Nobel Prize winners react to idea of Trump winning economics award White House trade adviser Peter Navarro believes President Trump's trade policies have earned him a nomination for the award.

Liberals complaining about this are just hypocrites; they loved it that President Bartlett had one.

Bourdieued Bourdieus predisposed to function as Bourdieuing Bourdieus

Last Saturday for 12 years watching the Lions with the help of three one-eyed Aussie commentators.

I liked the moment in the Billy Joel documentary where Bruce Springsteen appears looking much like a piece of finely polished mahogany that someone has brought to be assessed on Antiques Roadshow.

In addition to the groundhog who lived on his head, the doco really highlights How many songs are comically autobiographical. “We left Hollywood so I wrote ‘Say Goodbye to Hollywood’”; I was on a bus in NY so I wrote “NY State of Mind”; I started to hate my wife so I wrote “Man I Hate My Wife Now”

To reiterate, as a trained observer of human behavior I’d hazard the opinion that it’s bad for there to be no negative consequences for repeated, barefaced, public lies; and also speculate that it’s bad to subordinate the institutional production of knowledge to the personal vanities of leaders.

Donald J. Trump 9+ @realDonaldTrump I was just informed that our Country's "Jobs Numbers" are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records - No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under "TRUMP" despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting "Kamala" elected - How did that work out? Jerome "Too Late" Powell should also be put "out to pasture." Thank you for your attention to this matter! 2.37k ReTruths 7.88k Likes Aug 01, 2025 at 2:09 PM

This is extremely bad. Soviet Tractor Production numbers stuff.

Pete Hegseth’s aides used polygraphs against their own Pentagon colleagues Defense secretary’s staff ordered lie detector tests, at least once without his knowledge, to undercut rivals, sources say

Gonna go out on a limb and say this is not a good way to run an organization.

It was in fact a throwaway joke. Which is fine. Look, not everything has to be read and especially not replied to under the most tasteless or upsetting or insulting possible reading of its contents. Waffles and pancakes, etc.

The point is made right here on my t-shirt man

I am kinda fascinated by the emerging joint deployment of “Mamdani would take away the NYPD’s ability to effectively deal with shootings like the one that happened on Monday” and “It’s impossible to prevent shootings like the one that happened on Monday”, sometimes on the same page of the newspaper.

A new line of puzzles may be opening in the “Who was President in 2020?” test and it is “Who was Mayor of New York last Monday?”

It’s funny to see this run more or less alongside their real-life “No way to prevent this from happening” headline.

so, uh, not being just like this imaginary guy Painsta who is the famously scrupulous ruler of a fictional land ok nvm

rent behavior. If current score has already been defined in terms of the history of the players' behavior up to now, in the way just suggested, then we have defined correct play in terms of current and previous behavior. Once score and correct play are defined in terms of the players' behavior, then we may eliminate the defined terms in the directive requiring correct play and the directives concerning score. Thanks to the definitions constructed from the constitutive rules, the regulative rules become simply directives to strive to see to it that one's present behavior bears a certain rather complicated relation to the history of the players' behavior in previous stages of the game. A player might attempt to conform to such a directive for various reasons: contractual obligation, perhaps, or a conventional understanding with his fellow players based on their common interest in enjoying a proper game.

Huh, this Daily Nous thing on strong and weak players is a lot more worked-out than I thought

This is also the field that the Daily Nous’s “Alex Rails” is strong-playing the hell out of, btw

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Going to write “because of, or perhaps despite” to really flip the script on this sentence.
