Cricket has learned her lesson by Susan Collins

If Jeff Bezo spent $1 million a day, it would take him 475 years to go broke. Meanwhile 25% of Americans 50 years or older expect to never retire because they don't have the savings. We need to #SmashtheCap and expand Social Security.
Israel's choice: Rafah or Riyadh — There's no major Israeli leader today in the ruling coalition, the opposition or the military who is consistently helping Israelis understand the choice between being Middle East partner or global pariah By @tomfriedman nytimes.com/2024/04/26/opi…
German exports to Russia plus all of Central Asia and the Caucasus are a rounding error compared to overall exports. Any claim that stopping these exports will drive Germany into recession is nonsense. Germany - and all the other EU countries - should stop these exports outright.
Guy who bitches about the degradation and dislocation of the working man at the hands of modern technology, belittles a heroic anti-totalitarian dissident for not being as good at his original profession as his big tech made phone. It’s a choice, I guess.

Seems like an important story that isn't getting reported. Perhaps because there isn't a tidy oppression narrative to advance?

The issue isn't the right to "freely protest;" that's been happening for six months. The issue is the belief one can "freely" break laws with impunity. Also a lack of discipline among protesters, so that outright harassment, though not the organizers' goal, is widely tolerated.

Weird. In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote a law review article specifically contemplating criminal prosecutions for Presidents after they leave office, and noting that this possibility provides a check on a “bad-behaving or law-breaking” President. I guess he just changed his mind for some…

Post is absolutely ridiculous. If anyone refuses to stop breaking the law, they should be arrested. And accepting arrest is key to nonviolent civil disobedience. Speaking of which, when MLK led protests his disciplined followers weren’t calling for violence against anyone.

Notable moment in today’s @atlpressclub debate in the GOP race for Georgia’s open 3rd District: All five Republican candidates raise their hand when @russfox5 asks if they believe Trump was the “rightful” winner of Georgia’s 2020 race, which he lost to President Biden. #gapol
Not the heroine we deserve, but the heroine we need. 🫡🏴☠️
Some people want me to label myself as a parody account so that people won't mistake me for the real Jack Kimble. The problem with this is I am the real Jack Kimble.
Kristi Noem’s killing of her pet dog highlights America’s moral decline under Biden.
Being able to say this and not have it be hyperbole is the greatest privilege of all privileges. It’s better than being born hot or smart or wealthy. If this is something you can’t relate to, you can break the chain and be the dad that your kids will one day say about you:
My dad is the greatest human being I’ve ever met. And the immense privilege I’ve inherited in life by being able to say those words is something I don’t think I’ll ever truly be able to appreciate.
One of the most fascinating threads I’ve seen. Not least of which because I learned that the shade from one tree is equivalent to 10 AC units
It sounds like a boring topic, but air conditioning is more important than you realise. First: there are 2 billion air con units in the world and they account for 10% of all electricity we use. Second: it has revolutionised architecture and totally reshaped global politics...
I’m a scholar of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a longtime advocate for peace and for Palestinian rights. I have publicly opposed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, and its blockade and now destruction of Gaza. I support the rights of students and faculty to peacefully…
My four-year-old was watching CNN when he turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the nice lady from South Dakota shoot her dog?" And when I told him "Because the woke mind virus had turned the dog into a freeloader," he started crying.
It’s hard to compete with this
Good example of how resentiment driven politics truly crosses the ideological spectrum in different ways. In this case through enjoyment over revenge taken through the reassertion of authority
The moment a Professor of Economics realises she’s just like everyone else and will get arrested if she breaks the law. Yes you’re an ordinary person and will be grappled to the ground if you resist arrest. Sorry.
@MattWalshBlog (3) It's totally fair to support something like age verification for porn sites - but important to recall that most "research" on porn (or gaming) from organizations with names like Battle the New Heroin and FemDom Future is complete bullshit. Interestingly, as vs the frenzied…
If believing that Israel has a right to exist is what makes one a Zionist, than I am a Zionist. And doggone proud of it!
I actually think New York Times has done a pretty good job airing the full gamut of opinions on this issue, from moderates like Michelle Goldberg to right-wingers like Bret Stephens to a range of Palestinian voices. Ironically, Bari quit NYT then created an echo chamber.
Has The "Free" Press ever published a perspective that acknowledged that Palestinians or pro-Palestinian protestors have even a single legitimate point? Why does it emphasize the same talking points over and over to its audience? Why no diversity of thought, no opposing views?
I was sixteen on the subway. Doors about to close. A trio of girls was waiting on the platform for a train. After the door signal came, one calls out to me. "You know you're cute, don't you?" Doors close. I was walking on clouds for a month. It's been all downhill since then.
WOMEN: when was the last time you complimented a man? What was the compliment?
Film of President Eisenhower at Mount Weather during Operation Alert 1955 that I obtained from the National Archives. There is other interesting footage as well. youtu.be/3O35Pl3em10
Everything is stupid. This is Sharif Suad, an Arab/Palestinian citizen of Israel, killed last night by a missile fired from Lebanon by Hezbollah while driving his truck at work. To historians he will be an asterisk. But his family will mourn for decades. And for what? For shame.
@MHerskovitz @AbigailShrier This is what I’ve been grappling with as well and I hope more nuanced discussions emerge around these questions especially given the great amount of propaganda on both sides. However I believe one side has more than the other but can’t be sure.
@MHerskovitz @AbigailShrier Thank you for your thoughtful post.
Of all that's happened the past decade in politics, the two things that I find most troubling are: (1) the rise of Trumpism on the right; and (2) the rise of anti-Semitism on the left. Viva la moderation!
