lol. As you say that is 100% bullshit. I mean closer to 18 people than 18 percent. Pollsters have a phrase for this. Like if you ask, “have you tried BoxCrately yet?” You’ll have X % of people say yes even though it is a made up word.

This would be the president of El Salvador, talking about bitcoin, as of today legal tender in his country. Wild. https://t.co/dIaNFt3k8m

Feral disinformation respects no borders.
In Canada, anti-vaccine protesters swarmed a hospital, blocking ambulances and forcing some cancer patients to get out of cars and walk through the unmasked, angry crowd in order to make it to their treatments and appointments.

And another case study of insane humans...
To anyone who knows anything about the rise of the Brownshirts (Sturmabteilung) in Germany, this is utterly terrifying. https://t.co/liwSRbg8pE

And sane vampires.
I’ve been around a lot of people running for office. The tempting question to ask is “what happened to @JDVance1?” But that gives him the grace that he wasn’t always an ambitious fraud posturing for attention. He’ll lose & try to reinvent himself. But he’ll always be JD Vance. https://t.co/QNr0I9xGgh

Speaking of vampires, Vance is, of course, a protégé of Peter Thiel.Vance was born and raised in a middle-class suburb. Speaking as an Ozarks boy, I can tell you that the only thing more offensive than his condescending cosplay was the way the press fell for it.

And another for our cult of personality file.
the fetishization of Trump — a doughy crybaby who’s never lifted anything heavier than his own ego — as a chiseled paragon of masculinity is truly the stuff of cultish delusion https://t.co/p0hSAXbmTM

The conservative movement's targeting of strategically valuable elections and offices is also relevant to another recent conversation.
Not to mention related tactics.7. Which local offices do they covet the most? Supervisors of Elections and Sects of State. The people who saved the country by refusing to go along with the Big Lie. The gatekeepers of election integrity. And they are counting on the Democratic Party to be focused elsewhere.

Texas AG Ken Paxton said yesterday that if he hadn’t been successful with lawsuits to block mail-in ballots, Trump definitely would have lost the election in Texas. pic.twitter.com/2dVDiEAY1L

I've been too busy putting off other things, but I've been meaning to dig into the relationship between marketing psych and behavioral economics.
Lots of old psych holds up and some doesn't, but we don't know which is which. Good to seek these kinds of replications happening. https://t.co/Z7e2NbpbC2

And finally the thread you never knew you always wanted (not to brag, but I guessed where they were going with the underwear).
I'd dedicate this to the memory of James Burke, but he's not dead yet.Cheese 🧀 is one of the 5 things the Western book as we know it depends on. The other four are snails 🐌, Jesus ✝️, underwear 🩲 and spectacles 👓. If even one of these things was absent, the book you hold in your hand today would look completely different. I'll explain why. 5/
