Just gonna re-up this Nate Silver book review thread. I cannot begin to imagine what Nate finds so objectionable about bluesky. bsky.app/profile/dave...
Standing outside the supermarket asking people if they want to trade groceries
NATE SILVER: (being violently thrown sopping wet out of a front-loading washing machine soaking wet, fully clothed, his glasses are still on but fucked up looking and he’s clutching his phone and you can tell he has DraftKings open) normal people,
Doesn't even have to be that big of an investment. High impact tutoring is remarkably cost effective for fighting learning loss.
Oh no! I’m so sorry
He was perfectly happy to give them jobs on earth while denying them the ability to be fully Mormon and experience the afterlife. And again, I suggest reading up on their teachings about black people, this is not a 2025 standard they were violating
How so? How familiar are you with their teachings on black people from that era? And the main point is that the only reason we give them a pass is because it’s a religious belief. But anything can be a religious belief, it’s not a trump card
My only inappropriate piss was in the closet of my drug dealers roommate. Nitrous and alcohol not a good mix
Writing a book blindfolded
Ending qualified immunity and making departments carry their own liability insurance to pay for their brutality settlements
Showing Trump the church scene in There Will Be Blood “There’s a Trump Tower Nashville”
If I ever said anything as cringeworthy as blueskyism I hope my friends would kick my ass
I think it was a mistake in league translation or something like that, he figured it out a while later but the damage was done. He was projecting Weiters to be the best prospect in baseball
Sorry Jason I could have kept your secret but that shit was funny
My dorm roommate was not really a party guy, and then one night he went out with some friends, had like 4 Mikes Hard Lemonades, came back and pissed the bed. I didn’t even notice but he woke up and said “oh no I pissed the bed” and I said dude you shouldn’t have said anything I’m telling everybody
Poor Matt Weiters. Became a referendum on analytical projections and had all the pressure in the world on his shoulders because of Nate Silver’s spreadsheet error
It’s important to know the specifics of the faith, and what their restrictions actually did. It wasn’t just problematic rhetoric, they were denying people the core part of the faith that was required for the afterlife. It didn’t matter if he didn’t agree, the restrictions meant they were denied
I am very familiar with his history, I didn’t come to this stance trivially. Black people could not enter the temple, and could never be fully Mormon, particularly in the afterlife which is what matters. He was ok with that and that diminishes anything he did or believed about their time on earth
None of that matters as long as he stays a member. We could call the klan a religion too, and it would not absolve anyone of being part of it. Going along with blatant anti-black discrimination unequivocally rules out any civil rights bonafides
You absolutely cannot be a civil rights champion while belonging to a church that teaches that and teaches that it is gods will
Believing and/or staying a member of an organization teaching that as the divine word of god. Staying is indistinguishable from believing in my eyes. There are dealbreakers
I am never going to give anyone the benefit of the doubt for believing god thinks I am a lesser human being
If the church said that the child abuse was fine and god actually wanted them to do it, yes
I think that is being far too accepting of heinous beliefs simply because they are religious. In this case it being religious makes it even worse: they claimed it was gods will, and that he told church leadership this directly. This is the thing he devoted his life to
He internalized it enough to stay in the church when they said god wanted them to discriminate against black people.
Dissatisfaction is nowhere near sufficient when we are talking about that level of racism. He didn’t leave
He had absolute power, to not be a part of the religion, and not doing so is a permanent stain on him. There are red lines that shouldn’t be crossed
Generally speaking we give people too much leeway when something is considered a religious belief. That organization saying god wanted them to be racist and then expecting us to not judge the adults who were ok with it is a bridge too far for me
That even into his 30s he was ok with blatant institutional racism, and I’ve never seen a proper reckoning for that. It doesn’t mean he was personally racist, but I have very harsh judgment for anyone who was ok with that as an adult
Romney was 31 when his church stopped being openly, blatantly racist towards black people. The church said that it was gods will and that he told leadership to stop asking him about it
Median voter tbh
5’11” Blackshear you say? 🫡
My son is starting to show some small flashes of independence (2nd grade tomorrow!), but one thing he still does is snuggle up like I’m the coziest pillow ever when it’s time for bedtime stories every night, and I will never take a single one of them for granted, it’s the best
I was 21 when it came out and they were mostly viewed as cringe initially, it took a little while and then they developed a big following in indie world
NBA August is a lovely time, the one break of the year and Minnesota starts cooling off, but man this one went too fast. Back to the grind tomorrow
Yeah they did go from not cool to cool. When they first blew up people didn’t like the singles and they were associated with the Matchbox 20 et all of the time. Then everyone heard the rest of the record
Looks like the Minnesota assassin when he had the mask on
We are never going to escape the 2016 primary and 2020 school closures. We will re-litigate them until we are all dead

Pro-tip: If you're having trouble figuring out the proper mix for the bass, tell your producer/engineer to listen to classic album Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub and mix it like that
I was personally offended
There's gotta be a "I haven't seen a Bulgarian destroy so many lives since...." Dennis Miller joke in there
NYT trying to blow up your knees, what is this form
August 5x5
I think J is always walking around with a Fender Jaguar looking to drop a solo
Y'all need Jesus* *J Mascis
That's a chonky boy
I promise your night will be better if you start listening to the 1993 album Where You Been? by Massachusetts band Dinosaur Jr
Don't worry we all hate him here and we're gonna vote him out
My guns are my help, just like you! Do you like to kiss them and call them daddy?
I had tickets for that tour they did with RATM and At the Drive In that got cancelled when Mike D got in a bike accident, and then they all broke up, so pissed
Everyone hates Professor Springsteens class because of the 3.5 hour lectures
I remember when they joined the Big 10 people saying it would open up the Midwest to recruiting, and then instead the first year Big 10 schools got all of the top recruits from Jersey
Not shown: one of the rooms is Fred Willard and his organ from I Think You Should Leave
In fairness, New Jersey State would absolutely be a joke of a school
you’ll know if the president buys the farm because really weird shit will start happening in the crypto markets out of nowhere at least three or four hours before anybody says anything publicly
When they let this guy go to architecture school
I know, it’s sad right? She’s always telling me “he never got over me telling him it was small, he started buying all these guns”
I will hold your guns over your head just out of reach while you fruitlessly jump for them I’ll assign your guns boy names and then push them together and make kissing noises Then I’ll leave with your wife while your kids call you a loser
So they were rubbernecking the domestic violence thing, got rear ended, and then said Rudy was the one helping?
Damn. Prayers for Talmadge
I remember liking a really heavy song on it but when I tried to remember what it sounded like I just hear a similar Queens of the Stone Age song in my head and I’d rather listen to that one
Never connect the tv to the internet, and don’t use the built in software, get an AppleTV and use the TV as a dumb screen
The guy who owns this house wears those shoes from the infamous thread
His new “sorry I cheated and had a baby” song sounds like AI wrote it
I am positive that this guy looks like Palmer Luckey
She has to lock Ensign up at some point. No one has faced any consequences
This is one of those things where after he made the request to the contractor they should have had him arrested
Josh Freese just gave an interview and said he wasn’t too upset about getting fired because the music did not excite him
The army is attacking citizens right now, go do second amendment stuff, or are you afraid?
We don’t respect you and neither does your wife
I will personally take your guns away
Justice for William Goldsmith
All time singles band. Then you hear the rest of the record and think “I didn’t need to hear any of that”
Strong correlation between saying that and being the first one getting all of their shit robbed with no police
Getting taken out by a military coup and it’s not even marines or seals it’s the national guard smh
One of them that popped up and I realized for the first time the guy was wearing slides. I should have taken him up on the offer
Don’t pay them and make them pick up trash in the park sounds like a good way to foment a coup
He definitely tried to flirt. “I was mayor on 9/11”
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
The story is crazy and doesn’t make much sense, but imagine you were the victim of a domestic violence incident and you flag down a car and out steps Rudy Giuliani with hair dye dripping down his face and scotch on his breath
Slipping the EMT a $5 bill “let’s keep the poop between us ok?”
The hair dye dripped into his eye and he was driving wildly like Toonces the cat before finally coming to a stop by crashing into one of those wedge exits with all the orange barrels in front of them
The only silver lining I can come up with is exposing some Republican non-ball-knowers who will call him Tex-ee-era
Rudy Giuliani has a family, it’s not funny to say when he got rear ended he pooped himself and some of the poop got in between the seat and the console in that dead zone where you can never get anything back and now his BMW is ruined
As a parent in the city: There is either: 1. An active threat, which families and schools should be informed of. 2. Not a threat, nothing to address, and the presence of police will make risk appear greater to kids who are aware of what happened. Either way, this is bananas.
If one of these cops murders somebody are they going to tell us the victim had a medical incident again? Is O’Hara ever going to find a shirt that fits?
I don’t want cops outside of my kids school, this is a stupid idea
Oh no!
Walt Natua running into Giulianis car so we stop speculating on the health of his boss
Google photos (my one lingering thing from de-googling) likes to suggest a group of photos taken at the same time, so sometimes I get suggestions that are pictures of people who wanted to beat me up for yelling at them about parking in the bike lane. I sometimes took those in case I did get beat up
Texting is obviously so much worse, but the thing where people drive holding their phone with a vertical forearm, bent wrist, and the phone flat makes me want them in prison

Started getting new spam texts about a recent Amazon order when I haven’t used Amazon in almost a year. I wonder how many people are getting scammed
