The Quiet American

“Sooner or later...one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.” Graham Greene, The Quiet American

@HarmlessYardDog We learned nothing from Covid.

Which one of you bozos thought it was a good idea to build the entire world economy off just in time supply chains from the most unstable regions on the planet?

@danielsultan @americanhousing If they are built up to code, which they are, it isn’t a problem.

@americanhousing Curious to see how are you handling sound and insulation between units? They look like they’re right up against each other and I fear the panels are thinner than average.

We assembled the structure of our prototype in 14 days. It'll be down to single digits within a year.

@HumanAppealUSA They threaten shipping, launch drones against their neighbors overall want to kill Americans and we should feed them?

Turn empty plates in Yemen into hot nourishing meals

@mgurri What magic do science fiction writers wield that’s gives them the uncanny ability to show us the future

Last three seasons were a big step down. Read the books…

@BridgetPhetasy @bonchieredstate Don’t know if you are on a roll or the algo decided to bless me with your posts but please keep it up!

@bonchieredstate Dana is the real deal and it’s why I love her show. She knows her shit and she’s focused on policy and results and most importantly she’s not wearing Christianity like a skin suit.

Dana showing courage so many others on the right refuse to exhibit because they are terrified they might lose some engagement.

@TimberLlc Can you open a camp/school please. These skills need to be passed on.

Yes I hew beams. Yes it is only with an axe. Yes it is fun for me. Yes I make a living doing this. Thanks for attending my TED talk. 🪓 🪵

@MantoothTy @TheTonus @michaeljknowles It is widely known especially in the military but either way ignorance is no defense.

Did you know this was a law? Being that there’s no nefarious comments attributed to him about betraying the US means this guy probably didn’t think anything about it. He was a former pilot that got to fly planes for free and got paid for it. A lot of US pilots would take any other country up on that offer. Is there even a list of designated enemies of the US? Idk they would’ve cared if he did this in El Salvador or Canada. I mean they arrested him in Indiana. If you were nefariously betraying your country would you be living out in the open as if you did nothing wrong?

If convicted, hang him and hang him publicly. This, this is the legal definition of treason.

@restoreth_ We across the pond are rooting for you all.

🔔Over the past 30 years Tower Hamlets, like many parts of Britain, has changed beyond recognition and we refuse to remain silent and watch it slip further into decline. We are a group of concerned local Brits who have, therefore, taken the initiative to come together to champion Restore Britain in our community and stand up for the future of the place that we call home. Through this page, we aim to shine a light on what we feel are some of the most significant issues facing our borough today. From local government failings, to the issues affecting people on the ground, we aim to spark the discussions that will drive the change needed to Restore a thriving, functioning community once again.

@victoriacr13957 @robbysoave Was she threatened with violence if she did not continue to find girls? Or offered money to do it. At what point do we hold people responsible for their actions?

@robbysoave Seriously? She was originally trafficked herself as a minor then pressured to recruit herself. She's still a victim.

Trump brought the Olympic champion U.S. hockey team to the State of the Union, and the Democrats brought a woman who helped Epstein traffic underage girls.

@romanhelmetguy @RadioFreeTom He is a blue sky guy, enough said.

@RadioFreeTom Oh that’s right, you taught at the Naval War College, didn’t you? Fuck, we’re all gonna die.

People bristle at the idea that autodidacts need teachers to lead them through complex works, but this is a good example of what happens when people are well-read, but not enough to know what they don't know.

@Man_with_a_van An all Analog appliance shop would be great.

The response to this insanely simple yet non plastic coffee maker should usher in the era of “dumb” simple appliances that work and dont poison you or connect to your wifi

@TheMikeMorton @DOGE_HHS Go fuck yourself

@DOGE_HHS DOGE has violated the Privacy Act in ways that cannot even be measured.

Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history. This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time. For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota. Download the data yourself: opendata.hhs.gov

@cremieuxrecueil @AirBreather1980 Women, at least here in DC.

@AirBreather1980 Nutjobs.

School shootings took 40 lives in 2022, 21 in 2023, 18 in 2024, and 7 in 2025. Pit bulls have killed more people each year than school shootings have since 2022, and the dog bite fatality numbers are increasing.

@SocraticSand @cremieuxrecueil There is no blank slate

@cremieuxrecueil You will forever lose this argument. It is the same as blaming guns for gun deaths. Pit bulls don’t come out of the womb seeking to kill. They are conditioned into such behavior and their handlers are 100% responsible for the outcome.

@Henrik_Palmgren @Breaking911 For real, I worked in a daycare as a teenager and we had regular inspections from the county. No way this goes unnoticed.

@Breaking911 Who has been helping them set all of this up. Surprising if they showed up and figured all of this out on their own. Why haven't there been anyone in local government checking any of this? This is just the tip of the iceberg.

🚨 BREAKING: Following the exposure of millions in fraud at Somali-run care centers in Minnesota, similar concerns are now surfacing in Washington state, where 539 of about 5,000 licensed care centers are Somali-run, many lacking a physical address.

@BarackObama Go fuck yourself and don’t try and tell me you read these books.

As 2025 comes to a close, I'm continuing a tradition that I started during my time in the White House: sharing my annual lists of favorite books, movies, and music. I hope you find something new to enjoy—and please send any recommendations for me to check out!

@TimberLlc There are companies of a similar vibe making analog machines.

Hear me out: A start-up, but all they do is make appliances using vintage patents from the 50s and 60s and everything lasts for forty years instead of seven to ten.

@profstonge Why doesn’t ford open up a school?

Ford can’t find 5,000 mechanics at $120,000. Nationwide, we’re short 400,000 skilled manufacturing workers. America's Blue Collar Renaissance is running into the wood-chipper of a progressive education system that doesn't teach useful skills.

@libsoftiktok Is this not blatantly illegal?

WOW. Democrat NYC Council Member Julie Won has a COMPLETE MELTDOWN because she thinks too many White women are benefiting from a Minority and Women-owned business contract program. “So, you’re going to have to get the certification numbers up so that we actually have people of color who are also certified, not just white women.” Blatant racism against White people.
