MAGA has won me over. We *should* Make America Great Again. I hereby advocate for a RETVRN to the same tax rates we had in the 50s when we were at the height of our greatness.

I’m very skeptical of the ultimate value of AI but I’m not as much a pessimist as many on the Left reflexively seem to be; I think LLMs are actually incredibly useful for certain tasks especially in science/engineering, provided the user knows what they’re doing and how to verify information given.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Online chess pro tip: go into the Lichess lobby and look for custom time controls where people have added increment vs what you would get with a standard "quick pairing" time control (e.g 5+5 rather than 5+3), in my experience, these people are not good at time management.

People broadly hate it when you do stuff like rename geographic entities. They don’t give a shit whose gulf it is they just want to call it the same thing they always have!
