I didn’t just sit home and smoke and watch sports today. I decided to get off my ass and smoke and watch sports at several different houses

Smells Angels

Caris Levert having 17 in the first half vs Mitchell’s 4, u can’t even defend this guy half the time in big games

@Deadhead_Trader How did they manage to suck the life out of this incredible song. Impressive

Damn, a Hendrix cover to close the first set.

@nonewthing You're officially exposed as a midwit. Guy is delivering the most naked and anti-factual war propaganda in US history

Marco Rubio might be the most impressive politician of my lifetime. I have genuinely never liked anyone in active politics anywhere in the world like him. Maybe 2008 Obama?

@Wurmserscribit Facilitating payments to Hamas to "control the height of the flame" and overseeing the largest security failure in history leading to the worst ever terror attack, with still no official investigation

All those who say Netanyahu is such a problem that it made you turn on Israel, especially Jews who say that, need to honestly answer one question: what concrete policies and actions has Netanyahu pursued thus far that so offend you that you are hurting israel as a nation. And then ask yourself the follow-on: of those policies that so offend you, which do not reflect the national consensus? Gaza/Rafah? Reaching a deal that returned every last hostage? The beepers? Killing Nasrallah? Hitting Houthis hard to keep Bab Al-Mandab open? Taking out Iran in June 2025 and March 2026? Creating a military fusion between the IDF and CENTCOM closer than any other nation on earth has with the U.S.? Opposing Palestinian statehood (which more than 90/120 parliamentarians voted to prevent)? The fact that the only non-Netanyahu government in the last 17 years built settlements in Judea and Samaria at a rate faster than any Netanyahu government had? The fact that he wages a seven front war when every front of that war Israel currently fights is only a reaction to an attack launched against Israel and initiated by the other side? What exactly is so egregious and beyond Israel’s national consensus that you would vote to deny Israel Iron Dome funding to defend civilians from missiles? So egregious that you would be willing to punish and hurt the whole state of Israel? You can oppose Netanyahu and pray three times a day that he be voted out. About half of Israel does too. I get that there are Jews and others who are frustrated with the performance of Israel’s government and want change. Many even harbor that frustration out of genuine love for Israel. But to argue that you turned against Israel itself as a nation because just you oppose Netanyahu means you are hiding behind the fiction of Netanyahu and the deliberately dishonest formulation of “Netanyahu’s war.” All those policies and actions above are matters of national consensus. Israelis in super-majorities support those policies. To blame them on Netanyahu and cite “his war” or any of those other policies as the reason for turning on Israel is just dishonest.

@Wurmserscribit Do you even pretend not to be a member of the Likud party anymore? You've served them more loyally than any American political cause

People put so much faith in polls in israel months before an election when the party lists aren’t even finalized and campaigning hasn’t yet begun. Israel, moreover, notoriously polls left and votes right. I suggest non-Israelis sit back and just enjoy the show. And listen not to whomever says what you want to hear, but pollsters and analysts who have had a long track record of getting it right. And there are not many.

@Wurmserscribit There were also a lot of neat stores and cool ethnic neighborhoods in the countries you helped to destroy ! Millions of people dead, all with their own exciting culinary traditions !

I was in the tail end of this, but I remember. Sno-cones were a big thing. Custard were big, but so were coke and root beer. We would go downtown to corner stores to get what in the more northern neighborhoods you just couldn’t get. I remember, for example going downtown to Schaefer’s near Lexington market to get Swiss cheese. Back then, it was the only place that carried Gruyère. And all the while there hung in a large radius from the waterfront a distinct smell of smoked spices from the McCormick spice factory. All the ethnic neighborhoods were authentic and amazing.

@bloodythingg Sounds like something a foid would tweet

This shit is why incel terms that have very recently become mainstream jokes will never be funny to me. 'foid' is quite literally used to incite violence against women everywhere by ppl like this

@Passhole69 I'm totally straight. I'm so straight and love women's bodies to an absurd degree

I love boobs so much man. Wish I could just permanently be holding one

@ConceptualJames I'm a random fucking guy and I'm smarter than you. Any prominent libertarian will end what's left of your career in 5 minutes in a debate

I asked Grok to make me a list of relatively prominent Libertarians on X who I'm definitively smarter than, and it just said, "all of them."

@whit58612 @mtracey Most people I talk to say they hate both sides but feel forced into the false binary of the two party system. I agree with you that the hyperpartisans deserve ridicule, but most people just pick what they think is the lesser of two evils and I disagree but don't fault them

@who_exactly_ @mtracey But dose the average person have any accountability? If you think we should be run “of by and for the people” or some variation there of, and the people keep electing these clowns, when do you blame the people? It’s not like Trump didn’t tease this.

Trump instituted a policy of escalatory regime change bellicosity toward Iran in his first term, and pledged to ramp it up in his second, including with explicit threats of aggressive military force. If you took that to be an "anti-war" message, that was your own delusion

@whit58612 @mtracey They're more informed on international issues by nature of living in a tight cluster of many countries. + we only interact with the educated ones. I think EU's also a propagandized population, in diff ways. I'll always blame the rich/powerful before directing ire at average ppl

@who_exactly_ @mtracey I agree with that I’m just asking when accountability for the people starts, you seemingly agreed with my point that the European populations are better informed than us, and they probably have less access to information, so when can we blame the populace?

@whit58612 @mtracey Yes, there are plenty of podcasts which would have you vastly better informed than the MSM does. But there are also some very dumb podcasts. The reason people have to seek independent creators is due to the abject failure of the MSM to be honest and trustworthy for many years

@who_exactly_ @mtracey But I thought this was the “podcast election” we have a more democratized flow of information possibly as any society in history. The parties publish platforms every two years, about as detailed as the manifestos in other countries.

@whit58612 @mtracey I agree with the latter point but I blame the mainstream media for their shallow and propaganda driven content which fails to provide nuance on anything. Where do you suggest the average person learn about these things

@who_exactly_ @mtracey At some point you have to blame the people, even with big money corruption we still have a constitutional Republic, with representation. If people had even European levels of knowledge of issues Nither Harris or Trump would have run.

@farmhauswife @mtracey This shows a 4th grader's understanding of the situation. "They took our hostages and that's really bad" Doesn't have any clue why they took the hostages. Supports my point

@who_exactly_ @mtracey ??????

Of course Tucker brought on that Professor Jiang nutjob. And of course in his telling, Trump's personal agency plays no meaningful role in the Iran war. He's either "an actor," manipulated by "eschatologists," on a messianic mission from God, "forced" by Israel, or blackmailed
