Also the participants knew this wasn't a real prison and they had signed up for a LARP. Watch me do a study on how Stanford is full of vampires.
the stanford prison experiment was corrupted before it began — it was recruited with an ad saying it wanted volunteers “for a study into prison life” which already biases the participant self-selection
the guards were also directly coached and encouraged to be worse

I'm tired of people saying "Silicon Valley" when they mean like "the inhabitants of Larry Ellison's hot tub". Trump got 28% in Santa Clara County in 2024 and that's a relatively conservative area. *Billionaires* in SV tend to support Trump, as do billionaires everywhere.
Rank and file tech workers vote overwhelmingly Democratic. They lost finance guys.
Opinion | Democrats have lost Silicon Valley. Here's what it will take to win it back
If Democrats want to become the party of the future again, they need to stop treating the people building the future like political enemies.

I mean, the point isn't to create jobs, it's to produce a service. But data centers are unusual in doing almost nothing for the community they're located in. *Your* economic development is still a Dollar General and three vape shops; at best, the data center is an inert box.
Data centers create 1 permanent job per $17 million invested. Other industries create between 7-18 jobs per million dollars invested. So, eat shit, Alice.
This is what data center developers are saying all across Michigan It's condescending and it's going over like a lead balloon.
Michiganders don't need some California billionaires telling us what to do, and we aren't buying their false promises.

Targeting a food subsidy "just to the people who need it" is nonsense. Everyone needs food. The administrative burden to separate out "people who need it" (1) denies aid to people whose needs are not legible to the bureaucracy, and (2) wastes money that we could spend buying more food.
Hear me out. What if instead of selling food below cost to all comers at taxpayer expense, then using more taxpayer dollars to subsidize private companies that can't compete, we had a program targeting nutritional assistance just to the people who needed it, as a sort of supplement?

That's a weird label for a bottle of Bucky
(For those who don't know, Buckfast is blackcurrant wine that's 14.8% alcohol and has 90mg of caffeine per 5oz. This bottle is the size of a can of Coke and has 210mg of caffeine compared to 32mg in a can of Coke plus the alcohol of 4 glasses of wine)

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

Well, what's the purpose of a business? If you have the idea that it involves serving customers, then Trump businesses are shit. If it's purely about extracting wealth from customers to feed yourself, then selling overpriced garbage is good business. 1/
One thing I'll never understand is the perception of Trump as a "successful businessman." His reputation has *always* been "cheap shit," from the vodka to the steaks to the airlines and, of course, the casinos that lost money despite being run as cheaply as possible and never paying subcontractors.
I finally made it to the Great American State Fair. The columns on this fake building are something to behold.

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.
Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.
So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.
He’s weak. Finish him.

The libertarian rhetoric I grew up on relied a lot on the caricature of "the statists", who just think the state should meddle in things on general principle, like the mirror universe version of libertarians. And it turns out some of these guys really exist.
just for one second, a president who was interested in self-enrichment and whose idea of what helped/ hurt the American people was reduced to "what helps/ hurts me, my feelings, and my family;" a Senate that reflexively confirmed his appointees; and "independent" commissions that aren't.

It must have been great back then when nobody misused guns, Mr. Kennedy
RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

Time for Judge Cooper to rent a lift truck and take the letters down. There's due process, and then there's letting people dick you around forever.
In her opposition, Rep. Beatty notes that "These forfeited arguments, which are meritless, are obviously no basis for a stay pending appeal."

What gets me about this is that usually, a reporter asking you for evidence is a gift. They're giving you space to lay out your case to the public. But that only works if you're not a fucking liar.
WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her"
