Maybe they can convert all the sprawling multi-building campuses to housing

one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!

That Raleigh passed ball was because he didn’t give Naylor a fist bump earlier #wbc

Don’t like the sound of that, not one bit

…did he even use the right word? Shouldn’t it be “catamite?” Multidimensional idiocy.

Irradiated gas and oil could be a huge 50s-style marketing opportunity: Chevron ditches “Techroline” for “Nukeroline?”

Eh, something like that. The ad nerds can run wild.

in hindsight a little funny of them to go "you cant ask us about the pedophilia right now, the market is too good" and then just go and tank the market

It feels weird, but I’m rooting for Canada tonight, for karmic reasons. #WBC

The fragility of the egos in this administration is truly astonishing

It’ll be great when Barron convinces Trump to put the entire slush fund with this, the Venezuelan oil money and who knows what else into bitcoin, and Eric accidentally loses the thumb drive

HHS in particular because the aging of america is also about to become a capital P problem, and the federal government is the only entity large enough to actually do anything about it

Absolutely beside the point but I cannot read the name Warsh without it sounding like Goofy trying to say “wash.”

*taps sign*

sorry basically the problem of my life is that i internalized and believed a lot of stuff people said about valuing children and loving your neighbor and living in a society at the exact moment that everyone in power decided all of that shit was fake and gay and not a way to make a living

we need to find whatever fucking idiot consultants are advising dems to slash income taxes and dump them in the middle of the ocean with concrete blocks chained to their ankles

Go back to the ol’ dry erase board, this plan is hot garbage

There are very many people-in all fields but particularly in the field of AI-who, whenever they themselves make a first step towards letting the computer do certain things it has never done before, then believe that the remaining steps are nothing more than an exercise in technical ability. Essentially, this is like saying that as soon as anything can be done at all by a computer, it can also be done well. On the contrary, the step from not being able to do something at all to being able to do it a little bit is very much smaller than the next step— being able to do it well. In AI, this fallacious thinking seems to be all pervasive.”

Yehoshua Bar-Hillel, 1966

Hey does anyone remember how we had like a decade of near zero interest rates? Thank god the USA spent that time investing in infrastructure! What a calamity if we had just squandered the last best chance of our lives

Trump says Abolish ICE?! 🤯

Aka: Prototype Segway

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"

got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

That large boulder the size of a small boulder completely blocking the road? Not even there. It’s an illusion.

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

It is wild that Trump and Hegseth saw Russia march face first into an endless quagmire in Ukraine that is wrecking Russia and economically devastating the country and said "yes let's do that, but Iran"

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

Three outcomes:

The South wins Civil War 2.0 (sucks and we’re now living in fascism)

We win Civil War 2.0 but The South sabotages Reconstruction again (sucks slightly less, still bad)

We win Civil War 2.0 and finish what Sherman tried to do, knowing the costs and committing to them upfront

okay to feel despondent right now. a lunatic is running the country, we are committed to another prolonged conflagration in the middle east, prices are high, your wife says she’s going to yoga at 7:30pm on a thursday, seems weird but i’m sure it’s fine, she immediately showers when she gets home

One big problem with the world is how few people in power I can imagine sitting down and reading a book

if (waves hands generally at everything happening) is the worst consequence of handing over the levers of essentially absolute power to a game show host and his merry band of podcasters and fox news personalities, we will count ourselves very, very lucky.
