@zriboua @HudsonInstitute Thank you for your reply. It does look like you’d have to be a student or recent grad.

@RodeoProfessor @feelsdesperate If you run a research lab and bring in grants, you as well as your research team are included in Direct Costs. The travel budget of top admin has nothing to do with IDC either. People most compensated and affected by IDC are those in sponsored project admin and grant development.

@Noahpinion @wesyang Iran would be huge. He was lauded by dozens of millions of Iranians for killing Suleimani & shifted many educated, well-to-do expats in the US to the right. If he pulls off a “clean” regime change, he’s going to be worshipped by almost the entire nation, heck many more in the ME.

@benryanwriter @elocinationn These used to be my convo starters to intentionally annoy someone from Seattle. These days I’m going with “Couldn’t you have thought of a better animal or creature than Kraken?”

@HenMazzig Love that you dropped that subtle “Islamic Republic *in* Iran”. If you know, you know.

It's pretty common to hear the claim that free speech protects power. Let's go to the tape... Near v. Minnesota (1931) - First Amendment prohibited prior restraint on publication of a newspaper that accused local officials of having ties to gangsters West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) - First Amendment prohibited a state board of education from requiring schoolchildren to salute the flag Sweezy v. New Hampshire (1957) - First Amendment protected a professor's refusal to answer the New Hampshire attorney general's questions about his relationship with the Communist Party Edwards v. South Carolina (1963) - First Amendment protected black students' peaceful anti-segregation march from a church to the statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina New York Times v. Sullivan (1964) - First Amendment foreclosed a Montgomery, Alabama official's defamation lawsuit against four black preachers who criticized city police officers' treatment of peaceful civil rights protesters including MLK Jr. Brown v. Louisiana (1966) - First Amendment protected five black men's silent sit-in protesting racial segregation in a public library Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District (1969) - First Amendment protected the right of public school students to wear armbands protesting the Vietnam War Cohen v. California (1971) - First Amendment protected a 19-year-old department store worker's right to wear a jacket bearing the message "Fuck the Draft" in a courthouse New York Times v. United States (1971) - First Amendment thwarted the Nixon administration's attempt to prevent newspapers from publishing the Pentagon Papers, which showed how the government had misled the public about US involvement in the Vietnam War Texas v. Johnson (1989) - First Amendment protected an activist's right to burn an American flag as an act of protest outside the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas Lane v. Franks (2014) - First Amendment prohibited a community college from firing an employee for testifying against a state legislator in a federal corruption trial I'm starting to doubt the thesis that the First Amendment is a friend to the powerful or to "racial patriarchy"...

"The US was built on racial patriarchy. If you want to describe what the First Amendment is, it’s not about consistent or noble principles, it’s about power. it’s about converging with that idea of racial patriarchy and if you are disturbing it." @ma_franks with @zittrain

@Noahpinion Anti-Americanism is the overarching principle behind leftists’ support for Islamist regimes. Their apologism for the Iranian regime & IRGC despite the violent misogyny & homophobia in Iran is b/c no social or political leftist value is more sacred than standing out against the US

The abundance agenda isn't only about housing. There's false scarcity everywhere. We need more primary care doctors!

In 1998, the federal government capped the rate at which we produced primary care doctors. Now, Americans are suffering the consequences of a doctor shortage.

Degrowthers overlook the fact that capitalist economies are growing *and* reducing emissions

COLLAPSING: most scientists think rapid extinction during capitalism with hellish global warming of 1.8-3°C and rising by 2048-2058 is now definitely unavoidable given increasing deforestation and record levels of fossil emissions both driven by deadly economic growth

ironically this is the most self-aggrandizing approach to take. insulting to ordinary people who study hard, really "I was handed a gift outside my control; I'm grateful to have used it well" is more humble and more honest

@SwannMarcus89 Percentage of obese adults in Ireland isn’t extraordinarily less than that of the US, but I think mixing the overweight and obese categories (i.e. the 60% stat) is misleading.

At the risk of being uncharitable, I’m increasingly convinced that degrowth is just an attempt to find a new rationalization for socialism after its economic failure

I was trying to figure out why Los Angeles feels so different. It's not just that a lot of rich people moved out, it's that the middle class don't live there anymore. All these neighborhoods are now super expensive so it sucked families out, and with them the teenagers that
