Starting to consider the possibility that AppleTV produced an entirely different Slow Horses and are streaming it exclusively to me, because I seem to be the only person on Earth who thinks this show is terrible.

He didn’t just choose to kill himself—he literally chose to die in a fire rather than spend another minute listening to a forum troll with a cringe handle read his posts aloud.

Night Road is one of my favorite games, full stop. I've played it like a half dozen times on my phone and loved every single one. Up there with BG3 in terms of replicating the joy of playing a specific tabletop game
If you want to contribute to my pizza toppings and also be a vampire courier driving across the American Southwest one step ahead of hunters, rival vampires, and the sun, you can play Night Road's first four chapters for free!

When “Can we have a trade deal?” pivots on “Do you have a kids menu?”
Menus during President Trump's Asia tour showcased local cuisine while making sure that his tastes and America First agenda were met. There were beef patties with ketchup, and brownies decorated “with the color of gold that President Trump favors.”
U.S. Beef and Thousand Island Dressing: Trump’s Food Tour of Asia
The menus on the president’s tour of three countries in Asia reflected the culinary acrobatics the host nations performed to accommodate his palate and foreign policy goals.

I love living in a country where the law about what bathroom I can use is genuinely UNKNOWABLE, it’s like something from a Joseph Heller novel
This is 100% correct. Including as to the chaos the Gender Critical Ideological Movement so beloved of Labour has now descended into as their facade of respectability crumbles like the Berlin Wall.

Damn, who could have predicted that the guy who sneered at "identity politics," boosted Tulsi Gabbard, and was happy to go on Rogan would be a big fan of this Nazi too?
Bernie about Platner,
“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"
When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."
Bernie: "Ok"

Apropos of something deeply silly: there is nothing on this Earth more obnoxious than deliberately using a word in a way no other human being has ever done and then doing a smug little dance when people judge your words by their plain English meaning.

It really is unfair for Christianity to keep promising a day where God kidnaps all the worst people you know and then not delivering.

Philosophers really are the tech bros of the humanities. Once you decide your job is thinking about thinking, it becomes really easy to convince yourself you don't need to learn a single actual fact.
What it sounds like when philosophers who are also anti-trans activists submit an amicus brief to a US court where they argue for banning trans girls and women from women's sports.

Launching a new business? Thinking it might be neat to make a lowercase name part of your brand identity? Please spare a thought for the people who will have to wrestle with grammar correction while writing about your company. Then shove your marketing team out the nearest available window.

The idea social media wrecked dialogue is ahistorical. There was no innocent time when people held more nuanced views. There was just a time when you didn’t have to hear from the people your conservative buddies were hurting. Show me this supposed golden age of conservatism. Give me actual dates.

I also fucking hate that it is being framed as a Porn Ban when it effectively banning trans people from digital existence is so much more monstrous. They're both terrible, to be clear, but one is THE ERASURE OF AN ENTIRE MARGINALIZED POPULATION FROM THE INTERNET and it's being treated as a side

The unspoken argument behind "he was taken out of context re: killing gay people," is ultimately not that he *didn't* endorse killing gay people, but that Christians have an absolute right to call the brutal killing of gay people perfectly, divinely just without even the mildest social consequences.
This is extremely bad faith. Kirk quoted Leviticus saying gay men should be stoned to death, then called it "God's perfect law."
Pretending honest summarirs of these remarks such as "Charlie Kirk believed gays should be stoned to death" were false is itself dishonest and false.

Snippets that omit context aren't actual quotes. Kirk never said gays should be stoned, he never said he didn't want to fly with a black pilot. Yet these are viral. There is a TON of objectionable stuff he actually SAID to damn him for, without my profession sullying itself with sloppiness.

What I'm taking from the last few days is that a lot of journalists are like babies. They don't know words, but pick up on tone. So "Aww, does God's perfect law say to stone gay people to death? Yes it does, yes it does, my little baby journalist" sounds totally civil to them and they coo and clap.
One of the reasons I'm not familiar with his views is that I find they've been inaccurately or incompletely reported. When I do listen to him in full, he speaks with civility, and his full context has usually been lost. This disappoints me in my profession. That is what I'm saying.
You admitted you're not familiar with his views but are saying he argued with civility. Which one is it, Sally?
Cuz it sounds to me like you're defending him, and that's pretty disgusting and embarrassing.
