On a day when JD Vance effectively admitted to another fabrication, as well.
This not only screams BS but makes me question other similar events which seemed to have perfect timing and a nice photo op.
I’ve seen this one. This is the one where a bunch of Republicans are like “I’m a never Trumper” and then a month later they’re all on the floor kissing his feet.
In conclusion, the results support the hypothesis that fecal knives are usually shitty knives

Good thing he gutted Twitter’s content moderation teams in the name of “free speech”, eh?
If I had a dollar for every time a billionaire loses more money than I could ever dream of because their hubris got in the way or they misunderstood a concept or were just plain dumb – well, I guess I’d be a billionaire too.
How in the hell have the worst among us consistently been put into positions of power? These folks are an embarrassment to the country.
This is disturbingly accurate.
Welp, we’ve already seen plenty from these folks about how they would “lead”. No thanks.
Can you imagine how incredibly different things would be right now had Biden stayed in the race?
I guess that depends on your age. Even for some of the most contested elections in my lifetime (e.g. Bush v Gore 2000), supporters of either side did not have the kind of rabid quality that so many have now.
I wonder how much of that has to do with semantic drift on Elohim, i.e. by the time the oldest extant manuscripts were written, the figure was already considered singular despite retaining the noun plural morphology. The implication there would be that earlier (now lost) manuscripts may have had plural verb agreement for Elohim, or maybe simpler / more plausible, there was a time in the oral tradition where Elohim was still considered a plural figure and would have naturally gotten plural verbs.
I think the fact that the plural morphology exists on the noun at all suggests at least that the figure started as a collective.
Edit: probably also worth a mention that portions of Genesis (e.g. Garden of Eden) mirror portions of the Epic of Gilgamesh, a story which is overtly polytheistic.
Yeah. I think historically it is interesting, because the Hebrew Elohim of Genesis is in the plural, and there is evidence that followers of El believed him to be one deity in a pantheon. In that sense, Elohim and the associated creation myths have their roots in a polytheistic religion.
Yhwh was more likely a figure from a belief system of a different region which ended up co-opting the earlier stories. I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I think it is actually plausible that things like the Catholic Holy Trinity have roots in El and Yhwh technically being different figures.
While I’d love to see Kamala wipe the floor with him again, I don’t think another debate is necessary. At this point Trump’s supporters are conditioned to just believe anything he says regardless of accuracy. Not a great idea to give dude more of a platform than he already has.
For me, the number one reason to want another debate is just to give him more chances to out himself as an absolute buffoon.
But is it Yhwh or El?
The Shintō sun goddess Amaterasu is quite interesting. As is the whole Shintō origin story.
Sounds like a very interesting read. Thanks for the suggestion.
I seem to recall 2 or maybe 3 comments he made during the most recent debate which either directly complimented Putin or threatened the US on Putin’s behalf (one had to do with Russian nukes but I don’t remember the exact quote).
The point is, the fact that he’s arguably talking up a foreign power in a US presidential debate is absolutely insane.
I don’t see YT being replaced in that sense any time soon. Federated text and image content is really still in infancy, and video hosting at the size of YT is a tremendously more complex feat, requiring, at the absolute minimum: a metric crapton of bandwidth and storage.
For me, I just use invidious and similar for the foreseeable future, or peertube when there are things on it.
At the very least, not being signed in to YT and having only a local watch history and subscriptions (=not on a YT or Google account) does starve the algorithm a bit.
And he never corrected himself. Kind of strange, but I guess time is at a premium.
And the really shocking thing is how easy that was to normalize.
Talk about random thing at dinner, phone in pocket.
Post dinner, hit up Insta and boom, ad for random thing… and at that point, some people go “heh” and keep scrolling. Some likely think it’s “the algorithm” being magical and just using other context cues to guess that they would have mentioned it at dinner. Many have realized that, in fact, the devices you pay for and subscribe to are actively spying on you. Constantly.
And yet, the number of people who have opted out of using these devices and services is relatively minimum. There is a good reason for that: many of these services are so ubiquitous, they look and feel like utilities. And in some cases, they effectively are, as it can be impossible to use another service without a smartphone.
Hell, I can’t even pay my damn rent without using some stupid app.
