The quality of people hired by #ICE is evidence for why Star Wars Stormtroopers were such terrible shots.

In my world (energy policy), to a first approximation, *everyone* underestimated how bad Republicans would be this time around.
So my basic question is: has anyone updated their priors? Revised their analytical categories? Learned anything from this? Will do things differently next time? Anyone?

The US land area is not inherently conducive to intellectual development. It is the minds that were drawn here with the promise of freedom and opportunity.

The world's center of finance is New York, and the world's internet economy is centered in Silicon Valley. The lion's share of the world's top universities continue to be in the US, and all three centers flow together. The US is really the intellectual basis of the planet

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

ICE and DHS are separating young children from their parents and disappearing them.
6 year old Yuanxin was separated from his father after a routine immigration check in on Nov. 26th.
Yuanxin's father was not told where his son was being sent.
Yuanxin'swhereabouts are still unknown.

Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.

I was told the horseshoe theory wasNT real!
Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.
This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.
