Here's the president of the U.S. telling a private company how it must make its products, on pain of seeing a massive, government-imposed increase in its input costs. I very rarely use the word "fascist," but this is unconstitutional, fascist nonsense.

This is like listening to a high schooler argue that they did not use an LLM when it is very clear they used an LLM.

Reporter: The president showed a video that he said showed more than 1,000 burial sites of white South Africans that he said were murdered. We know that was not true.. Leavitt: No, it is true that that video showed the crosses that represent -- Reporter: Burial sites is what…

You Should Move to the Other Site links work and don’t get deboosted, it’s not run by a fascist and the annoying people are at least baseline more intelligent than the annoying people here you can also develop for it without paying $200-1200 a month

If you want working people to take home more money, raise the standard deduction. Why should a bartender get a tax cut and not a janitor? Why should an Uber driver get a tax cut and not a teacher? Why should a Starbucks cashier get a tax cut and not a Burger King employee?

I like no tax on tips. Working people take home more money.

An even tougher pill to swallow is that the 1 hour you're exercising is probably the only hour during the day that you aren't doing something that actively harms your mental state.



Many such cases.

Guys please don't send me more AI slop concerning philosophy of mind. Especially since the GPT sychophantcy spike, people are sending me incredible crackpot garbage (sorry!!!). I can't review it all, plus it's awkward to say "yeah, I think the AI just made you feel smart".

This is possibly the most important issue in the US right now. The federal government is, without due process, sending human beings with no criminal record, who are here legally, to a horrific prison in another country. And lying about it, to the courts and the American people.

Cato published my review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

These people entered the US legally and ended up with a life sentence in a foreign concentration camp. Unthinkable evil. There are no other words to describe it.

Those who understand the cost of quality - and pay it willingly - will enjoy high quality love and devotion Those who treat others like nothing more than objects to be consumed and discarded will go through life shallow, ashamed and spiritually starved

Have u ever thought about all the subtle ways we worship the idea that love isn't real? How we murder the poetry of the world before it ever has a chance to spread its wings?

I like to foster generational awareness by visiting nature with my children and situating what we are seeing in time: how many human lifetimes a redwood has lived, or how long it took the Colorado to carve an entire canyon to the closest ocean.

Let me share a secret that has worked pretty well in my family & will probably work in yours: Your goal in raising subsequent generations is to get them to see themselves as links in a chain, rather than as individuals 100% free to do whatever they want.



This is insanely stupid. I’m flabbergasted by how civicly misinformed these people are. Is…is this the norm?

This is easily top 2 for me. Dean shows a traitor he’s not the patriot he thinks he is. Straight up. My favorite is the frantic keyboard typing at the end.

DOGE said 40% of phone calls into Social Security centers were fraud, so it built a tool to track it. Turns out the 40% was actually 0.0018% and the tool slowed down processing significantly.

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

It’s sort of weird how Wikipedia still just works and it’s still great. You’d feel it’d be enormously degrading like fucking everything else nowadays. Fair play Wikipedia.
