The conservative Sohrab Ahmari recently wrote a piece in which even he found Musk to be too conservative for his tastes. One of his complaints:

>A popular white-nationalist account with the handle “IAmYesYouAreNo” posts a meme declaring, “You are witnessing the biggest act of cuckoldry in human history. An entire civilisation willingly giving away its land and women.” Musk quotes the post, adding in his own words, “Accurate” (he has since deleted the response).

What's the mitigating context here? Can you adequately explain it for me?

Maybe most horrifying is that the passengers would have been aware that something was wrong because they would have seen the locked-out pilot swinging an object against the door. There supposedly exists [footage](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/01/germanwings-pa...) that passengers recorded of the plane's final moments with their phones, which survived the crash.

I used to lean towards the belief that Epstein was murdered, but as I read the reports and evidence describing the circumstances of his incarceration, I came to realize that it really was just a suicide, enabled by incompetence.

Change "twitter" to "twiiit" to get a random nitter instance: https://twiiit.com/bl4sty/status/1776691497506623562

Wow, it works. But it's not random, afaict. I keep getting the privacydev instance.

How do they keep theirs up and running?

>One of the best writing tips I've ever gotten was to avoid using demonstrative pronouns. Instead of saying “this” or “that,” you should add a noun to spell out exactly what you’re referring to, even if you’ve just mentioned it.

This piece of advice is maybe the only thing I remember from my college English class. A naked "this" or "that" now feels shamefully lazy to me.
