Ritchie Torres is a Democrat. Mona Charen is not the ADL. The Bulwark is not the Free Beacon. Pick whichever source you trust they all quote the same transcript. And the core point stands regardless of source: Haredim are not ultranationalist settlers. Many are anti-Zionist. "Inbred and rabid" applied to a Jewish religious community is not a political critique of an ethnostate. It's a slur against people who largely oppose one.

Unpoplar opinion: Hasan Piker isn't a man of principle. He's a content creator who discovered that anti-capitalist lectures and Israel-bashing are an excellent way to pay for a mansion in Los Angeles. The bans are just content. The outrage is content. The victimhood is content. The real tragedy is his audience: young people looking for meaning, truth, and direction, only to be fed a never-ending outrage treadmill while Hasan gets richer. He's not leading a movement. He's running a business.

@ComradeNux @yanisvaroufakis If you have a clip showing otherwise, post it. I'll update my position immediately. Now it's your turn.

Fair challenge. I checked: The "packed to the gills" quote has nothing to do with settlers blocking food aid. Per the transcript, he was predicting Israel's collapse as a state, arguing liberal Israelis would emigrate, leaving the Haredi population behind. That's his exact framing. The Free Beacon, ADL, and Bulwark all document this in context. Also, the ADL found he used "inbred" in multiple separate clips. Even if your clip is real, there's another one about Haredim specifically. Context doesn't help him here. It makes it worse.

Two factual problems with this: The rape claim wasn't one argument. it was two contradictory ones. First he called the reports "rape fantasies" and "rape hallucinations" (denial). Then, when pushed, "it doesn't matter if fucking rapes happened" (dismissal). A proportionality argument would be "the rapes were real AND don't justify collective punishment." He never said that. He erased the victims, then said they were irrelevant. The "inbred" quote wasn't about settlers. His exact words: "packed to the fucking gills with the most inbred, uneducated, ultra-nationalist, rabid, Haredi population." Haredim are an ultra-Orthodox religious community, many of whom are explicitly anti-Zionist. Calling them inbred is targeting a Jewish religious group, not a political one.

Sure. Happy to help: "It doesn't matter if fucking rapes happened on Oct. 7. That doesn't change the dynamic for me even this much."

@ComradeNux @yanisvaroufakis Dismissing evidence of mass rape on October 7 as "rape fantasies" seems an odd way to reassure Jews.

@PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @cenkuygur I mean regardless, cenk isn't British citizen. The government- right or wrong, owes him nothing.

@VladVexler Correct. But popularity doesn't make someone right, and attention doesn't make someone a victim.

@saen_dev Exactly this. The evaluator needs to be independent of the evaluated. Same model, different prompt is just asking someone to mark their own homework with a different pen.

I asked my AI agent to rate its own performance. It gave itself an 8 out of 10. The task it was evaluating had failed. Who's supervising the supervisors?

No need for adjectives. Just quotes. Cenk Uygur: “The Israelis can’t stand to have even one legislator who represents Americans in Congress. They want complete control.” “The Israelis never keep their word.” “They’re perpetual liars and warmongers.” “This is the new attitude I’m seeing from the Israelis... we killed those people and made you pay for it. Nothing you can do, since we control your Congress and media.” Ana Kasparian: “Israelis openly slaughter and rape people all the time.” “Have Israelis missed an opportunity to slaughter children and steal land?!” “Israel is evil, genocidal and has destroyed our country.” “All we hear from Israelis and their braindead supporters is ‘ANTISEMITE’...” “Hey, bitch, the goyim are waking the fuck up. Deal with it.” Hasan Piker: “It doesn’t matter if rapes happened on Oct. 7.” Oct. 7 rape allegations were “rape fantasies” and “rape hallucinations.” You may well disagree with the Home Office. But it's difficult to argue they didn't have reading material.

@ShabbosK Maybe, but let's not pretend: Cenk isn't some selfless philosopher who got robbed of his grand "masterclass" to enlighten humanity and build a utopia. He's losing money, or shouts because the engagement helps him generate a bit more. That's about it.

The hardest part of deploying AI agents isn't building them. It's knowing if they're actually working. Logs tell you what happened. They don't tell you if it was right. How do you evaluate your agents in production?

@MichealMartinTD And just to be clear: Ben-Gvir is an absolute disgrace who should not be in government and does not represent me. No matter how justified his emotions are here, the way he manifests them - publicly taunting zip-tied detainees is not okay.

Micheál Martin stands there, hands clasped in pious sorrow, condemning the “illegal” detention of Irish activists while the Global Sumud Flotilla steams straight into a live war zone to “break the blockade.” Darling, you can’t preach de-escalation from one side of your mouth and wave the next provocation off with the other. Irish citizens didn’t accidentally wander into international waters; they signed up for the photo-op, knowing full well it would end in zip-ties and Ben-Gvir’s victory lap. Yes, the man’s an arse for the kneeling-and-anthem circus. Gratuitous, beneath even him. But let’s not pretend the flotilla was a Red Cross mercy dash. It was engineered theatre, and you, Taoiseach, own the Irish bit of the script. Next time you want the situation to cool, perhaps start by telling your own people to stop pouring petrol on it. Words are cheap. Consistency isn’t.

@jeremycorbyn Forty years as an MP and Jeremy Corbyn’s greatest achievement remains convincing people that having opinions is the same as having accomplishments.

@LloydsBank Sending it now.

@LloydsBank 14 years of banking with you and yet being forced to write a 1,000 words essay to justify speaking to someone with experience and authority.

@LloydsBank Thanks Kaif. A disputed transaction. Lloyds refused to investigate and refused written confirmation of any of it. Now escalating to FOS. Happy to DM specifics.
