Ugh. When you decide not to crib from Bernie the reasonable aspects of his policy priorities but rather his regrettable and problematic way of talking about them.

A bottom-edge-of-normal person would have as their very, very worst professional moment insisting on television that Santa Claus is white - "he just is" - and that people who are not should be barred from portraying Santa Claus.
For Megyn, doing that was just another Tuesday.

ROFL I've never seen this - who is Ted and was Cate in 21 jump street?
Please don't conflate my confusion with confusion over the fact that it's clearly awesome, whatever the facts about these other things.

I assume you mean they misrepresented it as being by peer review? Then that would be bad of course.
If it was transparent, less of an issue, provided it wasn’t some pay for play setup.
Far too much labor goes uncompensated. So, cautious, but in principle allowable and in some ways preferable.

The detail I find most ‘woah’ about this is the idea that people ‘putting up with’ your toxic shit is a reasonable thing to aspire to.
Like there’s over-caring what people think, and then there’s going way too far the other way.
I’m choosing to believe this is just rage bait.

As a constituent, I’m telling you that I’m gonna need a LOT more than 5 words, a comma and a period for any of you to have any credibility on this. I don’t believe for a second that the ‘gang of 8’ are on their own. Explain yourself, or get off the stage and make room for someone with a strategy.

Negotiable after all, eh?
I am open to hearing what's changed. Wondering why TF you aren't capable of explaining (or hiring someone to explain) it to us.

Dunno if it’s having younger sisters, but that line was a punch in the gut, and my eyes watered. I guess siblings probably know.

People replying he’s insincere: Yes. That’s the issue.
Indeed the insincerity is a reason the delivery is effective.
We’re trained to nod along with corrupt salesmen and abusers.
If his actions were actually consistent with this teaching, we’d yawn and call him a scold.
And so would Tapper.

I think about this often. It just stuck in my head, that either RD made it up (pathetic), or didn’t (worse, it being a shitty thing to publish, never mind with identifying details).
Selfishly, this was good for me. I was aware RD was a fucking clod of a prick long before others had to learn it.

You mean rote task. But yes, we now have machines that with infinite training can do arbitrary word-ordering tasks better than a totally naive human.
Also, we have billions of machines infinitely better and faster than any human at complex rote tasks. No one confuses this with reasoning tho.

Team game w/ individual heroics are spotlighted. Accessible basics, deep strategy. Defense has the advantage, so to score one has to overcome steep odds. Periods of stillness punctuated by feats of striking athleticism, grace, power. Similar rhythm to soccer or figure skating in this respect.

Driving. Giant trump flag on a truck up ahead. I say to my kid: can't they give it a rest? I mean, you don't see me flying a FUCK trump sign all day, do you?
We come alongside, and to our shock, it IS an enormous Fuck trump flag, like the one in this video. First one I'd seen. Had to allow it 😂
