@US_Stormwatch Even a controlled burn at this time of year and at this elevation does not bode well for the summer.

It’s March 30 and a wildfire is burning on Donner Lake Road near I-80. Donner Summit’s snowpack also fully melted today. Just insane.

@amato_mike When you go to the finals as an expansion team, fans develop unrealistic expectations.

Vegas has been in existence for 8-plus seasons with: - 7 playoff appearances - 2 conference finals - 2 trips to the final - 1 Stanley Cup John Tortorella will now be their 4th head coach. And people think there's pressure playing in Toronto? #VegasBorn

@mikecommito Wikipedia says he broke his nose on Jan 7 vs the Canadiens, went to the hospital and sat out for 6 weeks. When he returned to the lineup, he wore the mask.

@mikecommito Is there a back story? A broken nose? Otherwise not a lot of protection.

On this day in 1930, Maroons goaltender Clint Benedict became the first NHL goaltender to wear a protective mask during a game #Hockey365

@schlichter1 @LeilaniFarms @StephanieKelton This is not a matter of what works vs what doesn't work, MMT is an explanation of the process of money creation, not a policy.

@LeilaniFarms @StephanieKelton The problem w/ MMT is that on paper it works, but in reality it never will. MMT boils down to spending $ to boost GDP above the inflation cost of the money spend. A rising tide, etc. But once inflation overtakes that mark then Govt has to raise taxes & offer higher bond rates.

"The United States does not borrow in order to have funds to pay its obligations. It pays its obligations by check (or electronic transfer) as specified by law. It then issues bonds...but it doesn’t have to...[it] pays its bills by issuing checks..What happens or doesn’t happen after that is a separate issue." ~James Galbraith thenation.com/article/econom…

@francegalop Je regarde les courses aux États-Unis depuis de nombreuses années et je n'ai jamais entendu deux d'annonceurs. Intéressant.

⭕ #ParisLongchamp – Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Gr I) Suspense incroyable ! Shes Perfect franchit le poteau en tête mais, après enquête, est rétrogradée pour avoir gêné Zarigana (F3 Siyouni), qui s’impose pour les Aga Khan Studs. Mandanaba complète le podium #Emirates

@SanJoseSharks @SAP I was really hoping the Sharks could get one more win this season. 🙄

After two.

@MaryWalterRadio @JayinKyiv 😂

@JayinKyiv All paid & bused in.

Trump's "biggest crowds ever" have finally materialized.

@CaitlinPacific A masterful essay. Thanks for sharing 🙏

With all this talk about what is and is not manly, I present a Tom Flanagan oldie - nytimes.com/1985/02/10/mag…

@_Siaynoq @50footTom @DannyGonzo22 @russellwadey @StephanieKelton @chamath @elonmusk Seven Deadly Innocent Frauds would be a good start. Here's a link to the pdf. moslereconomics.com/wp-content/upl…

@50footTom @DannyGonzo22 @russellwadey @StephanieKelton @chamath @elonmusk I didn't ask for nonsensical opinions, I just asked if he'd read it. Seems ridiculous to expect an author to tweet out her entire book each time when it's freely available.

This is nonsense. Pure and simple.

@BretWeinstein Who are these "backers" of which you speak?

The Biden administration set us up for a proxy war with Russia over Ukraine. It did so on behalf of backers that wanted the conflict—for reasons we must speculate about. The victims of the scheme are the Ukrainian, Russian and American citizens. The Biden administration is gone, but the war’s original backers want the battle to continue. And they have drafted Europeans and Americans into supporting renewed commitment to a losing battle on the basis of (what seems to me) a childish fairytale in which one side is pure evil and the other good, and all that is needed to pick the good side and double down until the dice roll our way. That’s not how it works. Military fairytales lead to quagmires, and the longer we double down, the fewer the options, the worse the final analysis. Ukraine already faces a decidedly uncertain future based on the last round of fairytales the public blindly accepted. When do we wake up and have an adult conversation about how to achieve the best of the outcomes that remain within in the realm of the possible?

@GopherPuckLive Oh man, what a drag. Bad luck!

So this is Tony Czech’s last weekend as a referee. He is retiring after the games this weekend. His family was in attendance tonight. He lost a few teeth when he took a stick to the face after the OSU goal tonight. Hoping to ref tomorrow. If not, the B1G will bring someone in to cover him.

@GRoditiD Pretty sure Newshour said last night that DJT has a 53% approval rating. I just about lost it 😧 What the actual F*$k is wrong with people?

unfortunately this will be the only way in which Americans *might* learn any lesson

@ChronoScopeFilm @tedfrank "Smart believers in fairy tales" 😂

@tedfrank "smart atheists" lol

I’m surprised at the number of relatively smart atheists who confidently opine on religion as if they are entirely unaware that religious thinkers have been discussing faith and theodicy since the dawn of monotheism. It’s a weird tunnel vision for a natural skeptic.

@SebastiaNosrati @MacroEdgeRes Is there any copper in a penny?

President Trump instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to stop production of the penny #MacroEdge

@fasc1nate I doubt she was much of an anomaly back in those days, before birth control. If all those kids lived, that would be something.

Born in 1871. Starting at age 22, she was pregnant 18 times in 20 years.

@DSox012680 @KOLO8 Not a problem, but based on the info, you'll need to time travel back a few hours to participate. 🤔 Either the info is wrong (Jan 31) or this post was not especially timely. 🤪

@medeabenjamin Lets try this in the opposite direction and let the whole West Coast should join Canada.

BREAKING: Canada joins the U.S., and things go downhill FAST: No more universal healthcare, just ‘Donald’s’ burgers and endless wars! 🍔💣💦 Don’t worry, it’s just a joke… or is it? 👀

@BR_OpenIce @oliviavidaltv That's pretty good ice. 👍 Nothing like a clean sheet.

It’s so cold down in New Orleans that the streets have frozen over and people are playing hockey 🏒 (via @oliviavidaltv)
