Surprise surprise a tunnel barely big enough to walk through standing up is cheaper to build than a double track, fully electric light rail tunnel 🤡

Enjoyed this video tour of the Las Vegas Loop. They’re building at $10M/mile. That’s 200x cheaper than Sound Transit. For the cost of Link Light Rail to Ballard, you could have a subway under literally every single street!

@ColinJSharpe @data_depot Business research is without a doubt, the strongest alignment of ‘those who can’t do, teach’

@data_depot Psychology is indeed more of a science than business.
Colin Sharpe@ColinJSharpe
Everyone’s looking at the poor education numbers but psychology over business is a truth nuke
English
A 7-year study of 3,900 social science papers found that only ~50% could be replicated.
There was significant variation across fields, however.
While more than 60% of political science & econ papers were replicated, only ~25% of sociology & 0% of education papers were.

@ZaidJilani But it will bring crime. All the data and facts on transit expansion support this conclusion.
English
Bro MARTA can’t expand because so many NIMBY Republicans are afraid of diversity they think will bring crime

The NIMBY-YIMBY debate is mostly an intra-Progressive fight. Rightwingers are mostly on board with letting you build whatever you want on your own property.

@JeffreyASachs Sure, but explain why the right number is not zero.

Anyone who has worked at a university will immediately be able to identify the problem with this factoid. The WGS profs at Penn State are *overwhelmingly* cross appointed to other departments. Only 4 (1 prof and 3 teaching profs) are solely appointed to WGS. That's not extreme.
Brandon Fuller@fuller_brandon
Penn State has 42,000 undergrads. Exactly 10 graduated in women's, gender & sexuality studies (WGSS) in 2023–24. The department lists 28 professors. The "studies" department racket is real: every department combined—area, cultural, gender, black, Asian, Native American, Hispanic, ethnic—accounts for just 0.3% of all four-year graduates in the United States. How do departments with 10 majors justify 28 faculty? As @firstthingsmag's @mark_bauerlein points out in @WSJopinion, they do so by colonizing general education. If "Introduction to Queer Theory," "Fashion, Gender, and Identity," and a bevy of other WGSS courses didn't check the gen-ed box, enrollments would vanish. And so would the faculty lines in the department. Public universities are public institutions, answerable to public oversight. Legislatures and trustees should do more to exercise it: reset gen-ed policy by streamlining it back to essentials. wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

@STAYselling_JJ @Mericamemed Napoleon would never drive a Corvette. He’d be way too short.

@tenderbrew @micsolana I think something that is not especially conducive to stopping it is the wolf-cry of "this is ending property rights!!1," relative to "this is a bad idea that is bad and makes things worse," which I think is often a more compelling argument.

for anyone in tech with money: the annual percentage they want to take from you each year via asset seizure is what you should be plowing into super pacs, NGOs, and media influencers right now to beat back marxism. the hour's late, and nobody else is coming to save you.
English
@STAYselling_JJ @Mericamemed Well, this is provably false, but I can appreciate that it’s fun to make up stories
English
@Mericamemed I’m not super tall just a pretty average 6’2”. I tried getting in a corvette ONCE. No way. Average corvette owner has to be 5’6” or shorter. Explains many things.

@ChicagoNFT1 @HarriedFord8647 @nickshirleyy Maybe @nickshirleyy can focus on the billions in restitution not being paid then. But he would rather harass normal Americans since that’s what he is paid to do.

This is how the NYC Adult Daycare scam works:
- Daycare is funded by Medicaid
- The more patients=more money
- Patients receive kickbacks for attending daycare and bringing friends (referral program)
- Our taxes pay for elderly Koreans to play ping pong & tai chi
END IT ALL
Nick shirley@nickshirleyy
🚨 Here is the full 53 minutes of my crew and I exposing New York fraud, we uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters use the elderly and needy to commit fraud through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll. Like it and share this video, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for fraudsters to steal from our pockets. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. Time is up. EXPOSE IT ALL AND END THE FRAUD.

@BobbyBriggzzz @_celia_bedelia_ Why do republicans not talk about trumps or white ppls fraud. They talk when they see a different color doing it?

@HarriedFord8647 @nickshirleyy OK. These people should be in jail as well. All fraud is bad.
English
@nickshirleyy How this scam works:
- fraudster steals money
- fraudster is convicted of fraud
-fraudster gives trump a bunch of money
- trump pardons fraudsters AND fraudster gets to keep the money stolen in step 1
Any questions?

@Devon_Eriksen_ @StephenFleming What world are you talking about? Explain what you mean. The world is better than it’s ever been. I have a 14 and. 17 yo in a major city. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Older one was super eager to drive. Younger one just as interested.
English
@StephenFleming It saddens me to realize how little you understand the world that kids live in today.
It makes me doubly sad because it's impossible to explain this without many, many people of your generation having an absolute meltdown in the comments.

Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story.
What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew.
Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?

@JamesSurowiecki While I tend to agree. I also cannot rationalize the Achilles casting choice other than politics.

The replies to this are nutty - and sad. Hordes of people who would have loved an epic Nolan film based on one of the founding works of Western literature denying themselves the pleasure of seeing it because they can't stand to see a black woman cast as Helen of Troy.

The first reactions for #TheOdyssey are mostly raves, with members of the film press praising Christopher Nolan's "spectacular epic" and hailing it as a "crowning cinematic achievement from one of the great filmmakers of our time.” variety.com/2026/film/news…
