One of the most misinformed groups in the world has to be people who watch John Oliver religiously, this is one of the better forum posts on the phenomenon of the "comedic-news" segments

HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.

California is the place where hypercompetent nerds are too busy to notice dysfunctional politicians mismanaging their state

California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like: • counting bumblebees one by one • rebuilding woodrat stick huts • hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

After a bunch of planning, design and paperwork I pulled some guys off data center construction to build my new office / music / podcast studio - land cleared and site prepped, inspection on Friday then they can pour cement. It's time to build

Hilariously incompetent. Also remind me, what % of this is done? Unreal to want to give these people more $ to light on fire. If they finished projects it would be one thing, but all the spending doesn't actually do anything, negative value even

Good advice from @micsolana ... cheer up kids, we don't live all that long. Delete Instagram, stop comparing yourself to fake lives of people who aren't even happy
