Miller Lite is the thinking man’s beverage of choice

PSA to America's sportswriters: a player or team cannot be "in a different stratosphere" from another. There is only one stratosphere.

I'm told they'll have to rebrand to Kars 4 Yids in order to resume operations

[Henry Fung (also on bluesky) @calwatch]

Kars4Kids has been banned from advertising in California as it has been deemed deceptive by a judge for helping exclusively Orthodox Jewish kids in the New York and New Jersey areas despite having eight year old actors of all races singing their jingle. https://t.co/Id4WSbRiLI

@greg_ip Fascinating article, but I don't follow your conclusion that if the AI boom went away, growth would slow less than we might think. All the stats you present convinced me that absent AI, the economy is hardly growing at all!

This is a fascinating piece that will make you consider a lot of questions around AI in a new light: https://t.co/ZHbaJKVEdW

Regarding the DoorDash discourse, I think people are a bit overconfident in their reading of BLS data. Here's the survey from 1996. Notice it doesn't mention takeout or restaurant delivery at all; the only reference to delivery is actually for food at home:

The D.C. National Guard deployment would have a 100 percent approval rating if they shoveled the damn snow

Talking to 21 billionaires about a tax proposal, and getting not a single one to be quoted by name, is almost impressive—the journalistic equivalent of Houston missing 27 three-pointers in a row against Golden State

The anti-woke outrage at the Sinners nominations would be more compelling if the previous record-holder hadn't been La-La Land, another movie that nobody actually likes, but a super-white one.

Interestingly, Vance's biggest champion at Yale Law School was Amy Chua, who was known specifically for mentoring minority and first-generation students—helping them get jobs, clerkships, or, in Vance's case, book deals that would set them on the path to the Vice Presidency

A lot of people think "DEI" is lame diversity seminars or racial slogans at NFL games. In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men. This is an incredible piece that describes the evil of DEI and its consequences:

@conorsen Do you think there was a time when Dems prevented all mergers?

If I'm reading correctly, the logic of the Supreme Court's TX ruling seems to be that partisanship is more than an *acceptable* rationale for gerrymandering; it can even cure what would seem like an otherwise unconstitutional use of race in drawing districts.

I don't think people realize how much the use of academic disability accommodations has exploded over the past decade—and the trend is driven overwhelmingly by the most selective schools:
