* a lot meaner.
As mean as it takes to force accountability.

Are they looking at state policy implications, or at personal choices?

There were Dixiecrats.
The parties weren’t as ideologically sorted for a period of time.

As a parent of two middle-school aged children I have not found it to be difficult at all to avoid abusing my children physically, emotionally, or sexually, let alone ‘near impossible’.
JFC!

Could it also be that his time is actually up?
Didn’t his work authorization/status/whatever only allow him to stay in government for a few months?

It was king-fu movie shit. Flipping and twisting through the air, then lying on the ground with a dragonfly between his paws.
He also liked to follow the neighborhood dogs on their walks, which was nice.

Reminded me of a black stray that lived around our apartment complex years ago. Most badass cat I ever knew.
He’s kill and eat stuff like squirrels, leaving only the tail, but one night I was walking through the parking lot and he jumped 7-8 feet in the air and grabbed a damn dragonfly mid flight!

Think I had that same shirt in 5th grade (mine was polo).
I dressed better in elementary school than I do now…

My first exposure to Huberman was the Andy Galpin fitness series, which I thought was great.
So I tried listening to a couple other episodes, and nah…

I was a mechanical engineering graduate, sitting next to aerospace graduates. I would have loved to have had Kermit speaking. (We had astronaut Marc Garneau.)

(Should point out that I am aware that in some ways, race is a social construct, with identities within ethnic/racial groups changing through time.)
comment in response to
post
But once you acknowledge there are any genetic differences between races or ethnicities to the extent we can (inaccurately) define them, that opens the door to all the racists who want to say any negative outcomes seen in particular racial or ethnic groups must be due to genetics, not sociological.

We’re able to define that group well enough that we can see they’re more likely to develop this particular cancer, and can screen for it more aggressively.
comment in response to
post
Another example: my former manger’s wife died at a young age from a cancer that her doctors said was much, much more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews.
I don’t think you want doctors saying ‘race is a social construct’ so we aren’t going to do anything with that known fact.

Elon, genius that he is, chose to team up with the party that has driven up the deficit every single time they’ve been in power for the last 45 years, instead of the one that has actually - at times - considered the impact of their policies on the deficit.

I get that there are a tonne of issues around defining race, but what are we to make of studies like these:

They argued that Venezuelans who hadn’t been arrested proved that those individuals were *even more dangerous*.
Like they are such criminal masterminds they could remain undetected.
Witch trial bullshit.

Is there reason to believe it was intended to be above-the-line?
Wouldn’t that be a bit unusual, and it may be corrected to be below the line?

I’m guessing that number actually underestimates the real cost of developing and implementing a *functional* dome that covers all of America.

Wish Aaron had posted a longer clip.
I *think* she’s being belligerent here, not ignorant.
Aaron has a habit of selectively pulling clips that don’t provide full context.

Was he being thrown by the low wage workers all being fired during Covid, creating that temporary spike from the change in labor force composition?

Dang, you beat me to pulling the wage numbers and now we’re both blocked.
A great loss.

From December 2019 to January 2025 non-supervisory (blue collar) wages rose 29.2%
During that same time period CPI inflation was 23.4%.
Real incomes were up, even though there was a fucking global pandemic in there!

It would be a hell of a feat if they could keep all 2000 BLS employees from saying anything about the administration cooking the numbers, if they were doing it.
And who said every part of the government is corrupted? Not me.
You seem to have some issues with reading comprehension.

Oh really.
And how did you measure their performance?

Have you ever looked at a Republican budget vs Democratic budget?
Democratic budgets don’t look like this:
