@angelwakingup2 @ScotNational Trans women have been using women's bathrooms for basically centuries It's only in the last ten years people like you have decided it's a problem

@ScotNational You expect us to believe that the way museums operated less than 10 years ago would cause them to close today? 😑

Rules banning trans people from using toilets aligned with their gender identity could force some museums and galleries to close, the industry body has warned #Echobox=1753612657-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25344028.…

@SlightlyOffens The 1A protects you from the government passing laws against speech It does not, should not, can not force people to associate with you, platform you, or employ you Fascism is an ideology, not a protected characteristic

The 1A doesn't exist if you can't be a white supremacist or a fascist El Salvador is a fascist country and Trump supports them Why are brown people allowed to be fascist but white people cannot? Also anti-whiteism is the #1 issue. We must fight back

@dfossier @BusterBroncoEsq @besttrousers It's no small wonder the system is collapsing when people like you are the ones interpreting data and deciding what should get funding through think tanks

@dfossier @BusterBroncoEsq @besttrousers They didn't "admit to having no intention of meeting the requirement" They stated they did not believe they had met the requirement even though closer inspection revealed that they had met it You seem pretty illiterate even for a capitalist economist tbh

This isn't a "myth" - it is based on what *actually happens* when states have imposed work requirements. When states have imposed work requirements in the past, most of the people who lose their health insurance were working.

@xHollowed5oulx @JNReysset1 @wildstwawberry Yes, this advice is not for cEDH players lol If your mana curve is less than 2 you are not one of the 99% of commander players who need 40 lands in their deck that has 6 and 7 drops

@JNReysset1 @wildstwawberry Well, I play exclusively Cedh, so yes, I normally have all the fast mana ready to go. I only play casually if i buy a precon or if someone else there wants to let me use one of their decks.

Commander decks are not this monolithic thing where advice like this is always true. I'l often hard presed to put any spell over five mana in some of my EDH decks, which means I have no real reason to put more than 32 lands in.

@Doodelay Yes, it isn't about corporate profits it is about christian fascism and science denial They are ideologically motivated not profit driven

@nytimes Some of these moves are inexplicable to me, like this is beyond corporate profits theory

Breaking News: The EPA said it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of scientists, after denying that it intended to do so. nyti.ms/4500xIU

@BunchesOfStoats @outliersgeorg @FrankieInVegas @JuddLegum I have, yes Have you considered that drinking water and deporting "enemies of the state" and putting them in concentration camps are different

@paritybydesign @outliersgeorg @FrankieInVegas @JuddLegum Have you considered that Hitler drank water, and you probably also drink water? Something to think about and reflect on.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

@Pg13Beauregard @thebaseddweller Pick one. It's almost certain to have a higher correlation with whatever it's measuring than IQ does with "g" Whoever told you it has more than a century of peer-reviewed research behind it lied to you aasa.org/resources/reso…

The problem race-and-IQ people have is that, faced with a scientific consensus is that their ideas are pseudoscientific bunk, there are two possible explanations: 1. there's a global conspiracy to conceal the truth by commandeering all academic research 2. they're foul bigots

@BunchesOfStoats @outliersgeorg @FrankieInVegas @JuddLegum Not everything is Hitler, just the very specific things Hitler did that the Republicans are also doing now lol Do you just not understand the historical parallels or are you engaged in motivated reasoning

@paritybydesign @outliersgeorg @FrankieInVegas @JuddLegum Oh, thanks for providing me with another piece of evidence. Yes, the shitlibs have also been very busily defining everything as Hitler in recent decades. Thanks!

@Pg13Beauregard @thebaseddweller They'll admit to you even in undergrad that your IQ is 40-50% correlated with supposed "g" or general intelligence, but this supposed "g" is actually just the correlation IQ has with other measures of intelligence.

@Pg13Beauregard @thebaseddweller This entire idea that everyone should know their IQ and that it's some all-important measure of how far you can go in life is complete horseshit. It was designed to identify kids with learning differences who might benefit from additional or alternative instruction.

@BunchesOfStoats @outliersgeorg @FrankieInVegas @JuddLegum Meanwhile the "conservative" party is speed running Hitler's greatest hits of the 1930s but they've "stayed exactly the same" Sorry but if conservatives have always been fascists that's not actually a good thing

@outliersgeorg @FrankieInVegas @JuddLegum Sorry you feel that way, and sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But the left is embracing collectivism, rejecting capitalism and law enforcement, pretends men can become women, and completely abandoned "safe legal and rare", to name just a few issues off the top of my head

@pastaloni127 @D2Leaks Yeah, matterspark was novel for about the first half of the first mission and wore out its welcome the first time I couldn't find the hole The relocator has the same problem These aren't interesting puzzles and they detract from what is actually fun about playing the game

Hard to take any of the dlc discourse seriously when people are saying EoF is equal to or worse then Curse of Osiris. It’s bad faith and does nothing to help make an argument against the dlc.

@thebaseddweller IQ doesn't measure anything except your ability to take an IQ test Lots of things are correlated with higher income and have racial disparities, like, well, parent's income for example The fact that "ability to take an IQ test" is also correlated is basically worthless info

I'm confused. Is your stance that the observable disparity between the average IQ of racial groups doesn't exist, that the observable disparity between average outcomes of people with higher and lower IQs doesn't exist, or that both of those things exist but that we couldn't possibly reach any sort of conclusion based on them?

@RossBinkley @georgeregnery So you think land deserves to be represented equally rather than people, or...

@StatisticUrban @georgeregnery And, when I say "Nashville and Memphis," I mean only the actual metropolitan areas. The suburbs - where the vast majority of people who work in Nashville actually live - are solid red.

Honestly it’s pretty BS the GOP will likely get ~8 seats for free through gerrymandering. In lieu of a far-preferable gerrymandering ban, Dems have to play hardball in their own states to the greatest possible extent. If they win VA, for example, they could draw a safe 8D-3R map

@StanSmithsSUV @Victorshi2020 Yes they did, these departments are generally not created at the whim of the executive but by acts of Congress govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CO… Also they aren't replacing them, they're just firing them, effectively sabotaging the departments on purpose contrary to skirt the law

@paritybydesign @Victorshi2020 Congress hasn’t said that. Even if it had, the Executive can still fire and replace every last employee in the executive branch agency in your scenario.

Wow. Justice Sotomayor wrote a chilling dissent: “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary's duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” We should all be alarmed.

@StanSmithsSUV @Victorshi2020 Congress holds the power of the purse. If they pass a law saying the executive will have a Department of Education and appropriate funds for it, the executive can't just refuse to use those funds for that purpose and fire all of the employees.

Yeah, but wrong. Congress doesn’t fire agency employees. (Or do much of anything else that might risk being unpopular or accountable, for that matter.) Nor should it have power to dictate who can / can’t be empoyed by another branch, except Senate advice and consent on appointees.

@StanSmithsSUV @Victorshi2020 The avenue for voting to "fire unaccountable bureaucrats" is the Senate and House of Representatives. If you want to change the law, you have to actually get the law changed, not elect an authoritarian to illegally ignore it.

@Victorshi2020 I voted to fire unaccountable bureaucrats. When someone in D.C. decides I can’t have a gas stove or mandates insane nozzles on gas can, what is my remedy? If POTUS cannot fire anyone in the *executive* branch at will, the answer is I have none. Which is not how our system works.

@realAAAbbott This is not about "funding oversight," it says very plainly: "ICE funding cannot be used to prevent any member of Congress from entering any facility operated by DHS where aliens are held." It's right there, black and white, clear as crystal

@Lafe_Nelson @RepEscobar lol. This section is about funding oversight, not active operations in an emergent . We are in the midst of a national emergency, an invasion. I think we have a bit more to worry about than money. lol.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵
