The saddest people are people who don’t like Bloody Marys. What’s not to like? V8? Lemon juice? Tabasco? Alcohol? Ice?? Maybe the greatest starting line up of all time. The sixth man on this team is worcestershire sauce, one of history’s most popular condiments.

@EvilMopacATX This is the consequence of California, Florida, and the Midwest flocking here and ruining anything interesting about my hometown in the process.

@MLShater Tickets for Germany v. Ecuador are over 1k for last ten rows in the stadium. And now the geniuses running this tournament also have banned driving to MetLife stadium and can only get there by mass transit. It’s going to be a disaster

@MLShater I live in Texas, lifelong soccer player. My dad could afford the ‘94 WC, but no chance in hell I’m paying that much to watch a match at the Cowboys stadium.

@samhaselby @IVMiles Yeah, the Atlantic slave trade quickened global capitalism to life, firing across trade routes that had been established for centuries and then drawing in cities and their hinterlands.

The Confederacy’s entire manufacturing output in 1861 was 1/4 that of New York State’s. Just an insane statistic to me.

@theparthrastogi We saved to buy a house in 1983, interest rate 18% We didn’t go out to eat, we didn’t travel, we had hand me down furniture. We didn’t have a new car. The wages are relevant to today. I am afraid that our younger generation feel entitled to a certain lifestyle.

Look at the generational difference - 1990s: • Get a university degree • Get a 9–5 job • Suit and tie • Get promoted • Get married at 21 • Buy a house at 25 • 4 kids, 1 dog • Retire at 60 2026: • Survive… Show more

thats actually a really good question imo mainly national security - a nation that cant build things is in trouble during war (look at detroit in the 1940s) (look up freedom forge book) steel industry provides meaningful jobs, and has a multiplier effect of like 3x ish a nation should be able to build it's own things and have some level of control - look at the news from britain lastly if you dont make your own steel/metal you are paying a premium to build basically everything in the physical world you should come to @reindsummit this summer :)

i think we will look back in 25 years and realize that we misallocated time, talent, and capital at an absurd magnitude we built unicorns solving lazy problems like food delivery all while since 2000, US steel production has dropped 34% (108M tons to 71M tons), we lost 5.8M manufacturing jobs, and China now produces 57% of global steel vs our 4%

@jmcayce @brettvito The faculty have more influence on the university than a middling basketball team. Surprising how many people seem not to understand that most students at large public state universities don’t care about the athletic teams at all.

North Texas will head to Oklahoma State for the quarterfinals of the NIT due to a scheduling conflict with a faculty lunch and a dance competition at the Super PIt. UNT officials say they explored alternatives, but were unable to find a solution. dentonrc.com/sports/college…

When Cortés met the Aztecs, he was greeted by walls of human skulls and open markets where human limbs were sold as food alongside birds and fish. Montezuma would have the thighs of young boys cooked for him in broth and corn.

@ClayTravis Not a chance. WNBA has cost the NBA money every year. The only reason the league is still standing is a lost liter to draw female fans increase viewership across the board. But the WNBA is running in the red, not black when it comes to bottom line dollars.

The WNBA was founded in 1996 and has never made a profit in 29 years. Question for the business gurus, can you think of any other for profit business in America that is 29 years old, has never made a profit, and still exists? I honestly can’t. The WNBA may be the only one.
