Ah, the good old fallacy of justifying one thing with something completely unrelated.
One can just as easily use the same argumentative structure to claim that a delayed train on the subway is the tip of the iceberg which is the Worldwide Illuminati Conspiracy or that the wood in one’s wardrobe having a darker spot indicates it used to be a gateway to Narnia.
Isn’t that kinda satire?
It’s James woods, he’s 100% brainworms serious.
That is actually impressively dumb
Like seriously, I think he really really put effort into being dumb here. You can’t be just randomly that ignorant here, I think
You can’t be just randomly that ignorant here, I think
Woods didn’t just randomly become that ignorant, he’s been practicing for well over a decade. He’s professionally ignorant.
It’s xitter, it’s impossible to know. Even with winking emojis and /s people will take the second half seriously
I swear, every James Woods post I’ve ever read is the text equivalent of watching a seasoned philosopher very carefully, and methodically shit their pants.
So… Diogenes?
I mean… That is not really what was puzzling about mercury. Its elliptical orbit, as predicted by Newtonian physics, was shifting a little each orbit. It was not a trick of the light bending, it actually moves “wrong” according to newtonian physics. He could have just read wikipedia instead of making stuff up to try and sound smart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity
And as I understand it, the existence of an inner planet (Vulcan) was a reasonable explanation consistent with Newtonian gravity. (The only problem was that the planet wasn’t there.)
good read, but a better link for the next person:

url v1.0.1 release notes:
- removed m. for desktop users (mobile users will be automatically redirected)
- removed language from url (international users will be automatically redirected to their local language)
- now links to the relevant section using # syntax
- bug fixes and performance improvements
That last bullet was my first laugh of the day.
Thank you! I wanted to make the link to appropriate section and I usually click the section in the toc to get it. But I could not find the toc on the mobile site.
Detailed release notes for a URL change? You’re a saint and a scholar both.
I wonder if it’s a case of trying to make a habit of good practice. I’ve gotten into the habit of citing stuff when writing online, even if the context wouldn’t really demand that (or slapping a [citation needed] onto the end of stuff I know I could cite, but I’m too lazy to do and I want it known that lack of sources mean my assertions are questionable)
Ah yes, those leftist police I’m always hearing about…
Those that keep shooting dogs whenever they go?
Muh squirrel freedums
Minus the “leftist” part of his argument, his assumption is correct. Reasonable laws and measures can be abused by power to oppress the people. Give the government an inch of power and they will take it a mile.
Using grounds of “preventing the spread of rabies” authorities invaded this man’s home and killed his pets. Keep this in mind whenever giving the government any power. It is clear trump wants as much power as possible, even complimenting Hitler’s generals for their loyalty and obedience.
Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there’s evidence he did fuck all.
He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn’t a surprise.
Isn’t there a character limit on shitter?
For blue checks it’s now much higher
James you’re such a great actor it’s sad you’re such a fucking loser.
This guy is the definition of “if your only tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail”.
“Leftist Tyranny”.
If it was leftist tyranny, we would all get equal access to pet squirrels if we want them or not.
Fascism is denying squirrels to those who want them because the state has decided you can not have a squirrel.
The thing is that this looks like fascism, but for a different reason. The place that got their animals taken away was a legally licensed, insured, and recognized wildlife sanctuary, and the reason given was “we need to test them for rabies” despite the animals showing no signs of rabies infection, nor any incident occurring which would require those tests.
The whole thing reeks of some sort of petty local dispute with the PD.
Was licensed as a domestic shelter, wildlife is a separate license. He never registered the squirrel. He released it once and it came back with a broken tail and he didn’t take it to a vet and then he kept it for 7y and used it for online performances to get money.
Just like always headlines twist the narrative and no one looks at facts.
The famously leftist NYPD.
Yeah I hate it when New York cops keep blabbing on and on about seizing the means of production, and how they’re going to take down the bourgeoisie.
(Looks at his twitter) Oh no
Is that a ReLife meme?!
the only people who are still tweeting about newtonian physics are those who do not yet understand newtonian physics
If this were a shitpost, I would unironically love this.
Unfortunately, I think it isn’t intended that way, so thumbs down from me
