"Tennessee Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) secretly bought a home in Nashville for nearly $600,000 in September 2021 through an anonymous trust, Popular Information has learned. The revelation raises serious new questions about whether Sexton can legally represent Crossville, which is nearly two hours from Nashville."

Key quotes from this article about Nassim Nicholas Taleb from The Spectator:
"Taleb is popular because he’s not selling anything; there’s no online course or paid subscription. What he offers is permission to look deep into the past for answers on how to live in the uncertain present."
"Taleb has an idea that should be basic, but that modern society finds difficult to accept: we don’t control everything. In fact, we control very little."
"The point is not to never make a mistake, per the Talebian “skin in the game” concept; it is to own up to your mistakes and admit to them publicly."
“He realizes that there is this discrepancy between how people are thinking and how they should think.”
This is just funny, but might be helpful social media time management advice: '“What people don’t realize is I have my Twitter fights prepared at least a week in advance,” he said. “And I use that downtime, traffic jam in an Uber or something like that, to start executing.”'

Here is a must-read post from children's author Maggie Tokuda-Hall on how Scholastic offered to publish her book — all she had to do was remove all mention of racism.
Sure, they're banning books in Tennessee and Texas. But it's not just the books that get published and then banned from the library. It's all the books that don't get published in the first place.
Those banning books know publishers like Scholastic pull this cowardly bullshit. It's their game plan.

This mayoral forum is at Imhotep Charter, one of few Philly schools that does not have asbestos in it!

"System administrators have even less time to patch disclosed security vulnerabilities than previously thought, as a new report shows threat actors scanning for vulnerable endpoints within 15 minutes of a new CVE being publicly disclosed."

""Intelligence reporting has indicated that Russian cyber threat actors are exploring options for potential counter attacks against Canada, the United States and other NATO and Five Eyes allies, including against critical infrastructure targets," he said."

"Essential service trench" sounds like a PR term. But they should have covered that giant hole in the ground in any event.
If it really is 'essential', it's essential to properly cover it up AND label it so people KNOW it's utility work. No excuse for that.

I've never told this story, but the reason I wrote a book about the NRA was because I originally pitched a book about Maria Butina, the Russian government agent who I uncovered in 2017
Every New York book publisher rejected it because Russia was 'so over'
I don't think people should get on a guy for giving $7 million to his campaign INSTEAD of another guy for giving $25 to his own campaign. $25? That's too low to even be tax-deductible!
Philadelphia Mayoral Debate tonight!
"I’m so excited to have the opportunity to detail why I have the best experience and know-how to be Philadelphia’s next mayor. We’ll answer questions on the most pressing issues facing our city -- from quality of life, to education, crime, and the economy. Here are the event details:
WHEN: Tuesday, April 11th (that's today!) 6:30 p.m. ET - 8:00 p.m. ET
BROADCAST: FOX 29
STREAMING: Livestream will be available on FOX29.com, FOX 29's YouTube channel, Tubi, and Amazon News"
"Philadelphia is in crisis – we have a community safety crisis, a poverty crisis, an education crisis, and a crisis of affordable housing. But most importantly, we have a crisis of leadership.
All of these crises can be resolved with strong leadership, by bringing people together and by getting results – and that's why I’m running for mayor." --Allan Domb
"This is also a dangerous "death of expertise" moment. "I, a judge, would like to get rid of this thing I don't like. So I will ignore any science that would obstruct my personal wishes, and find some website somewhere that will tell me what I need to make my ruling.""
--Tom Nichols (@radiofreetom)
How can you run NYC if you don't know if you own a property? I mean, how hard is that to figure out if you own a house or not?
