Our regulatory bodies aren't functioning, and the people who would be subject to those regulations know it. US goods are dangerous

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

If a court ruled the National guard deployments illegal, and there’s an obligation to disobey illegal orders, shouldn’t they just go home?

My super modern regulatory plan is that any entity named for a thing from Tolkien has to publicly explain why Tolkien wouldn’t immediately throw it into Mount Doom
Tolkein continues to resonate. The new bank being set up by Palmer Luckey and backed by Peter Thiel is named Erebor after the “lonely mountain” in The Hobbit. This was also an interesting line in this rpt on the new bank by @tabbykinder.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/202d...

It's amazing how often stories about traffic violence bend over backwards to remove agency from drivers and ignore how infrastructure may have contributed.
Also, a pedestrian crash is when two people walking bump into each other.

I don’t know if anybody is still mad about it, but Pluto is smaller than the moon. It didn’t deserve to be a planet

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

It's really cool that some of the original sit-inners were present for the unveiling of this memorial.
