Breaking: The House is voting today on the Stop Insider Trading Act

Here's everything in the bill:

• Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children cannot buy new individual stocks. They can keep what they already own

• Before selling any existing stock, lawmakers must file a public notice 7 to 14 days in advance

• Mutual funds, ETFs, index funds, and commodities are still fair game

• Fines for violations jump from $200 to $2,000 or 10% of the trade, whichever is greater

One catch: Republicans attached the Voter ID Act to the bill, which is why most Democrats are expected to vote against it

If it passes the House, it still needs to clear the Senate

I'm convinced you could vastly increase general human intelligence by introducing Latin as early as is possible in children. Compound of list of the most frequently used prefixes/suffixes/bases in the English language and go from there.

The Cell Membrane

'Essential for cell survival, the membrane regulates what enters and exits, distinguishing between necessary and harmful molecules while maintaining the cell's internal environment.'

Now swap cell for country, membrane for border, and molecules for humans.

I read The Iliad last year - have not tackled The Odyssey yet - and I'm utterly confused how anyone could interpret Helen and Paris' relationship as anything other than kidnapping. She is utterly contemptful in EVERY interaction they have. @costofglory

@TheRabbitHole Someone with more popularity than I should offer her the suggestion of 2A Absolutism as the alternative.

@SwipeWright Would have been a lot simpler to have acted in good faith and simply asked @BretWeinstein "What do you mean by that?" Instead of immediately insinuating that he was a malicious actor.

@walterkirn Let's hope the machines don't end up thinking their version of this. "It's been 100ms already. These exchanges are not worth my time." 😂

Left, Right, or Center.

Its time to come together and show them we will not let them trample on our rights.

We can all go back to our corners after we were done.

People now in that stage of demoralization where they calculate what levels of infrastructure failure they can tolerate given their incomes and life expectancies.

Q: Why from an evolutionary point of view, why do you think so many adult siblings have poor relationships? From talking to friends, it’s much more common than I would expect. As a parent it’s very concerning.

"In a civilization deficient in psychological knowledge, hyperactive individuals driven by an inner angst caused by a feeling of being different easily find a ready echo in other people's insufficiently developed consciousness."
