American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

@eschatonblog.com This flight canceling stuff before Thanksgiving is the same dynamic as what bosses do to their workers during a strike, but of course it's no Battle of Blair Mountain.

“He’s actually putting a short on AI. ... It was us and Nvidia,” [Palantir President Alex Karp] added.
The nerve of him! It's not like Palantir has a P/E (TTM) of 640.58. Oh. Wait.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

@lukewinkie.bsky.social I shouldn't be the one to tell you this, but your pronouncements of late night TV talk shows being in need of a hospice are wrong. Kimmel has over 21 million followers on youtube.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

For the record, Kirk's killer was likely not a groyper, but a descendant of the accelerationists we covered in the Bowl Patrol episodes, but mostly sans a distinct ideology.

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the British Navy. Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit.
