Lefties furious at stunning result for @Nigel_Farage who outmanoeuvred them again by denying them the opportunity to stage stupid stunts at the count. They look extraordinarily foolish today.

Ironically, Israel is living the progressive dream of having 20 political parties that represent every micro-faction, ethnicity and boutique philosophy.

Jamie Dimon to a country that pulled its gold out of New York: you have three armies within 400 miles, while gold in America is protected by two oceans and the US military “If we have the strongest military in the world and the strongest economy in the world, we will be the preeminent reserve currency. It is those two things.” “I was in a country somewhere in the Middle East, and also in Europe, and the people said, we took our gold out of the vaults in New York City and moved it to our country. You know what I said to him? I said, you have three armies within 400 miles who can come take your gold.” “That’s the real world. You’re not thinking clearly about safety. That gold is protected by the Atlantic, the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law.” “But if we are not the preeminent military and economy, you will see our reserve status come down.”

i've been confused about the amount of norm policing that women seem to do. Lots of shaming of ppl doing (imo) harmless stuff. But prob this makes sense if you're easily influenced. If you're truly vulnerable to groupthink, then you'll be incentivized to control what the group thinks. Women are more inclined towards group cohesion and conformity. I think this also explains why women seem to be so (to me) unhinged about sex in the rationalist scene. I am personally very confused by the complaints - just don't do sex if you don't want to???? Nobody is trying to make you come to orgies??? But man of them seem very sensitive around the fact that I am 'normalizing' this form of sex positivity here. But this sensitivity makes sense if they're really afraid of being the weird ones! If the entire culture becomes sex positive and they're the one not-sex-positive person, then they'd be unusual and that would be a hard and scary position to be in. So they are really reactive and aggressive about the perceived spread of stuff they're not into personally, even if there's no actual pressure on them to partake. and im like idk. i feel ya. as a very weird woman i understand that being in a position like mine can be rough

All you out there saying America should have a multiparty parliamentary government, I counter with the ungovernable clusterf*** destabilizing the world known as Israel

Trump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from

This is smart politics from Democrats: Put all of the Trump-related Epstein accusations together in one digestible document, and demand a Special Counsel investigation. Voters across the political spectrum want slate.com/news-and-politics/…

Those of us who have always hated Smashing Pumpkins really feeling vindicated.

She’s not unimpressive. Americans are too invested in containing China by pushing Taiwan to the front line of their new cold war to listen to her message of peace.

Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić reportedly intervened to push plans for controversial $500 million Trump Tower in Belgrade, which sparked protests and a criminal case theguardian.com/world/2026/o…

Most of the quotes that people show of the Bush administration promising a quick war in Iraq refer to the initial invasion and toppling of the Hussein regime. They said much less about how the military occupation of the country would go.

The doom posting is completely out of control on this site. Every third post is some blackpill thing. You need to chill out. Nobody knows anything, except for the people who are barred from talking about whatever it is or isn’t. (I did check my preps today tho… 🤷‍♂️)

I think there's an excellent chance AI skyrockets into being a defining issue for the 2028 election, probably alongside (as always), the economy.

Trump was indicted and scheduled for trial and the Supreme Court responded by making him above the law

Jair Bolsonaro thought he would be free tomorrow. Now he will spend the rest of life in jail.

2/ like MY or want his worldview to win out, you should try to understand his appeal! MY was an undeniably talented OG blogger from the very earliest days and there are clear reasons he is a Substack millionaire. It's just delusional.

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now. A dangerous and preventable situation. Let me explain. nextstrain.org/avian-flu/h5n… 1/

Very much a “the conservatives didn’t win this, the NDP lost it” election. What a fuck up.
