Scott, who used to sound like he knew what he's talking about is now podcasting with Darryl "The Holocaust was a big POW oopsie" Cooper. Scott continues to emulate his hero Ron Paul by putting himself with trash people so trash that they start to make you wonder if you dreamed his good qualities.

My colleagues & I recently discussed possible limits to free speech. I argue that regardless of what the appropriate limits are, people with power have incentives to try to repress speech to a degree that's impermissible. When this happens, we need to push back. And I argued that's happening now.

Are there limits to free speech?

Giant Bomb review graphic for Control Resonant.

Score: 4.5/5

"Control Resonant feels like a confident step in a new direction from Remedy, one that is far from perfect but reminds me of the beauty of not knowing everything. Not needing to be the smartest person in the room or correct all of the time, but the beauty in knowing who you are and what you want to be, warts and all."

President Trump has been saying that 2% of the U.S. population accounts for all or almost all crime in the country — and he's using our data to back up the bogus claim. Here's what the data actually shows 🧵

Note to President Trump: No, 2% of the population doesn’t account for all crime
Crime is more complex than the president claims. Pinning blame on a tiny subset of the population is rhetorically useful, but both crime and criminalization ...

I love you baby brother
Dear Travis,

When you were little, you had trouble speaking and we weren’t sure if you would ever learn talk. But as soon as you learned, you never quit. You always had so much to say and passions to pursue. You were a big kid with a bigger heart. We didn’t always have a perfect relationship, but you worked really hard to heal and make amends when things were damaged. We ended up growing close as adults, and I’m so grateful for that. 

Thank you for being you. Thank you for being so energetic and positive. Thank you for listening to the music I loved and sharing the music you loved. Thank you for giving me a beautiful niece. Thank you for being there when I was at my lowest. 

I wish I could’ve been there for you at yours. I wish you hadn’t done this. I wish I didn’t have to write this. I wish you had just listened to me. I wish you could have overcome your disease. I wish you had reached out to me, or anyone, when you needed help. I wish I could see you again. 

I love you Travis Hudson. You’ll always be my baby brother.
