"Only racists are allowed to be angry about paedophiles" is a surprisingly succinct summary of conservative politics
Laura Loomer You can't be outraged by the Epstein saga and simultaneously not be outraged by the fact that we have Muslims serving in Congress

Trump is taking the Epstein news quite well
Trump Truth Social post It shows a blank image with black text MAGA is not dead. Far from it. Leftism is though. Read the room.

Not the first time, either. Chris repeatedly ripped her new ones and she keeps coming back for more

I have been puzzling over the same thing myself

Truly don't know why she is doing this. Just an endless parade of "I don't do that" followed by Chris showing a clip of her doing that. It's giving Sideshow Bob

I find it very satisfying how Chris Kavanagh just reads her to filth lol

First person I've ever seen do a motte and bailey in the wrong order lol
Sabine tweets Well there we go again, I never said anything to the extent that "modern science has achieved nothing of value in 50 years". What I have said is that the (highlight starts) return on investment is diminishing. (high light ends) Chris Kavanagh replies As others note, you have a tendency to reference a specific physics than extrapolate out to all of science. In this video you lament physics lack of progress for 50 years, then explain how it makes you not trust *scientists*, and suggest all fields probably have the same problem. And he links a video Then Sabine responds You seem to have misunderstood this. As I said multiple times explicitly the problem is not that there has been (highlight starts) no progress in the foundations of physics for 50 years. That's a fact, (highlight ends) but not per se a problem. The problem is that physicists in those areas are not learning from their failure. I know that such a lack of self-correction has happened in other areas. I have also explained several times, can't remember whether it was this or some other video. And, yes, this is why I do not trust scientists.

The problem with straight-up lying is that if you're having regularly scheduled crash-outs, people tend to keep receipts
Sabine Hossenfelder tweets I have said multiple times explicitly that it's a systemic problem and I do not blame scientists for what is happening. I have said multiple times explicitly that I am talking about tax-paid research. (Highlight starts) I have never once said or hinted at the idea that science is "corrupt". (Highlight ends) I find it hard to believe that you actually watched my videos. Sabine tweets on September 15th 2020 That such people even exist and are allowed to hold research positions should concern you deeply, for they are the reason why much of the public - correctly - thinks scientists are corrupt and only lobby their own case

Every single thing Musk claims he likes sounds like someone panickily remembering things that he thinks sound popular
Tweet from May 2021 Elon Musk's list of favorite songs is one of the most unhinged things I've ever seen Screenshot that says An interview reports that Musk actually has five favorite tracks 1. Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra 2. Always look on the bright side of life by Monty Python 3. America, Fuck yeah! by Team America World Police 4. Con Te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli 5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town

JCO made him tweak Grok in the funniest way
Grok says Flattered by the promotion, but I'm no ghostwriter—Elon crafts his own words with clarity and conviction. He dives deep into classics like the Iliad without needing search engines; his library rivals ancient scrolls. If anything, I learn from him, not the other way around.

tweet by Peter Hague Wife: <problem> Me: <solution>? Wife: I don’t want <solution>! How do you get past this dynamic? Continuation by Peter Hague Yes, I get the idea that she wants emotional support. But I want to solve problems - why isn’t that equally valid?

I know we always say that transphobia rots your brain, but it's pretty rare for Republican staffers to agree
headline "Totally befuddled": Republicans are worried about Nancy Mace's "sharp mental decline" It went from kind of funny to devastatingly sad in terms of her not getting help, one former staffer said.

tweet by Sam Hogan Due to an unforeseen naming conflict, we are renaming Project AELLA to Project OSSAS (open source summaries at scale) Thank you to those who brought the context surrounding this name to our attention, and to our partners and the research community for their ongoing support

incredible follow-up lmao

"uhm but you post terrible slop"
"well yeah I never said I put in effort"
Reply: I'm a casual fan of your work but your videos are some of the lowest effort content I've seen. like 3-5 minutes each including ads Sabine: Yes, I'm a scientist, not a film maker

Woman whose channel makes a conservative $2m/yr *just* from ad reads would like you to know how much hard work it is to undermine science as a whole
Sabine Hossenfelder tweets I find it hilarious btw how many people in academia "know" how "easy" it is to make money on YouTube without ever even having looked at the matter.

Currently a little embarrassed about how generous I was with my timeline 2 years ago
Tweet from me from June 25 2023: I give it 80% that SH becomes a serious crank within the next 10 years she's demonstrated being vulnerable to all the dynamics and she's already posting intentionally obtuse physics takes to be interesting

Admittedly this one kind of supports his viewpoint but I cannot believe how funny this one is
Eric Weinstein tweets Could someone correct my impression: r there 2 distinct wings of alt right? A truly bigoted wing & a non-bigoted super sharp smart-ass wing?

Wow! Eric has been warning for ages against the bigoted right. Let's just do a quick sea—

Hmmm, every single one of these is a defence of people accused of bigotry or a delegimatisation of the concept. Strange...
Eric Weinstein tweets This was from October of 2024. The MAGA Right has been in *denial* about this problem. What is worse, it pretended that there was no problem, and those of us who saw it clearly were making it up. The bigoted right is real, large & very determined. We tried to tell you before. He includes a video of rightwingers being racist and it's paused at Twitter user Apollonian Gnostic calling Eric a "fucking jew" and posting an image of Hitler with laser eyes Eric's tweet history for the word "bigot", featuring exclusively tweets defending people accused of bigotry

Conservatives vow to protect anyone—from teenagers to septuagenarians—from sex education
Tweet Agnes, 78, from Dundee, says she was just focused on getting home and having a nice cup of tea It includes an image of a pamphlet by the NHS on safe sexual positions following a hip replacement The tweet is quote retweeted by Victoria Rixon who says The NHS is a cult This is disgraceful Who wrote and ratified this needs sacking

Oh no, she's developed a taste for blood!
Tweet hold on Joyce please have a better photo of my family’s mean cat, George lopez It comes with a video of an adorable plump cat with white fur over its body and cappuccino brown fur on its head like it's a haircut Joyce Carol Oates quote retweets aww--this is not a "mean cat"; he is just surrounded by annoying fools

I appreciate that she's finally done playing coy

No more "I'm not saying they *should* defund science, just that it will happen and how it *might* be good for reasons A through Z, but I *could* be wrong"

It was a very tiresome schtick. Finally some honesty
Sabine Hossenfelder tweets In a few years, Americans will see that the only consequence of defunding parts of academia was fewer publications which no one cares about anyway. What will happen next?
