I wonder if the end result of Mr Trump’s tariff boondoggle won’t be some think tank justifying a highly regressive flat tax policy because, β€œLook how much money it brought in to the government!”

Amazing. Trump is taking over Intel - a truly socialist action - and you say Obama is a socialist.

Based on conversations I’ve been having, only about a quarter of Americans know this.

No, no. Just pretend everything is normal and ignore the crisis.

β€œX says it is raining. Y says it is not. Since Y is inside she has less information than X, who is outside getting rained on.” This report is accurate.

@scalzi.com I really enjoyed Starter Villain. I’m sure you only intend for it to be a one-off, but I’d love to know what happens to the dolphins, whales, and cats. And Til.

In theory, I like the sentiment. In practice, what a coward.

The baby’s identity as a Christian is somehow important? So if it’s an atheist baby you can swing away without concern? Huh. Something about this argument seems relevant to abortion rights but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
