    Only one of the major players in the Star Trek universe had wifi and carried an always on connection back to their social network. We are the Borg.

    Sage Steele

    Accountability may scare you, but it doesn't scare me. She stepped way over the line and there were consequences for that, it's how functioning societies work.

    You're right, cancel culture is out of control.

    Shooter to retire

    It's worse than that. Free chess apps that can run on an average smartphone can beat the best humans. The best chess programs are far ahead of those.

    Masked Morans

    The NYPD officers' union threatened that more than 10,000 officers would quit over a vaccine mandate. 34 followed through. I'm not particularly convinced by the handwringing that this will decimate police forces.

    Why are parents pissed?

    I didn't insult his daughter. He said he needs to protect his grandchildren from her, that's she's constantly frazzled, and that her children don't miss her when he takes them away for a long period of time. Just seemed like a strange flex to show off how good a grandparent he is by belittling...

    Why are parents pissed?

    You seem really proud of having raised a child to become a poor parent.

    Why are parents pissed?

    Some of the answer to this question lies in defining the goals of the education system. I think if the goal is to push the top 5% as far as possible, then tracked systems probably do the best at that. I'd argue, though, that we should care a lot more about the floor than the ceiling. I'd trade...

    Maybe one of your college educated friends can explain correlation vs. causation. Then again, maybe they can't.

    Taxing unrealized capital gains. Are Democrats really this stupid?

    "Unrealized" is a bit of a misnomer in these cases. There are financial vehicles available to the ultra-wealthy to borrow against those "unrealized" gains, use that money to do things, and not ever have that loan come due. They're turning those gains into cash in a way that avoids any taxation...

    Covid risk

    It's going to be 68 and drizzling in Davis, CA. I assume parents whose children are likely to melt in such conditions are free to keep them home, personally I wouldn't give in to fear about their chances of getting slightly damp but everyone gets to make their own choice.

    Look what Biden and the IRS are up to

    Here you go: I believe no church should have tax-exempt status, regardless of their political participation or lack thereof. I believed that before, and seeing churches be political in a way that more aligns with my personal political beliefs doesn't change that.

    Is it normal for a Cabinet Secretary to take off 60 days on Paternity Leave?

    I'm fascinated by the overlap of the "problems in the black community come from fathers not being around and involved" crowd and the "paternity leave is for sissies, get back to work" crowd.

    Trump attacks (deceased) Powell, Is Trump brain dead or racist, or just that corrosive?

    I'd add that a lot of people had drastically lower discretionary spending last year which means more flexibility to not take a job out of desperation. My wife took a year off from work to stay home with the kids and we still saved more than we had the couple years before that, which meant that...

    99.2% of new COVID deaths in America are unvaccinated.

    An island is defined as a mass of land surrounded by water that's smaller than a continent, and Australia is a continent so by definition can't be an island.

    Supply chains

    The economics haven't, but there was a forcing function on realizing what those economics were. Many people in that situation don't have the financial literacy to truly understand that tradeoff, in the last year and a half many of those people in the service industry were laid off or furloughed...
