You can quibble about methodology but it’s not even close. We underinvest in people (education, healthcare, public safety, housing) and that’s why we are behind not just most of. Europe but also Canada, Japan, and South Korea. Lithuania better watch out though, we’re right behind them!
There are many things in Palantir’s manifesto that are bonkers but one that’s demonstrably incorrect is the assertion that the US offers people more upward mobility than any other country. The World Economic Forum studied this in 2020. We came in 27th.
What is happening here.
While this is not really what you want a president doing at a time of crisis, given the current occupant of the office maybe it’s for the best. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
It’s interesting how in some pictures they seem to have touched up his face but in many others he looks like an oily rag.
If you are going to ChatGPT for “inspiration” for your coffee order you should reconsider some basic life choices you’ve made.
Blows my mind that I’m seeing news about Trump’s threat to fire Powell that never mention that Trump does not have the authority to fire Powell. This is journalistic malpractice from our supposed major news outlets.
Sorry, no. It certainly can be performative and childish but if a party can’t come up with a minimally acceptable candidate for a significant number of their typical voters, the party leaders are responsible there.
Thank you.
Apparently Meta is building an AI version of Zuckerberg to interact with staff.
What was her reasoning? The video ends just as she’s about to explain it, it sounds like. My first reaction was “that’s ridiculous” but I’m surprised to hear this from her and would like to know why she thinks this.
Remember when Gmail was really good at spam filtering, unlike now, when it puts the most obvious spam into your inbox?
Ok, watch out for that asteroid though.
But in case it’s not clear enough, I’d never take that risk in Pennsylvania or Michigan.
What if a planet killing asteroid hits. I live in Maryland. The asteroid is more likely than a republican winning the state. (And I didn’t say I was implacably opposed to him. It’s early days.)
I’ve never been big on third party protest votes, but if you live in CA it is something you can do that isn’t costing anybody the presidency. Same in MD, where I live, or MA or DC or many other places. I am open to doing it in 28 if the Dems don’t get their shit together.
Now we are going to block the strait? Which wasn’t our problem a few days ago? And the ceasefire is not a ceasefire? Even though we achievers all our goals? Is there a war room somewhere with a white board to help his loyalists keep track of the hourly shifts?
… it’s really important to document your wishes. If you don’t have a partner or family member to manage things when you die you can ask a trusted friend. Or just make sure someone know who the lawyer with the docs is, or have a clearly marked envelope with them in your home in case EMTs are there.
If the use was for training military doctors, there’s a reasonable argument that it falls into the assumed scope of the program. The article mentions the training was at ucla medical center. That said…
Well this is pretty horrifying.
Maybe they should have written some of these things down.
Oh god yes yes
A lot of republicans have avoided having to face their greatest fear tonight - standing up to Trump.
Hot take: if the NY Times is rewriting Trump’s social posts to make him sounds less nuts, it’s not a newspaper and if you work there are think you’re doing journalism you are quite mistaken.

Is two days late.
It should be legal to throw rocks at cars blocking the box.
I know we have largely lost our ability to be shocked but the corruption of the current administration is really breathtakingly aggressive.
I watched it all unfold in the news. The country has forgotten that Reagan was a lot like Trump, but not so stupid. The man was a snake. The hostages and then Iran/Contra stuff is pretty appalling and should have destroyed Reagan’s reputation.
