Oddly enough, as an Eastern Orthodox Christian, with a more traditional theology than Talarico, I agreed with every word of this. I'm kind of stunned by Talarico's theological sophistication, even though I disagree with him on many things.

Late to this fabulously written piece by @Will___lloyd. A great account of both Rotheram and the experience of being young and feeling hopeless.

Stratospheric level of journalism here. I mean the fact that she just called and the fact he actually picked up and gave a decent interview. These guys are at a different level I guess.
“I don’t want to be just sitting there for two years vetoing everything.”
President Donald Trump picked up a call from @DashaBurns on POLITICO Elections Live and talked to us about the blue wave and how he’s willing to work with incoming congressional Democrats.

Dating discourse has it that most romantic problems can be solved by simply being normal and actually liking members of the sex you're trying to date. The same lesson likely applies in politics: if you're normal and actually like your voters, you can beat most current weirdos.

“We cannot allow a situation in which people get to dictate what’s published with threats of suicide”

It’s going to be two more years of 700-word Truth posts, the Arch, the ballroom, and new names for rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Then he’ll just go. An 82yo pants shitter who nobody likes or wants around for speeches or rallies. In the early 2030s, he dies. That’s it.

Fox and Friends hosts desperately try to get President Donald Trump off the phone as he rants and raves about Sean Hannity's income. "Oh my gosh," Lawrence Jones mutters.

I also really dislike the potential for such technology to pick up private conversations. We teach lots of students from countries under dictatorships and there are human rights issues here.

I do wonder if sending all the racists and lunatics into Reform opens up space for the Conservative to be a moderate centre ground party. Esp in our generally split low % share and turnout elections.

This will be a harrowing watch

This might well rank as the most tone deaf speech ever delivered by a president on the eve of an election. Or maybe the most tone deaf speech a president has ever delivered full stop.

🚨 The graduate earnings premium is larger for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our analysis shows that poorer students have the most to gain from university, but they’re the least likely to go ⬇️

We are getting contacted by companies that want to buy the rights to our internal operational and workflow data, including internal emails. We of course aren't going to do this, even though the offer is on its face quite lucrative, because I have no interest in helping build a future in which humans become not much more than sources of data, and maybe eventually not even that. I'm not anti-AI by any stretch, but selling a large corpus of data on how experienced and knowledgeable people think, communicate, make decisions, etc internal to organizations and in private, trusted groups so that machines can replicate those activities crosses a line for me. I hope the rest of you business owners share this conviction. Like and repost if you do.

If confirmed, it would seem this qualifies for immediate impeachment and removal from office.

Most non-academics assume that our job prospects are like those of doctors or lawyers. Yet (napkin math) there are likely a similar number of tenure track political theorists in the United States as there are active NFL and NBA players.
