@SeanTrende If you're actually interested, I suggest British Marxist historian E.P. Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class. There's a good summary on ChatGPT and you can go from there. Closer to home, you might try Eugene Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made.

@HalfwayPost Personally oversaw? And all this time, I thought states ran elections.

@sowelleconomics Interesting because Gutman and his "bottom up" view of history was generally associated with the 1960s New Left in its undogmatic, questioning phase.

@mtaibbi The Kronstadt sailors played key roles in the February and October revolutions, and they were stalwart fighters for the Revolution during the Civil War. So, their demands for working class democracy were a bad omen for Lenin.

@HomerPavlos The line is from Shakespeare's Henry VI. In his soliloquy, Richard says: "And, like a Sinon, take another Troy." Act 3, scene 2. AI says the reference is to Virgil's Aeneid.

@visegrad24 I thought Athena was pretty important to the story, but ofc I may be mistaken.

@elonmusk IDK. Since 1980, Republicans have been president and nominating judges for 24 years and Democrats 20. The current Supreme Court is the most conservative since the 1930s. Compare the current Supreme Court to say, the media or the universities. Which is more dominated by liberals?

@TaraBull No, what is on second. Who is on first.

@ChrisExpTheNews @asymmetricinfo ChatGPT obviously mistook your farm for Filburn's.

@visegrad24 Close, but this mosque is in Dearborn Heights, Michigan which is near Dearborn but a different city.

[Tom Schultz @TomSchultz11]

@SwipeWright You don't have a graph for US. I simply note that Dearborn, MI voted for Trump in 2024.

@GiancarloSopo Maverick's film precursor is Steve McQueen's Hilts in Great Escape, both what we Americans call a hot shot pilot. I meant, Captain Hilts.

@jennifer_zilla @MacLeodLisa I believe the goalie is part of the team, which explains why goalies have often been MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

@Jules31415 Typical uninformed Watters rant.

@ishapiro It's the same principle of statutory interpretation as student loans' decision. Don't look for an elephant in a mousehole, as someone once said.

[Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D. @neoavatara]

This is fascinating from Gorsuch:

"Past critics of the major questions doctrine do not object to its application in this case, and they even join much of today’s principal opinion. But, they insist, they can reach the same result by employing only routine tools of statutory interpretation. Post, at 1 (KAGAN, J., joined by SOTOMAYOR and JACKSON, JJ., concurring in part and concurring in judgment). Meanwhile, one colleague who joins the principal opinion in full suggests the major questions doctrine is nothing more than routine statutory interpretation. Post, at 1 (BARRETT, J., concurring). Still others who have joined major questions decisions in the past dissent from today’s application of the doctrine. Post, at 1 (KAVANAUGH, J., joined by THOMAS and ALITO, JJ., dissenting). Finally, seeking to sidestep the major questions doctrine altogether, one colleague submits that Congress may hand over to the President most of its powers, including the tariff power, without limit. Post, at 1���2 (THOMAS, J., dissenting)."

From Gorsuch concurrence.

@CathyYoung63 Albert Camus did a pretty good job in his philosophical essay, The Rebel.
