augustt··on Trump bans Alipay and seven other Chinese apps
Hmm I wonder if Kerry had conceded by then...
augustt··on Trump bans Alipay and seven other Chinese apps
You'll have no luck with this crowd. Surprising amount of literal traitors out here.
augustt··on Trump bans Alipay and seven other Chinese apps
How much more brazen can you be? Turn on the goddamn news today. Show me a list of democratic congressmen who voted against certification in 2016. Show me when Obama pressured his VP to toss electors. Show me a barrage of completely bullshit lawsuits. Show a phone call from the incumbent asking to miraculously find votes.

This "both sides" bullshit needs to stop.

augustt··on Dr. Levitt: Your words have power. Use them carefully
struggle session / getting called out for saying completely stupid shit. Potato / potato right? How will this lowly Nobel laureate ever recover.

If there's anything struggle session-like about this, it's you contorting the author's respectful opinion into some kind of public flogging.

augustt··on We should administer Covid-19 vaccines as fast as possible, not reserve doses
this one is also good https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-glo...

It is already illegal to modify the exhaust to make your vehicle louder. Does't seem to bother cops though.
augustt··on How to Start a Startup (2014)
Maybe I'm not seeing the right material but when I watch stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lJKucu6HJc from him, all I hear are mind-numbing platitudes. Having a "sensible business model" might have been my favorite piece of advice from that one.
augustt··on States bring action against Google under federal and state antitrust laws [pdf]
Cause some people might not be convinced he's out there fighting for the little guy, a week after trying to undermine democracy.
augustt··on The Tyranny of Merit
When you get off the waitlist it's common to receive substantially less financial aid. There might be some other causes too.
augustt··on When science was the best show in America
I did, and it’s pretty clear your gripes about social sciences carry over into taking cheap shots at a bunch of other fields.

2: it’s the literal cause of their death. Don’t know what you’re getting at with trying to compare that to how much science is dying. Sounds like incomparable quantities to me - be the good scientist you want to see in this world!

augustt··on When science was the best show in America
Can we can an update to your blog post lamenting the death of science, now that science is only reason we will have a vaccine for a virus that has killed a quarter-million people in the US? Could also expound on your interpretation of the LIGO data while you're at it.
augustt··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
At the rate law firms are dropping Trump, those cases next week will have to be argued by Rudy himself. And god willing, he'll give us some more press conferences as a bonus.

Read the Ukraine transcript and say it wasn't a flagrant abuse of power with a straight face.
augustt··on RIP Google Music
Pretty much everyone I know pays. College students split the family plan so its $2.50/mo. Pretty good considering that would only get you two songs on iTunes.

I didn't know about this - thank you. I am overdosing on schadenfreude.
augustt··on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.
Uh huh, because Republicans have a great track record when it comes to the war on drugs. We can whatabout all day
augustt··on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.
Would that slander look something like this? https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/06/18/nyregion/18nytrum...
augustt··on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.
I suppose they genuinely believe easier voting brings with it massive fraud. Of course no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise - keep in mind this is the same party that just put a QAnon supporter in congress.
augustt··on My Resignation from the Intercept
Because they never said that and you can read it on his blog right now...
augustt··on To protect democracy, journalists need to learn to think like hackers and spies
If there was any confusion: Fox "News", Comedy Central
augustt··on Reading too much political news is bad for your well-being
Guy is uncomfortable with a commentary magazine's commentary that evangelicals should not love a thrice-married pornstar-fucker because it's like, clearly liberal bias.
augustt··on Reading too much political news is bad for your well-being
New conservative gaslighting strategy detected: Trump is good because it's statistically impossible for him to be so bad
augustt··on Twitter and Facebook's action over Joe Biden article reignites bias claims

> Let things fail, so that the waste can get burned off

I guess the waste here is people who simply can not pay for food or housing? What a naive take.
