Once a technocrat, now a restorationist. My Political Compass shows I’ve grown more culturally conservative and more free-market oriented. Why? Because government didn’t just fail to solve big problems—it joined the war on Enlightenment ideals.

it's easier on my brain if I just pretend this is 4D chess
So to sum up: - Plan leaks - US confirms plan real - (Some) senators condemn plan - Senators say Rubio calls them, denies it’s real plan - White House denies that denial - Rubio says yes it is real starting plan

I'm sorry, what?
This is blatantly false. As Secretary Rubio and the entire Administration has consistently maintained, this plan was authored by the United States, with input from both the Russians and Ukrainians.

"Dear Ukraine, please accept this Russian proposal by Thursday or we will cut you off xoxo USA"
Following several days of outrage from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress over the 28-point peace agreement for Ukraine, claimed to have been written jointly by senior officials from the U.S. and Russia. Republican Sen. Mike Rounds announced tonight, after speaking with

BREAKING: After talking to @SecRubio, @SenatorRounds announces that the 28 point plan was a Russian document, not a US document. Full @SenatorRounds: "@SecRubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a

This guy is a clown, which is probably why he isn't very funny.
This is fucking wild. I’m hoping this isn’t true but if it is, they should know that taking out Candace Owens will turn all of us into Candace Owens.

This is how our lefty city council intends to turn private properties into affordable social housing in NYC. The “Community Opportunity to Purchase Act” requires property owners to wait 6-months to “give right of refusal” to nonprofits to buy the property. Another law to

Progressives want to “decommodify” residential real estate by turning it into “social housing” run by politically connected nonprofits.

This is like putting new suits on the Mob and calling the problem fixed. There should be no sidewalk sheds at all. It is a city-sanctioned protection racket that costs New Yorkers billions per year. Stupidity like Local Law 11 is what makes New York unaffordable.
A new era in public space is about to begin in NYC. Say goodbye to the Green Monster sidewalk sheds (aka scaffolding). They will now be replaced by 6 different lighter, more open, innovative designs. 🧵

Date with a crack pipe
I was on a date last night and we were back at my place hanging out in the living room and I heard rummaging outside in the street through my window. Looked out and say two junkies rooting around in my car. Naturally I opened the window and yelled at them....

More evidence that the Trump/Witkoff “peace plan” for Ukraine came straight from the Russians - it uses Russian syntax. https://t.co/9pEEdUjzDA

The only thing worse than right-populism is left-populism.
Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

"We are socialists" —Democratic Socialists of America Constitution, Article II
BREAKING: The House passed a resolution condemning socialism, with many high-profile Democrats voting in support of the measure. Republicans put this forward on the day Trump is meeting with Mamdani. This is NOT a condemnation from Democrats on Mandani, because Mamdani is NOT

A shocking part of the Trump–Russia "peace plan" isn’t just what it does to Ukraine. It is what it quietly does to Poland. Buried in point 9 is a sentence that looks harmless: European fighters will be stationed in Poland. On paper, that sounds fine. In practice, though, it

A sociology paper on gender inequality submitted in September 2020 has the credibility of a horoscope written by a golden retriever.
@AdamMGrant With a team dominated by sociologists and gender-studies researchers, the study's conclusion wasn't discovered—it was baked in. Even ChatGPT can see it was designed in a way that virtually guaranteed a residual "gap." This is ideology masquerading as rigor.
