One in eight men (12%) say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23 time grand slam winner Serena Williams https://t.co/q0eNBjn7Vu pic.twitter.com/3InBOWdYwh

Delusional. She’s better than something like 99.9999995% of men alive and 99.99999998% of women — meaning that a randomly selected male would have something like a 1 out of 2,000,000 chance of winning a point against her.
Many men are really dipshits.
I want to like Elizabeth Warren, but unfortunately I cannot support her. She’s just as busy cheering on our military adventurism as almost all the other candidates and the establishment in general, and she’s proposing de facto open borders.
That makes her a big no for me. I want the social programs in the US to at least persist, not be destroyed.
All is becoming optimized for dumbasses, so only dumbasses can use any of it.
Latest data – with minimal optimization @oneweb now hitting over 400mbps to a terminal, I think 1Gbps is achievable. These little satellites are performing very well. Goodbye digital divide.

Well fuck. Interested in seeing the pricing of these and other near-earth satellite plans, but since their sats are only 1,200km away from earth as opposed to the 36,000km of Hughes, etc., the latency should be far better and they’ll actually be usable. I can accept 40ms of additional latency if I don’t have to live in a North American hell city (all of them) but not 500ms.
This could be a game changer for anyone who doesn’t want to be saddled to a nasty city to get decent internet speeds. This, personally, will be great news for us as we have no interest in living in or near a noisy, people-infested urban area when we are in a position to avoid it.
Google has gotten good at figuring out what I’m looking for when I don’t know myself, but fucking horrible at finding things I already know exist.

For me, Google is now terrible at finding what I’m looking for whether I know it exists or not. In many ways it’s like using a search engine from 1996 or so. I know it’s geared for and aimed at the droolers now, but it’d disappointing because I know it could be better. As, obviously, it used to be better.
Oh my god, look at this fucking moron. Of course I am talking about Kevin Drum.
Washington Can’t Solve a Housing Crisis That Doesn’t Exist.
Could this dispshit be any more of an ignorant fuckwad? Unusually, even his commenters take him to task for his latest bit of asshattery. I will quote two of them in toto.
This is grossly misleading. There’s no *national* housing crisis, but huge numbers of people are affected by very real regional housing crises. And these are the very areas where the job growth is greatest, so ever more people are being affected. So yes, we have to build a *lot* more housing in these already very populous areas. Which means greater density. Alas, Kevin hates density, and misses no chance to argue against it, even if it means using national statistics to bury local realities.
And:
It’s not just Kevin, it’s just about anyone who owns a freestanding (and now extremely valuable) home in places like LA, Seattle, or the Bay Area. If you can figure out how to change those people’s minds about living next to a high-rise apartment building instead of another charming little bungalow, we’re all ears.
Averaging rent and median income across the US means nothing. See this post for why.
Kevin Drum is a lying shill, a worthless fuckstick douchecanoe shitstack of human worthlessness. Fuck that guy.
