"Is Betteridge's Law a Thing?"
-
Side note: now that "MTG" refers to a crazy lady, I wonder if Magic: The Gathering can sue for damage to reputation.
-
Humorous, but "woke lefties being silly" feels like small potatoes in an age where the GOP is ~50% taken over by a literal violent cult.

Trump only has one day left to unveil his health care plan. I bet it's going to be a doozy.
-
Aha clme, but what if the rioters believed it was okay to invade the capital and beat a cop to death?
-
My dude, he's the president. If he wants accurate information, he can order any number of three letter acronyms to get it for him. If he was fed bullshit by his advisors, that's on him for surrounding himself with bullshitters. Blaming others for hi…

I don't know what you're trying to say. The dude said untrue things that incited his followers to riot - that much is demonstrably true. Are you saying it's okay as long as he believed the stuff he said?

@Bill said: It read like he wanted a loud demonstration. There's nothing in there that implies he wanted them to occupy the Capitol. Dude, the cat and his surrogates lied for months to those people, that their country was being literally…

Bill: "by carefully examining subtle nuances of word choice in this apparently neutral article, I can tell that the author is deeply biased against Trump" Also Bill: "when Trump spent an hour lying to an angry mob that their country was being sto…

Incidentally here's video of the folks walking in and out again:

@LonMabonJovi said: They were weird tweets to be sure, but he wasn't calling for blood. He did it in person. Incited/insurrection language isn't from me, it's per Mitt Romney, NYT, WaPo, etc. Hell even the turtle called it a failed ins…

Ah catching up now, US president is inciting insurrection, cool cool 😎
-
Hey, haven't read the news yet today, anything interesting happen?
-
-
Impossible. Making fun of things involves humor, of which the current right wing sphere isn't capable.
-
This confused the hell out of me. One day I woke up and half my twitter feed was about right wing loons taking a sudden and passionate interest in titles for doctorates, and it took a while to piece together why.
-
Less of a sick burn and more of a hand-waving subtweet to be honest.
-
Fair point really, no reason we can't have a few more before everything collapses.
-
If the GOP's dalliances with sedition wind up bearing fruit, the history book summary a few centuries later will be pretty humorous. The country's sudden collapse in the mid-21st century is generally attributed to internecine conflict over a T…

Oh hey, a new column by the guy dismissed as a fascist and a bigot by bleeding heart liberals like (checks notes) Bill Buckley and Charles Krauthammer. Sounds worth reading!
-
Random thought: Trump's weird reluctance to condemn white supremacism becomes extra disturbing when you consider how indiscriminately he lies about things. Like, when he needs to burn a former aide or a long-time associate or whatever, it's alway…

Immigration a non-issue? What about all those caravans?
-
That's..... not what that word means. In the context of Bayes, "prior" means the marginal probability that a premise is true separately from the conditional you're examining. In effect, it's how strongly you would believe the premise if you didn'…

Earth has 4 days simultaneously each rotation. You erroneously measure time from 1 corner. This all is obvious to the non-mind controlled. cool cool
-
Well that answers my question That said, "failed but was worth a try" is an odd take. I mean, love the guy or hate him, he's been incredibly predictable. Everything we now know to be bad about him was completely obvious from the start; everythi…

@Bill said: I think you are simply wrong in starting with the assumption that the police hired by a wealthy community are a bunch of clowns. Stop imagining beliefs for everyone you disagree with. My starting assumption is simply that ther…

As I read dystopian headlines, eroding democratic norms, post office stuff, ICE giving women hysterectomies, Trump saying more weird shit, etc., in the back of my mind part of me wonders what Bill thinks when he reads the same headlines. Fake news? …

Basically: the cops heard a rumor tigers might be coming, so they sprayed some tiger repellant around, and ultimately no tigers came. Did the cops save the city from tigers? The most we can say is: if there's any evidence that they didn't, they didn…
