You were called Blue MAGA because you repost this… So many human rights abuses in Gaza. Group punishment & Intentional starvation of civilians. Like a 9-11 truther, or Alex Jones, you imply that Netanyahu staged a hijacking? What does this do to the persuadable who live in the world of facts?

The problem isn’t that Schmitt didn’t prove that Smith was in Atlanta Nor that Atlanta is large and being there doesn’t mean he was colluding w Fani Willis it’s that it is routine for federal and local prosecutors to confer in related crimes: “parallel coordination” or “cooperative federalism”

Kennedy was one of six Republican senators to object to the certification of Arizona's electors in the 2020 presidential election. The other five: Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Tommy Tuberville, Roger Marshall, and Cindy Hyde-Smith.

I feel like the Bo French UT-Austin bigotry story didn’t get as much attention on this platform as I would have expected. Tell me again why the illiberal left defined assimilation and melting pot narratives as either untrue or racist? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/o...

Just returned from a run working on my Spanish with a 1 hour conversation with an LLM. I do this daily. LLMs are useless because Dave says so? The paper industry uses 5x the energy (and 7x the water) as all data centers combined. Why are data centers different than other factories or warehouses?

1/ Love you, Robert, but c’mon. Paper industry uses 5x the energy and 7x the water as all data centers combined. History will not be kind to those propagating this moral panic What industry doesn’t make oligarchs richer?

I don’t like inequality, the aesthetics of tech bros, or the surveillance that AI might enable either….but why not recognize that data centers are just “medium” in their environmental footprint. Not much different than other factories . Paper processing uses 5x the energy. It’s like Blue MAGA

This post was right above your post in my feed. Same exact number problem. Populists across the political spectrum have never taken a math class that wasn’t required for graduation.

Sometimes I think we forget that Amazon was THE face of the dot com bubble and bubble-burst. If I had put in $1000 in Amazon stock at the time, it would be worth nearly a million dollars today. Which is to say that if an equity is in a bubble, it may (or may not) still have significant value.

Kay Abughazaleh came pretty close. Every sentence with Blue MAGA on this platform has a noun, a vowel, and a conspiracy involving Israel.

He was sitting above me at the Ivory Coast v Curacao game in Philly last week. Someone angrily threw a clothing item at him and he signed it with his autograph and dropped it back down.

Got this email today from my governor (Youngkin)…when two state lawmakers in MN were killed for their political beliefs, it was crickets, what is going on? I’ve been in Spain this week….what is different where Paul Pelosi is a punch line for these guys and for Kirk, is a moment of reckoning?

The (non-oil) states with the highest taxes, highest education spending, most immigrants, most unions, and bluest policies are also the most prosperous. When the citizenry began sending this, Fox began highlighting violent crime anecdotes in generally safe blue cities to counter this narrative.

For like 10+ years before 1990, flight attendants and pilots whisked through airports with suitcases like we see today—with handles and wheels proportionate to their size. While travelers had no wheels or big suitcases with straps that toppled over tiny wheels. What was up with that?

Fans of Veep, Arrested Development, Community, and Silicon Valley: how are these four minor character actors not headlining movies for the last ten years? If you’re a Hollywood casting director, get them in a film together…comedy buddy road trip movie?

As an architect, I saw resistance to waterless urinals in my early career from elderly men with rural accents. Presumably they remembered outhouses. As they died off, resistance evaporated. As the WWII generation died off, we likewise have a new questioning of the value of democracy and capitalism?

Continuing, she lied on the escort service website, claiming she was 19. The Clinton-appointed federal judge excoriated the feds for slow-walking the case…but Gaetz took illegal gifts from a lobbyist and hid them…so please stop pearl-clutching over the girl’s age and focus on the corruption.

I held the view that, aside from vibes, the economy of the last four years was rock’n until last month when I started fooling around with FRED (St Louis Fed economic stats online) and changed per capita average anything to median same-thing. Then the economic data didn’t look as good.

If you appreciated the Clinton presidency, as I did, despite the credible accusations of rape, please stop pushing for Gaetz’s disqualification based on his past with prostitutes. Push instead for his disqualification because he presents a unique menace to Americans who criticize the president.
