  • @Clme said: But renting a car, with their credit card and verified drivers license...? That's the epistemic issue, yeah. If you assume somebody is a looter and then find they're driving a rental, you can fit that into your narrative and t…
  • @Bill said: That it is all some big police lie is not the way to bet. Why do you never read what you're replying to? I didn't claim police lied about anything. I pointed out that the nothing in the press account is inconsistent with the h…
  • The Bayesian prior is that they were random people randomly driving to Santa Monica, and nothing in the press account is inconsistent with that.
  • @Bill said: I would count a caravan of looters to be a sign of coordination. A skeptic might point out that there's a fair swath of epistemological real estate between "a caravan of looters" and "a police press release mentioning a carava…
  • Your President said: So shower heads, you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out. You want to wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer, you take a shower longer. Because my hair, I don’t know …
  • Welcome home grandpa! pen was blocked I mean that's fair.

  • Classic. To clarify, the text in the "Republicans will be hunted" one was verbatim tweets from whatsisface the nutball author.
  • You guys are selling Bill short. I'm sure his claim that racism isn't widespread is backed up by multiple vdare blog posts by white people.
  • @eod please fix the ~~ macro, thanks
  • @Bill said: As far as I can see, the first autopsy does not. Have you read it? Google the words involved. It's not in the PDF you linked but one or two news sites covered it. Focusing on that isn't the useful bit, though. Again, the im…
  • @Bill said: I don't think they killed him. I think he OD'd and would have OD'd whether or not they held him down. That's lunacy. Both autopsies ruled the death homicide. most anyone who has anything to lose is either keeping his mou…
  • Tuned in to hear you say "this is my kiddo, he streams on Mixer". Nice timing
  • @Bill said: If you feel it's illegitimate to consider issues upon which you are not expert, that's your decision, but it makes me wonder how you navigate life. Move up one meta-level Disregarding the experts and forming your own conclusi…
  • Apparently dikumud is about to drop a new version, with a web client. Oh the times, oh the morays.
  • I'd forgotten all about ICC. ICC
  • I also read the autopsy and formed an opinion about its legal implications, because I definitely understand all the medical and legal issues involved so I wouldn't just be telling myself what I wanted to hear.
  • Jeebus. Did Trump really tweet a conspiracy theory about that 75 year-old who was bleeding out of his ears on live TV?

  • Trump's tweets lately genuinely sound like a Stan Lee-era comic book villain, the kind who spends a lot of time gloating about how foolishly the heroes have walked right into his latest trap.

  • That was pretty neat.
  • My modern ska itch gets scratched by a band I ran across called The Holophonics. They cover everything. Random sampling: * For the longest time * Don't you forget about me * Zelda medley * Brandy you're a fine girl * Let's do the timewar…

  • Arguably the most famous comedian in Japan just died of covid. Hopefully it makes folks take it a little more seriously...
  • I'm kind of morbidly curious how people like Pence or McConnell think they're going to be treated in history books. Do they just not care? They can't realistically not know, can they?
  • We are holding up, we have a small bit of dry goods stored away as earthquake preparedness. Life of here hasn't changed much; the government isn't really pushing social distancing as much as it could. But the fact that everyone over here pretty much…
  • I mean, he's promised to pick a woman as a running mate, so this may not exactly be 8-dimensional chess...
  • I wouldn't worry too much. I mean sure, it's a burgeoning global pandemic, but the administration has already announced a plan to, uh (checks notes) create a new DOJ office focused on revoking citizenship from naturalized citizens
  • The president of the US is a youtube comment.
  • Think how weird that would have looked without the violin accompaniment.
