@wil_da_beast630 Nobody talks like your quotes for one thing. Domestic labor is undervalued or diminished and this impacts those who tend to "do that work MOST." And while sharing income with your family may seem like a burden, it tends to esult in respect not given to domestic labor.

Yesterday, for the first time since college, I ran into the argument that being the solo breadwinner in a marriage is actually NOT a sacrifice or a major contribution to the relationship - because "you would have had a job anyway." The fact that (I) am now......transferring 70% or whatever of the profits FROM my job to other people is simply "adding to our shared money," and does not count. In contrast, any woman (or man?) cooking 40% more after marrying and getting to stay home is experiencing "enhanced domestic labor" and is oppressed. I mention this because it may be the archetypal left-wing argument: "I am going to play a silly word game, where what I do counts as good and what you do does not - and then tell you that you are bad and should gibs me more things."

One of the most persistent false beliefs in American culture is that the Floyd/BLM riots were incredibly peaceful, causing little damage to life and property. In fact, the Floyd/BLM riots were the most destructive riots in American history, leading insurance agencies to designate them as a "catastrophe event." (See first chart below showing that misinformation about the Floyd/BLM riots is positively correlated with trust in journalists.) (See second chart below showing that misinformation about the Floyd/BLM riots is associated with left-leaning political beleifs.)

Sunny Hostin: “There was very limited destruction of property and violence during the BLM uprising.”

@C2Cbsbl You can look up his home runs and you would see this is not true. They said the same thing about Belt and I checked an most of his home runs were within a 2 run margin.

Notice the sleight of hand. First it’s “the rich don’t pay most taxes.” Then when shown top earners already do, the argument shifts to “wealth isn’t income.” Exactly. Which means the debate was never really about income. It was about whether the state is entitled to seize accumulated property itself. Owning stock, businesses, or assets is not the same as receiving cash income. But many people no longer treat property as genuinely private. They treat it as public wealth temporarily held by individuals until politicians decide otherwise.
Ed Elson@edels0n

“The top 1% pay 40% of the taxes” — the statement so misleading, it might as well be false. @raymadoff explains.

It's hard to exaggerate how stupid the concerns over AI data centers using water are. It's like being against building computer chips because people in corporate tech offices might use parking spaces. The value of what's being built versus the cost of the resource concern is so out of proportion that no serious person can talk like this. The anti-data center movement is the new Epstein files. It gathers all the stupidest people from across the political spectrum.

@wil_da_beast630 Sounds like you're endorsing violence in a very sick way. People are free to have opinions and endorse ideas, even if they don't fit into your "tough guy" capitalism.

"Progressivism" is one big lie after another. FDR was a disaster. There is nothing great about the "Great Depression." He didn't fix anything. All he did was grow government. LBJ was just as bad. He was not only a racist, but his "War on Poverty" only ensured generational poverty. Another abysmal president whose claim to fame is expanding government power. And Obama presided over one of the worst economies in recent history. He was also one of the most racially divisive presidents. "Social science" isn't about science, it's about socialism.
Carl@HistoryBoomer

Obama is ranked #7 by the American Political Science Association and the Presidential History Network. That's pretty good! I liked Obama, but I don't think he belongs above Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, FDR, or Teddy R.

@BaseballJeff1 It's the 3 guys the team is paying the most. This isn't Ramos or even Bader. 2 are listed in top 10 worst contracts and pretty sure Chapman will be there soon if he keeps popping up and grounding out in the 60% of the time he's not striking out.

The pitching staff has not been a strength but it has to be damn near perfect with no run support. That has not been the case, but the bigger issue has been the offense. They have scored 2 or fewer runs in 45% of the games so far. That’s will not cut it.

Is this good?

@BaseballJeff1 Seems like you could drill down in terms of outs/which base(s) to calculate expected runs and compare to actual. If a reliever comes with runner on 1st and 2 outs, that runner should not score (maybe .1 runs).

The Giants' bullpen has allowed 18 of 66 inherited runners to score. That 27% rate is actually the 8th-best rate among MLB bullpens. I only share this because it feels higher than that, but they have been pretty effective at limiting the damage once they take over...

@BaseballJeff1 The Giants would still be in the same spot as they are now with Farhan. They’d just have Lamonte Wade, Nick Ahmed, and Tyler Fitzgerald instead

I wonder if Farhan Zaidi is looking at the Matt Chapman extension now and is like, "Hey, you read the reports. That was not me. That was the other guy."

@YourGovtLied @GiantHotTakes They won two championships after trading Wheeler. Yes Beltran was a disappointment, but there was nothing wrong with the Giants organization in 2011.

@BaseballJeff1 But he gets the last laugh with the key double off Roup. Remember when Roup was going to be an All-Star and now he can't get through the 6th inning (ever).

As a University of Chicago graduate, I find this morally objectionable. The university is effectively giving taxpayer money to young people from rich families who will go on to become, on average, far richer than taxpayers who helped pay for this benefit.
Pop Crave@PopCrave

The University of Chicago will guarantee free tuition for students with family incomes below $250,000 starting in Fall 2027. Students with family incomes below $125,000 will also receive free housing and meals.

Read the Krugman essay on Europe/US gDP I was surprised see that our literacy rates are far below Europe's. What could explain that? So I started following links and found the root source, which says we have a 99% literacy rate: worldatlas.com/society/countr…

@BenKaspick Just don't put him in RF again. Giants probably still lose that game so lesson was learned without cost.

Projection systems (and my eyeballs) like Jesús Rodríguez quite a bit. And Daniel Susac (19th overall pick in 2022) has looked very much like a big leaguer in his brief time in the majors. There's risk, but SF needs to improve and this was one area where they could make a move.
Mike Petriello@mike_petriello

I think this is another SF deal I don't like for either side? I don't like it for SF: No, Bailey wasn't hitting, but hoooo boy that catching depth is scary thin I don't like it for CLE: You gave up a (late) first rounder for Austin Hedges when you have Austin Hedges at home?

I’ve listened. I’ve reflected. I’ve grown. After losing 6,000 followers for buying a Cybertruck, I realized I needed a vehicle that better aligns with my followers’ environmental expectations and moral values. So I traded it in for a beauty that gets 7 MPG and personally accelerates glacier melt every time I tap the gas pedal. The good news is it has absolutely no connection to Elon Musk. Looking forward to earning back your trust, and hopefully those 6,000 refollows.

I might get hate for this too but I bought a Cybertruck. With a young family, safety was important and so is not polluting the atmosphere with $5 a gallon gasoline.
