We don’t need a World Cup song, it’s already been made

@Tomko_1 @TerribleMaps Can confirm. From over here in Wisconsin, it’s clearly Czechoslovakia!

@TerribleMaps It’s Czechoslovakia!

99% of Americans can’t name this country

@TotalSoccerShow “What’s the frequency, Kennith?” It’s not originally a song at all. It was a reference to a street attack on newsman Dan Rather. #OldManTrivia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Rathe…

@TerribleMaps Anybody spotted any camels in Iowa? No. No you haven’t.

All Evidence Points to Pigs and Camels Being Mutually Exclusive

An experiment to determine advantage could be to release an identical podcast under a different name with a regular, functional intro - you know, like a human would do it. Whichever draws more listeners has an adaptive advantage!

Is it a mating performance à la Michael Cera or Hugh Grant stumbling and bumbling to convey “you’re safe with me?”

@EPthepod Is it possible there’s an adaptive advantage to being noticeably worse than the entire internet at introducing a podcast? It’s a seemingly simple act; so simple it’s hard to believe the hosts are incapable of doing it well.

@EPthepod @DavePietrasz Talking about free will while figuratively poking the brain to manipulate behavior, I thought about manipulation of behavior pharmacologically, eg, libido under androgen deprivation for prostate cancer patients, hunger for GLP-1 users, etc. Huge populations for study.

Think there's nothing new under the sun about the problem of free will? This week, @DavePietrasz talks about free will from an evolutionary, adaptationist perspective. youtu.be/N2mAms9StaA podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/evo… podbean.com/eas/pb-336yu-1…

@HeckSpawn @ThrillaRilla369 This thread renews my faith in humanity. You’ve done a great service to us all; take the rest of the day off.

@ThrillaRilla369 I pull them out so as to keep the weight of the carton balanced.

My girlfriend got on to me the other day because she doesn’t understand why I can’t just pick eggs out of the carton like a “normal” person. She’s standing there watching me and says, “Why can’t you just go row by row like everyone else?” I said, “Because no egg should ever know when its time is coming.” She stared at me for a second, shook her head, and said, “You’re a psycho,” then walked off. Little does she know…I’ve got a whole tournament system going on. I take two eggs, tap them together, and whichever one doesn’t crack moves on to the next round. Only the strongest survive. 🥚 💪 😂

@jdunworthmusic I just noticed the prancing pony ref. Said to my wife, do you think anyone’s mentioned it on Twitter? Thanks for being there for me.

Why is this ref for the Auburn vs Michigan State game high stepping?

@StevenHill1776 @Sightline I don’t understand reference to unified primaries without RCV. How many winners emerge from unified primary? If only two, then vote splitting in primary is huge problem. If more than two, then RCV in general election is needed to avoid winner far short of majority.

Why did electoral reform struggle in the Nov 2024 elections? @Sightline's Alan Durning dispenses some helpful advice to election reformers after the disastrous 2024 campaigns for Ranked Choice Voting and open primaries. Now on #DemocracySOS democracysos.substack.com/p/lessons-from…

@Super70sSports AMC Gremlin. Jealous? Thought so!

Let’s discuss some very important shit. What kind of car did you learn how to drive in? I’ll go first: 1983 Buick Regal.

@ModeledBehavior Minot, ND, the Magic City. “In the 1800’s Minot was a railroad town, it didn’t happen over night but its population grew to 5,000 people in just five months kind of like Magic”. kxnet.com Why not Minot?

I was intrigued by the “studying magic” part so I read the report and did the most cursory googling and $6m of that is for a place called “magic city discovery center”, which is a STEM focused learning center for kids in North Dakota. Just magic in the name, no actual magic.

@GerhardKalinka @gunsnrosesgirl3 Yes. Planet of the Apes. I could easily concede if someone argued some other twist was “better.” But I refer to this one in conversation or joking around more than any other movie twist. “Damn you all to hell!”

@Rob_Richie Do you agree with the line, “The maneuvering is particularly common in all-party primaries in Alaska and California…” Counterintuitive to me.

Not having ranked choice voting opens the door to these appallingly cynical tactics to elevate minor candidates that Democrats this cycle took to a whole new level. politico.com/news/2024/12/0…

@krassenstein This is the power of Final Four Voting to improve government performance. Murkowski cannot be beaten in a low turnout primary, the top four advance from the primary in Alaska. This gives her the courage to make tough decisions our country needs.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski just made a bold move, declaring she won’t support any of President Trump’s nominees unless they undergo full FBI vetting. This marks a significant development and could have major implications for the administration’s agenda.

@JonHaidt @LetGrowOrg I like that a lot. A little like when I was leader on a scout canoe trip. I’d stand 50 yards away fishing while the boys set up camp. The distance reduced any urge I had to interfere while that day’s crew leader did his best to lead the boys.

Here's an easy way to give your kids a more play-based childhood. Just designate a time each week for free play at a local playground or park, and ONE parent each week is there, at a distance, not supervising. Collective action! @LetGrowOrg businessinsider.com/mom-rotates-wi…

@TerribleMaps 👆The difference between Terrible and Amazing illustrated for your viewing pleasure.

To be fair, you could drive for 149 hours across Vatican City if you drive slow enough
