Imagine being so unwilling to read that you’re unable to find a real Orwell quote on the importance of truth. Truly astounding.

They had fought effectively against Japan, beaten the French, beat the US, then beat China. Then routed Cambodia.
It’s fucking nuts to think they were just some angry farmers.

Rothko is an insanely popular artist. Rich people love the status symbol of privately owning important works of art.
It’s not remotely surprising that it went for $82, regardless of whether or not Joomillion knows anything about art.

Business class for long-haul flight today is infinitely better than all these 60s/70s shots people love to post.
Food on most airlines is legitimately good, and you get a literal bed.
@osamabishounen
It’s not like they were particularly thorough with Japanese War criminals. Anyone outside the first batch straight up walked back into government.
@Grzabjj
That’s been his whole MO the entire time. It’s inexcusable that the media falls for what they are specifically told is a cynical political ploy, every time.
@maxdubler
‘Transit in city x sucks, so city x shouldn’t build more transit’ is by a long way the biggest trigger I have.
Uber’s success is directly linked to how artificially restricted the taxi supply was. It’s entirely unrelated to broader transit systems.
@ImNotOwned
The biggest podcast is Joe Rogan. The biggest cable news channel is Fox. Elon was the richest non-sovereign ruler in the world. And the people who word for word copy them think they’re being countercultural.
A phenomenal feat of propaganda.

How exactly is an all-time great cricket player and a high school softball player a legitimate comparison? This is like responding to a basketball recruit vid with an AI highlight reel.
@hannahgais
The existence of the categories ‘philosophy/self-improvement’ and ‘exonomics/personal finance’ are hilarious.
I also doubt he’s read more than maybe 4 or 5 books from this list.
@KrangTNelson
The obvious thing to do would be to shotgun at least 3 beers, thereby actually demonstrating his “defiance” (of a guideline that literally nobody cares about in the first place).

Nope. As a vet, she could go fuck herself, except she’s dead, so she can’t. Don’t waste your time defending her, spend it trying to hold the assholes who radicalized her accountable.

Because SUVs are super popular. Going after them would burn a ton of political capital and probably get thrown out by the SC as free speech or some other spurious reason.

Revolutions occur due to mass movements but generally only the extremists are well organized enough to take them over. Happens all the time.

The far right is terrified of having shops, supermarkets and restaurants within a walkable distance from housing.
Because if you walk instead of drive you might not be terrified of your neighbours.
@nikicaga
But you forget, the only true path to revolution is performative tweeting, so anything that gets in the way of that must be counter-revolutionary.

Mecca isn’t a population centre. It’s there for the show. It’s gunna be garish because the people with the worst taste in the world - oil billionaires - are designing it.
This isn’t a NIMBY/YIMBY question.

This whole issue is because people, today, with the full knowledge of history are defending Molotov-Ribbentrop.
Nobody is defending Chamberlain.
@dieworkwear
Why don’t insanely rich people (especially politicians) hire people for this? It’s insane to me.
Hiring people who are experts to do shit you don’t like doing is like 95% of the benefit of being wealthy.
@JasonKirk_fyi
I’m assuming the purpose of Defence contractors sponsoring bowls is to take politicians to their sponsor’s suite. It probably pays off *way* more than any other sponsor.

His entire thing was being the median Democrat. Do that for decades and you’ll have some good things, some bad things and a lot of weird compromises on your resume.
It won’t win the purists over, but they don’t vote anyway so their opinion is literally irrelevant.

They’re explicitly called out in the last one, since we know what ‘all’ means in this context, and that’s their self-chosen name. What more do these people want?
@theserfstv
No worries, Benny Shaps is reliably informed by his wife that a small box office is a sign of great success, and anything that draws over $1bn actually has a medical condition.

You only tweet about American culture war issues. It doesn’t matter where you live if mum doesn’t let you leave the house.

The myth that cars give you freedom immediately falls apart as soon as you compare life with a car in a car-centric society vs living in a place with an effective transit system.

That’s one way. You can also use share value as collateral (literally the entire justification for the stock market), or use value as evidence of future worth for VC, or, or, or.

The models aren’t “breaking down”. People outside the admin responded to them and changed the curve. See, unlike “build the wall”, people with functioning brains expect the verb in “flatten the curve” to happen. Because we’re not fucking LARPing
@revhowardarson
The Iraq war movement had popular support, was enormously well attended and achieved literally nothing. In large part because it was modeled on Vietnam.
Anyone who thinks that a mass protest March can achieve anything needs to explain how it differs in meaningful ways from that.
