I practice a secular form of meditation that has been described as a means of training attention in order to avoid the kind of mind-wandering he is describing. There's a belief among some in the...

This was one of tpusa's hires. They did fire her. Look at her racist statement. She claims she made it as a teenager, which would have to mean it...

I hadn't seen that project 2025 link. That's terrifying to me. I read what tpusa commentators say on twitter. They are dangerously unhinged.

It's amazing anyone could take comfort from the first...

In my view Trump poses a fairly unique threat to the rule of law and there's no policy difference on the table right now more significant than that. He is someone who has tried to break down...

Thanks. I will be back for sure but I've taken some time off just bc i've had a lot going on at work. Then i thought i was probably spending too much time staring at a screen anyway. But I still read...

Lol he actually does!

If I didn't talk to anyone who ever condescended me I'd have far fewer people to talk to. Sometimes people insult me or say something I don't like but I hear them say other useful things later on.
...

I'm not saying this because I've interacted with him over the years but because it's my read generally. It seems a little thin-skinned to block someone you think was merely rude in a politics forum....

I'll offer a guess. I think some of the same human tendencies that make people grasp at religious doctrines may also be at the root of discrimination. But that wouldn't mean religion causes...

Someone who does this should lose credibility for all time. I could not have been more sensitive to the atrocity carried out by Hamas and yet was worried in advance about the Israeli response....

I agree. I definitely agree that Israeli intransigence is caused by the U.S. providing vetoes for obvious violations of international law. If I were Israeli I would want the international response to...

This is not directed towards anyone here but I often see these same issues that come up with respect to civilians and you can either trust me or not that I am not responding to a strawman among...

I am getting flu shot in November. I had what was probably the flu (but not covid since I tested) in the week before my covid shot. I didn't feel like getting flu shot at the same time even though I...

I've mentioned that I'm in a group chat of about 50 people with similar politics on twitter. Everyone agrees they want an alternative and about every week someone finds a site and distributes links...

I got the original pfizer series back in 2021 and kept my boosters up to date. Last September I got the Moderna updated bivalent booster that had additional protection against omicron but still...

His most recent tweet was that Russell Brand is not evil. I can't imagine tweeting something like that. If you aren't sure about the charges (I think they're very likely true), say you'd like to see...

Yes and this is a worse idea even though his ad revenue is way down. I think he must not care about the money in twitter at all. He is using it as a personal microphone, using it to promote his idea...

If someone cannot even summarize the basics of a subject, their "theories" on that subject should not be taken seriously. RFK Jr. also said covid was engineered as an ethnic bioweapon to attack...

I think that's probably right. If you look at his account and who he is cosying up to, I think it explains a lot about his decisions with respect to Ukraine as well. But he has at times parroted...

Anyhow, it's worth pointing out that absolute free speech would include disagreeing with bigots and advocating that brands should not want to associate themselves with them. Unless the idea is to...

I liked most of that article by Yair Rosenberg in the Atlantic and think it sums up the situation pretty well.

Ironically, I don't think Musk has really strong opinions about Jews, which is...

I think you hit the nail on the head. Even mutual and hedge fund managers who make hundreds of decisions per year need a pretty long track record before one should be convinced they are skillful...

I also think this is unintended candor. He pretends he's talking about removing burdensome regulations and increasing efficiency, but what happened at twitter is cherrypicked regulation, which is...

There's no phrase for backpedaling across the rubicon.

Joe Rogan is an antivaxxer. He is not just asking questions any more than someone obsessed with the construction of gas chamber doors at Auschwitz is simply interested in carpentry. That should be...
