@brineshaman @ChiefTeef8 I did, but since you're too stupid to notice, let me spell it out: the US is a better place to live in than almost any other country in the world. A lot better than most. Preserving that is an excellent reason to feel patriotic about America.

@ChiefTeef8 Shit like this is why most people hate "shitlibs". Shit like this is why you lost to a gerontocratic white supremacist twice.

@magi_jay Sarcasm, right? Because the way you describe it sounds rather like you just narrowly avoided having your name added to a list of sworn enemies by quickly and unquestioningly complying with a euphemistically phrased order to recant. It's quite uncanny really. Sorry I can't tell.

And you know what? I didn't get cancelled or even yelled at. My cooler friends were like, "Mag, hold up here. You know not what you do." Then I deleted and everything was fine. We libs are not the scolds you accuse us of being.

I reposted a streamer's comment today because he said that voting for Harris was the easiest decision in the history of decisions, or something of that ilk. However! I then learned that this streamer is, too, at the very least, quite "problematic" so I deleted. I apologize!

@BigBrainHistori My, how things have changed. Today, a Russian ambassador could again include the word "God" in that sentence.

Bertrand Russell was born in 1872. He remembered his grandfather (who had met Napoleon, introduced the Reform Bill of 1832, and served as Prime Minister) "quite well." In a remarkable interview, he reflected on the world of his youth: "The world where I was young was a solid world. A world where all kinds of things that have now disappeared were thought to be going to last forever." The British took naval supremacy not as a political reality but as a fact of nature. Germany wasn't feared — Bismarck was dismissed as "a rascal" and "a sort of uneducated farmer." The assumption was that Goethe and Schiller would eventually bring Germany back to civilisation. Bismarck himself compared Germany and England to an elephant and a whale — each formidable in its own element, no danger to each other. That was exactly how they felt. There was also a shared political assumption: that the entire world was gradually, inevitably moving toward parliamentary democracy. His grandmother once said cheerfully to the Russian ambassador: "Perhaps someday you will have a parliament in Russia." He replied: "God forbid." Russell notes, dryly, that a Russian ambassador today might give the same answer — "except for the first word." At home, life was shaped by Puritanical austerity. Family prayers at 8am. Half an hour of piano practice beforehand — which Russell hated. Eight servants, yet food of "the utmost simplicity." If apple tart appeared alongside rice pudding, the adults had the apple tart. Russell had the rice pudding. What Russell describes isn't just personal memoir. It's a civilisation that had mistaken its own moment for a permanent condition — that looked at the arrangements of the late 19th century and concluded: this is how things are, and how they will remain. They were wrong about almost everything.

Intian Hindu pääministeri kunnioittaa pääsiäisenä Jeesuksen sanomaa, mutta meidän kokoomuslainen presidentti, pääministeri ja ulkoministeri ei. Ei omilta tai ministeriöiden tileiltä. Kauas on siellä tultu arvoista "koti, uskonto ja isänmaa." Nyt on "pride, ilmastonmuutos ja EU"

Greetings on Easter. This sacred day celebrates hope and renewal. May it bring peace, joy and brightness to everyone’s lives. May the teachings of Jesus Christ inspire all to be kind and strengthen the spirit of togetherness in society.

@Aella_Girl Do you think this is a bias or somehow actually a side affect of having a trans brain? Like, does a dumb person who might otherwise be trans just never excessive the agency, or go through the thought process, of transitioning? Are they more likely to be closeted?

@jojalonen On hieman hämmentävä tapa toistuvasti valittaa, ettei jaksa olla täällä kuin kitkerästi vittuillen – koska se kai tulee niin luonnostaan, ettei ollenkaan vaadi jaksamista – ja silti päivitellä, kuinka muut ovat ihan samanlaisia. Toivottavasti ei ole yleisempi luonteenpiirre.

Nykyisen Iranin vastaisen ilmasodan onnistumisen mahdollisuuksista: olen skeptinen. Ai miksi? Pelkkä ilmasota ei riitä. Onnistuneita esimerkkejä on kaksi: NATO:n iskut Serbiaa vastaan 1999 ja Gaddafin hallinnon vastaiset iskut 2011. Kerrataan, miksi Iranin tilanne on erilainen.

@332118HM @Uutistoimittaja Historiallinen Pilatushan ei tietenkään mitään barabbasia vapauttanut, saati sitten, että olisi joitain juutalaista papistoa tai väkijoukkoa halunnut miellyttää. Raamatun tarinat eivät ole edes kovin uskottavaa fiktiota.

Pontius Pilutksen puolustukseksi, täytyy sanoa että äijällä oli tosi tosi vaikea duuni. Roomalainen Juudea oli pahamainen kapinahengestään ja evankeliumin mukaisesti kiihkoinen väkijoukkko vaati Jeesuksen kuolemaa ja Barbakkasen vapauttamista. Jos nyt taas katsoo miten väkivaltaista ja aggressiivista porukkaa noi ovat - kun taas pääsivät vallan makuun - niin en kauheasti syyllistä. Katso itse kuinka monta Legioonaa Rooma joutui uhraamaan tähän verratain pieneen Imperiumin nurkkaan.

Pääsiäisenä on tullut pohdittua, kuka on nykyajan Pontius Pilatus? - Hän on poliitikko tai byrokraatti. - Hän on myötäilijä, joka ajaa eturyhmänsä asiaa. - Hän taipuu paineessa ja haluaa miellyttää. - Hänellä ei ole rohkeutta tehdä oikein. Itseään narrattuaan hän pesee kätensä.

@so_i @FurkanGozukara You were talking about gas prices earlier. But most of the overall inflation as well was down to pandemic-related supply shocks and the Fed's delayed response. Biden's policies also mattered, but, again, not anywhere near as much as Trump's do now. Nor were the effects as obvious

Absolute disaster for the White House. CNN confirms gas prices have seen the highest raw dollar increase since 1991 under Trump. His disapproval on the economy is a staggering 69%, the worst of all time for a second-term president. Total failure.

@so_i @FurkanGozukara His policies were not the main factor pushing gas prices up in 2022; Russia's invasion of Ukraine was. They did contribute through subsidizing demand for a product now in limited supply, but Biden's nowhere near as culpable for prices during his term as Trump is now.

@Kaarnema @FurkanGozukara Yes, Biden was inaugurated in the pandemic - with gas prices at ~$2.40. Then his policies pushed it to over $5. Trump's tariffs are dumb and the war is also bad for energy prices. But gas prices are not yet up to Biden's peak, when CNN celebrated gas prices getting down to $4.

@so_i @FurkanGozukara Biden was inaugurated in the middle of a pandemic – which Trump suggested could be cured by injecting bleach – but Trump has no such excuse. The present inflation is entirely his fault. He inherited a booming economy. He didn't need to impose the moronic tariffs or start this war

@FurkanGozukara This is the most comical anti-Trump talking point I've heard. Biden took gas prices from ~$2.40 at inauguration to peak over $5 - more than 100% increase. Trump ~$3.11 at inauguration, now ~$4.10. And remember - Democrats want high gas prices because it reduces CO2 production.

@Kaarnema @AnttiKiiveri @willerydman @tosentti Aivan. Ja kuningasidea onkin ollut tehdä niistä muslimeille rukoushuoneet. Kuten kirjoitin, miten me emme ole tajunneet tätä neronleimausta aiemmin. Yritysten kannattavuus paranee oleellisesti näiden muutosten myötä. #pelleilyä

Elisa rakentaa pääkonttoriinsa islamilaisen rukoushuoneen ja kysyy neuvot imaamilta. Suomeen ajetaan pala palalta väestön ja kulttuurin vaihdosta. On aika tiedostaa, mitä isänmaallemme ollaan tekemässä. Tätä menoa menetämme sen, mitä Suomi kerran oli. hs.fi/visio/art-2000…

@Kaarnema @AnttiKiiveri @willerydman @tosentti Eli rakennukset yrityksillä ovat pullollaan tyhjiä käyttämättömiä neliöitä, joita voi hyvällä omatunnolla valjastaa rukoushuoneiksi. Ihan helvetin nerokkaan ja kustannustehokkaan kuuloista yritystaloutta kaikkinensa. Miten ne kaikki päättäjät eivät ole aiemmin tätä hoksanneet.
