@JamesSurowiecki @clairlemon @asymmetricinfo I like that there is less censorship, but the algorithm takes me to shills for Trump and Musk.

The sad reality is that "shaping elite thought" is an aesthetic preference, not a business model.
Only Fans has zero cultural prestige yet it makes about $US37M per employee. Yet when Twitter was the front page of the internet, it rarely turned a profit.

This is correct. Twitter's long-term value is the perception, and, ultimately, the reality, that this is the front page of the news writ large. It should be the place where writers, editors, producers, bookers, policymakers, and artists *have to be* to remain in the discourse. If it doesn't deliver on this at a high level, it will become another irrelevant Boomer slop-feeding machine like Facebook. Generates cash, yes, but doesn't shape elite thought, which is Twitter's most valuable function, and, presumably, why Elon bought it.

@CodyBearCox @allenanalysis @grok Is there any logical inconsistency in gauging support for Trump among self-identified Trump supporters (MAGA)? 🤔
English
@allenanalysis @grok What is President Trump's approval rating among MAGA voters?
English
Trump today:
“No, I’m not losing MAGA. MAGA loves what I’m doing!”
Trump’s net approval: -18.
With independents: -45.
Worse than Nixon at Watergate.

@BulwarkOnline @johndned We don’t have an extradition treaty with Venezuela, do we?

Trump: "I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this I can got to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take long. I'm good at language. I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president."

NEWS: MAGA influencer Scott Presler says he will go to Texas to help challenge Sen. John Cornyn in his primary if the SAVE Act is not passed.
MAGA believes Presler could be the key to winning over Texas voters.

@ReasonedVoice74 @3YearLetterman No, he’s a 3 year letterman (in high school) who sad existence’s high point was when he was 15, and I’m believe he has not mentally progressed since his letterman days. Now he coaches high school & maybe gets gay w/ his students. He lives a sad life so go easy him, he’s a dolt.

There will be no red state secession or national divorce. One side is going to win and destroy the other as a political force. That’s how this is going to end, with one worldview being explicitly sanctioned by the state, and the other being criminalized. You can determine through your actions which worldview will meet which fate, but you cannot determine whether or not this is going to happen. It will. There is no pluralistic future that lies before us. No libertarian dream of permanent state neutrality where gay race communism gets to live side-by-side with traditionalism. One of these worldviews WILL triumph over the other.

@GregWhitak43995 @ptr_to_joel This is the correct answer, although I will say that a good scrum master will have some facilitation tools in their toolbox to do things like conduct effective retrospectives, etc.

@ptr_to_joel Scrum master is not a job. It is a role a team member plays for a sprint while they do their real job

President Trump’s executive order on college sports is below. Three key provisions: 1. Five years of total eligibility 2. Only “one” free transfer without sitting. 3. No players can return from pros. Goes into effect on 8/1. Common sense & solid: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
English
@BadgerNewsNet @PeteNakos It definitely should get struck down, but it won’t happen immediately, and the administration will appeal it as high as they can possibly go, burning a year or two in the process. That’s how they’ve done absolutely everything this term.
English
@JamesRNail @PeteNakos All this gets struck down in court.
English
Couple of notes:
+ Creates a situation where NCAA members will have to follow Trump's order or ignore previous judicial decisions.
+ A key sticking point will be whether the president has legal authority over NCAA eligibility rules.
"It's terrible for the schools, do they ignore the presidential order or a court order?"

@BeachInSC @PeteNakos Does he have authority to forgive student loans?
English
@PeteNakos He has legal authority over student loans and so in turn, universities.
English
@BadgerNewsNet @PeteNakos The problem comes when he then abuses his power and retaliates against those schools by withholding federal funding. Then the schools sue, they win, everything is screwed up and in a state of flux and chaos for two years while that plays out. Trump 2.0 in a nutshell.
English
@PeteNakos They ignore the president's order.
Not hard.

@ChristianHeiens couldn't be that all those things are incorrectly regarded in your own mind; must be that the Constitution failed to "protect you".
English
Ever notice how the Constitution was utterly powerless to stop everything from COVID lockdowns to the explicitly anti-White/anti-Male DEI regime of the last dozen years, but it's now constantly being invoked to defend everything from giving citizenship to the children of illegals and CCP spies to sending unlimited sums of taxpayer money to the Progressive NGO complex?

So many of the people in the React ecosystem are controlling inputs unnecessarily. I know it's not my fault because I only talk about it once and it doesn't even get its own exercise. It's a portion of another exercise. hooks.epicreact.dev/exercise/01/02…

No, they don't. And anyone telling you any different is wrong.
In the Good Friday liturgy of the Catholic Church, there is no Mass celebrated.
Catholics hold a special service called The Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, usually around 3 pm with 3 main parts.
Holy Communion is distributed using hosts that were consecrated the night before at the Holy Thursday Mass.
So, while communion is given, the Eucharist is not consecrated that day, which is why it is not technically a Mass.

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.
Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. huffpost.com/entry/news-liv…

Rep. Scott Perry: "They slit the throats of young women on trains, they stab elderly, or midterm -- not midterm -- but middle-aged women in in in Virginia at a train station, uh, they shoot people uh you know a women in college in the back of the head. That's who Democrats stand with."

@aakashgupta Does the aerodynamic structure of the M&M not make a difference? I’m no physicist or anything, but it seems like an M&M, traveling along its flatter axis, is pretty aerodynamic.
English
The physics on this are worth running because "thousands of feet" sounds terrifying until you remember that height stops mattering after a few seconds.
An M&M weighs about 0.9 grams. Terminal velocity is determined by the ratio of mass to cross-sectional area. For something that light and that round, terminal velocity lands somewhere around 10 to 15 mph. A raindrop hits you harder.
J.B.S. Haldane wrote the best explanation of this in 1926: "You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes." The square-cube law means small objects have proportionally more surface area relative to their mass. Air resistance wins.
Whether you drop an M&M from 100 feet or 10,000 feet, it hits the ground at the same speed. It reaches terminal velocity in seconds. After that, gravity and drag are in equilibrium and the candy is just floating down at jogging pace.
The content is dumb for a dozen reasons. Physics danger to bystanders is not one of them.
Rick D@RickD_GK
This can turn out to be really bad, seriously. Those M&M's falling thousands of feet to the ground can cause some damage, especially if they hit somebody. People need to use their brain a bit more before doing things for content... 🤬
