If I don’t like Apple’s price hikes, I can take my business elsewhere. I can buy a Samsung phone or a Dell laptop.

On the other hand, if I don’t approve of the taxes Sen. Sanders enacts… I’m screwed. I pay them at gunpoint or I go to prison.

So maybe sit this one out, Bernie.

If @SenWarren shared her $67M and lived on the $285K (itself a great salary) every public school teacher in her state could receive a $900 bonus and she would still make more than 3x the average salary of those teachers.

I can understand the UK's various nations having their own teams for the World Cup. But what really gets me is that there's absolutely zero rhyme or reason to what happens for any particular sport:

Elon Musk just lost over $250 billion in net worth due to SpaceX’s stock decline today

That’s the biggest single-day wealth decline in human history

These numbers are largely illiquid, paper gains that cannot be realized

Your wealth tax is an absolute joke

Japan fans always clean up their section after the match and this time, they were joined by Jameis Winston

Seinfeld episode 2026: Jerry gets tickets courtside and brings George, who decides, with the Knicks down 20 with 10 minutes left, he will leave the game early to beat the rush out of MSG.

As the Knicks mount a comeback he tries to get back into the Garden. He waves his ticket, name drops James Dolan, but nothing works and he ends up getting arrested.

Meantime, Kramer sneaks into the Garden and helps Mike Brown draw up the game winning play.

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie

Has anyone gotten through to him successfully? An older colleague? A friend with more humility?

Another massive L for Chicago.

In 2014, George Lucas picked Chicago for a $1 billion privately funded museum for his legendary collection - Star Wars artifacts, Norman Rockwell paintings, etc. Zero taxpayer dollars.

A left-wing nonprofit (“Friends of the Parks”) sued, claiming a parking lot was sacred “public trust land.” After years of delays, Lucas said screw it and took the whole thing to LA.

Opening this September. It looks incredible.

Meanwhile, Chicago rammed through the Obama Presidential Center on 19.3 acres of historic Jackson Park.
• Originally ~$300M → now $850M (nearly 3x over)
• Promised 2021 opening → now opening June 2026 (5 years late)
• Promised $470M endowment so taxpayers wouldn’t get stuck → only ~$1M deposited

One museum Chicago blocked.
One museum Chicago rammed through.

Chicago’s priorities on full display.

49% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism.

At what point do we admit the Democratic Party has devolved into a socialist party?

50%? 60%? 70%?

[Chris Freiman @cafreiman]

It’s astounding that there are countless stories like these and yet some people still insist that the public sector should run even more of the economy.

[Jason, @jasonc_nc]

Yep. I’m done. Abolish public unions.

I love Boston. Such a great size and layout. Clean. Really good Thai food and burritos. Best sports bars. Literally everyone follows baseball

Nice to see the tables turning a bit on this one

"At least you can eat almonds, you can't eat a data center." I was genuinely not prepared for how stupid the people on the other side of this argument would be.

Average voter: housing here became too expensive, we can’t afford it anymore

Economists: your city needs to build more housing to increase supply

Average voter: I don’t want more housing, I want housing to be more affordable

That’s basically the state of the discourse

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Correct.
