“Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition 1/
Citizens United is a red herring. It was plainly correct and that it was 5-4 was genuinely stunning.
Leave Citizens United alone. Repeal McCain-Feingold instead. That’s something Congress can actually do.
🚨 We have movement in the #CAGov primary vote count! The estimated number of uncounted votes has increased dramatically, sending the counted percentage backwards:
Grand Wizard: Smokes don't grow on trees.
SPLC: We'll cover the wood for the crosses.
Grand Wizard: Have you seen the price of gas?
SPLC: Don't you people have any inventory?
Grand Wizard: What "people"? There's me and two guys from the ACLU.
SPLC: They've got money.
Grand Wizard: DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS OR NOT
As someone who covered the 1994 NBA Finals, it's a big assignment with a lot of work to do on deadline so I'd like to ask celebrities not to get in any slow car chases with police traliing a white bronco tonight.
Israetel argues that Don't Die is obvious, ahead of its time, and the rational strategy. That in the next 5-10 years, your probability of dying will be 100x lower, and that YOLO is sunsetting.
Land acknowledgments presuppose a theory of real property ownership developed through English Common Law that we then map onto Native populations who had no such system.
By imposing English property theory on them, we subjugate Native populations to Western ways of thinking.
This is a reminder that there are real consequences to counting votes late. When citizens wake up, they expect they'll see some results that decently reflect the election outcome.
Seeing this — and then seeing Pan surge in the last 45% of the vote — destroys trust in elections.
Imagine spending 100k to attend a school where you are encouraged to intellectually neuter yourself for an education that won't prepare or qualify you for future work. Let alone, encourage you to be curious. That's what the modern university system has become.
@MartinSkold2 Tweeted this without seeing the rest of the tweet about input prices. True, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that inputs are stuck in the strait (sulfuric acid being the major example that I’ve heard about from in-the-know folks).
Regardless, down with the petrodollar.
Good news, guys: We may have finally ended the petrodollar system (maybe). Now we can build industry, right?
(Checks prices on energy, oil, sulfuric acid, aluminum, plastics…)
Uh, guys? We may have a problem here.
I lived in SD for eight years and never ventured north. There’s nothing currently.
The TR Presidential Library will be there, however, and that is worth the visit.
@MichaelWatsonDC@CTIronman Rail from Boston to DC costs about the same as flying, but takes twice as long.
I like trains and would use them more often, but it’s weird when people think it’d be cheaper
Tariffs were one of the founding pillars of the GOP and the Iowa Republican party just nominated a guy who wants to tax data centers and wall street hedge funds.
First it was, "If they're so good, companies should pay $100k to hire them."
Nvidia said it would pay the $100k fees.
Then it was, "If they're so good, we should raise the base salary to $200K."
Nvidia pays some of them $500K.
Now it is: "Why won't they hire Americans?"
No matter what it is, they will never be happy. Always want to play the victim.
