@EndWokeness Generally speaking, the prosperity provided to feed, clothe, and house the bottom 10% was (and always has been) created by the top 10%

We need a little more photography on X

If you agree, quote post one of your photos.

Age yourself by naming the starting quarterback for your favorite NFL team when you were 10.

I’ll start: Mark Sanchez.

@ashishkjha You mean like COVID, global warming, overpopulation, saturated fat, peak oil, bird flu, etc. ?

@williameijer The problem with high IQ people is that they are almost always certain that they are right, no matter the subject. Certainty is the opposite of humility.

@nicksortor One would hope that the President of the United States of America has more important things to do than this trivial grandstanding bullshit. Ridiculous.

@politicalmath I think the explanation for the anti-data center movement is simple: fear of AI

I’ve always found people who bristle at “American exceptionalism” kind of… weird. Not because I lack self-awareness — I’ve spent my career cataloging every way this country fails to live up to its own rules. But that’s exactly why I love it so damn much. We built a system designed to be shamed by its own founding documents, and it still delivered one of the most spectacular, world-altering runs in human history. A genuine force for human flourishing.

I also found the argument against American exceptionalism to be historically illiterate. Here’s a sample of what we were first at:

• The first large-scale democratic republic in human history — not a city-state, not a monarchy with a parliament bolted on, but a bold continental experiment in self-rule, popular sovereignty, and ordered liberty.

• A written Constitution (1789) with separation of powers and checks & balances — still the oldest national constitution in force anywhere.

• The Bill of Rights (1791): the first time a nation wrote “the government cannot touch these” into supreme law and actually meant it. A dare the world copied — from later rights charters to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

• Public land-grant universities and mass higher education (Morrill Act), opening college to ordinary people no aristocracy would have let near the gates. (but don’t get me started about what happened after we started. Massively federally funding it.)

• Kitty Hawk, 1903 — first controlled powered flight.

• The Moon, 1969 — still the only ones who’ve been there.

• The world’s largest economy since ~1890, powering unprecedented prosperity through grit and genius.

• The assembly line, skyscraper, transistor, personal computer, ARPANET — the backbone of the modern world.

• Telephone, phonograph, GPS — connecting and powering daily life.

• Surgical anesthesia, polio vaccine — saving and transforming millions of lives.

• Jazz, blues, rock ‘n’ roll — brand new American art forms that conquered the globe.

• Hollywood’s dreams, blue jeans, bourbon, and a culture so open a kid like me could devour sushi, burritos, stuffed cabbage, and tabouli in the same week and rightfully think of it all as American.

That’s the part that fills me with genuine love and pride: not just the power or the wins, but the appetite for freedom, creativity, and reinvention. The audacity to say “We the People” and keep trying to live up to it.

What do you love most about this truly exceptional country? 🇺🇸

@_ClimateCraze It just shows that those models are driven primarily by politics, not science

So a Paraguay player gets a red card for covering his own mouth while speaking? That has to be the stupidest rule I have ever heard of.

@MarkChangizi I think you give Trump too much credit. I just don't think his thought process is that sophisticated. He may be thinking about one or two of those variables simultaneously, but I think his approach (and aptitude) is considerably more mundane than you imagine.
