Suppose you have a bag with 5 lbs of coins—all dimes, quarters, and half-dollars. How much money do you have? This sounds like a trick question, but it is not. There is an answer. (See next tweet.)

I saw a poll showing almost 6 out of 10 Israelis would prefer Donald Trump be elected president. Something like 70% of American Jews are voting for Kamala Harris. It's OK to just admit these are two populations that are diverging more and more.

Tiago Rech was the only fan at his team's away game in 2012. In 2014 he became the club president and in 2020 Santa Cruz won the FGF cup and classified for Copa do Brasil for the first time in the history of the club.

What’s particularly outrageous about this is that a critical reason the tape of Trump confessing to sexual assault on a live mic didn’t “move the needle” is *the strategic leak of the Podesta inbox*, which the media covered obsessively!

That thing where I have drafted but not yet sent a somewhat controversial email, and keep looking in my inbox wondering why nobody has responded to it yet.

the thing is that college admissions and standards have also massively risen in the last seventy years. a phd used to be basically a book report. even rich kids have to write complex admission essays these days, they can just pay someone to do it for them
