@Reeseforsure I rate this as: True

@JamesSurowiecki It was the only way to apply the 3/5 compromise to the election of President and Vice President. It has outlived its purpose.

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@JakeSherman @AndrewDesiderio So it was preemptive revenge?

NEWS -- A senior Trump administration official said that U.S. intelligence "had indicators" that the Iranians were going to use their missiles "preemptively, but if not, simultaneous" to any American action on Iran. The Gang of Eight was briefed on this, as @AndrewDesiderio reported in our special edition this morning. "The president decided he was not going to sit back and allow American forces in the region to absorb attacks from conventional missiles. We had analysis that basically told us, if we sat back and waited to get hit first, the amount of casualties and damage would be substantially higher than if we acted in a preemptive, defensive way to prevent those launches from occurring."

@ASFleischman The sans-culottes have manned the barricades!

This worked once, really great, in 1830, in France. For an idea of how it's worked every time since, please see the collected works of Andrew Lloyd Weber

@AlbertBreer It’s: A: McCarthy B: Payton C: Tomlin

• Coach A: 174-112-2, 8 division titles, 12 playoff seasons, 11 playoff wins, 1 🏆. • Coach B: 184-108, 8 division titles, 11 playoff seasons, 10 playoff wins, 1 🏆. • Coach C: 193-114-2, 8 division titles, 13 playoff seasons, 8 playoff wins, 1 🏆. Guesses on who's who?

For my final history of the year, I just started The World: A Family History of Humanity by Simon Sebag-Montefiore @simonmontefiore, which will likely be my first history book of 2026. If you read any of these and enjoy them, let me know. Happy Reading!

To get the Danes' side of the story, I next read The Wolf Age: The Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons and the battle for the North Sea Empire by Tore Skeie. If you are interested in that time period, I can't recommend this one enough.

Followed that with Oathbreakers: The War of Brothers that Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe - How Charlemagne's Dynasty Fell and Why It Matters for Understanding Political Collapse by Matthew Gabriele. I didn't know much about this time period so I learned alot

Back to the oceans with Empire of Blue Water: Captain Morgan's Great Pirate Army, the Epic Battle for the Americas, and the Catastrophe That Ended the Outlaw's Bloody Reign by Stephan Talty @stephantalty - you love the Rum, now learn about the man. Made me want to play Pirates

History Books I read in 2025: Started the year off strong with Gordon of Khartoum: From the Crimea to China to Sudan by the late Alexander McKee

Next, I enjoyed The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV by Helen Castor @hrcastor - wonderfully written and engaging

Learned a lot I didn't know from Hampton Sides' The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook @hampton_sides

@aymanalabdul Aren’t you already measuring churn as a part of net revenue retention?

Metrics you should track weekly as a CEO: • Cash in the bank (not just revenue) • APRR (A-Player Referral Rate) • NRR (Net Revenue Retention) • Customer Acquisition Cost • Revenue per employee • Lifetime Value • Churn

@PatMcAfeeShow Notre Dame should have been in over Alabama. Georgia should be 2 and Ohio State 3.
