When I have ever let β€œprobably being wrong” get in my way?

Have you heard from hari seldon?
No he answers very seldom!

Okay fine they’re mostly good and I take it back. SF housing court was just terrifying when I was a baby lawyer.

β€œThe clerk is weirdly hostile” is a sentence that doesn’t make sense. They’re all openly hostile.

I hate when my need to demonstrate masculinity through voting for warmongers comes into conflict with my need to demonstrate masculinity through large, gas-guzzling vehicles. I hate it!

I’m a little confused because the economists on my timeline are like β€œoh yeah we’re facing a generational energy crisis because Trump is a madman who started a war he can’t control” while the politicians are like β€œit’s important to make clear we support the troops until it all blows over next week”

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

I used to think we should add 25 justices. Now I think we add a baseline of 3 but add one more for each Republican who votes against it.

Drake Hotline Bling Meme rejecting dying in a war in Iran and celebrating dying in a war in Cuba. Both wars baffling, meaningless.

Lots of things other than California are states. Most of them have as many as one city in them.

South Dakota has 54% the population of Alameda County, but they’d never say a County Supervisor was qualified for a cabinet position.

Giving the dakotas statehood was great for passing reconstruction amendments but it’s time to end this farce.

I realize amending the constitution just completely untenable right now but there should be some kind of senate recall procedure. It’s actually really bad when an elected official just changes in office. Like, it’s anti-democratic. Legislators should reflect what they campaigned on.

It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom.

This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

They absolutely just looked at the senate seats up and picked the reddest one, right?

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

As an expert (recently read Chernow’s Grant and understood some of it), it seems like Scott’s plan was right but not sufficient with the political realities Lincoln faced. He needed good press.

USL Championship opener uncertain amid ongoing CBA dispute USL Championship opener uncertain amid ongoing CBA dispute

A five-hour bargaining session on Wednesday between the USL and USLPA - with a mediator present - resulted in some movement on key issues, but the two sides still seem far away from agreeing on a new CBA.

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."
