Weird that this is a thing. Superman was always trying to understand humanity being from another planet. It's a huge part of the lore.

i'm being reminded, in general, that the left hates liberals as much as republicans. that's unfortunate.

Another Berkeley professor told the author:

“In my second-year engineering class, a student asked me to explain why 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6…. The lecture had to stop while I explained fractions.”

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.

China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

Matt is correct here. Progressives don’t want to hear it, but the US taxes the rich as much as anyone else. The difference is that we tax poor and middle class earners a lot less.

GDP is not casual. That is well known.

Having larger rather than smaller GDP is better across all measurable "things." That is also well known.

High GDP == gooder society...

[Insert meme pic of "high GDP is gooder", "line goes up", etc.]

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

GDP isn't everything. But it's pretty much everything it's supposed to be.

This is me. Not exactly but really close.

America never believed the world belonged to us. We believed that the world, if allowed to determine its own destiny, would choose to look more like us. We weren't totally wrong about that either.

Big shoes to fill.

And, unfortunately, he isn't getting the benefit of the doubt from people. I have my reservations.

I didn't know Helen of Troy could generate so much conflict.

"Objectively?" Sure, man...

[Barry @BarryOnHere]

Peyton Manning was objectively better than Tom Brady for literally a decade when they were playing at the same time and yet somehow Brady is better all-time lmaoo

A news reporter asked Michael Jordan if he thought the ’90s Bulls could beat LeBron’s Lakers.

MJ: Yes.
Reporter: By how much?
MJ: Two or three points.
Reporter: Why so close?
MJ: Most of us are almost 60 now.

[Jeremy Smith @jeremysmith]

Very interesting.

My new blog post from my chart book dives into some wonky budget history:

What *really* balanced the budget between 1998 and 2001? The common narrative is false: President Clinton and Newt Gingrich and the govt shutdowns had little to do with the subsequent balanced budgets.

Reading about linguistics has been really liberating. Ending sentences with prepositions will never again be something I’m concerned with. Turns out it’s totally made up, something arbitrary that only high school English teachers complain about.

[Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth) @antoniogm]

One of the IQ tests in the discourse is whether you think @FukuyamaFrancis is a discredited naïf or a prescient, cynical genius, because you actually read past the title ‘End of History’ through 30 chapters of reinterpreted Hegel and Nietzsche and got to the devastating conclusion.

[Jeremy Smith @jeremysmith]

That's the quote.

It feels like we're working backward (which is bad) to find the description of what's happening; thus, we stumble upon Fukuyama.

But, it is too accurate to discount. You can feel it.

[Jacob Nestle @JN4Liberty]

Fukuyama might be the most vindicated political theorist of the last century.

[james hawkins @james406]

Tim Cook took Apple's valuation from $347 billion to $4 trillion during his tenure

but if he had just taken that $347 billion and invested it in NVIDIA instead, he would have $139 trillion today

this is probably why he stepped down

lesson: timing the market > time in the market

I am so so sick of accepting cookies. The EU has subtracted a similar number of minutes from my life, on purpose, as an environmental toxin that they would ban.

Robot war!

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

When soldiers are taught how to survive an FPV drone, they’re taught “how to try to survive.”

Rule number one: don’t stay together. One strike can wipe out a group. If you scatter, the drone has to pick one target. After that — it’s all down to chance, The Telegraph. 1/

‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions.

«The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.
