They did create the knife intifada that ensured that the IDF would assume that anyone trying to break into Israel was doing so to stab a pregnant Israeli and then sent a group of people to try to break into Israel, though.

I’d say it’s much less in response to trash being thrown than the “knife intifada” two years ago, when the Gazans were routinely getting into Israel to stab pregnant women (they publicized that that’s who they were targeting). Israelis don’t want a repeat of that, and think that most of the people trying to get…

I think it’s supposed to be generalized to HC’s preference for people who had been with her for a long time than people who should really be in those roles. There’s something to be said for loyalty, but Clinton surrounded herself with the types of self-styled “experts” who fill the pundit class and have given…

I WAS PROMISED WEATHER CONTROL!

I don’t think that’s what’s happening, though, as trusting it once is still trusting it. As for “starting somewhere,” it’s a bit like saying that bringing a horse to a dry riverbed is starting somewhere at making it drink. You have to actually achieve something.

One user using the site primarily is a victory. One user using the site for the minority of his injections just means he’s OD’ing elsewhere.

So are you guys ever going to follow up on the DC situation? It’s gotten kinda bonkers.

At the same time, what I’ve been hearing it that the sites that have been founded so far have shown disappointing results, with most users only using them for a small minority of their injections (you want someone to use a site for all or nearly all of his injections for there to be an effect).

Dr. Thomas Matthew (minute 14 here, written article that I haven’t yet vetted here). Like Carson, black neurosurgeon. Also like Carson, completely bonkers (probably even more so). Also like Carson, was a big deal in the black community before things started getting weird (definitely even more so). Also like Carson,…

Finally found my source (starts on the topic a bit into minute fourteen). The guy’s name was Thomas Matthew, his group’s full name was the “National Economic Growth and Reconstruction Organization,” and it was public transit rather than the postal service. Finding his name led me to a Medium article if you don’t like…

It’s also a weird trend, as America’s first black neurosurgeon was somehow even more crazy and was allied with Richard Nixon. He founded a black separtist group called “N.E.G.R.O.” that demanded that the postal service stop delivering to black neighborhoods, for example. Eventually got in trouble for embezzling money…

No, my objection is to the ubiquitous statement that Black Panther “shows audiences what Africa would look like without colonization.”

And where did I say Ethiopia represented Africa? My complaint was that people praising the movie prefer to pretend it doesn’t exist

My complaint wasn’t about the movie, though, but rather about the people writing about the movie.

Nah, it’s mainly commentators writing about the movie

Might as well post my most inflammatory hot takes here:

They get bigger as you move north and east.

I think part of it may just be that you don’t just don’t notice the stupidity within your own home if it’s not directed at you.

He asked an interesting question at one of the debates, and then internet sleuths found that he has, in fact, looked at porn at some point in his life, which makes him a Nazi somehow.

Because it’s minimum wage, as in what you get, not minimum pay.
