A "movie" (or "film") is a discursive event that takes place on X dot com, consisting of several weeks of commentary on 2 or 3 staged photographs Some have claimed that the images come from video recordings that can be viewed at certain venues, but these rumors are not credible.

There is a peculiar Third World malaise of thinking that everything of value is created by their primary industries, and all the more advanced economies like the US and Singapore and Malaysia do is steal all their profit from them. I can't tell if folks really believe that

our immigration policy should be set up so it's not inviting in millions of people whose primary consideration is using American power to prosecute their grudges from back home

Mehdi Hasan casually expressing the view that the war in Gaza is one of the most important American foreign policy issues of the last 20 years, as though that’s just the most obvious thing in the world, really is one of those, “we live on entirely different planets” moments

Male folk sociology of women is treated as a potential terrorist ideology, female folk sociology of men is taken as pop science, promoted by major institutions and accepted as a behavioural blueprint for socialisation

Ok, right off the bat, let me note with horror that Call Her Daddy's sponsors are huge and 100% mainstream: Macy's, Pandora, and Uber. The typical manosphere sponsor is something like "Based America Deer Jerky, Ltd." or "Crazy Joe's Gold Emporium"

Do people not feel any embarrassment posting these hideous mutant freak bloated AI maps—even for a joke? I guess most people are too geographically illiterate to notice anything wrong with it

Nobody has been "warned about AI capability trajectories for a decade" except for weirdo freaks in the Bay Area who spend their time reading autistic Harry Potter fanfic and novel-length Roman-numeraled blog posts

Idk, normiecattle have been, and are still, willingly ignorant about AI capability trajectories and AI dangers despite being warned about this for a decade. They need to have their faces rubbed in this until they wake up!

One of the greatest “wet roads cause rain” arguments I’ve ever seen. This study, which cites additional studies, notes that children who are suspended from school at an early age have worse behavior as they grow up. Their conclusion: suspension from school causes bad behavior to get worse.

Authors including controls for SES, "Father Absence", "Parental Incarceration" and intelligence is what the field calls "controlling for mediators". Obviously if you model black students as being exactly like white students, the effects of behavioral differences are minimized.

The key problem is this: Why would billionaires permanently leave California in response to a one-time tax owed if they lived there on January 1, 2026? It would only make sense for them to leave if the tax becomes annual. But if the tax becomes annual, it would also generate revenue annually — by virtue of, well, being annual.

I'm certain I have an early memory of my mom taking me into the polling booth with her—I remember thinking it was "boating"—And I swear I remember she said she was voting "for Clinton". Which would imply it was 1996, when I was 2½. But maybe it was actually the 1998 midterms.

What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

I have trivial memories associated with the 2000 election, 9/11, and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and I remember the 2004 election, but wasn't yet old enough to really get the substantive difference between the Democratic and Republican parties.

The first time I was truly meaningfully aware of and engaged with politics was the 2008 primaries, which my friends and I discussed and joked about extensively during 8th grade (I was a high school freshman when Obama was elected).

🇫🇷 Et si les Français avaient été écoutés sur le découpage de leur région ? A partir de tous les sondages réalisés à ce sujet depuis 2014, j'ai refait la carte des régions de France avec les principales évolutions. Voici le résultat ⤵️ 1 - Retour aux régions d'avant 2015 que les Français concernés refusaient de fusionner. 2 - Réunion de la Loire-Atlantique et du reste de la Bretagne 3 - Fusion des deux Normandies 4 - Fusion des départements alsaciens en une Région Alsace 5 - Fusion des départements savoyards en une Région Savoie 6 - Fusion des départements corses en une Région Corse 7 - Création d'une Région Catalane 8 - Création d'une Région basque 9 - Création d'une Région Vendée et maintien d'une Région Mayenne/Maine-et-Loire/Sarthe

I haven't lived in outright exurban or rural apartment buildings, but I've spent most of the last 10 years in suburban apartments. The ones I've lived in have mainly housed students—usually grad students—and early-career or transient professionals not looking buy a house.

@atlanticesqueOct 22
I was always amazed at the phenomenon of the “exurban apartment building” If I’m living, like, a 45-minute drive away from the nearest city, why would I live in an apartment? Instead of a house? That sounds like the worst of all worlds. Yet they kept getting built.

When I started my current job, 500 miles away, I needed to find housing near my employer 👏immediately👏—Obviously I wasn't going to buy a house, even apart from the fact that I don't actually want to stay here. At any rate, I certainly don't want to have to maintain a house.

Naïve third worldists are absolutely entranced by the completely fictional image of men in powdered wigs and embroidered red frock coats cracking the whip on enslaved African agricultural and industrial workers on vast latifundia in 18th-century Europe

Without Africa, there’s no France. Without African resources and labor, there is no western civilization.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
France (and many other European nations) was one of the world’s strongest nations with developed and diverse culture long before the first colonies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o…
