So angry voters rail against the "elite". But somehow the a bunch of billionaires, including the richest man on the planet, do not represent the elite. That is a peculiar form of logic.


The "Trump did not start any wars" messaging is odd. Neither Obama nor Biden started any wars, so it doesn't set him apart from them. They both inherited wars started during the Bush era. What is even more peculiar is that people seem to believe this sets Trump apart from them.


Paraphrasing Jack Nicholson's character in "As Good As It Gets" on the topic of C++: Think of a decent programming language, then take away reason and taste. Pretty much every aspect of C++ is awful. Most of all people inclined to defend C++.


Even if @elonmusk were found to have violated his visa terms while a student, and then lied about it on immigration forms, he would never be deported from the US. People are not equal under the law in the USA. It might be an unpleasant fact, but it is still an observable fact.


I have no doubt that the supreme court is going to find a way to make this go away. For the low price of a luxury vacation trip or five there is nothing that isn't for sale at the supreme court these days. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/52… #SCOTUS #Corruption #electionLaw


A month ago I posted a piece on FB predicting that AI would be the main driver for a more sensible approach to nuclear power. Turns out Google is doing what I predicted. blog.google/outreach-initi…


Can we please send anyone who thinks C++ is a good idea on a one way trip to Mars?


So Trump trying to convince people that immigrants are coming for their cats...is that a ploy to make childless cat ladies to vote for him?

Udemy courses ought to have a "Disable Instructor ADHD" checkbox -- to turn off the tendency of some instructors to suddenly going off on LONG tangents about completely different subjects.


random idea for @elonmusk If you want advertisers to come back...perhaps make the property a bit more attractive? I bet companies would be more enthusiastic about advertising with you if the place didn't have that Klan rally feel about it.


The reason Trump is obsessed with crowd sizes is that he is a TV personality. TV is all about ratings. Sadly, so is politics. Eyeballs tend to drive votes. As for lying about it, that's probably just some self-soothing thing he does when he is frustrated.


Back in my day the left/right division in politics did not involve what use of pronouns pisses people off. Then again, for people born after 1975 IQ scores have steadily been declining, so there's that.


Imagine an election where focus is on the substance of the candidates policies rather than who comes up with the cutest nickname for the other candidate. And then voters wonder why they get candidates that are terrible.


Unelected public servants that serve the state and not a party are a stabilizing force in a democracy. By politicizing these appointments you create a highly volatile society with a dangerous lack of continuity.


Seeing pig-ignorant americans get their panties in a twist because they are too uneducated to understand what they saw during the olympic opening ceremony kind of suggests one ought not remove the department of education just yet.
