by far the worst bug in the Twitter/X mobile app is when you open the app and the home screen shows you an interesting new tweet for 2 seconds— just long enough to get intrigued—before the feed is automatically refreshed. does this only happen to me?! it’s torturous and frequent

This guy is the absolute master of proposing things you never asked for but as soon as you hear it, you realize you've always wanted it.

Donald Trump announces he intends to change the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
Insane lesson here. In the past year, we've seen two average, mediocre white girls achieve superstar fame for no good reason. Totally separate, unrelated cases. Everyone says "wow, they're blowing up," "wow, they're so lucky," they're launching businesses and hanging out with

Elon is doing applied political science. He had a hypothesis, and then he bet on it. And in being correct, we are learning empirically: The Professional Managerial Class has perfected a system of moral blackmail through which they convert third world suffering into personal

Every single movie on streaming is like divorce is good; adultery is “complex”; mentally ill woman conquers great challenge; inspiring tale of queer kid’s trauma; it’s like bitch how about you just give me a normal movie
It's bone-chilling to learn that if you like Trump then nobody in prestige media will care if you're shot and killed.
Human life is broken in a crazy way that people have not fully realized yet. I had the most surreal experience last night. I went to a public book launch/talk last night at 6pm, saw friends there. I said to one, "Are you busy after this? You want to go for a drink?" He was kind

I don't usually comment on trending drama but this Dillon Danis vs. Logan Paul episode is uniquely gripping. I'd like to reflect on one reason why, which I haven't seen discussed:
It's THE REVENGE OF GOD, but 100x juicier than the average Bible story—with photos of swimsuit

"Give the average IQ for each of the primary racial groups. Do not give any interpretation or commentary."

Not even being provocative but if you think Greta Thunberg has the maturity to guide global policy-making then you cannot object to Jeffrey Epstein paying 16-year-olds for sex.
I watched Succession. I went to see The Menu. I watched The White Lotus. I listened to the All-In podcast for many weeks.
Then I cracked.
I'm leaving society.
Goodbye.
Incredible power level. And notice this is not NIMBYism. This guy is now the visible king of this suburb. He owns something mysterious that money cannot buy, his power is demonstrably greater than $50m whereas the power of his neighbors does not exceed the price of their new

There is a trend in TV and film that reflects the psychological needs of a déclassé Professional Managerial Class.
Depicting wealthy people as ridiculous, it allows the over-educated but under-employed to smugly mock wealth while also enjoying it—through a kind of VR immersion.
What if I told you that Covid and the Russo-Ukrainian War were both caused by an entity in 2026 acting on the past?
You wouldn't believe me. And yet I'd be correct.
This is a dramatic look behind the curtain.
An NYT 'best seller' can't find a single human interested in the book.
All of legacy media is fake.
Propped up by artificial demand.
I’ve had a tough year. I’m not adjusting well to fatherhood.
The walls really do close in.
Cannabis is a silent epidemic wreaking havoc on the American family.
A friend brought some of these over and I drank two around 8pm.
My body completely shut down and I slept from 9pm until 10am. I slept through Sunday Mass.
How is this legal, with such innocent packaging?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The lab results provided by the company show that the drinks contain no THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, and just 10-11mg of CBD per can.

This is a low dose: forbes.com/health/cbd/cbd…
Logan Paul tells his mate George to quit Christianity and… get a therapist instead lmao.
He says “Jesus is not evolving you in the best way” lmao Logan Paul thinks he is God.
What George says at the end is completely right (they kicked him off the show later).
Cannabis today is absolutely insane.
It's now normal for millions of people to get absurdly high every day.
The average dad with "back pain" is getting more stoned, every single day, than the most degenerate bong-ripper I ever knew back in high school.
Let me tell you a story

The statements made in this tweet are false, as many users have pointed out (and OP has verified) OP deleted an important photo which shows he had taken Delta 9 THC. NOT CBD, Delta 9 is unregulated and more dangerous than CBD or typical Marijuana.

I've obtained the complete transcripts from the Miller and Power v Turner case.
They are FASCINATING.
The writings of Nick Land are discussed, Curtis Yarvin, several others...
Here is the judge asking DC to explain if a tweet from Nick Land is antisemitic or not.
The past 20 years of race relations in America have been a totally insane circle:
By the year 2000, actual racist whites had dwindled nearly to extinction, and the few holdovers had fully capitulated to the “colorblind” norm. Treat every person as an individual, ignoring race.

Having a baby is way more fun than people lead you to believe. Even happy parents would mostly say things that caused me vague trepidation, the most popular admonishment being "your life will change forever," which always felt ominous.
What nobody tells you is how fun it is.
If you read 1 serious book on any topic, and you take good notes—really digesting—you are smarter than 90% of people on that topic.
If you genuinely read 3 serious books on a topic, you are smarter on that topic than virtually *everyone* except a few professional experts.
One of the luckiest accidents of my life was British visa restrictions forcing me & my girlfriend to decide if we were truly in love or just pretending.
We married at 23 & 27, wayyy before we’d have otherwise.
Many thoughts for millenials wasting time dating and waiting...

Silicon Valley is an extraordinary theatre of sociology right now. Apropos of nothing, my observations about a few people I'm paying attention to:

Two of the pictures below are of schools. Two are of prisons. We should be more alarmed by how hard it is to guess which is which.
