So much of the climate hysteria is just aimless guilt roaming the earth in search of futile acts of atonement.

Two things are fundamentally in tension here: The people who care for the elderly need to be paid fairly for difficult and important work (I also don't think you want to underpay the person keeping your mom alive and healthy). But paying someone else's full-time salary is beyond the means of most Americans. Which is why, obviously, this is a place government needs to step in to help with the burden. Ditto childcare. None of this can, or should be, managed alone.

watched someone die today. FYI: code blues are NOTHING like what they portray in the shows. them niggas was in there laughing and shit while giving compressions it’s genuinely confusing to me

Dr. Hans-Hermann Hoppe criticizes any comparison between Gaza and the Holocaust, citing the lack of forensic evidence and the nature of the Nuremberg trials in contrast to the videos of Israeli criminality. “Nothing like this happened in WWI. Nothing like this happened in WWII.”

there are no gun grabbers. that is not a thing. it is a made up term by people who profit off the sales of guns. stop using imaginary terms.

It's really sad that the games industry is drained by a 30% tax on gross revenue. You could vibe code a Steam alternative in a week. Cloudflare egress is basically free. The industry is in desperate need of a distribution platform that allows developers to keep their revenue. Networks effects and the fanatic obsession with "muh Steam library" will make this very difficul. But if devs could actually keep their earnings, we'd have a greater selection of better games and far more financial success stories.

That the Communist hammer and sickle isn’t commonly regarded as evil and offensive as the Nazi swastika is a failure of education.

Healthcare is the only industry that drops your cancer scan results into an app at 11 PM on a Friday, then closes for the weekend. No call. No context. Just a PDF full of words like "suspicious" and "cannot be excluded" and a little banner that says "Sleep well!" Meanwhile billing found me in 4 hours 😐

Astonishing details in the Los Angeles fake drug rehab center case, these fraudsters were genuine monsters The fake rehab center operators were drugging their human livestock to stop them trying to leave, so they could keep the insurance money flowing

Superb article by @FeserEdward on the "scientific" delusion-- "the mechanization of the world picture"-- that still hobbles our understanding of the distinct and separate nature of things in the world. We refuse to accept both that separateness and the idea of an inherent nature in anything. The "basic conceit is human beings, in theory and practice, can and ought to transcend the limitations of their nature." This is how you get transhumanism. This is how you get murderous governments. This is how you get an addled & miserable population in the midst of incredible material comfort. claremontreviewofbooks.com/g…

If you receive welfare, you shouldn’t get to vote because you'd be a single-issue voter on maintaining and increasing your welfare, plus voting for any party that promises to do this.

Let me get this straight. A guy keeps getting weirdly targeted ads on his new Samsung TV. So he breaks into his own TV to find out why. 1.2M people watch. 42 hours later, OpenAI deactivates his account. Reason: "Cyber Abuse." His words: "i have never used openai to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering" Same week, people on r/claude say Claude now cuts off reverse-engineering write-ups MID-SENTENCE: "A safety check stopped my response partway through creating the playbook" The TV is fine. The guy who opened it is the problem.
