  • Also mentions breakfast with bill gates, who has been mentioned so many times in connection to epstein because Bill Gates almost certainly raped children.

  • We don’t memorize phone numbers anymore, we rely on GPS to tell us where to go and Facebook reminds us of birthdays. What else will we stop remembering once AI remembers everything for us?

  • Meh, you probably should.

    Most of his students that we know of were vicious oligarchs who abolished democracy in Athens until they killed so many people that there was an uprising against them.

    If he was around today, there's a good chance he'd be part of the trump regime.

  • This is /possibly/ part of a long term trend of decreasing human reliance on brainpower.

    Brain size doesn't neatly correlate to intelligence, but it's still kind of used as a proxy, over human evolution. It gets bigger for a long time, then starts getting smaller again, starting maybe 20k-3k years ago.

    This has been attributed to group size, agriculture, writing or statistical error. So maybe it's not a thing.

    What did "Tylenol" do to make Trump so angry at it?

    Jump

  • their quest to control women’s bodies entirely.

    I think they're just trying to kill more women. Similarly to how they're doing everything they can to encourage trans people and non whites to die more frequently. We're in the pre-holocaust phase.

    Targeting tylenol further endangers women during pregnancy - one of the riskiest times for a woman's health. The way they rolled out their abortion ban with so much ambiguity also maximizes the chance of women dying.

  • 'MAGA is a cult': Observers slam Charlie Kirk memorial as 'weird and embarrassing'

    Jump

  • New and arational beliefs seem to always proliferate at times at times of widespread cultural strain, especially when empires are starting to fall apart. Iconoclasm, the fists of righteous harmony and taiping christianity are the first examples I can think of.

    I suspect it's (at least partly) an inevitable way that societies react to stress or change.

  • Ah, could be. There's non-homogenized milk that we get sometimes here but it's nowhere as good as I remember that UK milk being. Maybe it's just distant childhood memories being incorrect.

  • Raw milk is way tastier though. The clearest memory I have from visiting the UK at 9 y/o was the milk from the milk rounds being unreasonably delicious. Like so much better i wasn't sure it was milk.

    It's obviously not the right choice to fulfill the nations milk needs, that's a public health disaster. But I wish it was available in limited, risk-minimized contexts like in most of Europe.

  • It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy

    Jump

  • We don't have a representative democracy.

    According to a Princeton study from like a decade ago no major public policy has reflected public opinion since the end of the civil rights era.

    If we were a representative democracy then the will of the demos would be reflected in the government and its decisions. But it's just not.

    In practice the US has been an oligarchy for at least half a century. I suspect it always has been just with brief interludes when people power breaks through like the civil rights era and the new deal.

  • ‘Clown show’: Fierce reaction to the UFC’s White House plans

    Jump

  • [UFC boss Dana] White said: “We’re literally going to take over Washington DC that week.

    That's not ominous at all on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence, an event fetished by ultra-nationalists who tend to love UFC.

  • Republicans put tech firms in a vise on Kirk social-media posts

    Jump

  • All republicans are asking media companies to do is to promote their hate speech and censor and name anyone who disagrees with them. Just normal, sensible media policy that any fascist regime would implement.

  • What's this? The homophobic incel neo-nazi who streamed his gay porn and then claimed it was mossad is denying something?

  • The time for being "against political violence" as a general concept is long passed.

    One side has violence against anyone but themselves as their only policy. Fascism doesn't surrender to reasoned argument, law or elections.

  • It's impossible to be against violence and say anything good about that two bit hateful grifter.
