Or they’re watching the Orioles play.

Wouldn’t the material be that cats want to kill birds?

Tis a joke

About to sell mine if you’re interested.

Part of the problem is just how available it is. One doesn’t have to make a pilgrimage to a casino anymore. Just download an app. It’s advertised as a fun game to play rather than a highly addictive and crippling behavior.

Believe it or not, people talk to one another in their communities.

As I’ve heard one person say, “your right of way doesn’t matter if I run you over.” As a pedestrian, I always wait until I see the car slowing down before I step out in front of it.

Within the Green Party, she’s always present at the Annual National Meeting. She’s typically present at any major state-level conventions (e.g., NJ). A quick search shows she’s involved with Lifeline for Palestine and People’s Conference for Palestine. I also see she’s done at least one speaking event at a university (https://dailynorthwestern.com/2025/03/07/campus/jill-stein-talks-oligarchy-foreign-policy-at-political-union-winter-speaker-event/).

Unless you follow Green politics. She’s quite active all the time. People outside of the Green Party only pay attention when she’s on the ballot, though.

Always good to give more access to software. I have no use for it, but I very well could in the future.

I believe so, yes. Other to a the well-documented issues that arose from the information problem, Vivek Chibber has done some recent work on the incentive problems that also plague Soviet-style command economies. https://confrontingcapitalism.substack.com/p/why-soviet-style-planning-fails

Not only does it make sense from a global perspective, but it also makes sense economically. China would still be in the gutter if they didn’t have market engagement. The USSR, for example, failed dramatically at trying to have a strictly command-based economy.

I’ll wait and see which way the Democrats decide to go. If it’s another “come together, let’s bring back bipartisanship” deal, then it’s a waste to cast a blue ballot.

The same was said in 2024. And 2020. And 2016. And every election before that.

Word of advice: Don’t consume YouTube at all if you don’t want to support bad people.

I don’t see the evangelical brand of Christianity persisting into the future. It’s an odd lot anyway, but I think it’s the end of the rope.
