I think that's a great deal for Sam. But we definitely need a better offensive line if we're going to do anything this year.

This doesn't remind me of Visual Basic. It reminds me of beginning programmers who don't think they need to write tests for their code because it "seems to work". When it eventually doesn't work and they can't fix it no matter what they try, there is nothing they can do short of going back in time

That playbook worked with Sodom (whose actual crime was vanity & not caring for the poor, according to Ezekiel), so I guess why not try it with Jezebel too?

Democrats just don't get how to be the minority party. They should honestly pay attention to how Republicans have done it in the past. Shouting is actually their job right now.

If the situation were reversed, Republicans would be shouting this on every news channel and even running ads making this claim.

This reminds me of Jesus’s saying that the eyes are the lamp of the body — that feeding doom and gloom to your eyes all day fills your body with darkness

I'm with you on this. The fact Evangelicals could radically pivot to "life begins at conception" in the 1970s, telling 1900 years of Christians that they were all wrong and ignoring the plain text of the Bible that says the opposite, suggests this isn't about reason and arguments.

Seems like not enough people are aware of the fact that the teachings of Jesus play absolutely no role in the beliefs of some prominent Christian denominations. All that matters is Jesus's birth, death, and what Paul (who never met Jesus) thought that means for salvation.

Twitter's bonds are reportedly being sold for 10 cents on the dollar. US government bonds next I guess.

SMH at subtracting a real yield from a nominal one. I'm sure the situation looks pretty similar if you use the TIPS yield, so why not do it right?

Could be worse. Someone could make them listen to the words of this guy called Jesus. That would be very uncomfortable

Do you even have to persuade? Does the right try to persuade? Just have a message and repeat it over and over and over again in front of voters. (And right now, "corruption" looks like a good message.)

Maybe this "every accusation is a confession" point applies more broadly than just to Trump...

I only watched the show because we actually live in Twin Peaks, but it was really one of a kind.

I've been wondering how many government services could be done via state compacts instead of being federal. National defense, probably not, but could you do single-payer as an opt-in collection of states?

"Trump is the anti-Reagan" seems both accurate and under-appreciated

I wonder if what we've seen with Big Tech will spread to Big everything... The embracing of liberal ideals you heard in so many earnings calls over the last several years doesn't seem to have helped with Democrats, who consider "anti Big" a core principle (and ignore the R-tilt of small businesses).

Seems even more clear that VCs would turn against them. Wouldn't 8 years without Big Tech acquisitions basically guarantee all their 10-year funds would fail?

You're a stronger man than I... I'm responding to my outrage at the pushback by re-reading articles like this one about how Khan losing in court with her "novel legal approach" that a merger would "upset future competition" was a win because of the deterrence effect: www.npr.org/2023/03/07/1...

It's weird how, today, it was just "a couple modest skirmishes", while last year, Lina Khan was "the woman making Big Tech tremble": www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/a...
