@CubicSquare7 @amazingmap Housing prices in Utah were already climbing and then they skyrocketed after the pandemic. Houses there cost more than double what they did in like 2015.

@goingsolo602 @FT Read the First Amendment.

[James @Music_Sandbox]

@goingsolo602 @FT So the first amendment means literally nothing to you.

@LeorSapir @nytimes @NIH Did yall read the whole thing? She said that politics came up in a different part of her conversation where she was talking about how to communicate results AFTER publication. She said there was no delay, and the study just takes time. The headline was just a flat out lie.

10 years ago today, Lady Gaga opened the 2013 MTV VMAs with an epic performance of “Applause” https://t.co/DsKVYTSCKs

@Nate_Cohn Maybe you could update the needle when you have time and just say "last updated 8:14AM on DATE".

@TallgirlBigcity @flounder_MA @pbump It's not that Republicans don't see him as crazy. They just associate him really really closely with the terms "socialist" and "communist", which they care a lot about--which is not to comment on whether there is sexism nonetheless embedded in their views of Warren.

@kindofbluenyc @emprestheodora @NateSilver538 Actually, even Alabama, in the heart of Republican land, didn't end up backing Roy Moore.

@FakeHoppe @HarlemFlipper @NateSilver538 Who would want to admit they are against freedom -- i.e. what liberal means?

There can be a hundred people in a room, and sometimes one of them is Glenn Close.

@davematson @NateSilver538 Apparently south Carolina did it in 2004, and the article quotes someone as strongly implying that it will happen again. Apparently it is definitely something they will actually discuss.

@HaleyReinhart's high note just guts me in this song. Killer vocalist, especially live. https://t.co/h1uML8RCPV

I don't like the trend of treating Trump's approval among GOP voters as the headline and his overall approval number as the subheadline.

Both are important, but the overall number is more important.

His approval among independents is also important, and rarely gets mentioned.

@meherbear BTW gross tour receipts =/= take home pay. Katy Perry probably takes home like 30% of gross, if she negotiates well. She might take home 10% on gross single & album sales (more for songs where she is getting a writing credit).

[James @Music_Sandbox]

@meherbear Great articles articles on Cosmo RE Taylor Swift and Katy Perry net worth. But, they incorrectly cite # unit sales as $ sales (album = like $13).

[James @Music_Sandbox]

@RonMilliken @simmnfierzig Also, I suspect Ariana's song will be relatively front-loaded because it's kind of an event single. Streams in particular are likely to be front-loaded, and they are already barely competitive with Drake's streams.
