Podcasts I've been interviewed on (I'll add to the list as I can track them down): Zach talked to me about music and my band Cicero: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod…

There are people behind their screens who see these rescue workers tending to a girl and her father, and they press a button and end their lives, then go get lunch as if they are not monsters who should be in prison for life

All these college grads booing speakers who praise AI is giving me life right now! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is genuinely insane.

Dem voters reward candidates who have a moral position on Israel. MAGA voters just defeated the only Republican elected with integrity on the issue.

Has anyone seen my capo

Marco Rubio, self-proclaimed architect of Washington’s “maximum pressure” campaign against the island, claimed at the Vatican recently that the U.S. had offered Cuba $100 million in humanitarian aid, but the Cuban government allegedly refused to “distribute it to the people."

No, Rosa Parks wasn't "play-acting" on the bus. Matt Walsh is presenting civil-rights junk history. unherd.com/newsroom/matt-…

What frustrates me most about the prediction market discourse is narrowing the scrutiny to insider trading: Yes it is a massive problem but it belies the actual issue at hand There is NO social utility in trading the vast majority of the available contracts

Tried on the whole fit, gonna tweak it some more, need gray socks of course, but imma try a few more things, but for now Viltrumite Swaggy is down for the cause...just waiting on Nolan to arrive on the throne n lead us 🤣 #viltrumite #cosplay #invicible #comics #cosplayer

I actually really appreciate what a transparent hack Bari is.

🚨 CIA Whistleblower reveals that despite a majority of CIA scientists concluding COVID leaked from a lab in Wuhan, Anthony Fauci was able to convince high-ranking intel officials to change the assessment from a lab leak to neutral.

Politics can have a significant impact on human flourishing. Christians should engage politics to ensure their neighbors aren’t denied justice. That said, Christian leaders shouldn’t overstate the role of politics. Many solutions are best achieved by families and communities.

The man building a ballroom with foreign steel probably shouldn’t call himself the champion of American steel. But as you learned from the Epstein files, I’m open to working across the aisle. So how about signing my steel bill to actually rebuild the American steel industry?

This is a miscarriage of democracy. There’s no way Memphis should be without a congressional district.

⭕️ Israeli double-tap strike on rescue team wounds 4 paramedics in Lebanon Israeli strikes hit multiple areas across southern Lebanon Thursday, including Toul in the Nabatieh district near Ragheb Harb Hospital, where an airstrike was followed by a drone attack on rescue teams responding to the scene. An ambulance belonging to the Islamic Health Committee was destroyed and four paramedics were wounded, with footage shared by journalist @MaucourantNada showing the aftermath. Additional strikes and shelling were reported across the Nabatieh governorate, including Doueir, Mifdoun, Haboush, Nabatieh al-Fouqa, Kfar Roumman, Deir al-Zahrani, and Kfour per journalist @cbonneauimages and local reports. Strikes also hit Yatar and Deir Kifa in the Sour district near Lebanon’s southern coast. A drone strike on a scooter between Breikeh and Qsaybeh, both located north of the Israeli border in southern Lebanon, seriously injured the rider per L’Orient Today.

It’s truly unbelievable that the State Department put this clip out. So, Iran can’t be allowed to have a nuke (which they don’t) or they would be able to close the strait (which they already did) because we wouldn’t be able to stop them (which we currently can’t).

May the fourth be with you

I'm very glad to be away from reformed culture. It is so dead and lifeless and soulless. If it helps you, I'm very happy for you but it is the opposite of helpful for me

BRASILEIRO TORTURADO SOB CUSTÓDIA DE ISRAEL: RELATOS CONFIRMADOS PELA EMBAIXADA APONTAM ESPANCAMENTO ATÉ A INCONSCIÊNCIA, RISCO DE CEGUEIRA PERMANENTE E MORTE As informações já foram confirmadas pela própria Embaixada do Brasil. O cidadão brasileiro Thiago Ávila está sendo submetido a graves violações de direitos humanos por forças israelenses. Não se trata de relato, de boato ou de versão disputada. Trata-se de informação oficial. Thiago foi espancado de forma brutal, com inúmeros golpes direcionados ao rosto, a ponto de não conseguir sequer abrir os olhos. O olho esquerdo apresenta risco concreto de PERDA DE VISÃO PERMANENTE, evidenciando a intensidade da violência empregada. Há indícios de múltiplas costelas quebradas, compatíveis com agressões reiteradas e de alta intensidade física. Durante a condução forçada, foi ameaçado de ser jogado ao mar pelos soldados, o que por si só já configura tratamento cruel, desumano e degradante, além de indicar risco real à sua vida. Como se não bastasse, houve também ameaças dirigidas à sua família no Brasil, ampliando o quadro de intimidação e violência psicológica. O nível de violência foi tão extremo que ele DESMAIOU DUAS VEZES em decorrência das agressões, o que demonstra não apenas a brutalidade dos atos, mas também o risco concreto à sua integridade física e à sua vida. E mais: soldados israelenses disseram a ele que destruiriam seu corpo a ponto de impedir qualquer participação futura em novas missões humanitárias, o que reforça o caráter deliberado e punitivo das agressões. Isso tem nome. À luz do Direito Internacional, especialmente das normas que vedam a TORTURA e protegem a integridade física de pessoas sob custódia estatal, estamos diante de condutas que podem se enquadrar como tortura e tratamento desumano, práticas absolutamente proibidas em qualquer circunstância. Nenhuma justificativa política, militar ou de segurança autoriza esse tipo de conduta contra um civil, ainda mais um cidadão estrangeiro sob custódia. A situação é gravíssima. Estamos falando de um brasileiro que teve sua integridade física violada, sua vida colocada em risco e sua dignidade atacada enquanto estava sob controle de agentes estatais. Isso exige resposta. Não apenas diplomática, mas também jurídica, internacional e imediata. O que está acontecendo não pode ser normalizado. Não pode ser relativizado. E, sobretudo, não pode ficar impune.
