you can tell the internet has gotten worse because if this were ten years ago there would already be a flash game where you play as trump and you have to hurl burgers at secret service officers blocking your way to the capitol

this is kind of crazy to watch. like a guy who stepped out of a portal from 2006 bumping into a zoomer tiktokker
Thought he had an easy target. Didn’t realize dude rockin the sandals/jeans/ponytail/solo Bluetooth was born into the shitty internet debate. Molded by it. When Mr TikTok was out partying he was studying Usenet archives and paying for Something Awful…

U.S president Trump isn’t staying in any old hospital room. Walter Reed Hospital has a six-room presidential suite just for the commander in chief that includes an intensive care unit, a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, & a dining room with a crystal chandelier.

extremely funny post and replies
This weekend I met a guy who exited his company around 2010, made $200M and retired (mid 30s). 15 years later, he’s still retired and happy doing nothing. Total head scratcher to me and goes against all the patterns and beliefs I have about founders 🤷🏼♀️

College Student Completes Assigned Work One Night Before Deadline; Given Keys To Kingdom
Let me tell you something about Akash. During a project at Berkeley, I accidentally deleted our entire codebase 2 days before the deadline. I panicked. Akash just stared at the screen, shrugged, and rewrote everything from scratch in one night—better than before. We submitted early and got first in the class.
Many such stories. I trust him with everything I own.

40% support for "defund the police" is ridiculously high. that's like gay marriage in 2008 numbers
Greg Huber (outstanding Yale poli sci) & 2 co-authors find that when protests are framed as "against police brutality" and "by Black Lives Matter," they are remarkably popular...
But "Defund the Police" is a toxic, disastrous slogan.
Unsurprising, but this is confirmation:

whats funny here is palestinian refugees will often have the literal ottoman land titles to the land they or their family occupied before the nakba. it's not some abstraction, the expropriation all happened under, eg, the absentee property law of 1950
Do Palestinians have righteous grievances from 1948? Absolutely. Are Israelis entitled to security in areas they’ve inhabited for generations? I think so. Idealistic arguments over which group is “indigenous” don’t solve what is fundamentally a political issue.

they never had cultural currency, it was the final failure of an attempt to make this nonsense cool that lasted ages
it’s genuinely hysterical how the Right immolated its cultural currency in less than a year, in a mere 27.6 Scaramuccis. the fascists really thought they were ascendant lmao

let the humanities have weeder classes too
curious about what will happen when professors start requiring in-class blue book exams, students fail those exams because they’re not able to read and retain information anymore, and enrollments fall in those classes. my bet is the admin blames the profs and disciplines them

what's most fucked up about this is that the pre-existing health problems were... literally a consequence of being born under starvation conditions 4 months ago
We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.
ALT Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.

she's beasting on you all
let's consider this seriously.
possibly 1,000 times in my life I have been asked, "What is the book that changed your life?"--or-- "What is the film that changed your life?"
are these serious questions? exactly how does a film change one's life? if your life is so insubstantial, so fragile & haphazard that a movie can change it then another movie, seen next week, will change it again.

The Butlerian Jihad
Judith Butler describing the October 7 massacre as armed resistance: “We can have different views about Hamas as a political party, we can have different views about armed resistance. But [...] the uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance.[...] This was an uprising”

tbc, this is the basis of the "reasonable doubt" about the hospital: unknown shrapnel from an exploded rocket fell faster than free-fall, to the extent that it made a sound just like a falling israeli JDAM bomb, and caused an explosion so large that it killed hundreds of people

the epsilon delta definition of a limit was five years old at this point. the history of analysis is the history of people banging their heads against a wall, this isn't algebra lol
Marx wasn't skilled at math. He didn't contribute anything meaningful and struggled to understand what a limit is. He wrote 100s of pages going in circles. This isn't exactly controversial.

bombing and starving the algarve... would it have worked??
The whole of Great Britain went into hyper desperation mode over a period of years to find one missing British girl - Madeleine McCann
Israel has over 40 children missing - including babies - with people we know are rapists
You really need to look at yourself Britain if you don’t understand Israel’s response in trying to bring back its children

Yes I will brainlessly embrace some postmodern slop pastiche of superstition. No it won't have anything to do with the actual beliefs of the people who lived here for thousands of years
if you talk to any serious hiker they’re like yes demons are real, make sure you don’t walk along a stream for too long, sometimes a witch trails me for miles, avoid wearing bright colors, and pray being entering the forest. the ancient is still very much alive along the edges.

i mean i remember tweeting back in 2021 about how structurally israel was inevitably going to commit genocide. and i am just some guy
Comical that centrist writers are writing off early leftist warnings of Israeli genocide as “the boy who cried wolf” when our analysis was based on an analysis of Zionist political intentions that proved completely accurate.
