The worst part of this tweet is the idea that humans have a "biological destiny. The history of humanity, at least post-Renaissance, is about refusing to be trapped by biology, both physically (inventing tools that radically mitigate biological problems and allow us to do things humans are not biologically capable of doing, like flying) and psychologically and socially. We have biological limits and constraints, both individually and as a species (most obviously, we all get old, get sick, and die), but within those constraints we are free to invent ourselves and our futures - which is the essential American impulse. Talk of biological destiny is just a way to confine people to a narrow way of life. If you want to have kids, you should - they're great. If you don't, you shouldn't. Become what you are, not what Katie Miller thinks you're supposed to be.

@JamesSurowiecki @clairlemon @asymmetricinfo lol yes it is. Maybe your kind stopped using it as much but those who remain literally believe Elon buying it saved our country from destruction and civil war. You can’t buy that kind of popularity. It’s the kind of popularity that flummoxed you about teslas stock price last week

@NoiseesoiN @redsteeze My wet dream (as a conservative) is that Texas can put the pieces together and build a high speed rail connecting Dallas, Austin, and Houston. I'd love nothing more than to rub it in California's face and further underscore how dysfunctional their state is. @SenTedCruz

@redsteeze Conservatives love trains. They just know the math doesn't work in most cases in the US, especially in California. For example, Brightline in Florida. Massively, insanely cheaper, with a solid business case. I've used it to go from Orlando to Miami, and it was great.

@JamesSurowiecki @heyitsnoah Meh. My answer is some mixture of ‘because they’re the best and they’re the only ones innovating’ and (basically) ‘because it makes the James Surowieckis of the world cry’.

@heyitsnoah "Better than other car companies" is not an argument for a stock trading at a 200 PE ratio.

The persistence of the cult of Tesla stockholders is odd. Over the past 5 years, Tesla is up 63%. The S&P 500 is also up 63%, but its total return is 71% with dividends. So Tesla has underperformed the market as a whole, with a lot more volatility. Why the unblinking faith?

@Cpt_TAKAHASHI @DUNBAR74 Taste of Texas in Houston is a restaurant that is all about the history of Texas. They have the doors of the Alamo on display. Best restaurant in the state if you ask me.

@terrakei07 Oh you think you can just post on X.com? Let me call your employer and get you fired. Also, I’m introducing a new tax on your posts. That is why we hate commiefornia.

@TheLaurenChen I was a waiter for a few years. It blew my mind that I got paid that well to greet a guest, bring them a drink, ask them what they wanted, tell the cooks, make sure drinks/condiments were provided, and take payment at the end. That’s all i did. Crazy payment for that.

Assuming these people were at the restaurant for 2 hours A $60 tip means this server made $30/hour off this ONE TABLE Is that not enough for a waiter to make? Does being a waiter really need to be a $150/hour job? The entitlement behind a lot of tipping culture is insane

@hajime20250823 Whataburger used to be the Mecca of burgers, but they got bought by MBA vests and quality plummeted. Gotta try in-n-out or a smash burger place. Wendy’s even better now.

テキサスのみんな、お待たせ。 テキサスのソウルフードWhataburgerに行きました。日本だと「ケチャップを下さい」と言わないと、ケチャップがもらえないけど、ここでは何も言わずにケチャップの掴み取りができました。ドリンクも飲み放題で、体がすくすくと横に大きくなる理由が分かりました。

@NathanJRobinson Hey Nathan, there are quite a few false claims in this piece, but two very easily correctable ones: I was fired in 2017, not 2018, and calling me The Silicon Valley War King is pretty dumb given that I hate Silicon Valley and live 400 miles away from it.

@pika_nekopanda @luvkit Are people generally worried about the birth rate? Because when I do the math your society collapses in a couple generations at this rate. Seems likes an existential threat

In 2023 Gavin Newsom did what he called a "Red State" tour and visited Alabama, Florida and a few other red states. Newsom's wife said she brought her children to the red states so they could learn about racism, sexism, and bullying first hand.
