  1. My biggest gripe with Woke 1.0 is that it advocated for causes that will always be disliked by most voters, such as packing the Supreme Court, BDS on Israel, and abolishing ICE.

  2. RIP King of Norway. IIRC there’s some controversy with lesser members of the royal family over Epstein connections, but the King himself seemed pretty cool

  3. Time zones are dumb. We should learn from China and have one time zone for the world.

  4. >The Times: President Trump might impose tariffs on the UK over the British government’s plan to impose a comprehensive trade ban on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

    Fuck that

  6. I am once again reminded that most people are conspiracy theorists, and the practical line between “conspiracy theorist” and “ordinary person” pretty much boils down to how weird your particular epistemically unsound beliefs to the average person.

    “NASA faked the moon landing” -> conspiracy theory

    “Pollsters are colluding to manipulate election outcomes” -> normal belief

    Oh I didn’t realize the next Israeli election is so soon. And so close to the US midterms too.
