When I teach the Nuremberg Tribunals, almost no one gets the hidden 4th crime: conspiracy to commit any one of the other 3. This was an innovation straight from American law, and was how many of the political and propaganda officers were convicted of what were formerly 'only' military crimes.
This entire administration should be subject to RICO charges.

All right, so we already know that Bill Ackman is the dumbest motherfucker in finance in general (AND he donated $10k to Jonathan Ross’ defense fund) but let me put you all on game here about mortgage-backed securities and demonstrate why he’s idiotic here in specific: 1/??
Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

Prepayment is a really well understood phenomenon and there are out of the box models available on bloomberg that are pretty good on aggregate! (Less good if you’re playing in the IO/IIO market but those guys are math PhDs and rocket scientists so let them math)

surprise, the inside candidate hand-picked from the business school by the right wing board is a scammer who cooked his CV and systematically misrepresented credentials to impress idiots and politicals who know nothing about academic work

(The disastrous part of sports replay is the ontology)
I think replay review is bad for spectator sports overall, but at least it has a shared theory of epistemology
Every Sunday from September though January, tens of millions of Americans of every political persuasion sit down in front of their TVs under a universal agreement that if there's one camera angle that shows separation, there was separation

Another suggestion to make the U.S. government stop talking about Greenland is to rename it Epsteinland
Some unknown person came up with *the* obvious solution re: Greenland! 🥳
Dear Greenlanders, it works like this: you just keep the towel in place to scare off invaders, and no worries about German tourist hordes - it’s too cold for the Mallorca crowd.

There were two council blokes taking down the community Christmas tree nearby.
“You ok? Heard you scream.”
“Shithead splashed us.”
“They should put a sign up.”
“‘Don’t be a cunt’?”
“Exactly. Don’t be a cunt.”

NEW: China is testing a megawatt-scale airborne wind system that captures stronger high-altitude winds, potentially producing up to 10× more energy with 40% less material and 30% lower costs. It could also be quickly deployed to supply emergency power after disasters.

I suspect it’s a goal for these ghouls to make LGBTQ people feel besieged and isolated and friendless outside urban centers
you better know it’s not true. those of us showing up to public life in my mostly-small-c-conservative community are finding out: we have friends everywhere
