Making a government efficient isn't rocket science, it's even harder than rocket science. That said, if we're going to let rocket scientists run government, let them first show that they can actually operate rockets.

Thank you so much for supporting Jo's music. He is, to my ears, one of the finest living composers. And a great person to boot!

The world just witnessed the single most appalling, most embarrassing, factually and morally bankrupt performance by a US President (and Vice President.) Trump claims he wants peace, but what he obviously wants is for Ukraine to suffer an enormous loss and for Europe to descend into chaos.

So... Musk's idea of a model judiciary system is El Salvador?

So... The Trump (mis)administration is setting up "peace" talks without the participation of Ukraine and, at the same time, wants Ukraine to agree to pay back the US for its support on terms -- including mineral rights -- worse than those demanded of Germany in Versailles.

Point well taken, but have you ever seen a dog react when a small child pulls hard on its tail? The cause may be minor, but the pain is very real.

So... the author of a book called "The Art of the Deal" begins negotiations with Putin by giving away the two things Ukraine most wants, a return of land and NATO membership. Remarkable negotiation strategy: start by abandoning all the leverage you have.

I don't know how they're going to square a government in which one major source of support is all about fracking and another is all about electric cars.

Kurt GΓΆdel, before his court appearance to become a US citizen, said that he had found a flaw in the Constitution, such that the country could vote itself into a dictatorship. He was dissuaded by Einstein from mentioning this to the judge. Looks like someone's rediscovered GΓΆdel's flaw.
