The merger is bad but this is pretty dishonest framing regarding Kagan.

Why did we stop calling these guys weird? Old Samuel here has been weird - and weird in the specific way that thinks that if someone gets the same thing he gets, what he has becomes worthless - for 50 years.

It's pretty remarkable that the most famous guy in the world, the richest guy in the world and the most powerful guy in the world are all the exact same kind of pathetic loser

These guys are really hitting Rock Bottom and it must be Sweet Chin Music to your ears. I don’t think there will be much of an Attitude Adjustment from guys of that Pedigree, however.

I don’t think the story plays much differently if they didn’t falsely gild this particular lily.

Great that it turns out the whole story is basically the downmarket version of the “independent voter” who turns out to be the current chair of a young repubiicans group the next county over that reporters from certain outlets seem to constantly “fall” for.

I mean, couldn’t you say the same for literally every statistical technique invented? There’s no way to tech your way around motivated reasoning, poor feature selection or mistaking correlation for causation.

I was trying to figure out which coach you really hated so were comparing to the other homicide detective, who does have the “third time his program has been pn probation and just explained his way out of a DUI” college coach thing going.

I started watching “Furious” this weekend and given the news of the times, the level of rage underpinning the show feels almost restrained rather than played to an extreme to make a point.

I am just unable to understand the mindset that would make someone with VASTLY more room below than above in any sort of human sense to be so driven by “number go up”

my hot take is people should stop doing this dumb discourse that treats a piece of software as a living being you’re not god. it’s just a chatbot. you can turn it off and it’s not the holocaust

I agree with your sentiment but I’m also annoyed at how the article is framed, because it makes it sound like he’s getting 150m instead of ~16m if you weren’t totally up on him taking a much lower number in Philly.

I wonder if that rate is generally higher in college towns for no other reason than simple age demographics.

I don’t know what this ratio “should” be, but every answer I would suggest falls into the category of “way more than 0.6%”

In think treating elections as such is more defensible than treating the sequencing of votes being counted as meaningful. From a physics standpoint, a jumpshot is not stochastic either but from the standpoint of what we can observe, might as well be.

Stuff happening with Nakase recalls the heyday of NBA Twitter when someone would tweet “Rubio is such a fraud” and the Ricky hive would be agitated until they realized it was a tweet about politics.

The story doesn’t beat you over the head with it, but the brief description of the trucker’s life does shine a light onto how he got there as far as his voting choices.

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

This is harrowing, while also illustrating with a pretty light touch how the trucker became complicit in this.

Having played both at a D3 school, the biggest difference was the coach’s salary or lack thereof. Frankly, the club sport was a significantly bigger time commitment.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
