The crusade against standardized testing failed so hard.

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

this is a pretty big asymmetry in us politics: republicans essentially get a free roll to take some populist, anti-business stands without the business lobby releasing the dogs of hell on them because they still prefer them to democrats

It’s my daughter’s birthday and I just wanted to say that all of this is true.

You should have kids. It’s a beautiful mess.

Added 203 miles to my EV last night at a cost of $6.44

My EV was made in Bryan County, Georgia, USA. The same $7.6b plant that DHS raided last year, detaining 300 South Koreans. A local official pleaded w them to return to teach locals how to use the tech they installed

Because Waymo is rapidly scaling up its operations, we're rapidly accumulating more evidence on the question of whether it's safer than human drivers. The case for Waymo being safer than human drivers in in some sense almost twice as strong as it was in October.

Can someone please do this for Boston?

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

I've written about this before, but it's remarkable how much older music is strangling new music.

And the same is true in books, movies, video games. Older media is taking up a bigger and bigger share of the market every year.

Trump threatened to cut off the economy’s hand (Liberation Day) and then people freaked out, and then he said “fine fine I’ll just chop off the economy’s pinkie above the knuckle” (the adjusted exempted tariffs) and then the economy got worse at everything involving the full use of five fingers (manufacturing etc), and Oren Cass is triumphant that this is a victory for all advocates of digital amputation.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

[Jason Gallagher @jga41agher]

It's silly how many people are saying "If the Spurs take the 1 seed, Wemby takes the MVP from SGA." Putting that much weight on seeding is ridiculous. Whether the Spurs finish .5 games in front of or behind OKC shouldn't determine if you're gonna vote for the guy.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

This is shaping up as the most consistent finding in housing studies: Building lots of luxury housing can reduce rents at the top of the market—but the people it helps most are renters struggling to afford even the least desirable units

[Daily Thunder @dailythunder]

So tired of SGA being the poster child for foul calls people don't like. The evidence would say that SGA gets fewer of these types of calls than other superstars.

Bro just set a record that took 127 (!!) games to achieve, but we're going to talk about 1 foul call?

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Name calling from a draft dodger doesn't bother me. What bothers me is a clueless commander in chief who took our country to war without a strategy because no one around him has the guts to tell him when he's wrong.

Idk when exactly it happened but fandom went from loving your favorite team/player to hating everyone except your favorite team/player.

[Logan Bowers 🏗️ 🏘️ @loganb]

Porter, Booker, and the other electeds doing this slopulist nonsense are conceding two things:
1) they have no credible plans to lower costs in their high cost states

2) the public services provided aren’t worth what the taxpayers are paying

Incredibly bleak. We have no party for state capacity.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

[coopz @Coopz___]

The Los Angeles Lakers are the third seed in the Western Conference with Luka Doncic dropping a 50 point triple double to make that happen

He’s not even on the MVP ladder

[Mike Cugno @MikeCugnoCBS4]

When @ByTimReynolds asked Erik Spoelstra about the reaction to Bam Adebayo's 83 point performance.

"I apologize to absolutely no one. Period."

[Micah Adams @MAdamsStatGuy]

Bam Adebayo broke math.

His 83-point game was 8.5 standard deviations above his career average (or ~1 in 53 quadrillion)

Based on career avgs, its like:

Patrick Mahomes passing for 915 yards
Justin Verlander throwing 214 pitches in a start
Wilt Chamberlain grabbing 79 rebounds
