We figured out to *cure cancer* (ref: last year’s pancreatic cancer trials) and the Trump administration decided β€œnah.” That a society could reject a cure for cancer is astounding.

I agree with this even though I personally learned a tremendous amount from participating in debate as an activity.

The kind of guy most heterosexual women I know are into would be identifiable in part by knowing the perfect response to this idiot: massive well times eye roll.

I have read somewhere that invisible dragons control the growth rate of blueberries . Prove me wrong.

Yes. It disincentivizes building. And whether need is building.

And of course eventually there aren’t enough luxury renters to fill the incurs apartments the build….and they have to lower rents to attract people.

But building luxury apartment La still increases housing stock and thus lowers rent. The people who go to the luxury apartments? They don’t appear out of thin air- they come from other slightly less luxury apartments which then become available and so on down the chain.

This is me. Rent co trip is really bad for getting people into affordable housing. I care a lot about getting people into affordable housing. His endorsement of this makes me deeply doubt his judgment. That said, cuomo hates NYC and is a corrupt asshole who has actively hurt the city.

Have I mentioned I’m ranking Lander first? This isn’t my reason for doing so, but it’s consistent with the ones I already had.

My preferred candidate I think (not for this reason, but this isn’t undermining that fact)

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to assault senior citizens. We can defund this 100%.

Just over one hour left to get your comment in! Do it now, friends - tell Trump's FDA to let us get our COVID vaccines!

🧡 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again.

Trump killed it on day 2.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

You know I feel like I became a philosopher so that I didn’t have to know the usual relationship between bonds and the stock market.

Claim- all journals that want to promote or pretend to respect normative arguments that seriously engage with empirical evidence should have 12,000 word limits, at least. It isn’t possible to substantially engage with both literatures in 10,000 words or fewer without meaningfully faking it.
