@PeteSikora1 @sam_d_1995 I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was a debate over drafting random citizens into service on the LIRR. That does seem harsh.

@sam_d_1995 The beauty of collective bargaining is that it forces management to have some regard for labor. If they don’t want to agree to a certain set of work rules or whatever, then they don’t have to!

@YIMBYLAND The Welsh language makes me irrationally angry. Those are not words.

I’m sorry, but “turdherder69” is a god-tier handle for the CEO of a water treatment operation.
The Welch have no sense of humor.
This man would be lauded as a hero in the United States lol.

@Romy_Holland @EigenGender Holding onto the money provides financial security even if I don't spend it. Better to let it grow, enjoy that security blanket and ultimately give away even more when I die.

@EigenGender i don’t understand what a majority of ppl are planning with $500mm+ like you could literally buy the nicest house you can imagine and take lavish vacations as often as you like and have a full time butler until you die and not even come close to blowing thru this

If you got a sudden and unexpected windfall of 1 billion dollars right now, what percent would you donate (over the next ~10 years) to charity (excluding gifts to friends and family etc)

@KelseyTuoc @Tcho76521726 Have you written anything about how you accomplished that?
I understand you would rather have something available for everyone, but advice for individual parents is probably more practical.
English
@Tcho76521726 my third grader took algebra this year and did great and was happy. I can afford to send her to a private program that offers this but I want kids whose parents aren't rich to get the same thing
English
This is an incredibly unstrategic fight to pick but every time I wade into a battle over whether to allow eighth graders to take algebra I just want to say "actually, a good school offers algebra in sixth grade and a great school offers it in third."

@LarrysTwin99 The psycho bodyguard from True Romance did a kids' sitcom? That's tough to picture.

@bendreyfuss How do they think the late 1990s was the height of geopolitical uncertainty?
That was the exact bottom of geopolitical uncertainty. Post-USSR, pre-9/11. The height of Fukuyama's end of history. The only thing they can point to is Y2K? Seriously?
English
I hate the gender swap remakes mostly but if you cast some combination of Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Yeoh, Angelina Jolie, Pam Grier Milla Jovovich, Uma Thurman, Geena Davis, and Lucy Liu with Linda Hamilton and Demi Moore as the villains, it would be pretty good.

An all-female ‘EXPENDABLES’ spin-off is in the works titled ‘EXPENDABELLES’. The film is set in the late 1990s during the height of Y2K-era tension and geopolitical uncertainty.

@Marjori99913509 @MaggieRudnicki @ThymeToBeBorn It says "97th percentile in math for 12th graders." It's very clearly a comparison to 12th graders, not other 11-year-olds. Not remotely ambiguous.
English
No, i didn’t miss that. He did better than 97% of 11yos. But it doesnt mean that he’s mastered high school level work. and it doesn’t mean he did better than 97% of 12th graders, it means he did better than 97% of 11 yos and equivalent to what a typical 12th grader taking that exact same test would have done.
i was that kid, and my daughter was that kid. My advice still stands - Robinson Curriculum since she has a bunch of littles and can’t give him the time. He needs a rigorous self-teaching curriculum.
English
My son, 11, just scored in the 97th percentile in math for 12th graders and maxed out the language arts portion. What do I do about this? I have a lot of little kids, can't focus on anything with him, live in the middle of nowhere, and can't leave the house.

@Noahpinion I think he'd prefer them screaming at Republicans

It's funny, because what Stancil and Roberts want is not to escape the island. They could do that any minute. They want the army of angry progressive chuds who are currently screaming at them to follow them back to X and scream at center-lefties like Matt Yglesias instead.

Are autonomous vehicles (self-driving cars) “less able to detect people of color”? That’s what I read in The Atlantic this weekend, in Xochitl Gonzalez’s “People Who Don’t Like People Are Making All of Our Decisions.” It appears to be entirely false.

@JeremiahDJohns More generally, every "these two ideological groups should stop fighting" means "the other side should give up and agree with me."

I do want to remind everyone that Christopher Nolan is responsible for the most rightwing major studio film of all the time, The Dark Knight Rises. So perhaps we should wait to see The Odyssey before all making up our minds about it.

@jessesingal There is no bagel in NYC that you could distinguish from Starbucks in a blind taste test.

Now that I'm thousands of miles away I can safely say something extremely controversial and brave: Boichik Bagels is fine. It's *fine*. It would not stand out in any NYC neighborhood. I'm not being elitist -- I regularly highlight pizza places elsewhere that *would*. But come on.
English
The right has their own version of cancel culture and political correctness. And here they are, trying to shut down a movie they haven’t even seen because a trans person is in it.
Nolan is not woke. “Dark Knight Rises” is basically about the evils of progressivism.
Let people make art. The American people always turn on the weirdos bringing politics into everything.
Robby Starbuck@robbystarbuck
If Elliot Page is playing Achilles, this will be the biggest bomb of Christopher Nolan’s career. It’ll be meme’d to death before it ever comes out. You can’t go from Brad Pitt as Achilles to a confused woman and expect an audience to take it seriously.
