The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine. It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

Arrest them all! Destroy Antifa!

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2d

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Beyond the 'LOL' of your response you're not measuring the same thing. Learning in developing and developed brains is different and dependent upon both brain subsfrate formation and neurogenesis. Intelligence on the other hand and cognitive performance relies on processes that age improves.
