OK, it’s the dog days of August. But @NPR et al are still trying to make a scandal out of a Census Bureau report claiming that “24,000 noncitizens illegally voted in 2020”? Isn’t that a very low number? The left should maybe be celebrating this report. https://t.co/CsIkkvbPgd

Which way does the narcoterrorism example cut? IT suggests that business noblese oblige (corporate citizenship, stakeholders, all that BS) is often designed to gain support for bad actions. Even when not it’s condescending and corporatist. If I see a Sam Altman Soccer Field I https://t.co/vSdwMLzc0M

.@UPS’ AI customer support chatbot just admonished me to use “respectful” language when I said UPS had “screwed up” (which it had–big package delivered to wrong street, now resolved). I thought “screwed up” WAS the respectful phrase. What is this, cotillion?

Do you get the sense that most of the MSM really does not want to report on this story– that “Iran is losing much of its control of the critical waterway”? Maybe they put the Trump-is-failing-flailing story on AI autopilot before heading off on their August beach vacations. https://t.co/ONnAEEOGvz

LA Mayor debate: “Raman saying the city needed more density in housing to address a severe shortage…” Seems like last year’s issue. LA politicians have now solved the problem in part by screwing up the city so badly there’s a lot less demand to live here and rents are falling.

I’m primed to oppose Ranked Choice Voting, but this isn’t a persuasive article. Yes, lots of kooks ran, but they’ll all lose. Yes, a Dan Sullivan name-a-like ran, but in a regular voting system he could’ve caused the real Sullivan to lose. Here his voters will wash away in round https://t.co/4ESIeZ2C2O
