“Tesla is going down the toilet” is not insider information.

“The market is having trouble digesting the multidimensional chess that Trump and his team are playing,” said Michael Block, market strategist at Third Seven Capital. “This multidimensional chess game is not going well for the grand master.

LOL, you aren’t playing 3D chess when you flip a chessboard.

Uh no, the AI didn’t crack any problem.

The AI produced the same hypothesis that a scientist produced, one that the scientist considered his own original awesome idea.

But the truth is that science is less about producing awesome ideas and more about proving them. And AI did nothing in this regard, except to remind scientists that their original awesome ideas are often not so original.

There’s even a term scientists use when another scientist has the same idea but actually managed to do the work of proving it: “scooped”. It’s a very common occurrence. It didn’t happen here.

The SCOTUS already held that schools cannot consider race in their admissions. But schools can still use geography, so they often give preference to applicants from disadvantaged neighborhoods. I don’t think Trump’s latest EO is going to change that.

Nonsense. Most people who boycott products aren’t posting about it on the internet.

And I don’t know why you assume that opposing one company means you have to oppose others. People are allowed to oppose PayPal but not give a crap about eating meat.

I can easily avoid every company owned by PayPal.

It’s an open standard now, it doesn’t really matter that Tesla was the first. So it’s a good thing, kind of like iPhones switching to “Android charging cables”.

I am very suspicious about this claim. Firing thousands of air traffic controllers in a few days is actually quite difficult, especially for someone as incompetent as Trump. Yet another benefit of union membership!

fired thousands of FAA employees

Where did you read this? The article does not say he fired thousands of FAA employees.

Home insurers aren’t going under. They are simply going to leave California.

Biden really hammering home that only the wealthy and well-connected

You are really hammering home that you only pay attention to the wealthy and well-connected.

Diane Nash, Sandra Lindsay, Greg Boyle, Alexander Karloutsos, Medgar Evers, Clarence Jones, Opal Lee, Jane Rigby, Teresa Romero, Judy Shepard, and Fannie Hamer are not wealthy and well-connected, yet Biden awarded all of them the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Yes, also ban Jacobin and all the other non-US propaganda networks.

Who wrote the manifesto found in his backpack?

The hospital in this story, MD Anderson, is also a nonprofit. In fact it’s part of the University of Texas, a state-run school. So nobody profited from what happened here.

And in general, insurance companies have an antagonistic relationship with health care providers. Because when insurance companies deny care, health care providers lose money.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Pike’s health insurer through his employer, had declined to cover the roughly $40,000 treatment.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois is a nonprofit, so it turns out nonprofits deny care too.

This is a good summary.

As mentioned elsewhere, pediatric cancer funds have already been restored in separate legislation.

Any state can abolish DST on its own, some have already done so.

There was a bill in Congress to put the entire country on permanent DST (which states can’t do on their own). It died because (a) some states don’t want permanent DST, and (b) doctors have found that permanent DST is less healthy than no DST.

In fact, Congress already tried permanent DST briefly in the 70s. Some children were killed in early morning traffic accidents, schools responded by shifting their winter hours later, and the public generally turned against it.

painting themselves as the oppressed

I don’t think that’s what Marx meant, and by extension that’s not what this piece means either.

Marx’s opening lines roughly amount to “We’re taking over this place, the oldtimers know it and fear us, so it’s time to start making our demands known.” It’s a call to assume power, not a plea for sympathy.

They didn’t publish the Communist Manifesto. They published a parody with the opposite meaning.

It doesn’t really prove anything.

Marx:

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies… Two things result from this fact: I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power. II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.

Lindsay:

A rising spirit is haunting America: the spirit of a true Christian Right. Moreover, all the existing powers of the American Regime since the end of the Second World War have aligned themselves against it and its re-emergence from the shadows of American civic life, politics, and religion—the Marxist Left and its neo-Marxist “Woke” descendant, the liberal establishment, the neoconservatives, and their police and intelligence apparatuses. There are two consequences of this unholy alliance. First, the Christian Right itself is recognized by all these forces to be a power and thus a threat. Second, it is time for this arranged order to end and for a New Christian Right to emerge and stake its rightful claim on twenty-first century American politics.

They found a handwritten manifesto on him. It would be very easy to prove that it’s not his handwriting, if it actually were planted.
