I was expecting to see a bunch of stuff on here today about what Trump said yesterday, but I didn’t, maybe because everyone I follow who would write one has bailed. So if you’re interested, I wrote such A Thing. (link in next tweet)

This is as enjoyable as the best episodes of How It’s Made

One year of chasing later, I am somewhat better informed, and less skeptical, about the account presented.

In my generation we did this with torque stats for our cars

We have way too many men who tie their masculinity and self-worth to their testosterone levels.

It's both very strange and telling.

Not how you are as a father, husband, or in a meaningful pursuit. But your T levels...

Strange times.

@dysinger I agree with you overall though, but I rank a > b. I was never home because I didn’t like being there and I’d get bored out of my mind. My kids are never bored inside and apparently my wife and I are way too fun and interesting.

@dysinger Crime has never been a problem there. I think it’s a combo of infill and fear of legal liability.

Assumption underlying this question: population of kids in charter schools has same SES as in public schools.

Not how it works in my neighborhood.

@swardley Thank you, and thanks for reading!

When I was writing my post on the “150 year olds getting SS” thing, I was struck by how little Elon seems to understand basic things that anyone who has been in the data/information space for a week would take for granted

TL;DR

1. Legacy costs money
2. I'm delusional
3. Grok's delusional
4. Trust me
5. Legacy costs money
6. Conspiracy
7. Legacy costs money
8. Bots can't count
9. People I don't like are behind conspiracy
10. Far right propaganda
11. I'm not far right.

@dysinger My post is about Social Security, that’s what I researched (not Treasury) and I did talk about what the errors mean and how they had been known about and analyzed and determined to be not worth fixing years ago. Would appreciate any feedback you have about it.

e.g. ‘Anyone who knows anything would see these inconsistencies and think “that’s probably due to data entry errors,” unless you are the richest and smartest man in the world, then you’d conclude it’s part of some Marxist neoliberal conspiracy to give lazy people mansions.’

@KAErdmann I bought HOV a bit after their earnings call. Positive earnings surprise, P/E at 3.3, and stock dropped 20%. Bizarro market.

@dysinger @Keir_Starmer The US/UK extradition treaty only allows extradition for actions that are crimes in both countries, so anyone who said that is either trolling or doesn’t know what they’re talking about (or both)

I was also surprised by how many people that I know hold negative views of support for Europe. I wrote a thing trying to explain it simply, called “Why Even Do We Foreign Aid.” (linked in next tweet)

some MAGAS use instead of a reasoned argument, I am most disheartened by the incredible ignorance these posts display when they insist on an isolationist policy that ignores the needs and interests of other countries. They simply do not understand all of the economic and
