- Hey folks. Make a will. Even if you “don’t have anything” If you have kids and you don’t have a will you’re being negligent.
- If you don’t have a will you are setting a time bomb that says “let’s make everyone deal with lawyers and the government when they are already upset”
- Is he saying it’s a good thing or a bad thing to look like Tom Cruise. I honestly can’t tell.
- Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfst: "We prefer somebody that's a strong, powerful person w/extremely good vision that can shoot a rifle very well to a person that's extremely weak, non-muscular, can't shoot a rifle, has no idea where the hell he is. We have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise"
- I’ve used it in ever class I’ve ever taught.
- I’d love to see a list of businesses on the right side of history and come give them some money.
- Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.
- 80 year old New York guy who thinks “the Italian vote” is key to his victory.
- I wish 'put every political science prof on your email list!' wasn't part of the 'long shot local political candidate starter pack'
- Sometimes I like to ask my wife “sooo where do you think this is all heading, me and you?” Like it’s our fifth date. She usually replies “the grave Ian. It’s heading to the grave” and that’s the most romantic shit ever.
- I literally happily give talks for like a cup of coffee or a slice of pizza. Especially for students or activist groups. My hair is not as good as Klein's, but I'll honestly tell you if I don't know something or am not an expert in it.
- If you're a company I charge, though. We all have our ethical principles.
- Say what you want about Norman Finkelstein, but it's probably a good thing if you only show up in the Epstein files to say that you think Epstein should be throttled.
- Are we at the point where folks ‘need’ an alternative? I had a meeting the other day and the person was like “we all us ai everyday” and didn’t believe me when I laughed out loud and denied that.
- I use one local-non cloud LLM-backed piece of software. I use ChatGPT to see how it responds to assignments I give my students (so I can make things that are not easily plugged in to it for answers). That’s it.
