@CeruleanFI How is it revisionism when socialism is actually an incredibly broad tradition that precedes even communist thinkers like Marx?

@DailyAFC @WeAreTheOverlap Why would you tweet a direct quote with a clip of the interview, but not an include a clip of the actual quote?
English
🗣️ Kyle Walker: “I have worked with Mikel Arteta, and I think he has taken a LOT of things from Pep Guardiola in the way that he coaches. The formation, the up-back-and-throughs, the set-the-ball don’t turn-on-the-ball.” ❌🧐

@UltimateClint I hope we’re not taking these two intellectual lolcows too seriously

No offense to this guy, but this is how powerful conservative gaslighting is btw.

@dannypea @jrh1729 @12Xpert @Soccermatics There are different models for XG but all of them are determined by number of shots, their location, and other factors. Presumably a team with 11 attackers wouldn’t play well and wouldn’t have as many shots as a balanced team, yielding lower XG
English
@jrh1729 @binnyisch @12Xpert @Soccermatics Which would give a better indication of that games expected goals? No? Obviously XG is a rounded collective based on previous games, which potentially has nothing to do with individuals on the day? Especially, like in Villas case on Sun, two of them are debutants?
English
How can xG be used as a reliable metric for form analysis and prediction if there is so much variability across different sources?
English
@EmiSmithShowe I’m not sure if this is what people mean, but sometimes people suggest that over performing xg makes it more likely to underperform it later. This is the gamblers fallacy though. It regresses to the mean with a sufficient sample size because it’s the mean as stated.
English
Reading and statistical comprehension is actually at an all time low
English
@dannypea @12Xpert @Soccermatics What? “if team A) plays with 11 forwards, their predicted XG will be higher than a team playing 451”. Where are you getting this idea?
English
@12Xpert @Soccermatics Where it flaws, if team A) plays with 11 forwards, their predicted XG will be higher than a team playing 451, so formation, form and performance plays a bigger part, but if you actually look at XGOT for Villa v Brentford, despite Villa's dominance, they are very similar!

@asymmetricinfo What an odd world we live in where Washington post reporters are quote tweeting Twitter’s preeminent race “scientist” as if he’s one of their colleagues
English
Sincerely did not anticipate this would generate such a fierce reaction. It is not a secret that more women than men go to college, nor that administrators are at pains to keep the gender ratio within shouting distance of 50% lest the girls flee
Megan McArdle@asymmetricinfo
Interestingly, this could also be a vehicle for ending the considerable affirmative action that many colleges currently practice for men.

@son_ofa_car @stevenxlml @cafreiman The vast majority of people need income to take out credit, which is taxed. The mega rich only need capital, which is taxed at a much lower rate and only when “realized”
English
@binnyisch @stevenxlml @cafreiman Under your assumptions, why isn’t all credit taxed as income? Credit cards, helocs, auto loans, what is the difference exactly? You just don’t like the amount of collateral they borrow against?
English
We *do* tax the rich and they pay more than anyone else:
Secular Talk ([email protected])@KyleKulinski
TAX THE RICH!!!!
English
@stevenxlml @cafreiman If you can spend (take loans out) on unrealized gains, you should be able to be taxed on unrealized gains
English
@cafreiman What they’re actually proposing is to tax unrealized gains.

@JackFarley96 You don’t think the United States slowly drifting into authoritarianism and political instability might reduce confidence in the economy long term?
English
The narrative that is being attributed to the sell-off is Pres Trump trashing Powell and threatening to fire him. To me that is meaningful for bonds and gold and the dollar... but it's not obvious to me that forward S&P profits will be lower // demand a lower multiple in a world in which Powell has been removed.
English
In my view, today is the first day since Liberation Day where stocks sold off meaningfully without any negative tariff news.
Interesting.
English
@PolitlcsUK Do they really think the public is that ignorant to not know that it was completely staged?
The left wing progressive politicians are so disconnected from reality.
This is proof that they think commoners are oblivious fools. It’s like a bad movie script.

🚨🎥 WATCH: Nigel Farage helps to fill potholes with flowers

@mert What?
People believe fake news that tariffs will be delayed, possibility negotiations and backing down -> investors believe greater chance tariffs will be avoided or reduced -> stocks valued higher
News turns out to be BS -> corrects to previous position
Makes perfect sense
English
@AdamGibson70111 @DancuAdrian @nntaleb @xjr358 Idiot, if you picked any point in time you wouldn’t come up with Trump’s bullshit numbers. Trump actually did use an objective metric, but it doesn’t measure what he claims it does. You are very confused and need to look up the meanings of “subjective” and “objective”

The most ignorant statement: "Lunatic Lutnick" isn't aware of substitution driving ALL prices up.

Lutnick: "Foreign goods may become a little more expensive, but domestic goods do not. So if you're looking at Poland Springs water versus let's say Fiji Water, the Poland Springs is not gonna be more expensive. So for the first time in your lives you're gonna actually think about the Americans who make the products."
English
@AdamGibson70111 @DancuAdrian @nntaleb @xjr358 Idiot, you do realize Trumps Tariffs are across the board, not just semiconductors or strategically useful products. You can use impressive phrases but your understanding of them certainly isn’t
English
@DancuAdrian @AdamGibson70111 @nntaleb @xjr358 Ah, so you actually are stupid enough to believe the White House’s nonsense. That figure was found by simply dividing the trade deficit by total exports, which is NOT the tariff rate.
English
@binnyisch @AdamGibson70111 @nntaleb @xjr358 oh I see, so 20% is "far greater" than 39%. Great, thanks for your valuable response lol
