What if we had a reality show where DSA and MAGA competed in a Survivor-like showdown on a remote deserted island. And then we canceled the show after the first episode and didn't tell them. And forgot where it was.

The American mind cannot comprehend this. Neither can mine. The #worldcup is so weird. People get excited about 0-0 ties.

"If US growth has been so good for the last 50 years, why are voters so angry?" "Maybe because thinkers like you have spent the last 50 years telling them that growth was bad and they should be angry?"

With $1 trillion in net worth, Musk could give everyone on earth around 125 bucks and thereby solve all problems forever.

I know there are a lot of celebrities at the World Cup game, but having Russell Crowe coach the USMNT is a bit much.

Too bad it's not possible for the Knicks to win and the Knicks fans to lose. Ugliest fan base in the NBA.

Knicks fans cursed their team.

Being a Knick fan doesn’t mean being disrespectful to Spurs fans in any way…we get caught up during the games but we gotta show respect to our fellow humans…

The streets of New York after the Knicks lose 1 game

All those NYC celebrities spending 10s of thousands of dollars on tickets to watch their team lose.

a thucydides trap has a lead power in decline and a rising power that's challenging it. that's not what's happening with the united states and china. i explain what is with @ezraklein

The worst thing about the Knicks winning the championship is NYers are already such insufferable assholes. I don't mind the Knicks. I just wish they were in any other city than the City of Trumps.

Bernie Sanders claims seizing half of the AI stock would bring "trillions of dollars" in new govt revenues. I'm not sure how that would work. This equity would pay out as either: A) Capital gains - but Sanders wants govt to keep the stock long-term rather than gradually sell. So then it would produce paper gains, not cash revenue. B) Dividends - Most AI won't start paying dividends for many years once they are profitable and no longer ramping up huge investment costs. Even then, regular dividends won't be anywhere near "trillions." So even setting aside that govt. control would surely reduce the innovation and outside investment these companies need, I'm not sure how this equity could possibly bring "trillions" or even game-changing revenues to finance all the new spending.

“A family from Mexico arrives this morning legally has as much right to the American Dream as the direct descents of the Founding Fathers.” Bob Dole accepting the Republican nomination for President in 1996.

Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece. #NowYouKnow @IndianaFever #WNBA
