@mnolangray Hawaii eliminated single-family zoning in 1981 —and the housing crisis in Hawaii is worse now than it was in 1981. Maybe the elimination of single family zoning is not the panacea that progressives claim it to be.

@senatorduff DSA makes me go hmmm….. and state senator Duff won’t say a word against the DSA platform: eliminating the Senate, eliminating the electoral college, subjugating the Presidency and the SCOTUS to the House of Representatives and supporting & coordinating with Hasan Piker.

Sometimes things make you go hmmmm - like when Trump alleges voter fraud only in 2020 when he is president, but not in 2016 and 2024 when a Democrat is in the White House.

There is a common belief that funding disparities are at the root of education inequality — with poorer districts receiving less than wealthier ones. But a recent @Brookings study has actually found the opposite. @amanda_geduld reports buff.ly/xlucsMU

Rory McIlroy is undeniably one of golf’s elite talents with a record that speaks for itself. But today’s comments about Bryson were pathetic. Saying he’s “not particularly fond of him” and labeling his hard work “performative” and “designed for attention” reveals a petty, bitter side that has no place in this game. True champions don’t tear down others who are grinding and winning. That was small, classless, and beneath you, Rory. I’m done.

“I think a lot of it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention… To hold the tournament hostage like that, and to have all of us… waiting on him to depart, I didn't feel like it was a great look." Rory just WENT IN on Bryson 😳 Thoughts?

@BigMeanInternet @daveweigel Only 30% of boomers upsizing and the primary reason is to accommodate their kids/grandkids. Seems quite logical rather than pathological.

Today, @StateDept is imposing new visa restrictions to bar Far-Left Terrorists from entering our country. Foreigners who finance, incite, or aid and abet Far-Left Terrorists are enemies of our civilization. They are not welcome in the United States. state.gov/releases/offic…

Last minute first time trip to Hawaii. I know all the usual tourist stuff. What are some cool unknowns I should visit while I’m there?

@SotomayorJames @JamesSurowiecki Just to be clear I am not disagreeing with your description of apples v oranges. Just pointing out that the same rules govern both situations but the assumption of incidental contact is applied much more liberally in the corner-kick scenario.

Same rules apply—running full speed for a 50/50 ball is not mentioned in the rules. U can be stationary or nearly stationary are still be fouled. But during PKs there is an assumption of incidental movement which is applied much more liberally than in non-corner kick situations.

Given the way the rules are written, the ref had no real choice but to call a penalty. But this is a perfect example of how the cost of a penalty to the defending team is often vastly disproportionate to the benefit that team got by committing the penalty. Yamal doesn't play this ball - he lets it deflect off his arm. And he has no real possibility of turning into a good scoring chance from where he was. So Diane's interference cost Spain maybe 0.2 expected goals (if that). But the benefit to Spain of the penalty was 0.8 expected goals, That's an outsized benefit - which is why players look for penalties.

Another look at the Lucas Digne challenge on Lamine Yamal that resulted in a Spain penalty

@SotomayorJames @JamesSurowiecki According to TheFA.com, penalty kicks can be awarded immediately after a corner kick if a defending player commits a foul—such as a push, trip, or deliberate handball—inside their own penalty area while the ball is live.

@JamesSurowiecki Bullshit. The French player kicked/dropped a Spanish player in the box without the ball. A penalty period. He took the opportunity of a score from Yamal, intention doesn’t matter. The French player needs to be aware of his surroundings.

@shipwreckedcrew If they applied this rule consistently then there should be a PK after almost every corner kick.

@stoolpresidente Ridiculous. Both players fighting for possession and the Spanish player had his back to the goal!

They gotta do something about these penalties. You play 90 minutes of soccer and then ridiculous penalties decide the game

Be super curious if this works for people who follow me. If you are seeing more of my posts, let me know!

We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back). We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize. This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

@Welovefinanceha @Jesse_Livermore He did. First line of his tweet: “Think about how easy it would have been for a president to not screw this term up. Take office in '25, extend the tax cuts, then get out of the way. Done.”

Think about how easy it would have been for a president to not screw this term up. Take office in '25, extend the tax cuts, then get out of the way. Done. Instead, we have a president who, at every turn, has dramatically exacerbated every problem he was elected to solve. Higher inflation (tariffs, fiscal recklessness, Iran debacle), higher rates (interference w/ the Fed), endless wars, plus some of the most disgusting corruption the office has ever seen (swamp?) Judged against a passive benchmark, this is without question the worst performance of any president in U.S. history.
