervals as vigorous. The other doesn’t even start until you start exercising. It doesn’t include making the bed. That’s zone 0 for most… They are two different things. One based on relative physiology. The other extrapolated based on accelerometer data to map onto MET. The study is fine. It tells us that doing any sort of exercise, even a brisk walk is more efficient at helping health than making your bed or vacuuming or a slow walking of the dog. That’s important because it tells us we need to get people exercising not just active moving. But to extrapolate that to training zones is nonsense. So the real conclusion that he should be screaming is: going for a brisk walk or a slow jog is more impactful than making your bed. We can all agree on that… And to be clear: of course 1 minute at 3k pace is different from 1min at your recovery jog pace. But there are so many studies that actually tackle the impact of various exercise intensities on health. And we can learn even more from understanding training history to shift the underlying physiology. Use those to make your arguments on what’s best training for longevity. Not a study that doesn’t delineate exercise intensities in any meaningful way. By the way, we overcomplicate the crap out of this. The truth is for the average person: they just need to exercise consistently in whatever they enjoy. That’s the starting point for most folks. A novice shouldn’t obsess over zone 1,2, or 3 or whatever. For the complete novice, their “zones” blend together because they are out of shape. They just need to get going. Which is exactly what this study found.
