The Cyclone Cardinal🌪️

Brock is excited about ISU’s hot start just like all of us

@jessi_camembert @Koookiiing lol

@Koookiiing i’m begging you to read marx

Is the argument here than when the cashier scans a $45 bag of dogfood, he has personally made the company $45?

@JWcyclonestv @CycloneATH Really like that sweat t shirt

Kyle Konrardy is in Dubuque today, and AGAIN he brought the trophy with him!

@whothehellsjack holy low iq

No I work in retail where I can quite literally see how much money I’m making the company. I’ll do anywhere between $600 and $2000 in a 5hr shift while only making $71. It’s more radicalizing to see the dramatic extent at which your surplus labor is being extracted

@WillsWiserSistr hopital

IM BLEEDING OUT OF MY SKIN?!?! THERES NOT CUT??? AND IT DOEST HURT???? BUT ITS BLEEDING A LOT?!?!?!?!

@CycloneState007 No one has forgotten Assally. He is eternal.

Iowa State forgotten player of the day: Connor Assally, a 4-year player under Matt Campbell who handled the main kicking duties from 2019-2021. Assally finished his career 48-65 (73%) with a long of 50 yards. He's most famously known for his game winning field goal against the Texas Longhorns in 2019.

RAAAAAA 🗣️

Mad Men

Imagine being afraid of some buildings with computers in it

@JoyceVondr16430 @travisclones Wish that were the case

@CycloneCardinal @travisclones My deal is trains are viable in most places and the only thing standing in between it getting done is political willpower

Since there’s been a lot of Ames talk lately… if there was one thing you could add to Ames to make it better, what would it be?

@JoyceVondr16430 @travisclones What’s your deal? Capital expenditure/investment is absolutely an appropriate term to describe the costs for government to build out rail infrastructure. If we want to live in fantasy land where money is fake and we can snap that infra into existence, then yeah, totally feasible

@CycloneCardinal @travisclones Capital? What private company did you imagine building a BRT bus line all by themselves? There’s plenty of density for public taxpayer investment.

@travisclones CA is studying a “bullet bus” concept of 140mph buses (in dedicated lanes obv) to connect its cities. Imagine that between Ames/Ankeny/Des Moines/DSM Airport. It’d “shrink” the space between Ames and the largest metro in the state. Doing so would be huge for the university.

This

@JoyceVondr16430 @travisclones Because it’s an order of magnitude cheaper and actually realistic? There’s not enough density today to justify that kind of capital expenditure

@CycloneCardinal @travisclones 😂 bus rapid transit????? Why not a train???? Lmaooo

@ZelenskyyUa “long-range sanctions” I love it

Our long-range sanctions this week. Most of the operations are still ongoing, so the video captures only a portion of our results. Be-200 amphibious aircraft, a Ka-27 helicopter, a cargo vessel carrying ammunition, a Pantsir-S1 surface‑to‑air missile and gun system, a Tor surface-to-air missile system, a Redut-2US communications unit, drones, and many other targets have been hit. Our long-range sanctions also struck Russian oil industry facilities and ships. Distances traversed: nearly 1,000 kilometers from the line of contact. These are our entirely justified responses to what the Russians are doing. We will continue to increase both the range and scale of these sanctions. I thank everyone working to build up our strength. I thank the warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and our intelligence agencies for their precision.

@pro_democracy24 @sam_d_1995 I literally just said I’m trending more conservative these days and then you call me a leftist? You’re just a fucking retard. Got it.

@CycloneCardinal @sam_d_1995 u dont know what science is if it hit u in the head. U leftists r great at saying big words though, of course not actually having a clue what they mean. This is u and ur ilk below

@neoliberal_hack @PeteSikora1 @sam_d_1995 Shhhhhh they don’t think than granular. It’s blanket assessments only

@PeteSikora1 @sam_d_1995 Seems stupid to side with unions blindly without even knowing what their demands are. What if their demands are completely unreasonable?

Scratch an abundo urbanism lover, find an anti-union libertarian who is fascinated by bikes and trains.

@pro_democracy24 @sam_d_1995 Yep you’re the problem, dude. Take a look in the mirror.

@CycloneCardinal @sam_d_1995 Go vote with the retards who think men can get pregnant, and were dumb enough to wear a face diaper for years/ took the covid jab, they deff know science

@ExistentialEnso based

My unwokest belief is that the dynamics of supply & demand are real and that no amount of wishcasting for a socialist utopia will change the economic realities created by restricted supply

It’s more equitable than any solution the left has ever devised… as well as more efficient. Fin.

In the Netherlands, this is exactly how it works... and they have much better test scores than the United States and do so at a lower cost per student per year.

I was very anti schools vouchers... until I dug deeper into the issues. School district funding is heavily tethered to property taxes… so the schools in wealthier neighborhoods naturally will have more resources than those in poorer neighborhoods.
