Okay, I crunched my own numbers from the Tennesse Secretary of State, and I'll explain why we need some nuance on interpreting the #TN07 special election results
I'd like to see a table of these same countries from 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022 as well. Is this shift left more left than from 2016-2020? Or are we in an endless cycle of incumbent disadvantage now?

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I went to a family event where I saw the same mom tell her kids not to touch anything, swoop in with hand sanitizer when they did, and watched her go to extreme lengths in the bathroom not to touch the faucet handle, door handle, etc. Was she wearing a mask? Of fucking course not.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Given the scale of Epstein’s trafficking operation, it's clear that many more powerful people were involved. My staff have seen a paper trail with their own eyes. Banks that helped enable him should be investigated. As should anybody involved in Epstein's trafficking ring.

This goes beyond a total compliance breakdown. It’s impossible to believe the decisions that led to the coverup of Epstein's financial transactions regarding his sex trafficking never reached the very top.

Evidence shows JPMC severely underreported Epstein’s suspicious transactions to the U.S. government for decades, potentially in violation of federal anti-money laundering laws.

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

Donahue can be seen in a number of other videos from October questioning people about their citizenship and detaining them.
One person stopped by him and questioned in Albany Park told us, "you could just tell he thought he could do whatever he wanted."
