@moodslayer95 @Noahpinion Yeah, there are some real deep cuts in there. Even non-political ones like The Deep’s Honey Boy references. How many people have even seen that movie.

@Noahpinion arguably the biggest flaw of The Boys is that it tries to be "politically relevant" to the current climate and feels just so dated
English
Who knew that The Boys would suddenly become politically relevant in its final season

@maxdubler @EHunt48483 You would think that someone named “catboy” would have better judgement, no surprise here

As it turns out, the main "material condition that led people to fare evade" turned out to be "turnstiles that are low and easy to jump over."

@bernhardsson @Noahpinion I think a big problem with AI optimism is it has yet to deliver any of these things, and from recent history tech hasn’t been exactly a slam dunk of net benefits for the culture at large.
English
Humble request to techies to stfu about AI mass unemployment and start to talk about using GPUs to cure cancer and find new materials and all the other amazing opportunities

JUST IN: An AI data center moratorium is now projected to pass this year as protests intensify nationwide. 85% chance.

Fukuyama might be the most vindicated political theorist of the last century.

Francis Fukuyama is a fucking genius and a prophet.

@neoliberal_hack @hutchinson Working class people actually believe both of those things that he is saying, because the majority of them are also retarded.

It really is so funny to me that this messaging is compelling for overeducated, underemployed people with master's degrees, but working class people don't buy it.

Kyle Kulinski: “Republicans try to get you to hate immigrants and hate black people and hate Muslims and hate trans people. The reason your life sucks is because of the billionaires. It’s because of the Epstein class. It’s because of the capitalists. We have income and wealth inequality worse than the fucking Gilded Age right now. They’re the problem. Tax their fucking asses.”

@ThatMikeRossGuy That was about the same time Clavicular got popular 🤔

I’m 99% sure this dude actually has superpowers because that’s the only way I can explain how his knees haven’t given out from carrying that dogshit show for the last 4 seasons

@_rotimia You’re not being honest about why people oppose it lol.

This is obviously unfortunate because correctional facilities clearly need reform. But until someone figures out how to message prison funding as public safety instead of sympathy for criminals, the political math will keep killing it before it starts.
English
When I was in the advocacy space, I found that politicians simply did not want to fix or reform prisons because spending more money on correctional facilities or prisons is politically toxic. Any opposition will brand it as giving money to criminals.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
A real ideological dead zone idea is that we should spend more on the corrections system to make it better-supervised and less arbitrary and inhumane. slowboring.com/p/my-political…

@AdamantPluto @BriannaWu I’m referring to trans people specifically but that was a real zinger!

It's been 22 years since I transitioned! Amazing how much happier and healthier I look!

@nat_pop3333 @Plethorus1 @RichardHanania Don’t get me wrong, depending on the severity of your issue they are amazing. But they are not a cure as was implied by the OP. They only work for so long as well.
English
@RazAlSnool @Plethorus1 @RichardHanania Doesn’t mean they aren’t highly effective and clearly the risk benefit is heavily weighted towards benefit.Tho not really clear how you’d make one that isn’t a bit immunosuppressive. But compared to the old treatments which are actual broad IS and steroid it’s a huge improvement

We’re solving obesity and now baldness. I learned about psoriasis recently, that’s now finished.
Life gets better and easier because of the American medical system, which is like 40% capitalist, which makes progress possible unlike where medicine is completely socialized.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Pattern baldness affects roughly 80 percent of men and nearly half of women over the course of their lives. After decades of snake oil and broken promises, we may be approaching a real inflection point — not just in the science of hair loss but in how the world thinks about baldness itself. For centuries, losing your hair was considered one of life’s cruelest fates, and the only dignified thing to do about it was often nothing at all, since the available fixes — wigs, plugs, spray-on dyes — were somehow even more humiliating. That logic is shifting. Imperfect though many of them still are, treatments are losing their stigma. Into this cultural moment comes a new drug called PP405. Unlike Minoxidil or Finasteride, which can help preserve the hair you have, PP405 is more ambitious, aiming to revive follicles that have already shut down by reprogramming the metabolism of their stem cells. In theory, it doesn’t just slow hair loss; it reactivates the parts of the scalp that have already surrendered — and seemingly without side effects. We may not be at the end of baldness, exactly, but for the first time it feels within sight — the faint stubble of hope. Revisit Lane Brown’s report on the promise of PP405 and the potential coming of the great unbalding — and see how celebrity stylist Chris McMillan imagines what some of the world’s most famous balds might look like with if their hair grew back: nymag.visitlink.me/Pz2Ktp

@nat_pop3333 @Plethorus1 @RichardHanania There are also extreme side effects, and the drugs themselves are immuno-suppressants so leaves you open to getting sick more easily. I know because I’m on them.
English
@Plethorus1 @RichardHanania Tons of biologics and even advanced biologic-like pills are extremely effective. More than 50% of patients get 100% clear skin and 85% can get 90% clearance. But it’s not a cure, disease comes back if you stop

@archiebell86 @gtconway3d Im not a Trump supporter… Republicans won’t let this happen, it would destroy their party.
English
"[Republicans] have overlooked [Donald Trump's] mental disorders in the past— dismissed them. They've overlooked his lies. They've overlooked his depravity. They've overlooked the fact that he is an adjudicated sexual abuser. That he's a convicted criminal. They overlooked these things because it served their purposes. It no longer serves their purposes."

@ProjectLiberal I’m pretty sure most migrant workers are actually paid pretty well. Alot of it is under the table though so they don’t pay taxes which is the problem.
English
Hey Matt, what happens to the price of goods if the wages of workers go up?
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog
Pay a decent wage and maybe Americans will come work for you. “I want to pay slave wages to third worlders but the government won’t let me!” Too bad. We have no sympathy for you.
English
@BriannaWu I really don’t understand why people give a shit on a moral level what an adult does with their body. At best you might think it’s silly or a bad decision, but to make a holistic judgement of someones character or worth is fucking insane.
English
Was really disturbed yesterday by someone who follows me for my Israel takes saying although he respects me, he morally disagrees with me having taken HRT and transitioned.
And when I pushed him to explain what I should have done, he refused to answer.
I’m 1000 percent certain that if I had not transitioned, I would be dead today. I was literally doing every drug I could get my hands on by 19 trying to numb myself out of gender dysphoria. I got sober long enough to transition, I’ve never felt the urge to use since.
What, specifically, is your public policy for people like me? Do you pump us full of drugs and keep us in insane asylums? Do you take us behind the chemical shed and shoot us? Do you legally restrict our health care until we commit suicide?
What, exactly, do you want? You can’t say you respect me while also advocating my death.

@NekNamirrem @ContraPoints @WhickTv Lol, “comrade”…. You are not a serious person, you commies are the ren-fair of politics.
