He wasn't wrong, though. ☕

Newsom: If I host Fuentes on my podcast, I will shift 1.2% to the right, which will improve my next election outcome by 0.8%

Pritzker: When I vote, I'm exercising political authority. I'm using force. And force, my friends, is violence, the supreme authority from which all other authority derives.

Not that anyone needs or wants this take but, for '28 horse race reasons, I find it interesting that Texas Dems chose Pritzker and the Chicago Way instead of Newsom.

Feel like its a bad sign about the health of the republic that Pritzker has to talk about TX Dems like they’re the Polish government-in-exile in London

We’re defying basic number theory at this point—riding roughshod over the intrinsic properties of integers.

the real reason they cut terrence tao's UCLA grant is because this administration has launched a war against basic math

Disarmament is wise, moral and good.

Unilateral disarmament is suicide, politically or otherwise.

Sometimes! 🙃

The most common use of AI I see at work isn't developers using spicy autocomplete — it's middle and upper management using it to quickly generate administrivia at a more acceptable level of quality than they can reliably produce on their own.

All Employees: Leisure and Hospitality: Casino Hotels in Nevada All Employees: Leisure and Hospitality: Casino Hotels in Nevada

Closer to 2000, but the numbers don't lie either way.

Granted, some of the decline in leisure and hospitality employment is due to non-LV casinos winding down, especially in Northern Nevada, but certainly not all of it.

Losing our history? The California Digital Newspaper Collection is funded—but all of the employees responsible were laid off anyway The future of an important California news archive is in jeopardy. It contains a handful of Nevada newspapers, including one edition of the Elko Independent, from March 18, 1871—which includes news about a man attempting to burn down Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City.

S1 Garak would vote for Trump in his 1st term out of misplaced loyalty to the Cardassian Alliance (it would weaken the Federation).

Before Trump's 2nd term, he'd become one of Harris's best campaign organizers — and would hack the local registrar's office to change his voter registration record.

S1 Bashir would talk himself into voting third party. Garak would teach him the wisdom of voting to win instead of voting to be right over the course of the series.

Worf would be a principled non-voter because taking a political stand would violate his bureaucratic honor.

Rom would never. I could absolutely see Quark doing so to lower his station tax rate, though.

Dax was a diplomat, a scientist and a psychiatrist. Absolutely not.

The Founders could probably talk Odo into it. Kira's disappointment would be a season-long emotional development arc.

Excepting the shots in the arms, it doesn't hurt.

Cat in black-tie collar standing on tile with two wet-floor warning signs saying "CAT VOMIT--CAUTION" Chyron below: Cat throws up on tile instead of carpet! Developing story. Why did he do it? Is he even a cat? More at 8.

It DOES happen, but not often enough. #Caturday

Bureaucracy is necessary but never sufficient. A truly successful bureaucracy must include people who are more loyal to its mission than the continued existence of the bureaucracy itself.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy is real but it can be overcome through conscious effort.

The fun part about this graph is a lot of office buildings have small data centers in them.

Contrary to the opinions of certain Californians, a private landowner choosing to build a privately owned mixed income high rise building on their private property is not the same thing as an apartheid settlement.

"80 million jobs were added in june, very nice very nice. 300 million jobs added in july, even better. but this month mr president, 2 billion jobs were added," I confidently declare, doing the easiest job in the world so i can own a home in a walkable neighborhood

this is it, guys, the hundred millionth revolution of the “what’s wrong with young men” discourse is the time we are gonna solve it, here on the nation’s sixth or seventh most popular social media site, our median 38 year old user is gonna get it right this time

Official US economic statistics are no longer reliable and community efforts will be needed to replace them. Reply “YES” to this post if you have a job and “NO” if you don’t. Later on someone can count them.

The left needs its own Wilf Pine

The left needs its own 2023 Coronation Street Christmas Day episode

The left needs its own Zhou Enshou

A bot would get pretty far by just highlighting the featured article for the day and running through the "Did you know" section. It wouldn't even have to be random.

For example:

The left needs its own value theory

One of my more conservative opinions is that any government designed to guarantee the liberty of those it governs must limit itself to a small number of properly defined roles — of which none include ensuring men or anyone else are getting laid.

To paraphrase Christopher Rufo, the goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think "Democratic Party." They want to decodify the term and recode it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.

The important thing to remember is ☭AlwaysOnline39🔺, a 13 year old X user who lives on Norfolk Island and has 18 followers, speaks for the whole of the Democratic Party.

Donald J. Trump, however, does not speak for the president, nor for the GOP as a whole, except for when he chooses to.

Probably true, but in the movie Jessup saying it brought him down. Trump could go full "you're goddamned right I did" and Congress would collectively shrug. Within a week senior Dems would be calling it a distraction from kitchen table issues and Rs would be filing bills to lower the age of consent.
