I don’t care if Lindsey Graham was gay for male escorts, I care that he was gay for $8 trillion worth of war.

Philomena: Some people have been writing PHP for over 20 years. Is that because it's particularly difficult to finish? Expert: No, software is constantly evolving. Philomena: So they've been writing the same website for 20 years? Expert: No, different projects. Philomena: Have they tried finishing one before starting another? Expert: That's not how software development works. Philomena: My mate Paul spent 20 years building a shed. Turned out he was just an alcoholic. Expert: Right. Philomena: Is PHP like that?

Thought this was satire but no, just a real article by the new head of the American Psychological Association. This shit gets branded as “far left” but it’s just Influencer Slop gussied up with academic jargon. “Doing me unapologetically” and “hyping up my friends” is “science.”
"Black pussy theory is the critical and creative tradition of considering how Black women and their genitalia figure into interlocking discourses of race, gender, and sexuality.” The new president of @APA doi.org/10.51681/1.811

The funny part is that there are legit questions as to where Talarico was for 8-13 days but those dumbasses fucked it up so bad that now it doesn’t matter & the effect is a boomerang that will boost him in the polls…& it’s coming out that Paxton’s campaign was behind it all or at least contributing to it. Makes him look incredibly desperate

I didn’t know Talarico was diabetic, which explains why he had the flu for 12 days. Diabetics are 6 times more likely to end up in the hospital with the flu and 3 times more likely to die from it. Weird how no MAGA’s seem to mention that point.

And now the subjective part: for *me*: #s 1 and 2 are too "hard" (an ordeal). #s 9 & 10 are too "easy" (boring). The middle ground is the right hardness.

I'm glad I have free will, which is the ability to have done otherwise, which is something I've never done. I've never done otherwise in my whole life

At an Oct. 5 midterm rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, Trump discussed the Iran war and related gas prices: “And again, remember, with the war, it’s just artificial. It’s a little bit high. It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.” He said the US is winning and the conflict is nearly over to stop Iranian nukes.

Yeah, #4 is false. Yes, I'm a materialist.
the "Hard Problem" in a nutshell: 1. atoms aren't conscious 2. humans are made of atoms 3. humans are conscious 4. so at least one of 1-3 must be false Panpsychists say #1 is false Dualists say #2 is false Illusionists say #3 is false Materialists say #4 is false

I think the Dems will win a majority in both the House and the Senate. Not that they deserve it. But Republicans utterly deserve to lose.
It’s exactly month until the 2026 Midterms. Drop your 1-month out Midterms predictions
