@JohnchoVilla Just need to play Vic 20 minutes in the 2nd half. This is not the regular season, 32 min a game is not enough.

@NateDuncanNBA Wemby really needs to play 20 min in the 2nd half. 16 in the first half was not enough.

@xwanyex the US wasn't founded on white supremacy, but white supremacy has definitely been a big factor for much of its history. It's fine to say we're a creedal nation that's never lived up fully to the creed, but we're getting closer! I think Obama and Rubio would both agree with that.

@StolteNick @robbysoave I think some of them were worried about it but other than Adams briefly during the French crisis, none of them really tried to limit immigration in any way, mostly because the economic need for immigrants was overwhelming
English
This is a good example of where the "heritage American" discourse leads. In the scene this Blaze guy is quoting here as representative of his ideology, Matt Damon's WASP character is saying he's a real American and Joe Pesci's Sicilian mobster character (who has lived his entire life in America) is not.
So that's that? America is for WASPS, not Italian Catholics? Does anyone really believe that? Of course not.

Seconded. There is a very real chance that she avoids a runoff entirely.
She was at 39% in the AJC poll with 35% undecided.
If one-in-three undecideds break her way, she would hit 50% and advance straight to the general election.

Can everyone in the Democratic field for Georgia Governor start going on attack against Keisha Lance Bottoms? I mean she’s literally the most vulnerable Democrat in the field yet no one has come out to attack her. 🤯

@billybinion And none of those homes are bought or rented-they’re all ‘given’ to the illegal immigrants by what I can only assume are very generous people.
English
Wow. There are an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in the United States. So for this to be true, each one must own two homes. Very insightful stuff from our vice president.
TheBlaze@theblaze
Vance: "You want to lower the cost of homes for American families? Why don't you stop giving 30 million homes to illegal aliens? Why don't you seal the border and make sure those homes go to American families for a change? That's how you lower the cost of housing."

@Matthew_Tynan I think Vegas read the same shooting variance stats you tweeted about.

I don't care about the foul trouble, you gotta play Harper and Castle over Fox in the 4th.
English
@EricSal_7 I hope you’re right! I’d settle for shooting better on 3s

About the worst Fox can possibly play.
Expect him to step up in the 2nd half.

@xwanyex The ironic thing is the ancient sources all say the transitions were violent, but they don’t want to believe them til DNA evidence confirmed it
English
So, are archaeologists just, like, retarded, or what? I’m never going to understand this thing where educated people would rather look stupid than say something that violates their politics. It’s such a black pill. You really have to imagine of people like this that there’s nothing they wouldn’t do, no evil they wouldn’t countenance. They’ll literally just say anything. They can be made to believe anything.
Dwarkesh Patel@dwarkesh_sp
David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."

@samhaselby @andybliu Def a big part of the story-if anything, education has gotten too competitive there now.

With respect to Jesús, economist Guilherme Martin Kleins, drawing on Alice Amsden's work and attempts by South American economists to solve exactly this problem- why did East Asia rise while South America fell- provides an answer: aeon.co/essays/how-for…
Jesús Fernández-Villaverde@JesusFerna7026
A fundamental lesson from my posts these last two weeks on modernization, industrial policy, and development is that development economics should be about understanding why South Korea got rich but Bolivia did not. The current field has largely given up on that question. Sharply identified RCTs on small micro programs are a fine way to publish in the AER and get tenure at a fancy university, but a profession that knows everything about microfinance impact evaluations and almost nothing about industrialization has misallocated its own intellectual capital on a pretty heroic scale. Four images of Seoul:

@andybliu @samhaselby Isn’t it because they developed successfully later to a higher level than any non-authoritarian country? My Korean relatives remember a much poorer Korea even in the 60s and 70s.
English
@samhaselby purely from anecdote, i feel like there is a piece to be written about how how south korea in particular (amsden) is studied as the prototypical development model by everyone from eastern europe to south asia to latin america. not japan, not the UK-US, but s. korea in particular

@oscarthecount @DouglasLFarrar @RajMahal819 @mattyglesias As an attorney, there are very few cases like this where I can give a black and white answer
English
@thejfc @DouglasLFarrar @RajMahal819 @mattyglesias Exactly. Also, what anti-trust attorney has ever given a client a black and white answer? 😂 Also, it’s clear they needed to raise prices to survive. This whole “they’d raise prices by 24% to survive, the gall!” is comical.

The usual suspects are blaming Biden's DOJ for blocking the JetBlue merger. They're wrong.
Spirit was killed by three things: shareholder greed, corporate mismanagement, and Donald Trump's war with Iran.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 NOW: Sec. Sean Duffy JUST WENT OFF on the Biden admin and Elizabeth Warren for CANCELING the Spirit and JetBlue merger in 2024 that would've saved the budget airline Now we have LESS COMPETITION, despite them claiming the merger would've harmed consumers. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP "Elizabeth Warren cheered the BLOCKING...saying this was a 'Biden win for fliers.'" "We CARE about pricing! We care about competition. But if the markets say there needs to be a merger because of health issues with an airline, we HAVE to make sure we make the right choices." "History has judged the denial of the JetBlue-Spirit merger under Biden as a MASSIVE MISTAKE!"
English
@DouglasLFarrar @RajMahal819 @mattyglesias Attorneys evaluating risk is very different than the CEO saying flat out the merger was illegal-where did he say that?
English
@thejfc @RajMahal819 @mattyglesias Their attorneys were evaluating risk and it turns out they were right because the judge agreed that the deal was illegal.
English
@DouglasLFarrar @RajMahal819 @mattyglesias No he said (posted from the thread) there was 100% chance of a DOJ suit to stop the merger. Where did he say it was illegal?
English
@RajMahal819 @mattyglesias The Spirit CEO said so in the thread I just posted

@Tysingerlaw @Legal_Fil the legal theories are equally bad, but fortunately no one took the ERA theory seriously and rioted as a result.
English
@Legal_Fil It’s interesting that whoever gave the legal analysis in support of the tweet declaring ratification of the ERA isn’t seen in a similar light as John Eastman and his infamous brief.

It is hard to impress on people just how much damage William Bay did to the ABA’s reputation.
Bad leadership choices can quickly spend down institutional capital.

Should an organization that believes President Biden can amend the Constitution via Tweet have a monopoly on over seeing law schools? What about if the organization is partisan and also raises law school costs? U.S. Attorney @BradenBoucek & @FTC team up to say No!

@KeystoneObsrvr @LPDonovan If you had some well-apportioned 3-bedroom townhomes that catered to active adult (age 55+) buyers I think there would be a lot of demand for those.

This is a subset of the affordability debate but I think there are a fair number of youngish Americans with $200-250k household incomes who feel like that should afford a nicer lifestyle than it actually can in top 10 metros (in part because retirees still have the good houses).

@psbroderick @royfrompluto try doing that walk with little kids and THEN walking further on the beltline-harder than you think!
English
@royfrompluto Roy is correct here. Inman Park station to the Beltline is .6 miles. Krog St. Tunnel.
If you can't walk .6 miles...how far are you planning to walk on the Beltline?
English
to Krog street tunnel, it's ~16 minute walk from King Memorial or Inman Park stations. In most 'walkable' cities that's a reasonable distance. In NYC people regularly walk 30 mins to and from transit but in atlanta people don't perceive that as reasonable
zach@ZachNagel7
There’s no reason The Beltline has zero rail connection, you can’t even really consider using MARTA to get there smh
