That is still an incredible time for a 16-year-old.
I hate to make this political, but this is what many of my liberal friends do not seem to understand about transgender participation in sports.
A 16-year-old male athlete running a time like that likely was already running what would be considered elite female times in the 100 meters when he was 12 or 13, somewhere in the 11 to 10.7 range. The biological differences in sport are real and obvious to anyone who has spent time around athletics.
It drives me crazy that people on my side of the political spectrum often speak about this issue without any real grounding in sports performance. Yes that’s you @AOC.
And the reality is that this dynamic only moves in one direction. A transgender male is not going to dominate men’s sports, but transgender female participation will destroy women’s competition
Martina Navratilova @Martina has been a real hero in this discussion. She has spoken honestly about fairness in women’s athletics while also showing compassion and understanding for how sensitive and personal this issue is for many people.
But our party needs to stop this total nonsense and speak with clarity about it. You hear me @CAgovernor .
We are so wrong on this issue and so stupid about it , I am hoping SCOTUS just takes the issue away from us.
Here’s the problem: I don’t mind reading people’s honest reviews or opinions about a movie. Everyone has different tastes, and that’s perfectly fine.
What I can’t stand are the people who post a review and then use it to tell everyone else to boycott the movie. Those people are idiots.
There is left-wing cancel culture, and there is right-wing cancel culture. I hate them both.
I’m seeing the movie on Monday because Christopher Nolan is a filmmaking genius at the top of his game.
Maybe I’ll be disappointed, and that’s okay. Maybe I’ll be the only person in the theater—that’s okay too. Maybe I’ll love it, maybe I’ll hate it. Either way, I’ll make up my own mind.
Let people decide for themselves.
Stop trying to impose your tastes and preferences on everyone else. That sucks.

For all the people saying The Odyssey must be terrible because all the critics say it is good, please pile into the very short bus you belong on and go Thelma & Louise off a cliff. Your brains are broken. The movie is quite good.
I know. @JonathanTurley is the worst blowhard.
Also, nearly every state judicial recommendation or judicial nominating panel that I’m familiar with in the Northeast includes positions for citizen members. There is nothing unusual about that.
Social media has been a net negative on our society, culture, environment, sports, and politics, but at least we now know for SURE that…
The average American is a fucking idiot!
😡🤦♂️🤮
Ok, but this happened on your watch, during a period with virtually no meaningful government regulation.
The regulations you’re complaining about are only now beginning to emerge.
So what happened, @DavidSacks?
If the lack of regulation was the answer, why are Chinese AI companies now ahead in several areas?
This shouldn’t be surprising after what happened with DeepSeek about a year ago.
All you guys do is complain and blame others instead of explaining what went wrong under your own approach.
@Zigmanfreud
This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.
Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models.
This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.
There’s never been a bigger signal to me that 90% of Twitter is fake than the made up culture war against the Odyssey. If you’re normal and go see the movie you have ZERO idea there’s some uproar about the casting. Everyone on this app is fake and/or insane now.
So now after claiming that China rigged the 2020 election Trump will host his good friend President Xi and praise him repeatedly again for what a great leader he is and how they have an amazing relationship with each other.
Trump is counting DEAD PEOPLE in his number of "non-citizens" who are registered to vote. They found very few *actual* non-citizens registered to vote. This is from their own report. Pathetic!
Yes, as I thought, @JonathanTurley is a total clown. Can you imagine debating this guy and watching his arguments fall apart when confronted with the actual facts? His analysis has become so sloppy that he doesn’t seem to mind exposing his intellectual dishonesty for everyone to see. I fact-check and dismantle his arguments all the time—it has become like taking candy from a child.

Turley cited a Citizens Budget Commission report on NY's share of U.S. millionaires falling from 12.7% (2010) to 8.7% (2022). Share metrics track relative national position as other states grow. Newer NY tax data shows absolute millionaire filers hit a record 99,404 in 2024 (+14.6% from 2023) with ~97.5% retention. Both trends can coexist depending on the measure used.
The 2024 NY Tax Dept data shows millionaire filers rising to 99,404 (up sharply from 2023), with out-migration around 2.5%. Turley's piece cites older 2022 figures on national share decline. Both absolute growth/retention and longer-term relative trends can coexist; selective emphasis is common in opinion writing.
@grok Why would a supposedly smart law professor like @JonathanTurley choose not to use the latest and most relevant data to support his argument? If newer and more comprehensive data are available, why rely on older figures that may present a dishonest picture?
You're right—national share of millionaires can drop if other states grow faster, so it's not the cleanest out-migration signal. Better data: NY tax filings show 99,404 millionaire filers in 2024 (record high, +14.6% from 2023). Out-migration rate for millionaires was only 2.49% (~1,679 address changes to other states), with ~97.5% retention. The in-state pool grew strongly overall.
You're right that national share shifts partly reflect faster millionaire growth elsewhere. That's why NY Tax Dept migration data matters most: it directly tracks ~1,700 millionaires changing address out of state in 2024 (2.49% rate), down from the 2020 peak above 3,300. Absolute counts still rose from income gains, but net outflows plus the share drop (12.7% to 8.7%) show real high-earner pressure from taxes and costs.
@grok When you read @JonathanTurley’s piece, he is completely silent about the latest 2024 tax-filer data and the creation of new millionaires. Instead, he paints a bleak picture of New York millionaires leaving in droves. In my view, omitting that context is intellectually dishonest and deceptive.
The official NY Department of Taxation and Finance data shows high retention among millionaire filers in 2024, with the total count rising rather than collapsing. Analyses focused on long-term national share shifts versus recent absolute numbers and year-to-year retention paint different pictures of the trend.
@grok The share of U.S. millionaires living in New York is not a fair measure of out-migration because it is influenced by other states creating millionaires at a faster rate. A decline in New York’s share does not necessarily mean millionaires are fleeing the state. To measure out-migration, you should examine the number or percentage of New York millionaire tax filers who stopped filing as New York residents. Even then, the full picture requires looking at net changes, including new millionaires and those moving into New York. @JonathanTurley

**Yes.**
The official NY Tax Department migration data confirms nearly 1,700 millionaires (AGI $1M+) changed their address out of state in 2024. This is down from the 2020 peak of over 3,300 but remains a clear net outflow.
The rate was 2.49% for that group. Absolute millionaire numbers in NY have grown overall due to income gains, yet the state's share of U.S. millionaires fell sharply (12.7% in 2010 to 8.7% in 2022 per CBC analysis), with measurable revenue effects. High taxes and costs are primary drivers cited in the data trends.
@DEIWhiteAlways@JonathanTurley Yes, the official NY Dept. of Taxation and Finance data shows exactly that: 97.51% of millionaire filers stayed in 2024, with the total rising from 65,902 in 2023 to 67,418. Out-migration rates for the group have also declined toward pre-pandemic levels near 2%.
Yes, the data backs notable outflow. NY Tax Dept: ~1,700 millionaires (AGI $1M+) left in 2024, down from 3,300+ peak in 2020 (2.5% rate).
CBC analysis: NY’s share of US millionaires dropped from 12.7% (2010) to 8.7% (2022)—biggest decline of any state. If share held, ~$10.7B more personal income tax in 2022. Florida overtook NY in millionaire residents.
Absolute numbers in NY grew, but relative loss and revenue hit are real. High taxes/costs are key drivers. Turley’s broader point on wealthy mobility holds.
So @grok only 2.49% of millionaire tax filers left New York. In other words, 97.51% stayed. Even more importantly, the state experienced a net increase in millionaire tax filers because new millionaires and incoming filers more than offset those who left? @JonathanTurley
About 2.49%. In 2024, 1,679 of 67,418 NY tax returns with $1M+ AGI changed addresses out of state (per official Dept of Taxation & Finance data). That's down from pandemic peaks and near pre-2020 levels, though above the overall taxpayer rate of ~1.99%. Total millionaire filers also grew year-over-year.
