Thanks for taking my joke literally and showing me a new search engine. That Google one seems pretty good. I’ve been using AltaVista and my BBS to find info but that’s way quicker.

What’s the easiest EU country to emigrate to?

Private schools often suck. Rich people aren’t smarter. They just have more money. There’s plenty of districts where the best public high school is way better than whatever private schools exist. Half the private schools are for weird religious groups or kids who got expelled.

There’s almost always good public schools in cities. That’s why there’s always loopholes that allow rich people’s kids to go to them.

And in colleges, Harvard isn’t better than UC-Berkeley or the honors programs at most state flagship institutions. It’s just older. (There have been studies that compared students who got into an Ivy League school and ultimately chose a public flagship and the Ivy grads only did better in the first few years after graduation. But then the public flagship attendees caught up.)

I thought we’d be getting Trumparito trucks everywhere but he really let me down and went back into politics.

Prices actually did go down last month according to the main index (CPI) the media uses. But there’s no one canonical number for inflation. https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/july-2013/cpi-vs-pce-inflation--choosing-a-standard-measure

I don’t know a fucking thing about border control stuff. But Trump never fulfilled his promise that under Biden, there’d be a taco truck on every corner. Where’s my tacos?!? I have to walk? It’s bullshit.

How will we ever figure out who has an STI without predictive A.I.? If only there were tests.

I don’t have any desire to defend hedge fund or VC billionaires so I’ll concede the point. There’s a reason San Francisco has NIMBY policies and New York City can’t elect mayors for shit.

The richest places in America are pretty solidly blue. A lot of rich people like good public schools and colleges, clean water, the arts, etc. and understand that taxes and charity are how those things are paid for.

Other rich people like gated communities and stopped reading books¹ when someone stopped assigning them. They’re the Republican rich people.

¹ Some will read a book about war or some shitty airport bookstore thing that’s 80% out-of-context quotes about how to be a leader.

That’s not what models say. It’s pretty much 50/50. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/

And all the fashion models I hang out with are saying the same things. The models agree.

A shot grazed his fucking ear. Every teen goth girl has taken more direct hits to their ear.

Plus, he doesn’t listen to anyone anyway. The only more useless part of his body that they could have hit is his hair.

The guy who shot Reagan was trying to impress Jodie Foster. It wouldn’t be unprecedented if it was motivated by something bizarre.

The new policy is that you need to have a minimum of 15 pieces of flair. It’s up to you if you want to do the bare minimum but Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair, okay? And a great smile.

I feel like this conversation is basically:

Against Biden: “He’s old as fuck and you’re in denial.”

For Biden: “I’m aware he’s old as fuck and I think you haven’t fully considered the legal, financial, and political ramifications of him dropping out at this stage in the race.”

Ad nauseam, forever. None of us know what’s going on. The reporting has been awful and full of motivated framing and anonymous sources. Half of it is the typical “Democrats in disarray,” which is such a beloved media topic that there’s been memes about it since before the internet. It’s ok to just not know when you aren’t privy to solid information.

Did you watch the press conference? He misspoke a few times but he had a command of the facts and it seemed fine. It was more coherent than any speech Trump has given since he started losing it.

I’m not at all happy we’re choosing between people whose brains are turning to mush but Biden’s press conference was normal enough. He answered the questions and knew policy details.

Las Vegas in general is a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat. Does it even exist without the Hoover Dam?

There’s a black and white photo of her as a whole adult at JFK’s inaugural ball. Maybe she should sit this one out. If her brain isn’t decaying due to age, it definitely is from spending her whole life in politics. (Her dad was mayor of Baltimore so “whole life” isn’t even hyperbole.)

I think everyone has sufficient evidence to arrest Clarence Thomas. I’m not even a lawyer and I think I could get a conviction on tax fraud for the tour bus loan that got forgiven.

JD Vance is a terrible person but it would be funny to see Marco Rubio change his address just to not get picked.

I thought this article would have a substantive critique but it doesn’t. Quilette is absolutely not a reliable source. If you’re mad Wikipedia doesn’t trust a magazine that puts a faux intellectual veneer on early 1900’s race science, that’s a you problem, my good bitch, not Wikipedia’s. And the Daily Mail is so unreliable, I don’t trust it for rumors about soccer transfers and which celebrities are frenching in Ibiza. It’s a tabloid, not a reliable source.

For the record, Wikipedia doesn’t have an agenda against right wing sources. There’s plenty on their reliable sources list. They have an agenda against tabloids, quackery, and pseudoscience.
