@PeterSchiff "Lavrov always wears a suit. Therefore he respects the the United States more than Zelensky does." Ridiculous implications are sometimes the best way to identify faulty logical premises.

I understand times are hard, but doesn't the President of the #Ukraine own a suit? I don't have much respect for current members of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn't address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn't want to disrespect the institution or the Unites States.

@DanielRensch Way more wheels. Cars are a push, but bicycles/carts common not to mention machinery and furniture. Every room in your house contains more wheels than doors. Just think about file cabinets, watches/clocks, chairs, motors...

Twitterverse, I need help: Are there more doors or wheels in the world?

@chesscom @KalleKriinen1 @chessqueen After 1. Qe5+ Rg7, 2. Rxh7+ Kg8 3. Rd8+ mates, too. (Somehow Rd8+ doesn't look as flashy when the moves are transposed.) I wonder how many would intend 3. Qxc7 Rxc7 4. Rxc7 with a decisive material advantage and see the mate in two only later!

@KalleKriinen1 @chessqueen Another BRILLIANT move!

♕ Our next contender for Move of the Year: 23.Qe5+!! played by @chessqueen! If Black's queen takes e5, 24.Rxh7 wins the game! 🤩

@vanishingcorp The best case studies are ones where students don't know whether the company wins or loses. Everyone's hesitant to critique Apple or Tesla's choices but eager to pile onto Blockbuster.

@Confessant I suggest requesting co-authorship, rather than demanding (ex post) that the wording be changed. The journal should back you up.

Just got plagiarized by a very prominent scholar. Feeling great that my words got through both his and his journal’s editorial process 100% intact! 😎

This is so strange. Why hide VP's identity when everyone else in the story is named? @SamAugustDean

@Oatmeal I'm around 1200, but the game goes too fast for my fingers at that point!

What’s your high score in arcade mode for Kitty Letter? Anyone beat this?

@ASlavitt @inthebubblepod Standard vaccination timeline has shots 21 days apart but studies show that a longer between-dose time (8 weeks ideal) increases antibody response. Is it a good idea to wait longer after the first shot, either as a policy by providers or individuals delaying dose 2 themselves?

I am interviewing the CEO of Pfizer for an @inthebubblepod episode over the weekend. What questions do you want answered that will help people? Serious answers most helpful. (I expect Twitter answers as well)

@idontwa86202030 @Public_Citizen Pfizer's press release from May 4 spells it out explicitly: "Now Anticipates Revenues of Approximately $26 Billion for BNT162b2, Reflecting 1.6 Billion Doses Expected to be Delivered in 2021 Under Signed Contracts as of Mid-April 2021." investors.pfizer.com/.../PFIZER.../…

@Public_Citizen generating trillions in value should get you billions in profit, yes. these vaccines are sold *far* below market clearing price. reducing prices even further would do nothing to improve access, but hurt us in the future

@agadmator Congratulations! Enjoy her years as a pawn; she'll be a queen in no time!

@FIDE_chess After 1. g6 hxg6 2. h7 Bf6 3. Bb8!!, the threat of c7 (queening the c-pawn by force) forces 3. Rxb8, following which Kxf6 wins by promoting the h-pawn next move.

@OrbanJuche @SusanPolgar @FIDE_chess @EuropeEchecs @ECUonline @tatasteelchess @WOMChess After 1. Nxh6+ gxh6 2. Qxh6 Ra7 3. Re5 Be8 4. Rg5+ Qxg5 5. Qxg5+, it still requires a *lot* of technique!

World-class tactic! White to move! How should white proceed? [Carlsen, Magnus (NOR) - Firouzja, Alireza (FIDE)] @FIDE_chess @EuropeEchecs @ECUonline @tatasteelchess @WOMChess

@SusanPolgar @FIDE_chess @EuropeEchecs @ECUonline @tatasteelchess @WOMChess Give GM Polgar some credit, please. If you think this looks easy (1. Nxh6+ gxh6 2. Qxh6) you're missing Black's defense 2. ... Ra7! after which there is no quick mate. Look deeper!

@emollick Q

@RideCATA East Lansing Intermodal Station is not open, despite signs saying opening 7am. 50+ passengers in vestibule!

@chesscom Also works if the Q is on c7: 1. Rd7 Qc8 2. Nf6+ Kh8 3. Bxb7 (or 2. Rxb7 directly, for that matter.) White's activity is overwhelming.

What strike destroys Black's position in today's #dailypuzzle? 🤔 chess.com/forum/view/dai…

@chrislhayes I think you should clarify that taking revenue from competing businesses = OK if consumers are made better off. Otherwise there is always a sore loser even for big, unambiguous wins (body shops lose from backup cameras, morticians lose from life-saving pharma, etc.)

Something I've been thinking about recently, that I thought would make an interesting year-end thread. What's a new product/service/business that American capitalism has produced in the the last few years that you see as an unambiguous net benefit?
