I go back and forth on S1 and S2 as favorites. S2 has such a wide range of character development and performances. It's kind of a winter tradition to rewatch.

Trump is fooked.

Moar gold.

I'm working on marketing it globally. Looks like Russia is out unless I can get Griner to hawk it there when she goes back to play?

This thread is a gold mine.

This seems to be the key to what I have read here and elsewhere: "But even conservative justices who had previously voiced some sympathy with the independent state legislature theory seemed frustrated with Thompson’s insistence on making aggressive arguments for legislative power instead of offering more measured interpretations. The real intellectual energy of the argument focused on just how the Court might sketch a narrower vision of the independent state legislature theory that could provide some level of increased freedom for legislatures without fully unleashing state lawmakers to do their worst. Conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, along with Chief Justice John Roberts, seemed notably interested in this approach." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/12/moore-harper-scotus-independent-state-legislature/672399/

If you look at a number of small studies, you find positive work metrics. Not all. If you look at Murray's arguments they infer even more social incentives for positive behavior. Of course, his model is wholesale replacement of the current system.

The Dunning-Kruger examples are out in force today.

I love those deep insights.

Old Charles tweeted this today:

Specifics on the rationale?

It's as expected. I don't do political stuff on FB, but an old friend posted on the topic and the idiots came out in force.

I sure wish she was still in the gulag. The U.S. would be so much stronger.

It's not a matter of why. It's a what until it isn't. If only we just ignore him. If only the media didn't keep him relevant. If only the government would leave him alone. If only the Democrats weren't obsessed. Etc.

So? None of that sh!t has happened yet.
