You can't actually have a functional democratic society if every statesman is competing to pander to the public in the dumbest ways. This lowest common denominator shit is utterly self defeating.

This is an insane stat from @amiejust.com about the 2026 Nebraska Girls State Basketball Tournament:
"For the first time in the girls tournament, all of the teams that advanced to the championship game were public schools."

Democrats are somehow moving towards βno one except the rich should pay any taxes,β and thatβs how we break everything.
We canβt have the society we want that way. We canβt fund the programs we want, and the social fabric of society will fall apart.
The instinct is bad and we should reject it.

The Rockies lost 119 games. They'll probably be in last place again.
But for the first time since 1999, they've hired from outside to run baseball ops. What can you look for right now to see some evidence of long-overdue modernization?

outside of a few extreme cases at the far ends, the idea that what's wrong with America is that our federal income tax is not progressive enough is just wrong wrong wrong

Michael Porter Jr. clarifies his Andrew Tate comment when he said sometimes he plays Andrew Tate around women to see their reaction. He added that he experienced a similar backlash as Andrew Tate when he refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine, saying they put allegations on you when you are speaking facts "They put my dawg in jail with no proof he did any of that... They tried to say he trafficked them, but we don't know. We know that they will put allegations on the people that are speaking too much facts... But his underlying message, like now, when I watch any of his stuff, he just likes to speak pretty true. Now he has has a platform; he's not doing all that wild stuff... When I didn't get the vaccine, all of a sudden they started talking crazy about me. They tried to make me sound i'm slow or stupid because I didn't get the vaccine. Now you fast forward a couple years later, now everybody wishes they didn't get the vaccine... All this research coming out about why it was harmful for you all, a lot of scientists have come out and said there's no way clinically that they could be out a safe vaccine within 6 months. The vaccine was not safe to take, and it caused a lot of harm.
They flat out won this trade even with Cam Johnson having no idea how to get a shot in the Jokic offense
