@hamandcheese @albrgr I thought this was specifically about us funding RAND so much they’re no longer really a military contractor
English
@albrgr you guys are supposedly the dark money behind everything. Just poking fun at the fact you are actually dwarfed many times over by other interests

Progressives in the Pacific Northwest are lapping their CA sibs in the race for good housing policy.
The latest: An Oregon ban on unfunded inclusionary zoning, with Democratic Socialists leading the charge!

@dporges I would argue that has *something* to do with Grace Kelley

I'd read something on the multi-decade rise, from "Clint Eastwood" to "Demi Moore" to "Drew Barrymore," of songs named after celebrities whose lyrics have nothing to do with those celebrities

@krishnanrohit as soon as Hegseth started tweeting about "defective altruism" my ~third thought was "Sam is cooked huh"

How could an Andrew Jackson fanboy be racist?
Alec MacGillis@AlecMacGillis
In Princeton NJ, where the median home costs $1 million, residents are fighting a plan for 238 apartments on the grounds of a former seminary. Leading the resistance: historian Sean Wilentz. "We are being accused of being racist," he said. @timcraigpost: wapo.st/4rBmPtC

"The state and local fiscal impact of H-1B households2 is substantial and positive in every state except New Hampshire, which has neither an income nor general sales tax, and Washington, D.C." lol the two places I've spent ~my whole life
Adam Ozimek@ModeledBehavior
In a new report out today, @SarahEckha89223 and I estimate the federal, state, and local impact of H-1B visa holders. The average H-1B household contributes a net of $30,050 at the federal level. At the state and local level, they contribute $5,040 per H-1B household and are positive in 49 states. TONS more detail here eig.org/fiscal-impacts…

The algorithm deciding to misattribute a black female director's work to PTA is, in this context, extremely funny

Richard Brody is an American original, he could slander every movie I’ve ever liked and I’d still love him

@panickssery @JayPowellsAlt @JerusalemDemsas @grok Sure, but that seems like a very selectively picked counterfactual. Should he have donated instead of starting The Boring Company? Obviously
English
@dylanmatt @JayPowellsAlt @JerusalemDemsas @grok Out of curiosity do you think founding SpaceX with $100m of his wealth was a better use of that wealth that GiveDirectly, in hindsight?

Thiel is a world historic villain. Hard to overstate his negative impact on humanity.
Teddy Schleifer@teddyschleifer
Peter Thiel tells me that he has had a dozen private conversations recently with signers of The Giving Pledge, encouraging them to "un-sign it."

Can't believe Clem's grandson is a Tory
Gareth Corfield@GazTheJourno
A Conservative peer has branded West Midlands Police "corrupt" after going undercover to find out how the force increased its income from HS2 deliveries 70x over just five years. Earl Attlee posed as "John the driving assessor" in the cab of lorries carrying abnormal loads.

Perhaps the only person to be friends with both Huey P. Newton (he chaired Huey's diss. committee!) and Jeffrey Epstein
Great scientist, very bad personal/moral judgment, many such cases

RIP Robert Trivers - the Einstein of evolutionary biology and one the greatest thinkers of our age. Among other things, Trivers came up with parental investment theory, reciprocal altruism theory, and parent-offspring conflict theory.

@panickssery @JayPowellsAlt @JerusalemDemsas @grok Leaving the Giving Pledge aside, what's your best theory for why Elon declines to meet AMF and GD's room for more funding, given that he easily could with a minimal share of his wealth?
English
@JayPowellsAlt @JerusalemDemsas Those charities cant absorb anything close to elon's wealth, much closer to 1%, and the giving pledge is for half
@grok how much can amf and givedirectly absorb

Bill Clinton’s super moderate cultural politics allowed for an aggressive approach to revenue that is inconceivable for today’s Democrats

@leightjessica @oliverwkim It’s in Warmth of Other Suns (though sourced to “it is said” which doesn’t seem rock solid)
English
@oliverwkim I read somewhere that a lot of the postwar migration from the south to Newark was semi accidental because people heard the station announcement and it sounded just like New York. This probably is not true but I love the story
English
Even as a native English speaker and former New Jerseyan, having both Newark Penn Station and New York Penn Station seems needlessly cruel

The only thing preventing me from pitching a perfect game is batters swinging at my pitches. I'm pitching a perfect game if those batters just don't do that.
