I wrote a piece making the case that a more competent Trump would be less bad. Link in next tweet

@StatsLime there is currently a lot of aid waiting in warehouses right now as children starve. i'm sure the children who die in the meantime will care a lot about if the order later gets reversed

@StatsLime You can't seriously have witnessed these first few weeks of the Trump administration and come up with the conclusion "nothing ever happens"

@StatsLime No! The Nothing Ever Happens bros have been the opposite of vindicated!

The purple category on today's connections is I think the most disgusting one I've come across

@tacitdimension @AndyMasley (I deleted cus I'm not sure I believe it. I said that maybe you don't actually believe in germ theory but rather in some simplified version, but that doesn't seem true)

@tacitdimension @AndyMasley yeah seems like there's some extra step of "understanding" that is maybe not well accounted for. People can believe in germ theory but not understand it well and thus form other beliefs inconsistent with it.

@AndyMasley This seems right. The further conclusion is that when we hold contradictory "beliefs" we don't fully believe either of these things

@PoliticalKiwi Very frustrating cus he actually does good reporting but I can’t bear to follow him

There’s no accountability mechanism here! They’re not committing to anything, just saying whatever they want to get confirmed!

@KooHo_jin @GBFL9 Excuse me you can’t just change your pfp that drastically and not say anything

@AlexGodofsky Why Trump likes him so much is unclear to me. I think it’s because he’s really rich and is willing to put his own life aside to spend all his time with Trump?

The system isn't designed for mass lawbreaking like this

@JenMsft @timfduffy amazing job you've done with the OS

@PoliticalKiwi people love shooting the messenger
