Dudes don’t need the “manosphere.” They need papaws, great uncles, neighbors who served in Vietnam, and that one old guy from work.

Kamala Harris is the only person who can win the election in 2028. Do you agree with me?

The Industrial Revolution—the greatest thing ever to happen—required the British govt to deploy more troops against Luddites than they had fighting Napoleon at the same time
Damaging machinery was made a capital offense and they had dozens of executions, hundreds of deportations
Dean W. Ball@deanwball
The Industrial Revolution would not have happened if it had begun amid our current institutions, political economy, and level of regulation/procedural roadblocks aka “democratic input.” This is among the starkest challenges facing Western society today, though uncouth to discuss.

@Joshua4570 @cremieuxrecueil Lactose intolerance has to do with the exocrine pancreas not secreting enough lactase enzyme to break down the lactose. It's not an allergic immune system thing.
English
@cremieuxrecueil I've read that a lot of this has to do with people who are lactose intolerant saying that they're allergic to milk, which I mean...

My grandfather lost his job when the family ice delivery business was destroyed by the refrigerator. It was bad for him personally, but probably a net plus for humanity.

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

“The Supreme Court banned race discrimination in college admissions and Asian acceptance rates increased. I have no idea how these two might be related. I am a reporter.”

Not long ago, Johns Hopkins boasted high Black and Hispanic numbers. Then came SCOTUS ruling and a huge reversal: Today, 45% of freshmen are Asian-American, up from 26% just 2 yrs ago. And that doesn't include int'l students, mostly from Asia. @elliew0lfe: thebanner.com/education/high…

Honest question.
How do we rebuild this?
How do we rebuild our social institutions?

America once gathered formally: clubs, churches, lodges, leagues.

@LinkofSunshine I'd probably do it for a standard raise, but I'd rend my garments to get a bit more

By the way, this has changed very little on the ground, because the US is in fact still supplying a shitload of weapons to the Ukrainians, Europe is just the one footing the bill for it.
They are full of sound and fury, signifying a largely performative policy change.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, JD Vance just declared the thing he’s proudest of is stopping funding for Ukraine. The Trump-Vance Administration is turning American leadership into the world’s laughingstock.

@DastDn These people's brains are so small, that can't conceive of a democracy ever ousting an autocrat, so obviously the autocracy was fake.

The takeaway here should be that despite 16 years of effort to undermine them, the democratic institutions proved stronger than any feared, and the Hungarian desire for liberty won out.
Not that Orban was a normal democratic politician who never did anything wrong ever.
The Free Press@TheFP
The same pundits who think American democracy is dying have spent years insisting that Hungary is run by a dictator. But that man, Viktor Orbán, just lost an election—and is peacefully leaving power. thefp.com/p/what-kind-of…

@Liv_Boeree That the was the best couple of minutes of my life tbh

Yeah, and swing voters are very sensitive to overreach. They usually swing because they're more towards the medan voter right? But I was more referring to Spanberger's body of work as a whole, too. She's kind of pulling a Biden "I'll be a check against Trump's GOP" and then letting her leftiest staffers set the agenda.

@mravantcentre @DRabbit679 Over a pointless, dead issue.
I say the same thing about Malcolm X murals. The original meaning is long gone.

Why?
It’s a non-profit that mainly just invests in historical preservation at this point.
They’re clearly losing the historical argument with the younger generation of white southerners anyways so what’s even the point?

Interesting, quetiapine et al essentially function as glp-1 antgonists, so I was curious, but I guess direct glp-1 agonists just overwhelm that mechanism. Now just gotta convince docs the double pancreas warning thing isn't a double threat. In fact, glp-1 agonists should mitigate that, if anything.

This is a very reassuring replication. In the broader literature, this fits very well, because it's just another sign that these drugs work for basically every population, no matter how troubled.

Antipsychotics cause weight gain, so schizophrenics who use their meds are often fat.
But, if you put those schizophrenics on GLP-1RAs, they still lose weight, have improved blood sugar control, and become more insulin-sensitive.
GLP-1s work even if you're on antipsychotics!

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day
In 1900, Jews were the second most common religion in Europe. 2/3rds of them were murdered.
I will never be able to visit my ancestral hometown, because every citizen there was killed.
Never again. We can never let anti semitism seep back in.
