I started off mostly agreeing with you (but mad about it). After seeing the responses I am now 100% on your side because the people against this are UnHiNgEd.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

I prefer the term Honky-American.
Stop saying “Caucasian” when you mean “European white folk” because Caucasian is literally a racist term made up by people who claimed the world was only like 7000 years old

Super fun thing about measles: It can reset your immune system. Sometimes (not always, but sometimes) it can wipe your immune system's memory, leaving you vulnerable to diseases for which you were vaccinated.
As if measles wasn't bad enough.

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

Democrats win the Miami mayor's race for the first time in 30 years -- and by a double-digit margin over the candidate Trump endorsed.

Legitimately I'd probably take the JQA approach and use a law book. There's no point in irritating people by swearing in on a stack of Playboys from the 1980s or a copy of Origin of Species, fun though it might be.
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

I despise the term "disrupter", because most of the time it just means you are breaking shit. Tell me what you are making and I'll figure out what you are breaking.

I can certainly get behind an abstract political discussion of the form "Is birthright citizenship, as written, good policy?" but as a practical matter I can see who is on each side and I know what side I want to be on.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

I sort of like prediction markets as a way to see what people *actually* think instead of what they have calculated is politically the "right thing" to think, but I don't see why they should have any particular insight into The Truth.
This is the head of the company that CNN just partnered with, insisting that prediction markets are a great way to cut through the noise and determine what’s true and what isn’t.
No, really, listen to him. It’s actually that stupid.

Along with everything else, that's not what "the fog of war" means.
When pressed on whether he saw any survivors after the first strike, Hegseth said, “I did not personally see survivors.”
“The thing was on fire” and billowing smoke, he said, adding moments later, “this is called the fog of war.”
