Fun fact: One leg outside the blanket is the official temperature control system.

If I had Elon's money I would solve world hunger instantly.😡 Sent from a device purchased with with a sum of money that could have been used to feed an Ethiopian family for a year, but wasn't, because my generosity is purely hypothetical.

This is a map on why video games take up 5x the space they did 15 years ago just to look *slightly* more detailed.

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire, but I don't know how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires.

Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire has been a really great IQ test for the general public. You see people online who think Elon literally has a trillion dollars sitting in a bank somewhere and has chosen to just… keep it there. These are not serious people and not worth engaging with. It’s like trying to have an intelligent discussion with a monkey.

Let me get this straight… Apparently, an ICE agent being struck by a car is not enough to create reasonable fear of serious bodily harm. But Karmelo Anthony being shoved during a confrontation he allegedly escalated, going on to say, “touch me and see what happens,” where he was then pushed, is enough to justify pulling a knife and stabbing someone in the chest? That isn’t a consistent self-defense standard. That’s a tribal and political standard. Either imminent serious bodily harm matters, or it doesn’t. The logic isn’t logic’ing.

It is technically illegal to vote after election day. And yet, CA allows ballots collected after election day without a postmark if they are "self-dated" by voters. How do you prove a ballot is fraudulent in that scenario? You can't. And that's the point.

Mohsen Mahdawi is 34 years old. He first enrolled at Birzeit University in the West Bank in 2008 and studied there for six years. In 2018 he enrolled as an undergraduate at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He stayed there until 2021, and never earned a credential despite enrolling as a seventh year senior and being a full time student there for four years. Despite this extremely suspicious academic record, he was admitted as a transfer to Columbia University — a school which rejects over 97% of applicants — where he attended as an undergraduate for another four years. Columbia’s rules explicitly state that students must be progressing toward an on-time graduation, but they accepted Mahdawi as an eleventh year undergraduate and allowed him to remain a student in good standing even though he was evidently not maintaining a full course load. His student status was a pretext; he was acting as a full-time anti-American, anti-Jewish and pro-terrorism activist. Since he claims to be a Palestinian refugee, it is unclear who was paying his tuition or providing for his rent and expenses in New York City while he was engaged in subverting American institutions. He finally earned a bachelor’s degree in May 2025 from one of the top five American universities after 17 years as an undergraduate and was accepted to a master’s program at Columbia even though the State Department was already trying to deport him on national security grounds. Democrats at every level fought hard to keep him in the country.

“Oh, you didn’t believe Christine Blasey-Ford, but you believe this?! Way to flip-flop!” Guys, we never said “believe all women.” We said take each case individually and judge their merits and probability. YOU said “believe all women.” You’re the hypocrites here.

Imagine almost having your head sawed off by an Islamic migrant, and the press, so desperate not to offend Muslims, describes your attempted murder as just a "stabbing" and puts serious injuries in scare quotes.

I don’t celebrate anything about the Karmelo conviction. I’m happy justice was done, but the whole thing is sad. One young life gone. Another effectively over. Groups of black people who’ve been lied to about everything their whole lives will be mad about it. Whole thing sucks.

A USS Liberty obsession is a gateway drug to industrial-strength retardium. Once you believe that a 1967 case of accidental friendly fire is the most important issue facing America, your ability to engage in logical reasoning has been destroyed.

In the last few months, PIJ and Hamas have been releasing obituaries on commanders killed during the war. Interesting to look back how those deaths were covered. Ex: In June 2024, Reuters reported on an air strike killing Palestinian soccer player Ahmed Abu Al-Atta. Now PIJ confirms he was a deputy platoon commander in the rocket unit.

Richard Henry Lee of Virginia submits a resolution to the Second Continental Congress, motioning for Congress to declare independence from Great Britain on the grounds that the United Colonies are “free and independent states.” John Adams, who is anxious to declare independence, eagerly seconds the motion.

A simply superb paragraph by Sam Harris.

Celebrating the 250th Anniversary!, here is an interesting document, taken from the National Archives, "On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, introduced this resolution in the Second Continental Congress proposing independence for the American colonies. In the early 1770s, more and more colonists became convinced that the British Parliament intended to take away their freedom. After fighting broke out in Massachusetts in the spring of 1775, the King declared the colonists "in a state of open and avowed rebellion." For the first time, many colonists began to seriously consider cutting ties with Britain. The colonists elected delegates to attend a Continental Congress that eventually became the governing body of the union during the Revolution. Its second meeting convened in Philadelphia in 1775. The delegates to Congress adopted strict rules of secrecy to protect the cause of American liberty and their own lives. In less than a year, most of the delegates abandoned hope of reconciliation with Britain. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution "that these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states," acting under the instruction of the Virginia Convention. The Lee Resolution contained three parts: a declaration of independence, a call to form foreign alliances, and "a plan for confederation." On June 11, 1776, the Congress appointed three concurrent committees in response to the Lee Resolution: one to draft a declaration of independence, a second to draw up a plan "for forming foreign alliances," and a third to "prepare and digest the form of a confederation." Because many members of the Congress believed the actions Lee proposed to be premature or wanted instructions from their colonies before voting, approval was deferred until July 2. On that date, Congress adopted the first part (the declaration). The words of the Lee Resolution are echoed in the Declaration of Independence. The document seen here shows the vote on the Lee Resolution — the affirmative votes of 12 colonies are listed at the right. New York cast no vote until the newly elected New York Convention upheld the Declaration of Independence on July 9, 1776." The plan for making treaties was not approved until September of 1776; the plan of confederation was delayed until November of 1777.

This is an argument that has been repeated often for many years, and here's the thing: Everyone on all sides of the conflict knows deep down that this is 100% true.

All the qualities of a good nap have been achieved…namely, not sure what decade it is that I’m awakening in…

This motherfucker ran a solid kingdom and I think some acknowledgement of that is overdue. Low crime, clean streets, quality monarch.
