A Palestinian won the Nobel Prize last year

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Absolutely heartbroken to hear about Eric Bauza. What a kind man and immense talent. Our condolences to all his friends and family.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

I'm not sure how interested I am in GTA to be perfectly honest but I do feel strongly there should be an Austin Powers video game, baby

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Hey the reason Schumer hasn't said anything about Trump trying to deport Omar is that Schumer agrees with Trump and wants him to deport Omar. Just feels important to state that clearly

Every Republican and the vast majority of elected Democrats hate Ilhan Omar, the bravest member of congress we have, for one reason. Two actually, but they're the same thing: Muslim; rightfully criticizes the genocidal warmongering state Israel.

And from 2021 when they were all lining up to throw Ilhan Omar under the bus as a terrorist sympathizer. www.welcometohellworld.com/everything-a...

Honestly the last time Twitter was fun was when Trump got Covid and that was one moment on a site that hadn’t really been fun for years. Peak Twitter was 2011-2016. Then it mostly sucked shit.

It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.
