@andrew_lilico @sciencegirl I would keep starting new games until I got a map that was awesome. Then, hours would fly by as I built out cities and conquered the world.

@Andercot @EarthlyCovenant @EagleworksSonny Grok says 2kw per cubic meter, and 200kw per cubic meter with multi-layer chips and die-stacking, which results in 100x higher power in same footprint.

@JustinPetersMin You're assuming that you need to break the laws of physics to travel really far, really fast. A theoretical Alcubierre drive would do just that. No laws of physics are broken. What's only theoretical today has a way of becoming science tomorrow. Never say something is impossible.

@lucawashenko This nearly happened to my mom when buying her home. She received an email from her realtor with new wire instructions. It was a man in the middle attack. Went to the bank with her to resolve, Secret Service was involved. Thankfully, they were able to get the money back.

It looks like the residents of hyper-partisan states will continue to self-segregate. On the one hand, we have increasingly high tax and super-woke policies in progressive states like NJ, NY, and CA. On the other, we have low tax, no-woke policy states like FL and TX that serve as a destination for Republicans/conservatives from elsewhere.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

New Jersey would be very competitive politically if all the Republicans who moved to FL from NJ since I‘ve been governor were still voting in New Jersey.

Bad leftist policies drive out center/right voters and leave the remaining electorate even more left.

Good luck with that!

The NYT reveals Mamdani’s policies were written by 28–34 y/o DSA staffers, most with zero government experience — and his city hall hiring chief is from California.

This is who could run the world’s financial capital and manage NYC’s 300k employees and $112B budget.

British woman is shocked to realize the US is much better than what the media had her thinking:

"It is absolutely crazy how the media will really have you believing that a place is completely different from the reality."

@MarkWarner I thought it was because you keep voting against reopening the government? That's what everyone is saying, including union leaders.

OOF! Top Economist Mohamed El-Erian on Trump Tariffs: We Were All Wrong!

“We thought there would be massive retaliation against the U.S. — there hasn’t been. Europe, the U.K., a number of Asian countries have all signed framework agreements. The only outstanding ones are India, Canada and China and there’s clear progress on China,” El-Erian continued.

"Secondly, we’re collecting a lot of tariff revenues. On an annual basis, we’re now looking at $300 billion of tariff revenues. Third, the impact on inflation has been limited. So if you look at what people have been worried about: The U.S. has gotten to a fairer trading system without the disadvantages that people thought would materialize. Now it’s early days, so one has to consolidate these gains. But it’s a different outcome from where many economists, including me, thought we would be."

I got vaccinated in February of 2021 and my cough started around November to December of 2021. That is right in the time frame for my tyoe of lung cancer.

Again, it doesn't matter to me if the vaccine caused my cancer. Dealing with it is something I'm focused on now.

You're putting an awful lot of effort into proving me wrong. Why are you so afraid that the vaccine could be harming some people, even if it's a very small number?

[Brad Schnure @schnure]

@umbrellaman92 @LRChauchat @FrankLuntz Many people who developed cancer during the pandemic, whatever the cause, will likely not be reflected in that data yet. There are treatments, like the one I'm on, that can add some number of years to life.

[Brad Schnure @schnure]

@MizThatch @FrankLuntz I'll mention it, but it obviously won't change how we're treating my cancer. It'll likely be a quick point that I bring up. I do find it interesting that she didn't recommend getting a COVID booster when I asked her last winter. She said hold off, but here's your flu shot.

[Brad Schnure @schnure]

The first symptoms that I noticed was nearly immediately after getting the vaccine with my heart rate. The annoying cough started a few months later. I spent nearly a year going to multiple specialists trying to understand if it was allergies, sinus issues and post-nasal drop, and even wondered if it was my dog that had just moved into my house. Lots of reasons we didn't think lung cancer at the time. I was mid-40s, relatively healthy non-smoker. All I'm saying is don't be so quick to joke that nobody is dropping dead from the vax. I'll never know if it caused mine, but the timeline is pretty damning. I'm done here.

[Brad Schnure @schnure]

It was nearly 2 and a half years between my vaccine (2/21) and diagnosis (8/23).

When I said "several years" in the op-ed written in 12/24, that is referring both to my time since diagnosis and also before diagnosis going back to the summer of 2022 when I had a CT scan denied. Is nearly 3 years not "several years"?

[Brad Schnure @schnure]

I honestly don't care since it doesn't change that I have cancer. I went from healthy and active before vaccination to very quickly developing symptoms after. Yes, correlation does not equal causation, but it's sure as hell suspicious. And I think the story will change as more studies on serious post-vaccination impacts are published.

@FrankLuntz What I meant was that I haven't seen my oncologist since I made the connection between the vaccination and my initial symptoms. I see her every 3 months.

As a quick follow-up, I have an oncogenic cancer caused by a fusion of EML4-ALK gene (ALK-positive lung cancer). It's an extremely aggressive cancer that grows very quickly. It likely started with a single, abnormal cell. In the normal scheme of things, my immune system likely would have identified it as foreign and cleared it out without me ever knowing. If it developed shortly after getting the vaccine, however, I believe my immune system may have been suppressed and couldn't clear it away.
