@dtstp713 @HarrisonSParker @BradRTorgersen My guess: Quod erat demonstrandum. Approx: “And so it is demonstrated”

@HarrisonSParker @BradRTorgersen He never said. 🤷

I never knew Dan, but I did chitter-chatter a bit with him on Facebook. His Hyperion books represent a significant monument on the science fiction landscape. I respected enormously the fact he broke with the Wokies after 9/11, and did not bend the knee.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made the VEI Fundraising Gala an unforgettable evening! Together, we've raised over $670,000 so students can learn in-classroom their future potential regardless of career path! #veproud #fundraiser #entrepreneurs #futurebusinessleaders

@thestustustudio Concur. Well done, @CoryBooker it cannot be easy to deal with people imposing their half of an argument, and a misguided half at that, upon you and demanding to be listened to.

I'm not usually a fan of Cory Booker, but I commend him for spending his time explaining his opinion of the ceasefire deals as they disrespected him over and over. "Hamas is a terrorist organization is holding Americans, holding Canadians, Mexicans, people of many different backgrounds. They refused to release them. Should they release the hostages, we would have a ceasefire right now." "You say that Hamas has made an acceptable offer, and I am telling you this terrorist organization, who puts children and families and schools and hospitals, literally commits what is in definition a war crime." "O now we want to talk about war crimes."

We hope to see you at the Javits!

@GlennLoury I've been looking for an excuse to watch more Maher! He does great work and has many interesting guests. Having a thinker like you is the last bit of motivation that I needed. Thanks for posting! I'll be tuning in!

I'm proud of my cameo appearance in this Bill Maher clip!!

Had a fascinating two days with the #AISummit in NY by @Business_AI Highlights definitely include both sessions with @WilliamBarry2 and his co-panelists (TIM x2)! Lot of his great #AI content here (@dr.williambarry8571" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@dr.williambar…) too!

@LiveHappyDaily @PhysInHistory Great, but not underrated ;)

In your opinion, which is the most underrated science fiction film of all time? ✍️

The perfect term: “useful idiots.” Comes to mind a lot lately. Useful idiot - Wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_id…

Thank you! @LindaT_G for an inspirational life, and address for today’s @bronxsci Graduates!

@VivekGRamaswamy What is the source of this information?

If you want to talk about hush money for sexual indiscretions by politicians, consider this: in the past 25 years, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights has paid a staggering $18.2 million of *taxpayer dollars* to settle 291 cases of sexual harassment & other misconduct committed by members of Congress. The public shouldn’t be paying for this nonsense. We’re fixing corruption. No one will be spared.

Mitchell Warren @FP2030Global Commitments Stage at #ICFP2022: "If we're really people-centered, it's about centering people irrespective of who they are and who they love. That's where we need to meet people - with what they need and what they want and from whom they want it.

I really enjoyed this #Politics podcast from @bariweiss and friends. Many different angles, none of the fierce #partisanpolitics, and always respectful and fun. Thank you! @thehonestlypod podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who…

Really liked this, re: How to talk with people who #disagree : "We need to "differentiate between an argument as a product and argument as a process" #Partisan #Battleground psyche.co/guides/how-to-… via @psyche_the_mag

even David Hume was a racist, and European women endorsed imperial ventures. Our forbears constantly fail to measure up to our present-day standards.” From Lynn Hunt, and the Amer Historical Assoc: historians.org/publications-a…

The entire piece is worth the read: #Presentism , at its worst, encourages a kind of moral complacency and self-congratulation. Interpreting the past in terms of present concerns usually leads us to find ourselves morally superior; the Greeks had slavery, even David Hume ...

Great section in @CrainsNewYork about #ParkingNYC ! In particular, from Doug Gordon @BrooklynSpoke : NYC is not a leader among US Cities, but an outlier among international ones. crainsnewyork.com/crains-forum-n… via @CrainsNewYork

As usual, @IQ2US really comes through. Any consideration of #RoeVsWade should start here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agr…

Media ran with the “Don’t say gay” slogan and countless hypnotized robots regurgitated it, even though the slogan isn’t in/near the bill. The biggest problem we have in 2022 is how many puppets regurgitate media horseshit with zero independent thought.

@cvaldary @mycomood Great Response! Really practicing @enchanttheory !!
