Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?
Clayton: I’m not going to get into that with you.
Ossoff: Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions?
@DavePalmerUK1@anonmonk123@RichardHanania I think the only US city that's true for is Chicago (which is also, it's fair to say, a large city). Still, that it's true of any American city is incredible, and I agree with your larger point about the importance of looking at quality of life measures as well.
Harsh red card for USA’s Balogun. Two players going for same ball. Clumsy and looks bad in slow motion as they all do. Reckless and yellow would have covered it. It wasn’t one where Balogun was trying to ‘ leave one ‘ on opponent.
I love the World Cup.
People from all over the World are coming to the USA 🇺🇸 and we are coming to the conclusion that we have more in common with foreigners from all over the World than our own “leaders” and the same applies to them.
“Freese also conducted an elaborate study on penalty kicks—and to this day he considers the results proprietary.
‘I like to keep that one private,’ he says. ‘But I”ll be able to talk about it in 15 years when I’m done playing.’”
This is our quant. 🇺🇸
This is grotesquely irresponsible.
Why do Republicans think a scandal-ridden reality-TV star was going to perform well in one of the bluest districts in the nation in a likely blue year? They liked his AI videos?
I hate the way California counts ballots, but claims of fraud requires evidence of fraud, not outcomes you don't like.
I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie
Trump has won this war 7 times.
He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times.
And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times.
What more do you want from him?
In the future, we might look back at the rise of cheap, weaponized drones as a watershed moment in human geopolitics: in both Ukraine and Iran, it may have given smaller countries a measure of real military deterrence that previously was only available to large nuclear powers…
ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.
no, goddamnit, feynman was just wrong, some ideas are genuinely irreducibly complicated. i know mathematics it would take literally years to explain to a layman, which is literally why graduate school exists as an institution, to do that
high-level mathematics takes place in a very sophisticated language where every concept is defined in terms of other concepts which are defined in terms of other concepts etc. etc. etc. and fully unraveling all of these concepts back to what a layman would be familiar with takes potentially thousands of pages depending on the subject. and i'm not talking about stuff with no applications, this is the level of effort it would take to fully explain all the math that goes into the standard model of particle physics, eg
other subjects are also like this! you might question whether some of these subjects are mostly fake, towers of theory disconnected from reality, but that's a different conversation entirely. the towers of theory actually do exist and require actual effort to climb
