Thanks for coming by.

In simpler terms, for Japan to invest in the us it must get dollars. The only way to get dollars is to sell more goods and services to the us. Which Japan will do much to both countries benefit.

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

I am profoundly alarmed about the future of the @DNC and the country by yesterday’s NYC anointment of a candidate who failed to disavow a "globalize the intifada" slogan and advocated Trotskyite economic policies.

I fear it is evidence that our party is following the most problematic aspects of Britain's Labor Party. It didn’t work there, and it won’t work here.

@Harvard and other universities' moral weakness after Oct 7 in condoning hateful, anti-Israeli, and even antisemitic, rhetoric and activity opened the Overton window in ways that contributed to yesterday’s outcome.

I hope candidate @ZohranKMamdani , who showed great ability to learn and adapt during his campaign, will continue to evolve in ways that provide much needed reassurance to people committed to a free from prejudice, market economy as an American ideal.

An important task for Mamdani now is to provide reassurance that his moral energy and formidable political skills can be productively directed for the City of New York at this difficult moment.

@agentsteveFBI66 @SWTOR You mean Bioware is on its last legs

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@FalconerGame @kalaelizabeth Theyve owned Bioware for almost 20 years now.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@kalaelizabeth Its hard not to be a doomer at this point. After how disappointed I felt over DATV it's hard to have any faith in Bioware anymore. I wouldn't be that surprised if EA pulled the plug on Bioware before ME5 but most certainly after it im confident. It breaks my heart to say it.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@politeabox @kalaelizabeth DA 2 you felt the crunch and could tell what was left unfinished. It was a shame. But all these developmental hurdles did hinder success of ME:A and Anthem.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@politeabox @kalaelizabeth The whole reboot of the project, along with a decent amount of veteran employees leaving before the game is even given a release date is not a good sign to me. Darrah might be an external consultant but that doesn't really instill confidence in the project for me.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@PanillaKolla @kalaelizabeth Thank you lol. I also recently read that prior choices in the last 3 games will have no consequences in veilguard. If thats true, I'll be super upset.

If I understand it correctly, Bioware will establish what exactly happened in the previous games. Am I wrong?

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@deadislandgame Did you really have to fix that blocking exploit? The game was more enjoyable with that edge. Smdh

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@snooki @AliDawsey51957 It's a conspiracy Nicole.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@byHeatherLong Makes me wonder how much those would sway back into favor when they see thier take home pay increase when both employee and employer don't have to pay Social security.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@1996Cynh @byHeatherLong Economists can be wrong for sure on forecasts but politicians often choose the politically expedient options over economic consensus.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@AdamShifriss @byHeatherLong Idk that much about SS taxation but that is subject to FICA taxes? I was under the assumption that it was only federal income tax.

[Michael Munger 🏖️🔪👨‍🍳 @mungowitz]

I always have a little trouble explaining it, because it is hard for me at this point to understand what dissenters don't understand.

But most people are dissenters, far and away.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@mungowitz I still believe @elonmusk doesn't believe most of what he posts on X. I just wish I knew why he does it.

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@SBalduran93999 @kalaelizabeth As I've asked before, what about baldurs gate and neverwinter nights?

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@kalaelizabeth Im not seeing Baldur's Gate on this list

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@mattyglesias Wait, what ever happened to the Bad Takes podcast?

[Daniel Catalano @DanC8923]

@mattyglesias So essentially...
