@AuthorHFerry @Nervana_1 I think a lot of neo-Marxist philosophers have their own flavor of this, but it goes all the way back to the communist manifesto “The Communists support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.”

Yes, Iranians are now experienced what I felt in 2011, when the cute left defended the Muslim Brotherhood

The moment I realized the Left was full of shit was when they started lying about my country and my lived experience.

@aziz0nomics From her admission essay: "I have long opposed American values, often finding myself isolated among peers who did not share my convictions. I am excited to join an institution that shares my dreams of destroying the American values while enjoying all their benefits"

The regime chants: "death to America"
The regime in real life: "move your family to America"

@nickgiva1 Isn’t this basically Europe? Except smarter sometimes means “more educational certificates”
English
No, you really don't. You would not like what I would do to you. The first would be to take your vote away from you, or dilute it into meaninglessness.

I want to be ruled by cosmopolitan elites who speak 4 languages, have inherited money, and are smarter than me. The entire "Revenge of the Punished Losers" thing is over.

White House top economic adviser Kevin Hassett says the oil futures market agrees Iran is a short-term disruption.
Apparently he means the shape of the oil futures curve, which is massively backwardated (or inverted, if you prefer that terminology). Now, who’s going to tell him?

@bonchieredstate By his logic the houthis are also a superpower.

I was born and raised in NYC, and I still live here, but I don’t dare take the subway. I haven’t been on it in probably 6 years.

@LynAldenContact It’s all fun and games until your sleeper personality is activated through subliminal Pokémon messages and you find yourself participating in a Pokémon takeover.
English
Indeed, the original 150 Pokémon are among the first things I bothered to memorize as a kid.
Likely the first significant dataset absorbed.
Fanatics Collect@FanaticsCollect
A Stanford study found that people who played Pokémon heavily as kids developed a small region of the brain that responds specifically to Pokémon characters. Researchers scanned adults who grew up playing on Game Boy and showed them images of Pokémon like Pikachu and Bulbasaur. Their brains lit up in the same exact spot, a consistent area in the visual cortex tied to recognizing specific categories of objects. The reason comes down to childhood. When you’re young, your brain is more flexible, and spending hours memorizing hundreds of similar-looking Pokémon essentially trained it to carve out space just for them. (via @Stanford)

@christianjbdev I realized she was unwell the first time I heard her interviewed on a podcast.

Well, I sat next to a vaccinated person and my head fell off.

@wyatt_claypool @ConceptualJames He looks like he has already been eating everyone who comes within the reach of his fork, regardless of their net worth.
English
There is a lesson here.
Never try and yell at the top of your lungs as a politician.
It only looks crazy, especially when screaming about eating people. Not a great look.
I'm getting strong Howard Dean vibes from this.

@KatyaSedgwick I imagine it went something like this:
“Sir, you can’t go through.”
“I am Cardinal Pizzaballa.”
“Right. And I’m Sergeant Chicken Shawarma. Move along.”
English
Either Pizzaballa doesn’t understand wartime precautionary measures equally applied to all—or he is doing a PR stunt.

פרסום ראשון: משבר חמור מאיים לפרוץ בין הותיקן לבין ישראל בגלל משטרת ירושלים. פיירבטיסטה פייצבלה, שנחשב השלישי בחשיבותו בותיקן והפטריארך הלטיני , יחד עם הקוסטוס פרנצ׳סקו לפו(מספר 4 בחשיבתו) עוכבו בידי המשטרת ירושלים ! ומנעו מהם להיכנס לכנסיית הקבר בטענה שאסור בגלל המלחמה. השניים רצו להיכנס לתפילה מצומצמת של 4 אנשים במסגרת ראשון הדקל החשוב לפני הפאסחה, אחרי שביטלו מיסות המוניות בגלל המלחמה, ובכל זאת נענו בשלילה בידי כמה שוטרים וקצינים זוטרים.

@peterrhague @Lucius_Winslow It would be a more equal relationship than the US alliance, but there is really no reason why either Britain or Japan would expect the party to help when there is cost involved. With US I think both sides have few alternatives when it comes to dealing with China than to be allies
English
@Lucius_Winslow Japan and Britain are, I feel, more natural allies than either is with the United States.
English
It’s a designation I’m very happy for Britain to lose, so I don’t mind, but I’m interested to see how widespread this sentiment has been on Twitter recently.
It doesn’t seem based on facts. Britain wasted far more blood and gold on America’s 2001-2021 follies, for example.

Japan is our greatest ally and it’s not even close.

@swamp_ist Can we appreciate how “polyamory” in Japanese literally translates into “excess of romance” 🤣

"It is possible I am a useful idiot."
I challenged the so-called "Chinese Nostradamus" and self-styled "Professor" Jiang on 'Mehdi Unfiltered' on his predictions, on Chinese censorship, accusations of antisemitsm, the Iran war, and more.
