Deeply socially ill people who should be imprisoned to protect the rest of society like we do with violent criminals

one thing i find interesting is that a lot of old-ish accounts on here with insanely high follower counts >350k or even 1m+ get such little engagement on their posts while lower sized accounts get insanely high engagement.
obviously i know the older accounts followers likely churned a while ago but still, goes to show you follower count is not a great metric especially for quality & thoughtfulness.
unlike real capital, social capital is very much fleeting. unless you’re able to keep with the zeitgeist, it’ll disappear quickly.

at this point "free palestine" is just a slogan that means "destroy the west and everything beautiful"

France is a reminder that one of the big issues with declining birth rates is you get a class of people who don’t work, live off the public teat, and who vote to consistently hold the country hostage.
I am, of course, talking of pensioners.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Big 12 statement:
"Following the Big 12’s review of the final play of Saturday’s Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew. The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games."

I won’t even be quiet about it no more. When I played in the NFL we all knew officials were rigging games certain ways. It happens at the college ranks. Last year when I put the NFL on blast about it they threatened to pull my pension. Fck em. The world deserves to know.
