@_The_Prophet__ Dude, we can beat Spain. When we get passed belgium, we can beat them. We are faster and have better finishers. They are more compact in the back, but our speed and finishing will make the difference. 'Merica!

@ggreenwald Your take is so ignorant. The risk is not the application layer where Palantir lives, its in frontier models that absorb all data and allow it to be exploited. Stick to politics.

Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.

Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.

Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.

Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.

@garypageau @mariashriver @amyklobuchar Also, It won't be our money, it's their money that we have sanctioned.

@MsMelChen I stopped reading that paper a while ago. It has no commitment to free markets or finance. It's just a political rag now.

@MeghanEMurphy I suspect that the dating pool largely switching from alcohol to marijuana is the biggest contributor.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace So, name them.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace @mtgreenee You both overplayed your hands and believed the twitter verse is real. Don't insult others, take your medicine and get better.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace So dumb

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@Jason I think we should be clear. AI does not make kids dumber, bad parents do. AI is a tool. If parents give up and don't parent, that is not an AI problem.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace That's more business for Virginia. Thank you.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace Post the receipts, this is CCCP propaganda. You are falling the the climate hoax all over again. You had such promise, then you went woke right.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace What? Why no propose a moratorium on new oil drilling? It would be equally moronic.

Stop looking at the GPA and look at the projects. My son had a GPA of 3.6 (he hated chemistry) with a CS degree and Math degree from VA Tech , and most bluechip companies won't even look at this Git or Repo. The HR AI is broken for these companies. The GIT is more important that the GPA. He is at a startup now where the interview mattered more than the HR AI inputs.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@NancyMace Don't fall for the CCCP tropes.

[Steve Giordano @zookmax]

@RubinReport @karol Sorkin is quite good an his financial analysis is very good. You disagree on this, but he is not pathetic.

[Guy Benson @guypbenson]

Read the replies ❤️

Goddamn Beautiful. This part was a perfect.

...We do not mourn them as victims of circumstance or “needless war.” That is the language of cowards and revisionists who would rather cheapen the price than face it.

We honor them as the lethal architects of our continuance…steel-eyed, duty-bound, unapologetic.
They were not pawns; they were the tip of the spear, the quiet professionals who carried the Republic on their shoulders when the bill came due...

@SenMarkKelly This is the most stupidest post I have ever read. Just fund and promote: https://t.co/4W8uH4DnRC or WIOA or Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).

Virtual signaling is all you do.

I'm losing lots and lots more followers today because I am glad Thomas "Look at ME!" Massie lost.

So I might as well go all in and purge all the freaks from my follower base.

There are hundreds of nations and thousands of interest groups that constantly seek to influence American public policy.

If the only nation doing that which you are bothered by is Israel, and if the only PAC doing that which you are bothered by is AIPAC, and if you drone on incessantly, endlessly and vigorously about Israel/AIPAC and no OTHER NATION OR PAC, rational, intelligent people know why that is.

It's because you are an antisemite.

And if you want to say "Oh you are so wrong, I'm bothered by ALL nations and PACs attempting to influence US policy," but literally the only time you ever mention it in your X feed is in the context of Israel, you are an antisemite.

Don't like that? Want to unfollow me because I said that?

Good.

Beat it.
