I live all over, but Texas and SF feel like home. Sometimes DC. My superpower is I see so many awesome people, and I do my best to call them out. Mr. Rogers is my hero. And Ted Lasso. I also like programming, using AI for good, and macroeconomics. He/him

In some ways, once we go tribal, we are wired to fight to the very end.

Under King Vance, the murder of US citizens will be grounded in a coherent ideology.

Remember, the American consumer chugs along, using credit card debt, until they donโ€™t. Lagging indicator.

I do believe in good karma for youโ€ฆ

But when you are finally seen as rightโ€ฆ I worry about that time.

This one could go awhile as air traffic controllers, SNAP benefits, and the military are more protected.

Remember, you are asking millions of federal workers and their families to go without pay.

Iโ€™ve spent decades wondering how I can think heโ€™s genius or think heโ€™s crap. Love him. Hate him.

Yup, heโ€™s everyone of us. Heโ€™s every self of us.

Wonderful.

Heโ€™s the bored girl with the mousy hair while watching the cavemen sailors fight, major tom and ziggy, the guy afraid of America, the disco pop star, a hero, a rebel, oh no, love, youโ€™re not alone, no matter what or who youโ€™ve been

This is why the original post isโ€ฆ not that interesting. Of course they did.

All I want is more ways we can stop this.

Miller was also the guy that wanted brown janitors to clean up behind him at lunchโ€ฆ I didnโ€™t meet a single guy like that in high school.

Funny how technological progress and the nature of bureaucracy led to Ukraine quickly becoming a dominant drone power

Following the fall of Maduro, many Russian war bloggers are starting to realize in what bad shape Russia is. The events in Venezuela are unanimously considered a strategic Russian defeat, and they admit that Russia is currently too weak to help any Russian allies.

Who brings the suit? Congress? Not likely. Hope Iโ€™m wrong there.

Can a third party?

Clearly IANAL. :)

The Executive Branch will not enforce the law. Congress is unlikely to compel the Executive Branch through suing, impeaching, or withholding funds.

There was no penalty specified in the law for failing to comply.

IANAL, but can a separate plaintiff sue? Whatโ€™s the next step here?

Youโ€™ve traded freedom for more love and structure. Itโ€™s a great trade.

If we make it through this, at least we will have successfully rooted out many of the hidden termites that had been secretly gnawing away at our society. Got em all to come out.

If you told me that solving for eigenvalues/vectors in college would lead to writing game engines, would lead to looking at adjacent latent spaces for misogynist and racistsโ€ฆ I would have asked what you been smokinโ€™.

Yet, here we are.

Only if it will cost them their jobs. Sadly, this wonโ€™t.

Venezuela this morning.

Once a dominant leader is gone, and clear successor accepted by the crowd, there is a natural rush for the Launch Pad as the here-to-fore powerless seek control.

For American policymakers, time is of the essence, as the potential for chaos is high.

Also, i liked the shift from โ€œMonster of the Weekโ€ to โ€œHow can we traumatize Oโ€™Brien some more this week.โ€

Without forced 26 episodes, they never would have stumbled on whippinโ€™ boy Oโ€™Brien episodes.
