@politicalmath …Do you actually not understand the point or are you just pretending

The Interest Expense on US Public Debt rose to $775 billion over the past year, a record high. If it continues to increase at the current pace it will soon be the largest line item in the Federal budget, surpassing Social Security.

It’s so wild that they play tennis on so many different surfaces. It’s like if you showed up to a swim meet in France and they were like: “The pool is full of gravy. Deal with it.”

Years ago I had a co-worker who was in early and stayed late but you could never find him during the day. Someone flippantly suggested he probably had another job. It made me think: there MUST be some fully remote workers who are secretly "working" more than one job, no? 🤔

With the existence of @QuikTrip (amazing!), how can @CircleKStores even exist? Aside from them being filthy and needing armed security, I went to 3 @CircleKStores by me today just to get a fountain drink. Store 1: No CO2. Store 2: No ice. Store 3: Only size small cups. 🤦‍♂️

one of most underrated social skills is giving people in embarrassing situations an opportunity to save face. ideally it will be subtle and not even recognized as such by everyone else, but the person who feels embarrassed will remember it forever

The only thing both sides hate more than each other are moderates who can see how similar they actually are.

“If you only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.” Montesquieu said this 300 years ago. We’re still working on this one.

The most reliably funny person on Twitter:

2 - ...messaged 11/9, 11/22, 11/29, and 12/10 with no response. I then started a NEW email thread to hello@brooklinen.com and also got no response. Any help here, @brooklinen?

Missed this when it came out a year ago, but Ruy Teixeira, who previously championed the idea that demographic change would lead to permanent Democratic dominance, has now reversed that position pretty dramatically. https://t.co/DOheebiiC5

Me as well!

“You can find another carrier to fly…I’d suggest Spirit.” SAVAGE. More of this.

News flash: partisan hack doesn't realize that right to repair is EXACTLY about allowing competition in the device repair market, which right now is monopolized by manufacturers, like Apple for example. 🤦‍♂️

Oh, the comments. 😜

We evolved to desire sugar because it was a good source of energy, and relatively scarce. But when we learned to mass-produce it, our love for it suddenly went from asset to liability. The same is now true of information. Our curiosity, which once focused us, now distracts us.

OMG.

2- A company with $32B in revenue and they can't be bothered to test their FRAUD PORTAL, and in fact to use it, it requires anyone without a current employer (unemployed or retired) to have to enter FRAUDULENT INFORMATION in order to proceed.🤦‍♂️

Thanks @ATT, for making me CALL to cancel service on one of my 5 lines. Total wait time (including waiting 20min for a callback): 1 hour and 32 minutes, all so you can have a PERSON ask me "are you sure you want to cancel this line???" that was my NOW DECEASED FATHER'S. Classy.

Another classic.
