Nothing new here, but democratic strategists (still) seem to have difficulty understanding it's not a popularity contest. It's not a meme-off. Or a cringepageant. It's a board of directors proxy vote...with the ousted edgelord-in-chief's breath fogging up the outside window.

Hence JdV, who in 2020 floated the idea of state legislatures in contested states appointing oppositional sets of electors. If it went to plan, this circumvents typical lawsuits/governor cert/AG/state court (eg, 2001) and transfers decision to SCOTUS and House. Home turf.

IMO this is where US election is headed. At least one Midwest/swing state will be close. It will be contested. Claims of fraud, hacked machines, etc. But this time, revolt might be through state legs via electors. For dems another reason to pick Shapiro (Whitmer if ur bold)

When you ask a glorified 30% sentient TI-92 to solve mathematical ?s and sprinkle the solutions across five dimensions. This quest surely cost the equivalent of a small forest in electricity. #COBOL #SCHRODINGER #SUPERPOSITION #FORTH #DARKMATTER

Long story short, there are obvs lists everywhere to test and rank these in a myriad of ways, but this was the hardest I have ever seen it work.

"...a fascinating but highly complex challenge. The constraints involve using an esoteric programming language, arbitrary precision arithmetic, and non-standard hardware (a human brain-powered computer), which makes it practically infeasible to create a fully working solution."

Schwartzman's performance is epic. Same with Maya Hawke and Tom Hanks. And every single young actor. And Liev Schreiber. /3

I supposed the deeper in the Anderson world you are, the more rewarding. People who are new to the cult are likely to be frustrated, because in essence, it's a patchwork of interactional microcosms that never meaningfully converge /4

The differences are not trivial. In some cases, excluding the original 33-92% salary gaps, the pay increases after each year of service are nearly twenty percent higher on the lecturer A/B scale. Compounding this, there are twice as many steps/points on average on the lower scale

Lastly, here are the *average* salary/pay raise increase and wage disparity gaps between the upper & lower lecturer class over all steps/points (years of service) by institution, ranked by lowest % to highest %. These are averages, but I think it’s easy to see the situation.
