when I worked as a grocery stocker, if product became unsellable due to damage, you weren't allowed to eat any of it it all had to go in the compactor the reason was, if they let you eat it, it would incentivize damaging product

This is easy to mock but it's actually profound.

I really thought communism was the answer to all of society’s problems until I tried to run a community garden.

Acoustic analysis confirms shooter was near ground-level, ~70-90ft away — not a rooftop. Crack–bang intervals across all recordings: 0.08–0.14s = 70–90 ft distance (speed of sound @ 82°F = 1141 ft/s) Closest audio clip shows total crack/bang overlap, impact clear = <100 ft

Bondi managed to create the worst possible framing for what is a legitimate action against terrorist networks This will be the clip every leftists uses against the admin's attempt to crack down on terrorism, it is a disaster at every level, how is she this bad?

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

I have NEVER said that people who support and endorse the assassination of their political opponents should keep their jobs.

I thought you were against cancel culture

Prediction: by 2025 Sean Hannity will be absolutely terrified of furries.

I believe there needs to be a variety of swift and bold responses to this event that will fall into two categories broadly speaking: The institutional and the symbolic. This is my proposal for symbolic action. Please share this far and wide. God bless.

People should stop citing the ADL. Their extremist violence counts are skewed strongly against the right by design, since they include prison violence. This is so well-known that it's hard to take people citing them as acting in good faith.

A conservative murdered a Democratic lawmaker -- and wounded another -- three months ago. Between 2013 and 2022, right-wingers committed the vast majority of political murders. If you actually care about political violence, you should not spread wild lies about it.

Absent major changes, the coming decades are likely to be very painful for Europe, Canada & Australia. They not only are not world powers, the general populations don't even understand what true power is. They will learn. The rest of the West exists in a sheltered environment 1/

I don’t think Americans realize yet just how much our standing has declined in the eyes of the rest of the western world. The majority of Europeans, Canadians, Australians, etc. see us as a slowly dying clown empire that have chosen to self-entertain ourselves to death.

A while back a journalist at a famous magazine told me they’d just run a story from a woman who got divorced, started an OnlyFans, and was happy with her decision. I asked if they’d run the reverse—a woman who quit OnlyFans, got married, and was happy. He said absolutely not.

No one that gets on a plane today is trusting experts. They are trusting past performance data. If eg 50% of planes crashed, almost none of the people flying today would take the next flight even if experts said it was going to be perfect. They would wait for the data.

People who think they no longer depend on trusting experts only survive because they're mistaken. Every time you get on a plane you trust experts implicitly about a million questions you're not even aware of.

Most people won't state this so bluntly, but if the choices are: 1) kids sometimes access pornography on the internet 2) a federal ID system to access the internet Then #1 is the better choice.

As we learned during COVID, the problem with propaganda, well, one of them, is that it also works on the propagandists. And you end up with propaganda feedback loops that look something like this:

While the author of Brennan’s fraudulent ICA, Susan Miller, is obviously hopelessly biased, what jumps out in this clip is how astonishingly dim she is. Hard to believe that this low IQ, TDS-addled grandma authored the document that crippled the country and no one said a word.
