Bill Maher asks how Mississippi is kicking California’s ass in education, and Texas is “blowing them away” in green energy for “way less money.” “Did you know that a black fourth grader in Mississippi is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in math and reading as one in California? Mississippi is kicking our ass in education and for way less money. We’re 37th in fourth-grade reading, they’re ninth.” “Texas is kicking our ass in green energy. The average time to get solar panels connected there is three to four months. About 1,000 days faster than it took me. Remember when I was trying to get my solar hooked up? It would have been quicker to build a windmill.” “Texas has passed California in solar and blows away California when it comes to wind and energy storage. How does a state with no pro-climate policies produce better climate results than a state where here, even though we have so much better bumper stickers on our Priuses?” “I’ll tell you why. Because you’re allowed to build there because every third person in Texas isn’t someone whose job it is to make sure nothing gets done.” “Democrats, these are your issues: education, race, the environment.” “And I say this with love: you’re losing to the Waffle House, car-on-the-lawn states.”

@JasonFebery @VigilantFox Your right , Kkkalifornians are way smarter ...they should stay there and keep getting smarter. With more time, you will be able to burn the whole state down and not just a few thousand acres. This would make sure everyone is homeless .

@hhekas1 @VigilantFox It’s a lie because it implies improvement where there is none. Students aren’t getting better at reading by 4th grade; they’re just only testing those who’ve proven to be good at reading the previous year (and held back those who failed).

@VigilantFox It would also be good to see how the reading levels of students held back a year fare — i.e. do they catch up? This would be a compelling case for holding them back. Unfortunately, the data doesn’t show this.

@VigilantFox Essentially, they are only testing those who proved the previous year to be good readers. A better measure would be to test all students at a given age, to prevent ‘hiding’ the bad readers from the numbers by keeping them in a lower grade level.

This woman saved Star Wars. Without her there would be no Star Wars. She went in and re-cut the trench run scene so it actually made sense after Lucas showed it to a bunch of people and they laughed at it. Seriously a legend. May the force be with you. Thank you.

Connie Chan, who is economically illiterate, is running for Congress. Don't let her win. Vote for Scott Wiener instead.

"At the moment, the United States is negotiating with a regime that President Trump claimed we had already changed, to open a strait that was supposed to be open last month, and to end a nuclear program that we said we had obliterated." So no, things are not going well: nytimes.com/2026/05/28/opi…
