"...prediction markets, if they’re liquid and transparent, capture, in a way, all of the world’s information and every signal."

Many people really believe this, and not just about prediction markets, but markets in general. And that means everything has to be reduced to the market or sloughed off.

Judge Ellis says all these errors, no matter how minor, add up. "[A]t some point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything that [DHS] represent[s]."

E.g., a top officer testified protestors had shields with nails in them; there were no nails and mostly it was carboard.

/6 Also, it is the obligation of every lawyer who takes their oath and the Constitution seriously to shun from legal society every single AUSA and DoJ lawyer participating in this. Strike their names from every book and tablet, every pylon and obelisk, every monument of the rule of law.

Renewables and electrification are the way of the future and an incredible investment in lower costs, good jobs that can't be outsourced, and better health outcomes related to lower pollution. The only material prosperity linked to continued fossil fuel use is Mohammed bin Salman's.

Just a lot of "it's going to happen anyways so I might as well be the one to do it." I can't work that way. I need to really believe that my work is going to make the world better with some reasonable confidence

These records indicate that someone successfully impersonated the FBI in order to get me swatted. I was already aware this had happened but had to wait nearly a year to get the document that proves it. My reports to the Dallas Police Department about this have gone unanswered.

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her.
This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

My electricity when I lived in Texas was 100% wind/solar and it was _far_ more reliable than any of the natural gas options. It was also the cheapest option with a flat kWh rate that didn't require playing annoying usage games to keep the cost down.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices
