Do you ever think, “I like Henry Ford’s antisemitism and untold wealth, but I hate how he reinvented the economy and created millions of jobs.” Well you’re in luck, because we’ve got Elon Musk.

Not only did Salman Rushdie have to live in hiding, everyone tangentially involved with The Satanic Verses was in danger. They killed the Japanese translator.

If you ever sought out the novels of Sally Rooney in bookshops – when that was still possible – you’d know they sit in the fiction stacks adjacent to the novels of another SR whose books have been withdrawn in dastardly political circumstances. Until last week, “Rooney” and “Rushdie” had little in common beyond being shelfmates; now they have more than just a physical proximity. @tanjil_rashid_: This is censorship by other means newstatesman.com/comment/202…

This is censorship by other means

The Sally Rooney affair shows how laws meant to target terrorism now suppress the freedom to dissent

Everyone needs a lawyer in a free society, I mutter to myself while stabbing my face with a fork a la Weapons.

I once got an acquittal for a guy who grabbed his wife by the hair, slapped her, and then fired a revolver next to her head… and then threw her out of the trailer and fired another round in the air outside of the trailer… because he was trying to watch the Super Bowl and she wouldn’t stop nagging him. I tried the case because there was no plea deal even offered. Two felonies, both with mandatory 10 years and no parole. Nothing to lose… After the wife testified at trial, being particularly nasty to me on cross examination, the jury apparently sympathized with my client, who had been married to her for decades, and just like that… set him free. Even the judge couldn’t believe it. That trailer is still sitting there - now abandoned - on the side of US 219 and you can still see the bullet hole in the wall.

Yeah that's the Irish's problem, hugged too much as children.

🇮🇪 The Irish state has published an advert discouraging grandparents from hugging their grandchildren, as part of a campaign designed to promote "consent".

The elephant in the room of the OoT remake is the Water Temple. That was considered needlessly frustrating at a time when games were expected to be frustrating. What are they going to do in the age of yellow paint.

I'm just going to assume any pollster I've never heard of is straight up fabricated. I know it's unfair but they should have policed their industry better.

It's insanely bad that a Russian stooge will almost certainly be in charge of the DGSE by next year.

Pretty disastrous polling results for centrist candidates in France from the riots. Le Penn and Melenchon gaining and Attal, Philippe and Retailleau losing -4.5% in six days.

Way too many developers are using "story mode" to mean "easy mode." Story mode trivializes the difficulty, it doesn't mean letting you take your eye off the ball only a little bit. Yes I did just get to the final boss of Onimusha, how did you know.

Every election the left is presented with the world's easiest trolley problem, and every time they smirk and go "the trolley shouldn't exist" and then walk away.

Americans really believe that if they protest “respectfully”, vote hard, and switch up political parties every so often, the most powerful, warmongering, ruthless empire in existence will relinquish its power to them. This is why they are the most propagandized people on Earth.

Biden tried and all it got him from the left was a moronic theory that he designed it to get struck down by the courts.

I had a suspicion that everyone was just assuming all French riots have been about the same thing since 1832.

You see, the greatest French writer in history, Victor Hugo wrote an entire novel about how looting to feed yourself and your family is not a crime or personal failing, but a fundamental flaw of a corrupt system that gives you no other choice
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
In Les Misérables Jean Valjean stole one loaf of bread to feed his sister's seven children. Recent Paris looting involved crowds taking cigarettes jewelry luxury goods and consumer items from stores. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Valj… en.wikisource.org/wiki/Les_Mis%C… thelocal.fr/20261018/never…

Is it just me or does the DSA take a lot of votes on expelling people.
Peter Sterne@petersterneOct 20
DSA's national leadership had been expected to vote tonight on whether to unendorse or expel Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, who's been endorsed by DSA-LA. Instead, the vote has been delayed for another week.

🔴 CAMPAÑA DE FLÁVIO BOLSONARO ESTÁ UTILIZANDO INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL PARA CAMBIAR LA APARIENCIA DE SUS SEGUIDORES Manipulación digital de sus actos, donde adherentes habrían sido transformados en mujeres. Sería una alteración deliberada de la imagen pública de sus seguidores. Los monarcas de las redes sociales y de la IA están atentando contra la democracia.

They don't think that's change, they think elections are change, and they're correct.

Why does Big Data think I live in Alaska? I get fundraising texts for Alaska races, surveys on Alaska issues, and I was even once polled for an Alaska race. I have never been to Alaska.
