NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

In normal life, people encounter non-commutativity all the time: e.g. underpants before trousers is significantly different to the opposite order But are there any everyday examples of fermionic behaviour? Picking up a specific ± sign from reordering?

So very different. Obama got cocky and underestimated Romney in the first debate. But being an incredible politician, he was able to fight back and turn it around. Here Biden knew the stakes, knew his opponent. There's no reason to assume that he didn't give it his best, or would be better later.

Are the people arguing for a replacement nominee any more in denial than those arguing that Biden can plausibly turn this around?

Who has been following the Karen Read murder trial? It’s got everything. Cops covering for cops. Cop group chats where they search for nudes in her phone & share her private medical details. People claiming they don’t know the person who babysits their kids. Impossible physics.

to add a little more here, it is not that economic anxiety is fake, it is that it cannot be neatly disentangled from racial anxieties. for instance, if you are doing well but see black people doing better, you may feel anxious on account of your internalized idea of what the racial order should be.

People keep saying "how is this allowed" and, lemme tell ya, the reason it's allowed is that our country's regulatory system for motor vehicles is utterly moribund, comprehensively captured by industry, intentionally crippled, and not remotely up to the chllange of today's vehicles, is how.
