@agraybee I feel like two of the biggest parts of maturing are realizing that sex wasn't invented recently, and that you are more likely to have been a slave owner than run an underground railroad stop

When I fell asleep at the Garden, the Knicks were Winning. Then when I wake up, I see the Spurs have "won." It seems that in the 4th Quarter, the so-called referees kept "finding" Points for the Spurs. Rigged! Fake Game!

@sathaxe Hilton had an opportunity to run as Arnold's spiritual successor, and instead embraced Trump

this is the foundational belief of the modern right

"yeah i was wrong but doesn't that kinda make me right?"

the only actual conspiracy against electing Republicans in California is the idiots in our state's Republican Party who conspire to prevent their party from nominating socially liberal, fiscally conservative moderates who can actually get enough votes here.

“Egypt?”

“No, Tennessee.”

Your first instinct to most commercial activity should be “yes, so long as…” rather than “no, unless…”

The latter will make for a sclerotic formal private sector but also a stretched & incompetent public oversight. The License Raj wasn’t even good for shaping effective public institutions.

There are limits to what can be regulated well, pick your spots wisely

Brits in England: “This is the worst world cup ever!”

Germans driving a Mustang through Georgia with the top down to a game: “🎶AND I’M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I’M FREE!!!🎶”

Spain is experiencing Chattanooga, TN.

Argentina is in Auburn, Alabama.

Germans are eating Waffle House.

Brits are still complaining.

This World Cup has been amazing and it hasn’t even started yet.

Spencer Pratt did so much better with early mail-in and in-person voters than with later mail-in voters that people may start asking if those early vote numbers were fraudulently inflated. Some might find it fishy that he did so well in the early count, given how badly he did in the later count.

@campbellmi13 @mattyglesias they both take several days to a week to count their votes as well

You gotta realize that if you embrace all the awesome stuff about America, we will not just embrace you back, we will *adopt you as one of us*. I'd give this guy a green card tomorrow, no questions asked. He's American as apple pie, hell yeah brother.

[Jason Bennett 🌐 @evil_architect]

@campbellmi13 @mattyglesias if the allegations are baseless, why would anyone be persuaded by changing the system?

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Honestly I like baseless allegations of fraud in California better than the argument that the slow vote count somehow enables baseless accusations. Why would it be harder to do fraud fast?

A good example of predictive AI from the Waymo Driver: in a split second, it predicted an initial crash of human-driven cars in the next lane, anticipated a secondary collision, and proactively shifted lanes — all while  managing its distance from the vehicles around it.

[Alex Kirshner @alex_kirshner]

This is a national tragedy. It was inevitable after 2020 and Megyn's probably lying here, but if you get to the point where you can't believe Rs finished third in jungle primaries in a deep blue state in a year the R president's favorability is minus a billion, nothing's real

[Dj @DjsokeSpeaking]

Spencer Pratt ran a campaign tailored to the online maga-right in a *D+45 city* in a blue wave year

He’s a terrible candidate who ran a terrible campaign that didn’t even make an attempt to win and now these losers are still promising their 15th reckoning

[Max @maxtmcc]

One idea I really enjoy is that Democrats have an unbeatable vote rigging operation, but instead of just using it all the time, they sadistically employ it only after briefly giving Republicans hope

[Jason Bennett 🌐 @evil_architect]

@BayAreaNewLibs Agreed, the shift is almost a law of physics at this point

[Jason Bennett 🌐 @evil_architect]

@BayAreaNewLibs An interesting perspective that I hadn't considered - so you believe that if CA still took forever, but there was no real vote shift, we wouldn't see these objections
