Open warning that Alex de Vries, the Dutch guy writing about huge energy consumptions, is a methodologically discredited writer. He has been outed as spouting nonsense multiple times, and has recently shifted from "blockchain" to "AI". He is not a trustworthy source to build credible arguments on.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

That's why I added that the ones who are honest and consistent are mostly being drowned out by the howling of the morons.

I know a few consistent and well-read ones. Knowing them makes one realise how much off the mark all the rest are.

US libertarians on the whole have always been crypto authoritarians, in my experience. There are exceptions, but drowned out by the howling mob.

I have many opinions, and one of the stronger ones is that it is mostly a waste of time and a net loss to the world to share my opinions. Except this one, of course.

Schoof tweet dat Orbán geen mandaat heeft om met Putin te onderhandelen en Wilders sluit zich op dezelfde dag aan bij de fractie gesticht door Orbán. Nee, gaat heerlijk op dag 3 van de coalitie.

Het woord "patriot", een benaming voor iemand die exclusief voor de belangen van zijn eigen natiestaat opkomt, is een totaal absurde term als die gebruikt wordt door een fractie in de Europese Unie.

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

Strategie, want gericht op de lange termijn. Baudet paste het gisteren tactisch toe, door Omvolking gisteren met de woordenboekdefinitie te benaderen nadat Omtzigt de AIVD-definitie voor had gelezen. Alsof woorden geen context hebben. Klassiek truukje.

Het ging mij meer om het loslaten van elke vorm van toetsing aan de feiten, drijvend op de zekerheid dat de achterban zelf liever ook zou wegkomen met de grofste inconsistenties. Hij gaat veel verder dan alleen racisme, wat mij betreft.

Truss blaming the Human Rights Act for the loss, because it precluded the Tories from deporting more immigrants, is on another level.

The deputy PM of the PVV actually live tweeted during the debate a message which directly goes against the government position and defended it by pointing out she was angry at the oppositions attack on her 10 year long anti-Muslim remarks.

Today, on their effing first day in power, they already managed to damage the authority of their own PM. It's not even undermining institutions, it's a complete unwillingness to look past their own preferences and the current moment.

People don't believe such parties make an unbelievable mess of a country. The last 25 years we had them three times (List Pim Fortuyn and Party for Freedom twice now) and each time they could not even muster the minimum of collegial cooperation.

Took only an hour for some Tories to point to the outlier low poll of 64 seats and now proclaim victory for getting 131. It's that kind of maths that will keep them losing.
