Can we please make more water? We have the technology to do mass scale desal and end Western water poverty forever. We don't have to fight over scraps. We don't have to dam up distant valleys. We don't have to suck the aquifers dry. We just need to end the ban on desalination. https://t.co/ir6XpUynnL

It is societally insane that we don’t do this.
I hate degrowthers so so much.
Mining requirements for clean energy is way lower than for fossil fuels. https://t.co/4B0JZIQ2qD pic.twitter.com/qt3zgLe9k5

Which is a point I make every time I hear yet another leftist degrowther dipshit clown moaning about having to mine some lithium or perovskite.
People’s incapacity to deal with reality — like climate change and how well vaccines actually work and how safe they are — is going to lead to millions of needless deaths.
But I guess humans have been doing the stupid for a long time. We show no signs of stopping.
The notion of “fatphobia” needs to go. Fatness is a harmful medical condition that can be treated with drugs. It’s like saying “cancerphobia” or “arthritisphobia”. https://t.co/V43fxKn6gt

Agreed, “fatphobia” is an utterly moronic concept.
Degrowth is a British mind virus that America must resist

Degrowth nonsense is prevalent in the UK, but I am not sure it’s British in origin. We have plenty of homegrown idiot degrowthers here.
I think that's right.
Basically, I think decarbonization is often sold as "Let's build a future that's electric and clean, to keep the world from becoming a hellscape," and I think that message holds limited political appeal.
The message should be: We can build a future that's…

The liberal degrowth heavy breathing about all they will “have” to take away you from was always doomed to fail. To be fair, there are a lot of right-wing degrowthers now too. Evil no matter which side they are on.
I've literally never once seen this happen, in all the years I've watched guys hit on girls at bars.
These memes are made by people who sit around on the internet all day, imagining what real-life human beings are like. https://t.co/P2VbRMyquL

I’ve seen this happen dozens of times. Mainly when I was in the army. What was usually happening is the woman’s “friend” was acting as a blocker so that she could head off the guy and then talk to him later and go home with him. Sometimes it was simple jealousy by the less attractive “friend,” though.
Another example of female intrasexual competition.
Despite the politicization of green energy, people actually like solar energy generation…

A bunch of dipshit doofclowns living in the previous century decided solar was “gay” so now we have to live like it’s 1928. Great. Culture wars make people fucking brain-damaged.

Absolute insanity.
“Age appropriate” relationship shaming is the way progressive women cut out the competition while pretending it’s about morality and not self preservation.
Claiming an adult woman lacks agency if she dates an older man is an infantilizing and anti feminist concept.

Yep. Female intrasexual competition is fucking vicious. Male intrasexual competition is nothing in comparison. It basically disappears after 19-20 or so anyway. But for most women, it’s bloodsport for life.
Nearly all of the “age gap” nonsense is intrasexual competition. The rest is just jealousy and envy. About 0.00001% (likely less) is concern for anyone’s well-being.
of course fat ppl are fat from eating too many calories, the thing nobody talks about is that everyone would eat too many calories if they felt as hungry as many fat ppl do.
you don’t have superior self-control, you were just born with functional satiety signaling.
— Romy (@Romy_Holland) July 13, 2025
That is, largely, bullshit. You can change your hunger level and satiety settings over time. I know because I did it.
In my past I could easily eat an entire large pizza by myself. I used to do it all the time. Don’t anymore. The absurd idea that self-control is impossible is self-reinforcing into a doom spiral. I’ve seen it too often. And the above nonsense is the common lefty take.
But self-control is possible. And not even hard. It’s muscle you exercise — the more you do it, the better you get at it. Just like anything else. Don’t believe the harmful, self-defeating lies in that tweet.
The left’s solution to climate change — which is “Just go full Paleolithic” — is to be clear equally as stupid as the right’s “Ignore it and hope it goes away” answer.
Both will fail catastrophically, just in different ways.

I will kill anyone who violently invades my home, yes. And I will not feel bad about it for a single second. I will merely be pissed that I have to clean up the blood.
Why is this even controversial with anyone?
6/8 Ukraine still controls every regional capital it held before the invasion.
russia hasn’t taken a single one.
Imagine the US invading a smaller country — and after 3.5 years and 1M casualties, controlling less territory than it did one month in. It would be a disaster pic.twitter.com/pq44FpwrD0

Even ignoring my feelings about the war, anyone who describes Russia as “winning” is a clownish dumbass.
Russia:
Whatever that is, it sure ain’t winning no matter what doofs like Ian Welsh claim.
I expect about the same results. No one seems to care much that it is happening. It shall indeed be the Chinese century — not because the Chinese were so great but rather because we shot ourselves in the face.
