I'm considering turning yours back on

you wont regret it (you probably will regret it)

kind of amused by this:

Trending in Canada
Socrates
After Florida Representative Anthony Sabatini said Socrates would be cancelled if he was alive today, many point out that the philosopher was put on trial for corrupting the youth and executed during his own time
19.8K Tweets

Canadians know a lot of stuff huh

I’ve been following the discourse

my proposal: PRIDE 2

all the stuff different people think shouldn’t happen at pride. it’s all kink, all cops, and all corporate sponsors. the cops and the corporate sponsors are gonna be doing the nastiest shit, in plain view, in the street

this is the innovation we need to progress past our seemingly intractable disagreements

Me, descendant of pogrom victims, just before clicking on this: "Despite the dunks, surely she didn't seriously, unironically, directly compare being called 'Eve Fartlow' on Twitter to the pogroms."

Could also go on the p4k thread i guess

it's a good dunk but in no way worth amplifying her

i mean, hooray 2.8K people are now aware of her when no one should be

They call her Eve Fartlow

anyone else still waiting for their cheque from chapo? can't seem to find mine.

they're aligned and / or unofficially associated with the chapotraphouse podcast, by the looks of it. in time, i wouldn't be surprised to find the chapotraphouse podcast hosts pay their followers for engaging in these attacks

Yeah Eve Fartlow is absolutely a person I'd never heard of outside of twitter and I resent the damn app for informing me.

its a nice meltdown, she wrote an article comparing being called eve fartlow to literal torture lmao, thats what its all about baby

And she’s a music writer

https://pitchfork.com/staff/eve-barlow/

it’s not the first self-aggrandizing thing Fartlow has written or tweeted about, apparently

there’s some “these music artists who are anti-israel wouldn’t have been as popular as they are if I hadn’t written about them” tweet that blew my mind in her feed! good stuff

lmao

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2V49FuXIAETb_9?format=jpg&name=medium

just looked at her feed and it’s 90% retweets of people saying how she’s been viciously attacked

the lady is definitely being hoisted on her own petard

Wonder if she's related to Lou Fartlow?

lmao

🖼

Tell us more about "the Jews"please.

She’s a former deputy editor of NME and it looks like pfork hasn’t used her as a freelance in two years.

Nate Silver is one hot take tweet away from getting recruited by Substack

he is so out of control my god

he should stick to sports

Sure you can. In fact, people unavoidably do it all the time. It may not be a particularly robust estimate. But this is the whole basis of Bayesian thinking. https://t.co/4jMgty2z24

yeah, he's just completely high on his own supply

something about being a pundit in the social media era, the simultaneous hit and boost your ego takes when a million people tell you to eat shit, fragile psyches arent equipped to handle it

It’s even more egregious when someone like Nate Silver assigns a percentage to something like this, because millions will believe it must be data-based instead of ass-based.

the simultaneous hit and boost your ego takes when a million people tell you to eat shit, fragile psyches arent equipped to handle it

evidence suggests almost no one handles this well

nate's lucky that there's no way to easily make a fart pun out of his name

ema-nate silver, nvm

nate shitter

Tell us more about "the Jews"please.

"The Jews are tired" is a common refrain for Eve Fartlow types who like to project their bullshit on the rest of us

the e*e b*rl*w instagram, which I clicked on for reasons I will not delve into, is wacky. she uses it as a… platform for screenshots of her tweets, and to manually image-retweet things and comment on them off of twitter?

this is some kind of weird strategy I am unfamiliar with

so is Nate Silver's position basically "I can't tell the difference between true things and false things, so I'll just say it's 50/50 but tilted in favor of the side that isn't currently yelling at me?" dude's got a bad case of Dilbertbrain

sounds about right

uh yeah thats called bayesian thinking

baylessian thinking

Bayesian stinking

I don’t have stances, only a big sieve where my brain used to be and probabilities coming out my mouth once the data is fed to me

I’m starting to agree that this guy has mastered post-Trump tweeting

So I was checking in to a Fancy Spa (FAT CAMP) and the front desk TOOK my phone for the “Digital Detox”-but I didn’t sign up for THAT! I just wanted my Mango Massage and Netflix. BIG Argument! I left “Rancho Relaxo”—got a Suite at HARD ROCK CASINO. Party!(DIET postponed to ‘22)

If life has taught me nothing else, it's that when there's an unusually long delay for your order at the coffee shop/restaurant/whatever, there probably was some snafu ("they forgot to put it in") and you're not being a jerk for politely inquiring about it.

— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) May 26, 2021

chilling

used to enjoy Nate Silver but Adrian Chiles is the only pundit I need now

"if life has taught me nothing else"

which I clicked on for reasons I will not delve into

take it to the WS of Shame thread

Chiles is cancelled I'm afraid. He had some shit-talking QC on his 5live show doing a hideously pro-cop account of the Hillsborough disaster and didn't once challenge him. twat.
