@allie__voss This is like when people interpret their doctor soberly telling them “the median person with your diagnosis lives 6 months” as “you will absolutely drop dead in the next 6 months” and then act like their doctor was an idiot when they’re still alive 9 months later.

@sunjustinholmes @YaronWeitzman If recorded history began in 1979, this analogy would make sense. Barely.

@jackcalifano More like 25-30 years ago. Back then, concerts were ads for CD sales, which was how artists made money. Now streaming is an ad for concerts, which is the only way artists make money. Also, artists got better at pricing tix at fair value instead of resellers capturing the value.

@paulswaney3 People out here acting like it’s 50/50 your bag gets lost. 🙄 Even if you’re worried, if you’re already checking something, just throw some deoderant and an extra shirt in your backpack and experience the joy of traveling without a carry-on suitcase!

@Schornack The British didn’t learn their American colonies had declared independence on July 4th until August 10th.

@jasonc_nc @realjoelroberts I have some questions for the 15% of Gen Z women who attend church *weekly* but also say religion isn’t very important to them.

@JillFilipovic @jbarro The “poop cruise” was like 15 years ago with no similar incident since and people still talk about it like it happens regularly.

@Afinetheorem @Noahpinion A 2,000 sqft home almost certainly has 4 bedrooms and neither of these people have jobs that would require a home office. Seeing luxury homes on social media doesn’t seem to explain the level of delusion required to think their house is too small for a family.

@CorwinRowlette @JamesSurowiecki I got my standard 6 month screening MRI for a tumor in my small intestine in July 2020 as scheduled. The facility was busy! Where does this widespread belief that cancer patients across the country couldn’t get CTs or MRIs during COVID come from?

@murkman36 @JeffBarnes52 Wow, that is a shocking amount of attendance for wrestling despite how good the program is. Still, it looks like students get tix for free and there are only 6-7 home meets per year. I guess I see how you get in the ballpark of reported revs though.

@dollarsanddata The book that quote is from goes on to explain that Cornelius disinherited 9 of his 10 surviving children when he died, giving virtually his entire fortune to his oldest son William.

William’s kids did blow it all, but most of the descendants were left with nothing but a name.

@ZaidJilani Absurd take on a heavily split ticket. In an RCV race, she finishes at least 3rd and probably 4th or 5th. She would have been 1st on the 26% of ballots she got and 5th or worse on the other 74%. Nobody outside of Kat voters cares who got contributions from AIPAC.

@mattyglesias The number of commenters who seem to think 72yo RFK can move that much weight purely due to hard work and grit, while ignoring that he’s obviously juiced to the gills on TRT and who knows what else, is as hilarious as it is sad.

@dougboneparth One 9in+ snowfall ever = Worth it

@Austen How does one save $30k in taxes when the total state income tax for a single CA resident earning $250k/yr is less than $20k?

[Jason Petitte @JasonPetitte]

@mattyglesias Considering like 90%+ of people eventually have kids, it’s hard to believe only a third of those value having kids.

@DubDublin @GaryWinslett There is no one named”Ms. Lashawn” on staff at Petaluma High School. This is probably years old, conveniently omits the book title, and I’ll eat my shoe if “Wall Street Apes” is an account actually based in the US. Good job falling for ragebait posted by some dude in Macedonia!

@DubDublin @GaryWinslett What can I tell you? I have not seen these “thousands of pro-pervert books” you think my kids are reading, but you seem pretty determined to go on pretending they exist so you can be mad about it.

[Jason Petitte @JasonPetitte]

@IFlippedTheChip @DubDublin @GaryWinslett The usual standard for believing something is true is verifiable evidence that it is true. Such evidence is lacking in both of these cases.
