It's like JMK's old quote: "A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way with his fellows, so that no-one can really blame him."

So it's like the mid to late 2000s baseball managers who thought the insight from Moneyball was ops, not that ops was undervalued.

She was shoved off the glass cliff to protect Mulroney... and John Tory convinced her to swing for the fences and missed. A think without Tory the PCC goes to ~10-15. On the other hand, she does have a great post-pm career

And the song cue is the only reason I remember, but I still needed to double check

I had a French IR prof in undergrad who would keep calling Pétain "putain" accidently on purpose all the time...

French citizen, teaching in English, when one quarter to half the class spoke french...

And any arrest for conduct before taking office isn't happening during office, and even then, I'm sure that Roberts will keep inventing new doctrines to protect his special little guy.

John Roberts said no unfortunately

Economist article: That irritating feeling that France was right. Donald Trump's America makes Gaullism respectable again

Is there anything more British than being annoyed at the notion of admitting De Gaulle might have been right?

I'll also admit to owning a VR headset, but it's primarily for fitness and flight sims, I don't do metaverse.

I see nuclear as part of a broad carbon free or carbon limited portfolio to provide a base since the last 5-10% of the grid needs it for deep decarbonization, but I hate crypto (it's basically a money laundering tool a greater fool scam), nft (same) with a burning passion.

LLMs have some uses (natural language human-machine interphase, the tech behind it is like how gluten free movement increases choice for those with celiacs, such as image upscaling, machine translation, recycling optimization), but it a bubble and I don't see a world where ROI justifies it.

I was thinking of the pleaseclap.gif. he had all the establishment support, his brother's machine and could not get it over the line.

Because that's how a person becomes a general election candidate . Jeb! Didn't clear that bar in 2016 despite the establishment wanting him.

Fuck off CNN about speculation about Canadian electoral votes. #neveramerican

Armageddon at Megiddo for the Protestant who seek the end of the world like Gendo seeking the third impact?

Strong party system to a good job at gatekeeping against very weak leaders. The worst I can think of since WW2 was John Turner, but he was a loyal party man and acted as PET's sin eater. And if he had won against Mulroney, he would have been a safe pair of hands

It's still the American state that's trying to crush us. Trump is as American as Bull Connor.

If you're wondering why Canadians are nervous, it's never good to become the focus of the mentally unwell ruler of a larger nuclear armed neighbour

Garland and Smith were stymied by the supreme Court that played Calvinball with rules of evidence and created presidential immunity from whole cloth.

Note, he's only infallible when teaching doctrine ex-cathedra (aka from his chair). It's way more limited than most think

Yeah, my work colleagues were astonished at how far Foxborough is from downtown Boston.

So should we have truth in advertising and rename the NJ Jets and NJ Giants to the NY Metro Jets and NY Metro Giants?

@andrewtorrez.bsky.social this seems extreme?

It can still get worse
