Memo for all H1-Bs posting on LinkedIn about losing their job, having only 4 months to find another one, and having already bought a house in the USA: the H1-B is a *non-immigrant* visa, and your excessive optimism is 100% on you.

Did you see @KenPaxtonTX doesn’t want you to vote in the runoff? 75% of registered voters did not vote in either the Democratic or the Republican primary. Another difference between us: I want as many Texans as possible to vote. Why would you delegate your right vote to a small fraction of registered voters that may not reflect your values? Vote!

@AlexanderOrlov8 Bluegrass gospel is very much a thing. My soon to be MIL is a churchgoer, but Catholic and I don't want to be drunk at 10am on a Sunday.

James Talarico on abortion: “I trust Texas women to make decisions about their own bodies, to shape their own destinies. I don’t believe that’s a place for government. That’s a belief I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith. Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion”

@Gormogons @alexthechick This is really difficult, let's admit. Often, the (fully acknowledged) experts in the field are sympathetic to admission, and they certainly can't adequately screen the volume of applicants received. India relies on a DoS attack, in essence

@onemanbamafan @histories_arch Crown of thorns - he had likely been scourged (look it up, the Mel Gibson movie *under-sells* the horror) so a certain amount of sadness would not be out of place

@histories_arch Why does everyone make Jesus look so bad in their art? He was the only perfect man from birth to death and everyone makes him look sickly.

Claude Mellan's Face of Christ, also known as The Sudarium of Saint Veronica (1649), is one of the most technically extraordinary works in art history... The entire portrait is rendered using a single, continuous spiralling line that begins at the tip of Christ's nose and expands outward to the edges of the cloth. Mellan achieved the illusion of depth, shadow, and facial features without any cross-hatching or traditional shading. Instead, he precisely varied the thickness and pressure of the burin (his engraving tool) as he rotated the copper plate, creating "swelling" lines that darken the image where needed. The spiralling line is estimated to be approximately 150m (about 500ft) long if it were stretched out.

@gabriel_zucman Yes, because income tax is - stay with me here - levied on income. If they buy items with that money, they will pay sales / stamp / use tax . And it's their money - why would you have any right to it?

One might think that such enormous wealth translates into sizable tax payments. It does not. California billionaires pay just 0.2% of their wealth in California income tax (a mere 2.4% of total California income tax revenue) on average over 2023-2025.

New research: we have studied the wealth of the 200 Californian billionaires and what they effectively pay in tax. From Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) to Sergei Brin and Larry Page (Alphabet), the results are edifying. 🧵 nytimes.com/interactive/20…
