No, the ICE agent isn't "kneeling on his neck". Yes, yes, ICE is the modern gestapo, a bunch of thugs operating without accountability. What I'm arguing is that you cannot "see" what's happening here. You think you clearly see the ICE agent kneeling on his neck like with George Floyd, but you don't. What you see here is the approved, trained technique of kneeling OVER the neck. The difference is that the weight is still mostly on the other leg, and on the heels. The knee is extended over the neck to prevent the target from being able to lift their head, but the weight is not on the neck, it's on the heels and other leg. You can watch the agent leading up to this point, where the ICE agent is carefully placing his foot in the right position, so that the weight stays on his back heels and other leg, then extends his knee over the target's neck. This technique is extensively trained for and approved, and is included in most training manuals. That's why you know Chauvin's claim of using his training is false. His weight was on Floyds neck, not on his other leg or heels. He was definitely NOT trained to do this. The two procedures are different for exact the reasons shown, that one can injure the person, and the other simply immobilizes them without injury. The point of this tweet isn't to defend or attack Chuavin or ICE, but to point out that you and I can see the same videos but see completely different things, and that some education is important.

I came to realize people liked the french #slopcore without having the lyrics 😅 sorry! So here is a version with english subtitles!

Four is a very good random number. I wonder why people like it so much

Old joke: A man enters a Swiss bank with a suitcase full of cash. He is met in the lobby by an elegant woman and brought up in a wood-paneled elevator to a finely furnished private suite. A string quartet plays softly in the corner. The head banker greets him, offers a cigar, and counts the money. "Monsieur, this sum will be credited to your numbered account. We specialize in discreet banking. There is no need for names or identification here. Should you ever need to withdraw your funds, all you will need is the account number on this slip. But keep it safe, as anyone who has the number will have full access to your account." The man takes the account slip from the banker, finishes his cocktail, and is escorted back out of the building. Once on the street, he gets curious and unfolds the deposit slip. "Your account number is 0000 0000 0000 0000 0003. Please tell your friends about Montreux Private Bank!"

“I can excuse bombing Ukrainian cities, but I draw the line at damaging russian oil refineries.”

What gets me is that at Trump rallies, he regularly claims the venue is full and people are waiting outside -- even though everyone inside the venue can see for themselves that this is not true.

Linus Torvalds did not change his mind in 2 years. The AI industry changed in 2 years. AI coding abilities in 2024 were rudimentary, they are now excellent in late 2026.

I've never really understood the disdain for Vivek Ramaswamy. The new ad with Amy Acton's abusive mom has fixed that. If I were an Ohioan, that alone would be enough to swing my vote. No normal, well-adjusted human being with a basic understanding of social cues would do that.

The key to a good hangover cure isn't how well it cures your current hangover but how much it punishes you to prevent hangovers in the future.
