I think the number of people who find this difficult is entirely expected. Just spend some time in the comment section on any news story and you'll see that a lot of people have very poor reading comprehension, let alone critical reasoning ability.

You can say I'm cynical, but I've given up on people's ability to think. Humans are fundamentally irrational beings.

Hey @Microsoft, screw your and your dumb Copilot, too. Nobody asked for that annoying popup icon in Word that is impossible to get rid of. Seriously, what is wrong with all of you tech idiots trying to force AI on us?

Oh, the liar lied to you? Shocking! Who could have predicted this turn of events?
BUYERS REMORSE! This is Jason Zugai, VP of the Steel Workers Union, speaking at a Trump rally during the campaign. Earlier this week Trump announced he will block the US Steel- Nippon deal. "For me, yeah, very frustrated with the news. He lied to us. It's like a gut punch."

Pastor at my old church (the guy who replaced me): "I bet you're thinking, 'I've never heard a sermon about genealogies.'" He's talking about a passage in Matthew I preached on just a few years ago. 😐

Honestly what is wrong with these people?
Rep. Troy Nehls (R., Texas): "If Donald Trump says tariffs work, tariffs work. Period. Because Donald Trump is really never wrong." Young people will have to believe me: The conservative movement was not like this, and neither was the Republican Party.

I've been spending more time where the skies are bluer, and it is quite refreshing. Not sure how much I'll be on this site anymore. If you've been thinking about making the jump, do it. It's worth it.

I'm sorry, what? You're going to have red state national guards invade blue states to enforce mass deportation? How exactly is that going to work?
AP: “He has spoken about deploying the National Guard, which can be activated on orders from a governor. Stephen Miller, a top Trump adviser, said sympathetic Republican governors could send troops to nearby states that refuse to participate.” #copolitics apnews.com/article/trump-day…

A 🧵 on preferred names and pronouns: Awhile back I was on a field trip with one of my sons. My son and his friend spotted a classmate. "Hi Johnny," the friend called out. "Hi Jonathan," my son said. "Oh yeah, I mean Jonathan," said the friend. (Name changed for privacy.) 1/

We live in an age of selfishness and cruelty toward others. (Just take a scroll through this website and you can find countless examples.) What the world needs is not more self-centered jerks with no regard for anyone else. 8/

We need people who are kind, even when they personally stand to gain nothing from it. It seems like this Middle Eastern guy who lived a long time ago said something about that. Oh yeah. "Do to others as you would have them do to you." That sounds pretty good to me. 9/end
