I've been on the road...

I love how she's like, "Ran to fix stuff"....just isn't fixed yet "Forging a new path".....still forging, (years later) still forging guys, but focus on the new path. "But don't get ahead of yourselves, we're not gonna start fixing yet, we've still gotta 🤡responsibly🤡 plan"

@KeenanPeachy @MayorOfLA I love how she's like, "Ran to fix stuff"....just isn't fixed yet "Forging a new path".....still forging, (years later) still forging guys, but focus on the new path. "But don't get ahead of yourselves, we're not gonna start fixing yet, we've still gotta 🤡responsibly🤡 plan"

@MayorOfLA Oh wow, a plan that will “make its way through the process.” Another 20 years and $200 billion to fill three potholes

I ran for Mayor to break away from the City’s broken system that has left us with deteriorating streets and backlogs of repairs that piled up for years.

Why do people write tweets like this?Where every sentence gets a new line. Sometimes a line might have two sentences. Like this one. But generally speaking, every sentence has a new line, making a tweet look like a long block of text that no one reads. Worse still, such tweets are often repetitive and winding, hammering on the same point over and over again. The writing is often very bad.

I’ve noticed something: A lot of people who talk about “critical thinking” don’t actually want it applied to their conclusions. They want it used to arrive at them.

@newstart_2024 I tried making this point to a public admin professor whose whole thing was equity many years ago. His response was, "it doesn't matter, we should be trying to help people." 🤪

They put scars on women’s faces for a job interview experiment… then secretly removed them. The women went in believing they had visible disfigurements — and came out reporting massive discrimination, with interviewers supposedly referencing their “scars.” Konstantin Kisin used this study to make a powerful point: constantly telling people they’re oppressed or disadvantaged primes them to see discrimination everywhere, even when it isn’t there. It’s the same psychological effect as buying a new car and suddenly noticing that model on every street. The ideology of victimhood doesn’t just describe reality — it actively shapes it. We should be teaching young people they’re strong and capable of overcoming adversity, not training them to see themselves as permanent victims. What’s one way you’ve seen this “victimhood mindset” play out in real life?

@Jason Damn I miss Tahoe

if anything remotely close to this CyberSUV concept drops, it will take over the entire SUV category Would love to have hyper-lifted feature in this, in order to navigate Tahoe blizzards!

@paulg I thought you were talking smell, which makes sense. But then bartender addition makes me feel like taste as well. Make daquiris using variations of both and see if you can tell the difference. Full lemon, half&half, lime.

No one in our family can tell lemons from limes with their eyes closed. We all thought we could, but no one could. I bet all bartenders know this.

@4real_Emenefee @NoDMsPerfavore Yeah this reminds me of old multiple choice tests where the answer is obviously obvious even without a question or prompt.

@NoDMsPerfavore Everyone know the correct answer is C

You have to take one of them fishing. Who’s it gonna be? 🤣

@AutismCapital No fuckinggg way, that is so funny, ridiculous, sad???.... on soooo many levels.

Lmao the new Harry Potter dining hall is forced to use LED lamps instead of candles for ESG modernization purposes lol!!!!

@mazemoore @elonmusk Ha, fuck that's funny

@elonmusk With all due respect, not sure I would trust your judgement on pull out ability. 😂

Inspiring new merch idea: rocket pocket underpants! 🚀 🩳 Underpants with a handy pocket for your rocket, which contains a real scale model rocket with an easy pull out ability. Guaranteed to be a hit at parties!

"If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts—physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on—remember that nature does not know it!"

Doing work and testing @Starlink on a half cloudy day in Virginia Beach. I love that I can work anywhere with this thing.

A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.

Don't forget to pack your normal day IED, perfect for enjoying the warmth on a normal day.

@FAFOFarmsTX @CNN No, you don't understand. These were normal day IEDs. It's not a nice sunny day in the park without your harmless IED.

@CNN They crossed state lines with an IED and they are just teenagers trying to enjoy a normal day? Maybe in the streets of Afghanistan, but this is America and these are terrorists

A literal convo with the ex: Her: "I've heard all the arguments, I don't need any more, I know what's true." Me: "You don't think things can change? That it's important to be open to other ideas?" H: "You think that's critical thinking, but it's not. I can't do your education for you."

James highlights an important phenomenon I often call “zombie ideas” in science, which are ideas that persist long after their expiration date because they have become political rallying cries that few people are willing to publicly challenge. We’ve all heard claims about women’s “underrepresentation in clinical trials and research.” This is often asserted at the outset of funding proposals and research applications. But there’s no good evidence that this was ever broadly true, and the popularity of this claim has actually led to the significant and sustained OVERrepresentation of women in clinical trials. In my own field of animal behavior, a similar zombie idea used in grant proposals and paper introductions is the supposed lack of research on sexual selection from the female perspective. But this wasn’t true either. Early researchers in sexual selection paid considerable attention to the female POV. Any perceived bias is due to the more conspicuous and measurable aspects of male sexual behavior, such as male-male competition and elaborate displays. Yet the idea persisted—and still does—because it became attached to popular feminist narratives and a broader cultural zeitgeist that emphasized female empowerment.

@AndrewKolvet @RyanGirdusky Every ad: "We're going to do something wrong that we've said in the past is wrong, and on principle is wrong. But in this case... two wrongs make a right."

In a Kamala +6 state, the VA special election on redistricting from a 6-5 state to 10-1 state in Democrats’ favor, the proposal promises to “restore fairness.” What an absolute crock.

@BernieSanders "Why use facts and logic when you can convince people to believe stupid things... It's much easier to just foment envy, division, and hate."

Organized people will always beat organized money.

But, do you ANSWER, with them facts?!
