The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is the Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling - Thomas Sowell describing 90% of Twitter.

@RupertLowe10 So true. We English speakers are famous for never expecting other countries to make accommodations for us...

Please, *please* can we have more of this and more people like this?
I apologise once again for contributing to this insane media environment 😣—am deleting this tweet. And will try to stay silent while the zone continues to flood. Thanks to @jessesingal for pointing out my error. 😖

Every single group of people who put their faith in Donald Trump (except for billionaires, of course) is going to regret it.
Trump offering to clear Gaza and build America stuff…. That’s gotta make all the “Free Palestine” folks who voted for Trump to stick it to Biden happy. Well done as always.

@AndyHermanNFL @coreybehnke I was completely with the important and eloquently stated sentiments you expressed until I read this. But you said sushi sucks and so now I must join the tacos people. Truly humanity is divided.

Some say Elon's a nazi. Some say he's on the spectrum. We can at least agree he's on the nazi spectrum. Truth is, everyone's on the nazi spectrum. It goes from zero nazi, all the way to proud nazi, all the way to full blown Hitler. But there's quite a distance from point A to point B, and from point B to point C. We know Elon's not A. He may or may not be B. But he's not quite C. So yeah, you could say he's a "not C"

@OneHegemony @campbellkevin74 @dlboardman @JamesSurowiecki @atrupar ...somebody else entirely posted a screenshot with details of last year's spending. This is obviously not a lie at all but simply added context. Again, you might claim this is irrelevant to the PR claim, but it's obviously not a lie, never mind a provable one.

@OneHegemony @campbellkevin74 @dlboardman @JamesSurowiecki @atrupar No, it's not a lie. You could maybe argue it's not relevant, but most logical people would think it provides important context. Is it "POSSIBLE" the US government is suddenly sending billions of condoms to Gaza after previously sending none? I guess. Is it LIKELY? No.

So look - on the "Gaza condoms" thing. USAID procures condoms for around $0.05 apiece. $50m would be ONE BILLION condoms. What's going is here is NOT a billion condoms for Gaza. What's going on is that the bros at DOGE apparently can't read govt spreadsheets.

@OneHegemony @campbellkevin74 @dlboardman @JamesSurowiecki @atrupar OP said the claim that $50 million was about to go to condoms in Gaza is a lie. None of us can say for sure. But we can note that $0 was allocated for condoms in Gaza in 2023, and ask ourselves how likely it is that number was bumped to $50 million in 2024. I think not very.
