These payments do not keep up with the current rate of inflation. Furthermore, increasing benefits ultimately impacts the solvency of the program. trump's idiotic economic policies and his unnecessary war created this problem. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Let's hear it for local resistance. And another timely reminder about why local elections matter so greatly!

I liked it especially much when they were trading "are you a lawyer" back and forth, and he tries to assert both being a doctor and being a representative as somehow relevant to his "rightness".

The best part was his parting hissy fit when he couldn't get the reporter immediately arrested, because he was 100% wrong about the law to begin with. "It's all her fault that I won't answer your questions!" I bet he's a joy to his family.

Exactly. His ignorance in service of his bullying are on full display. "Are you a lawyer? I'm a doctor! I'm a congressman!" Lol. Like those are both things that make him more expert on the law than journalists. What a tool.

Harris showing how loudly he can be completely wrong, and a total jerk. Here's hoping that this disastrous debate and its aftermath here sink his campaign like the Titanic.

Harris got laughed off stage when he tried to blame fuel prices on democrats, and then completely lost his mind with the press. Tries to assert two-party consent recording law against a reporter, and then (unsuccessfully) tries to have her arrested because he doesn't like her questions.

Honestly, good. People have been trying to explain global warming and then climate change to the public for decades, with little buy-in reflected at the polls, or even concensus among politicians. High time to just point out candidate's deficiencies and get them out of office.

He's also just such a dipshit. Going on about "don't mess with nature" as he destroys every bit of it he can bulldoze, and I don't think there's much "natural" about a captive tiger.

This is nauseating. It's not like it happened years ago, and I cannot get past the absolute horrifying cruelty and disrespect that the president is displaying to the poor man's family and loved ones. They are still grieving their loss and he's amplifying their trauma.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet
Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."
