"Overall, Kromkowski’s satire is incisive, leaning on irony and cultural nods to critique political figures and policies, delivered with a sharp edge that invites reflection rather than overt moralizing."

@convenwisdom @LinkofSunshine In my view the movie was less about race than it was about evolution of neighborhoods.

@JSmith95974 @mattyglesias I just wrote it. It quite obviously references a number of texts.

Lao Tzu is having picnic with students. "If I pick up one corner of the blanket, should I not expect my students to pick up the other corners."

I am not going to use X to educate you. Too much work.

@1RAOKADAY @binarybits Ask them if they have experiences.

In 1965, Kenneth Sayre established the Philosophic Institute for Artificial Intelligence at Notre Dame.

He and Fred Crosson were thinking about these things for a long time. See 1963 essay, "Modeling: Simulation and Replication"

@zacker150 @ColeMaritz @binarybits Lyft and Uber have this rule it's just a lazy extension of what they decided.

That CGWU might be gloming onto is not the cause of it.

@HerecomesDrBob @AbolishTedCruz @avrilbradley23 No absolute bullshit. McGovern actively campaign for Carter.

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@avrilbradley23 He was an FDR new deal Democratic. He was very slightly left of the median.

But he wasn't establishment.

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@avrilbradley23 McGovern did not vote for Ford; that is utter bullshit. He actively campaigned for him.

@reesetheone1 Nixon (criminality), Reagan (celebrity and stupidity) and Clinton (mendacity and Dunning Kruger) all led to Trump.

@emzanotti Ha ha. Hey where's Perry [Barry?]

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@mattyglesias I am still not convinced that ME is a blue state.

Wouldn't it have a Democratic Senator if it was?

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@mattyglesias What is threshold to allow an independent to Caucus with democrats?

If Collins or Murkowski ask to caucus with Ds would Ds let them?

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@emzanotti Do they give those out in Peru or Rome

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@Aerodronee @LaprasIRL But not bad enough to delete post and rewrite

@pwoodreporter @BaltimoreBanner As long as the property tax must constitutionally pay for the interest and principal on general obligation bonds there is no reason to down grade any thing. The land and the buildings aren't going anywhere.

@StatisticUrban @skywaker9 Mad Max is a different movie than Waterworld

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@mattyglesias California not my backyard. But did he really run as a "billionaire communist".

I think he'd have a cause of action for libel.

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@mollyfleck @olgakhazan I have pretty strong feelings about imperialist Russians and so do a lot of people.

Most German Americans erased their linguistic heritage between 1915 and around 1980. Shame (maybe justifiable so) due to WW1, WW2 and East Germany. Same thing.

@mattyglesias @olgakhazan Правда

Or Parrhesia

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@nullrespecter @olgakhazan You don't think in a language. You think and then you internally translate it.

[John D Kromkowski @JDKromkowski]

@ichbinilya @olgakhazan Odessa is cosmopolitan not Russian.

Isn't the Russian spoken there a pretty distinction dialect sometimes with own grammars because its pluralistic and cosmopolitan culture notwithstanding Russian imperialism.
