Home-school valedictorian. I try to respond to every serious reply. The account is not "monetized." Re: blue check: didn't choose it but I've grown to like it.

@PGard0191 @RyanGirdusky Do you know what a school is or not?
NYc already has free day care for 3 year olds and it’s very popular. None of your paranoid fantasies apply
English
@AliceFromQueens @RyanGirdusky And do tell me how the people supervising the children will be vetted. Background Checks? Who will pay the insurance? Mamdani has no money. He is in dire financial straights and cannot begin to afford this. It's more communist pipe-dreams that you just LOVE
English
I cannot imagine the kind of person they would send to your house to watch your kid while you’re not there.
I am even more horrified by the type of parent who would sign up to have a person you don’t know that NYC bureaucrats vetted to watch your children in your house.

🚨 Zohran Mamdani launches pilot program offering parents free babysitting during a night out.

@matthew_loftus Vaccines save lives, though. We know this from studies. Just like self driving cars save lives
English
Following the money is actually really great for assessing risk heuristics. It's like how vaccines must work because greedy health insurance companies pressure people to get them.

Infuriating. Trial lawyers lobbying against self-driving cars because they are much too safe, and save too many lives, which is bad for business.

A hundred pompous MAGAs are yelling at me for telling them that "libs suck" isn't a theory of mind.
Alice@AliceFromQueens
@xwanyex You guys need to stop with "theory of mind." Absurdly pompous phrase for what you're referring to
English
@JohnOleske Depends on the numbers and total cost and secondary effects of uncapped litigation
English
@AliceFromQueens They’re lobbying against mandatory arbitration for people injured by self-driving cars.
Are you for mandatory arbitration clauses that prevent injured people from suing in real courts?

@ahall_research @MTSlive You were correct. I was rage baited. share.google/UxQIHglSszP0cV…

@FirstDerivative @Jesse_Leg 1/3 income for housing was long consoderdd standard and healthy financially. Many NYc renters pay 50% or more
English
@AliceFromQueens @Jesse_Leg Also I’m cracking up like the average rent is 4k a month so if you are making 250, while yes a very good salary would, post tax (let’s say appx 140) that’s a third of your rent for housing
English
You do have to feel for all those young, working class New Yorkers making $250k a year who still can’t afford the basic dignities of life: an Equinox membership, daily Sweetgreen, an Oura Ring, the occasional Hillstone Resy, a Taskrabbit housekeeper every now and then, a one-bedroom in a West Village doorman building with in-unit washer/dryer, or—God forbid—a Blade out to the Hamptons sharehouse once a summer.

@amish_hooligan @wil_da_beast630 More like: you know the person has scant knowledge of US history and most of those ppl are Republicans
English
@AliceFromQueens @wil_da_beast630 You know the person is Republican when they downplay Nixon's abuses of office.
English
After Biden, Clinton, and - yes - Trump, it really is pretty obvious that Nixon was just slow on his feet in the snake-pit, and got caught for a pretty minor dirty trick.
🇺🇸 The American Culturist 🇺🇸@MericaCulture
Richard Nixon was a patriot who was railroaded by the deep state.
English
@ciphergoth @Jesse_Leg Because it’s a silly question for a mayor. He’s not a New Left Review editor. His answer is irrelevant to policy
English
@AliceFromQueens @Jesse_Leg No, indeed he didn't. He evaded the question.
English
Don’t be squeamish!
Dems need brutally frank arguments over positions that cost them swing voters
But aren’t the two biggest issues here crime & immigration?
Most Dems already de facto quit defending affirmative action & are en route to the same wrt teenage trans athletes.
Zaid Jilani@ZaidJilani
What he’s arguing is in sync with the polling though. I think where he’s off is he’s assuming the progressive Democrats always adopt toxic social positions and the establishment doesn’t. It’s a mix really.
English
@mattyglesias Isnt the real inhibiting factor political risk of backing a divisive potential loser?
English
The asymmetry in the current factional battle is that Bernie & AOC are actually in Wisconsin supporting the candidate they prefer.
Tons of Dem electeds — almost certainly most of them — prefer Stevens, but nobody wants to put in the time or effort to do anything about it.
English
@AliceFromQueens Extremely impressive performance in that interview.
English
Can we please just have Bhaskar speak for the Left and make everyone else stfu?
Justin Giboney@JustinEGiboney
Is America the most racist country in the world today? I didn’t expect this answer from Democratic Socialist leader Bhaskar Sunkara.
English
@AliceFromQueens 6 years is not ancient, especially for a guy in his late 30s.
English
@jholbo1 @AliceFromQueens @mattyglesias Yep, Harris would be fine. Popular Midwestern governors would be better, but IMO not better enough to risk Biden staying in because advocating to spurn Harris pisses too many people off.
I think if it's Harris, that's a good outcome!
English
I take it @mattyglesias is joking a bit here?
I'm not.
Most Dems who think they'd care a lot about a Harris snub will discover after a few weeks that they only cared a little.
Most are smart enough to care more about the chances of beating Trump in MI, WI & PA.
English
@AliceFromQueens @mattyglesias I disagree, for more or less the reasons Yglesias gives. She had bad luck being a tough-on-crime prosecutor running in '20. She is the shadows as VP. She got the thankless border portfolio. She sounds pretty good in the clips these days. I doubt she spells doom.
English
This mean drunk is still mad at me for criticizing Kamala Harris. Every few months, he posts another inebriate dunk.
Some Dems will never forgive me for telling them they didn't have to nominate an obvious loser. Their racial neurosis convinced them they had no choice.
actually@CentristMadness
Also you’d have to leave the house
English
@AliceFromQueens I certainly don't. You're anonymous. I'm not.
I do think we should ban social media anonymity.
English
@CoreyLeander Mazel tov. But what you needed to read was law review articles. There isn't case law on it or that would be the first thing to read
English
@AliceFromQueens Novel reasoning from first principles? I dont know what this would mean here. I'm the one that brought it up! Lol.
I learned it...from Gordon Wood! Then I proceeded to buy like 40 law books and teach myself con law. Easiest thing I've ever learned.
English
@CoreyLeander Anyway your attempts at condescension on this subject tell me you have no idea who you're talking to
English
if I was confused on the time frame, I apologize, but my point is that you gave no indication that you recognized this wasn't a novel bit of information that required novel reasoning from first principles.
I learned it from...reading the Constitution. And later reading law review articles
