The geography of UFOs. Like a geographical map of world religions, the non-random distribution of UFO sightings is a strong indicator that this is a purely socio-cultural phenomenon.

Just saw @OppenheimerATOM by Christopher Nolan based on Martin Sherwin & Kai Bird American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (#1 bestselling book on Amazon!) IMO one of the best films ever made. See it in a theater. Epic

RFK Jr. is not worthy of the rehabilitation tour he's getting from various pundits, podcasters, and tech luminaries. He pushes tabloid-quality "reporting" and he wildly extrapolates from little grains of truth.

There once was a Florida bloke
Who went on and on about 'the woke.'
But the voters assessed
He was truly obsessed
And his candidacy became a joke.

This would have been a great tweet on January 6, 2021.

Meaningless.

Today’s D & R Parties didn’t exist when Washington & TJ were pres’t. (No—Jeffersonian Republicans weren’t modern Republicans)

TR was a progressive Republican—unlike those today.

And Lincoln—not equivalent to a modern Republican—worked across party & faction lines

I’m at a luncheon for people who received honorary Yale degrees at graduation today.

Did I chat with Paul Giamatti about his John Adams portrayal?

Yes.
Yes, I did.

Trump refused to say outright he would accept the results of the 2024 election. To those of us on the global beat, this keeps him in the company of the international gang of illiberal democrats.

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

It's confusing when I hear people justify their support for Trump by claiming to support his policies. What specific policies?

There aren't many constructive or conservative accomplishments from Trump's time in office.

Being this insecure about your “manliness” strikes me as particularly “unmanly”

Brutalism can be beautiful.

Only out pathetic’ed by “it’s for the children” crowd.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

“Give me money because the people you hate hate me” is the most pathetic form of politics and it defines so much of both parties these days.

“This isn't just Fox News that is on trial,” Andrew Neil, former editor of the Murdoch-owned Sunday Times tells me. “It's fake news and disinformation that's on trial.” Dominion’s historic defamation trial against Fox News kicks off in Delaware.

Funding the IRS was a great idea.

[Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin]

WATCH: We’re not spending money in Ukraine — we’re investing in the future of democracy. That’s why I was proud to travel to Kyiv last week with @lisamurkowski & @SenMarkKelly to reaffirm America’s bipartisan support for Ukraine & for democracy.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Marjorie Taylor Greene makes clear yet again that she cannot be trusted with America’s national security information and should not have a security clearance of any kind.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Exactly. We've become a society that fears the future.

[Joshua R. H. Parsons @JRHParsons]

Predicting the expected is not worth tweeting about, let alone patting yourself on the back for.
