Fun fact that deserves a retweet (or reX?) -
#Indiana football started in 1899. They now have six total bowl victories in program history. The dates: • Dec. 21, 1979 • Dec. 28, 1988 • Dec. 31, 1991 • Jan. 1, 2026 • Jan. 9, 2026 • Jan. 19, 2026 So the Hoosiers won as many bowl games in the last 19 days as they had

I became a millionaire in my 30s. No side hustles. No inheritance. No tricks. Here are 16 choices that made me rich. 1: I chose a high-paying career field (information technology), not liberal arts. 2: I cut out the losers. All you wanna do is drink? Bye.

Injuries in sports yes are a form of bad luck, but you can't make him the GOAT based on what he could've/should've done. Mickey Mantle is the greatest baseball player ever if it wasn't for the bad luck-injuries, having Whitey and Billy as teammates/drinking buddies. Right?

A good podcast here. This episode focused mostly on tariffs. Please be warned, the tariff situation is confusing and the host makes it more understandable.
April 5, 2025 edition of Views on the News from the Couch discusses Trump’s tariff proposals. A quick summary? They suck. https://t.co/7UPR7ibM2y

@ouraring - ... the stupidity of their circular requests and stall techniques is ridiculous. I am sure you are using AI and thinking you are brilliant. However, if you don't satisfy me this billing cycle I am dumping you. I honestly cannot believe it. 2/2

Joe Biden is completely past his due date. I get that Donald Trump is not the answer. America needs better than these two. There has to be someone under the age of 70 that can run this country. Right?

Talent plus effort in this case = $7.9 million. More importantly = 3 years doing what you love.

Twitter is not designed for me to go into detail but I am guessing you get the idea. We all know something needs to change to a) improve our political system, and b) create a fairer, better, more future oriented society, Do you think we can do it?

working with the other party. I heard Neal J Simon (copied here) give a fascinating speech this week and I am reading his book Contract to Unite America. Surprise, surprise, his conclusion is that our political system is broken. However he gives a 10 point solution to fix it.

will be better off with UBI. I get you probably think this is out there, but people like me have not been convinced. 2) there needs to be a major change in how we work politically to basically change our views on UBI, welfare as we know it, role of deficits, and in short

as to why our economics in the US look better after UBI. Not the simple, people are happy, work harder, etc. But, and I know you hate this, where does the money comer from, what goes away, and what stays. In other words, shoe the "roadmap" to get there and how we as a society

So UBT has merit, and Stephanie tells me the Federal Deficit isn't as bad as you think, but to lookout for inflation (I know there's more to #MMT than that). However, for all the UBI-ers what is the path? To me two things have to happen 1) there needs to be a compelling case

today on Freakanomics Radio which mostly advocated for UBT (Universal Basic Transportation). I thought the premise for UBT was good except for the part about why should wealthy people get free stuff? Here's the link- https://t.co/C2Yub83GHi
