See at first it seemed like a comma error, but now? I think I will have to claim agnosticism

This is why I have heard from others they are disappointed by the response to his most recent antics by โ€œthe poker community.โ€

I still think part of the problem for poker is that there remains no clear agreement among players as to WHAT the game is and what is a fair game and what is a hustle.

I think you guys did the best you could with someone who displayed no self-awareness and either couldnโ€™t or wouldnโ€™t engage in an actual conversation around the issues you and Nate adroitly raised.

After taking the time to listen it could have been a five minute pod. 1) I broke no rules. 2) Even if I did, those shouldnโ€™t be rules 3) Regardless the penalty was too stiff for the rules I didnโ€™t break 4) Really I am playing the game the way it should be played and if you canโ€™t handle it f-off.

Couldnโ€™t agree more. Canโ€™t wait for the day when I say I play poker without having to go into a long explanation afterwardsโ€ฆ

What's happening with these grants is much more complicated and mostly unknown. None of the NIH have been officially cancelled. The NIH was just ordered to stop paying. They got the Unis to enforce silence on their own campuses because they thought they were "negotiating" and cld get the funds back.

Republicans are pushing to restrict abortion pills based on a garbage new 'study.'

Weโ€™ve seen fake data like this reach SCOTUSโ€”but if we make it politically toxic now, we might stop it before it spreads.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Trump: "Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Trump is handling the global economy with the recklessness of somebody playing a low-stakes poker tournament with their buddies six beers deep

The NIHโ€™s drastic cut to indirect cost rates is a critical threat to U.S. research infrastructure The drastic reduction in indirect costs is not a path to innovation or cost savings โ€” itโ€™s a threat to U.S.โ€™s position as global leader in medical research.

My #Yale colleague Harlan Krumholz explains why the cuts to indirect costs are a disaster for biomedical research in the United States. Want to do something about it? I'll list those who have to hear from us below. Share, recruit friends and family to help. 1/ www.statnews.com/2025/02/08/n....

Anyone who ever again suggests that the GOP is the party of the police or the party of law and order should be laughed out of the room. There has never been anything like this before in modern US history: the president pardoning people who we all saw on live TV assaulting police.

A helpful thing to remember, or at least it has been for me: in hard times, there will be discrete momentsโ€”maybe lots of themโ€”where you experience love and joy and community. It is no sin to enjoy them, and arguably more of one to refuse them.

Progressives Should Reject the DOGE Scam Thereโ€™s nothing to gain from indulging the premise that Musk and Trump care about โ€œgovernment wasteโ€โ€”itโ€™s a ploy to gut the entire liberal state.

I wrote about why Dems should not only NOT indulge the transparently bad faith "DOGE committee", but should be messagingโ€“โ€“in unison and at the top of their lungsโ€“โ€“that it's just a rebranded Cat Food Commission designed to take away grandma's social security, weaken workers, and gut public education.
