I like those nick fuentes clips because he's like a reverse streamer, like streamers talk and talk for so many hours they're bound to say something clippably offensive at some point. Fuentes talks for so many hours he sometimes accidentally says relatable, non offensive things that get clipped out of context

I was going to say this is my relationship with God, but I can’t drive, so this is actually my relationship with everybody.
My 3yo cannot understand why, after promising to buy her oranges, I am not doing it asap. "but you can drive in your car!!!" It must be frustrating to be a tiny child with this all powerful being in charge who can go wherever they want whenever they want, and just chooses not to

Let’s introduce this to the lexicon stat. We wouldn’t even have to explain it.
Reminds me of when I was a kid listening to Weird Al, I had only ever heard him called Weird Al and every song title had “Yankovic” between his name and the title so I thought Yankovic was just the term for a parody song. Like “this guy sure writes a lot of Yankovics”

Who qualifies as "part of the human family"? Who qualifies as a member of the human species? Is there a difference?

Did not expect @60Minutes to reenact the “May I kill it?” sequence from CS Lewis’s The Great Divorce. And just as in the book, this is how self-sabotagingly stubborn we all look (me included) when it’s a sin we’ve long indulged.

My brother used to say “Schulz!” after he told a joke because he learned to read from Peanuts and he noticed the cartoonist’s signature was always in the last panel after the punchline.
Seinfeld!! You know how people say Kobe before they throw something. I like to say Seinfeld before I observe something

If you read Claude-generated fiction it keeps telling stories about landscapes with awareness, communities that function as a single organism, and animals found dead. Basically narrative concepts that are just animated enough to stand in for actual characters.

This doesn’t work for me because I know I would never ask God to send me back to my second year of law school.
