Forget fellow superstars. Podz gets a better whistle than Steph.
Andy Bailey@AndrewDBailey
You simply cannot watch both teams play and think Stephen Curry is officiated the same way Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is. I have no theory as to why that is, other than maybe one guy is more willing to sell. But anyone who says this is the same is lying or divorced from reality.

It’s one of the easiest applications of just war theory in US history. Trump does not pretend at all that he is motivated by a commitment to the common good or just peace—or has any commitment to jus in bello principles. No pretense of last resort. Ran on an amoral FP approach.

Trump: Im going to wipe out an entire civilization Pope: Thats wrong. J.D Vance: Im not sure the Pope really understands "just war" theory...

Spontaneous fact check: St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village does, in fact, seem quite popular.

People are going to get injured if the refs don’t treat this UCLA-Texas game like a basketball game rather than a football game. We might actually get a basketball score too if they did their jobs.
English
Texas is hacking UCLA on every possession and getting away with it. Insane to be down with this whistle. Horrible shots.

@RGC3 last year’s collapse w/ a team that included Hidalgo, Miles and Citron remains a head scratcher

More evidence that Americans distrust each other. What can we do about this?

It’s not a coincidence that economic inequality is accelerating and democracy is slipping away as our society legalizes + commercializes as many vices as it can. These efforts go together. Key to fixing this is recognizing that true freedom and responsibility are interconnected.

@drantbradley I’ve seen high school soccer coaches heavily recruiting girls in 5th grade here in the DMV. Crazy.
English
This is crazy. Adults created an insane culture where middle-school students are posting nonsense like this. What are we doing?

Regime change without changing the regime = the Trump Doctrine. A cynical imperialist project of replacing a hostile dictator with a more compliant dictator from the same regime.

@GeneSohoForum @tonyannett Do you think any of them were married?

@RGC3 @tonyannett "In terms of the whole population, veterans were only a small fraction of all Americans, so even at the program’s peak around 1900–1910, Civil War pensions went to well under 10 percent of the total U.S. population."-Perplexity.

I would not valorize the 1870-1928 period. Yes, the second Industrial Revolution delivered growth, but this was not shared - income and wealth inequality rose. Workers faced low wages, long hours, no power, and dangerous conditions.
Gene Epstein@GeneSohoForum
Dante, setting aside the myth that "public ownership" prevents "corruption," 1870-1928 in US, there was virtually no welfare & labor unions negligible share of workforce + huge influx of immigrants, weighing on wages. Yet huge leap in living standards for broad masses of folks.
