@Fireball44 I wouldn't put too much stock into this. They have Ohio State in this list too... 😂

I tend not to weigh in a lot on Israel because I'm no expert, but I do remember back before 2010 when Israel would have to bomb a whole ass building - school, hospital, whatever - because Hamas would co-opt a floor and launch missiles from it. Iron Dome Israel is much more chill
Dan Shapiro@DanielBShapiro
This rational makes no sense. When Israel had no Iron Dome, terrorist rockets just crashed into Israeli towns. Israel had to respond. From the advent of Iron Dome in 2011 until October 7, Israel absorbed many rocket attacks and responded more moderately - because of Iron Dome.

David Weigel@daveweigel
The rationale, explained to me by a Dem who wants to stop funding Iron Dome: The defense system makes Israel more aggressive, confident that it can launch operations without much damage to its own cities. (Most Dems are still at "no offensive weapons, missile shield okay.")

@robertmays @davehelman_ @dpbrugler @BrandonThornNFL Massive dude chugs the two beers he's holding at a midwest hockey game because he showed up on the big screen - Rookie lineman, 10 year vet lineman, 45 year old dad of 3? Who can tell the difference?

@davehelman_ @dpbrugler @BrandonThornNFL OL are all spiritually 34 years old, so it eases the blow a tiny bit.

One minute, you’re enjoying the hell out of our OL draft episode with @robertmays, @dpbrugler & @BrandonThornNFL. The next minute, you hear “grew up modeling his game after Quenton Nelson” and your day is ruined.

A major flaw in the “Bullshit Jobs” thesis is confusing “adversarial” with “unnecessary.” Many adversarial roles appear zero- or even negative-sum at the micro level, but are positive-sum at the macro level. Litigation, compliance, auditing, and other apparently zero-sum activities often provide the enforcement, information, and deterrence that make rule-of-law and market institutions possible.
A breach-of-contract suit is usually negative-sum for the parties in that one case. But a world in which contracts cannot be credibly enforced is far worse. The same is true of many forms of institutional friction: they look like deadweight if you isolate the transaction, but they are part of the scaffolding that lets the larger system function.
Adversarial systems generate information, constrain discretion, and reduce corruption in ways that are easy to miss if you look only at the immediate transaction. Central planning rested in part on the assumption that many such adversarial processes were wasteful and could be replaced by administrative decision-making. That proved disastrous: you lose the information generated by decentralized contestation and create enormous room for corruption by the people making the decisions.
Graeber’s mistake was often Chesterton’s Fence: seeing a role whose purpose was not immediately obvious to him and inferring that it therefore had no purpose. Maybe some jobs really are padded or performative, but many others exist because they form the scaffolding that keeps the systems running.
Nimbus@nimbusgo
@MattZeitlin His typical claim is that the jobs FIRE industries (finance, insurance, real estate) are massively redundant and most wouldn't need to exist if the overall system were setup to serve human needs with the minimum effort. This is because much of the work is adversarial

Mike Lee’s personal/political Twitter account alone is disqualifying.
It’s a disaster of misinformation and a reflection of his intellect.
Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, says President Trump should nominate either Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) or Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) if Justice Alito retires from SCOTUS.

In a brilliant move during closing arguments, Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran put on the knit cap prosecutors say O.J. wore the night he committed the murders.
Although O.J. may have hurt his case when he suddenly blurted out, "Hey hey, easy with that. That's my lucky stabbin' hat!"

@dotsonc Sustainability in the MLB is not just a pipeline of young cheap talent, but the ability to take undeveloped young talent and turn it into immediate success. And if that means trading them for big league talent, so be it. Not every bet you make is going to yield massive results

I certainly haven’t given up on any of these guys, but…
You can’t be successful by just trying to develop young players. You have to trade some of them for big league talent.

@dotsonc After the 2023 season, the Reds decided not to add veterans, but to build around Elly, McLain, CES, Steer with Marte and Edwin Arroyo close behind. Since 2024. McLain: -.2 WAR CES: -1.6 WAR Steer: 1.7 WAR Marte: -.7 WAR Arroyo: Missed 2024 with injury, currently in AAA

America is a historical outlier in a lot of ways - it's founding, its culture, its government, etc. The cultural hegemony it created post WW2 is perhaps one of the most insane outliers which produced some weird attachments to things that just don't work (labor unions for example)
Derek Thompson@DKThomp
It’s interesting how many aspects of modern political commentary hold up the 1945-1971 postwar period as the natural state of things that was broken by our weird new modernity, when instead maybe it’s more accurate to see this period as profoundly unusual. I think about this with media commentary all the time: “Why can’t we get back to Walter Cronkite, shared sense of reality, etc” A brief and strange information oligopoly created a scarce number of radio/TV stations, which enforced a news monoculture on radio/TV audiences. Whether that was altogether good or bad, it was extremely weird! Look at the 19th century. A zillion newspapers, many of them insane and terrible and partisan. The chaos is what’s normal.

@reillyt7 @EsotericCD I imagine it more like an Eric Garland thread, starting off with "It's time for some religious game theory" and concluding with "Your religion can burn. You tiny souls. You malignant professionals. How dare you treat anyone this way. You'll hear from me. God damn you"

"Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy" -
Martin Luther, December 1520
Reverend Jordan Wells@WellsJorda89710
🚨 Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican. The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend. He was personally invited to join President Trump’s “Board of Peace” — and he refused. Yet he’s been noticeably silent on the real wickedness and aggression driving the ongoing Ukraine war. Why no strong, direct call-out of Putin? Fear? Politics? Selective outrage? Whatever the reason, it reveals a troubling pattern: quick criticism of this American administration, but a pass for evils elsewhere in Europe. I respect true Christian leadership. What I can’t respect is liberal activism dressed up as moral authority. Catholics and Protestants alike deserve better from the Chair of Peter. This isn’t about hating the Pope — it’s about expecting the Vicar of Christ to stand for peace and truth without political favoritism. What do you think? Has the papacy become too political?
