I think the most notable thing here is the killing surge seems to have happened across the board, not obviously attributable to any specific local government policy choices.

New FBI data:
• Murders increased 30% in 2020, the largest rise since recordkeeping began
• Murder rate is still 1/3 lower than early 1990s
• Rates were up in cities big and small, Trump counties and Biden ones
• 77% from guns — the highest share ever

My guess is the 2020 murder surge is at least in part related to this finding that there's less violence crime when there's a hit violent movie in the theaters.

I continue to believe that (despite what they’re saying) Epic got what they wanted from the case (what they reasonably could hope to get — on the PR front; steering was icing on the cake). And Apple also thinks (despite what they’re saying) that Epic got what they wanted. https://t.co/tbc4OGtlEt

Tim Sweeney says Apple told Epic that it will not consider reinstating Epic's developer account until all legal appeals have concluded, likely years from now (The Verge)

It was my honor not to eat any of your pets while I was responsible for house-sitting.

I was honored to advise Vice President Pence that he had no choice on January 6, 2021, but to accept and count the Electoral College votes as they had been cast and properly certified by the states.

He cares - because he knows Lithuania offers hope for resistance against regimes like the CCP.
From 1940-53, it lost almost a million people to Nazi and Soviet rule. Since independence in 1990 it has built a prosperous democracy.
Lithuania's lesson is clear - never give up 🇺🇸🇱🇹

@CollinSLKoh @politixs Lithuania is a typical US poodle and vicious attack dog these days. Who care? There are only 2.8 million of them out there, like a small Chinese city.

I am not melting down and that’s not what the post in question said

Anti-woke twitter is melting down over a document arguing that neutrality shouldn’t be an ideal. Here is a forthcoming paper of mine and David Beaver’s arguing that neutrality is *incoherent*. I’ve posted it before - let’s see some outrage! @mattyglesias https://t.co/qOjPluSdds
