I mean, destroy humanity or don’t, I just can’t pay attention to the “will they or won’t they” plot anymore. It’s like the last three seasons of Moonlighting here.

If you are worried that a bull-statue is a Satanic symbol, the odds are very high that you think that Israel must be encouraged to conquer from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates, so that then the monstrous powers of Gog and Magog will attack and destroy them, as payback for and as a demonstration to the world of God’s wrath at them for their sin of rejecting Jesus Christ: **Trump’s State Department’s Obsession with What They Fear Are Satanic Bull-Statues: Laugh of the Day** Or, rather... 1/ Related

7 Quotes on Writing I hope you enjoy the following gems as much as I have… “Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.” — Kurt Vonnegut “You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” — Ray Bradbury “Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work.” — Gustave Flaubert “The writer should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that does not require his attention.” — Flannery O’Connor “A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable… Related

Mastodon I think what gets me the most about this whole "AI is going to destroy humanity" narrative is that the entire scenario was already meta-gamed by science fiction authors on typewriters in the 1930s and 40s before what we know as a computer even existed. Related

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who were killed, including 67 Britons. My thoughts are with all those who lost friends and family members that terrible day. Time may pass, but I know the grief is still felt just as deeply today. On this anniversary, we must remember that hatred and fear did not have the last word on 9/11. The terrorists sought to weaken and divide America, and everyone who believes in the values our countries share. But our response was clear: those who seek to destroy our way of life will never win. I saw that same defiance in Greater Man… America Related

NASA spent decades perfecting a hiring filter that has nothing to do with technical skill. The researchers found test scores and flight hours couldn't predict which crews held together, all it needed was one bad mood to destroy an entire mission. Here's what they screen for: 🧵 Related

Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!!

Their words
But they wouldn’t destroy the library because it was the giant brain from which the Assyrians ran a world empire, and it had all the knowledge in the world. They destroyed that? They spoke the same language, they had the same writing system. They’d have taken them all safely home, cart after cart after cart.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
