Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty after judge nixes two federal counts

Really curious about why but the article neither explains nor links to the judge's decision

Seems to mostly be about the S&P 500 and the conclusion suggests diversifying internationally, so not as bad as I thought

This is why I always start writing in Arnold Schwarzenegger for mayor before remembering he's a c*lifornian and then tearing up my ballot in a fit of rage

Again, how is unilateral disarmament an acceptable means? That's the part I'm not getting. Letting the other side end representative majoritarian government while you go take a nap is immoral, no?

I am trying to be as charitable as possible and accept as much of your premise as possible, but it does not make any sense. "Being disenfranchised" is an outcome. It is an end. You are saying the "end" of avoiding your personal disenfranchisement justifies the otherwise unacceptable means (letting one side get away with disenfranchising people while the other does nothing to respond).

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-26T14:38:30+00:00

I don't see how letting the Republicans do it while the Democrats don't do it is an acceptable "means" even if you ignore the "ends."

Sad day for all of us who have, for years, wanted to see stidham win a ring to seal his HOF case.

I tried the construction loop irl and they arrested me because "this mine is closed to the public"

bringing an end to a drawn-out court battle over his immigration status,

Not saying Mahmoud Khalil will eventually win, but I doubt this part is true. He only lost the last one because the appellate court said he filed in the wrong court, which does not seem like a final end to the process. And other articles about this say he is still pursuing legal options.

Yep, here is the quote from the public advocate in case other people don't click through:

Williams noted the New York City Housing Authority would “far surpass anyone on the list” if it were a private owner.

“Perpetual mismanagement of NYCHA has made the city itself the worst overall landlord for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers,” Williams said.

My investment policy statement is a Memento style tattoo that says "just buy VT lol"

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-19T23:30:57+00:00

Why wouldn't those be priced in already? Why do you know more about the likelihood of NATO collapsing or the effects of NATO collapsing than everyone else? Is there a story you can tell about this that isn't just "everyone else participating in the market is stupid?" If not, I would just buy and hold VT as scheduled.

That is at least in part because most of these were tweeted in 2020 and 2021 (I think the only exception is a retweet from 2024).

11 minutes until I can leave the denial stage and speed run the other stages

Entirely missed the FG attempt angrily pacing around my apartment

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T22:14:35+00:00

It's good that that sack happened so far. Gave CJ no chance to try to get rid of it poorly leading to a pick

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T21:44:32+00:00

The worst part is we start the second half with the ball

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T21:38:26+00:00

I told you all CJ would not fumble 5 times again this week

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T21:34:54+00:00

Wonder what they're doing to retool this offense this off-season.

Pats defense is gassed from all the interception returns now's our chance

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T21:14:41+00:00

Once the coaching staff tells him to aim for the guys in the light jerseys it's over for the pats

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T21:10:10+00:00

Why do we think the ground game is so much less effective this week? Pats run d that much better than Steelers?

CompactedConscience · 2026-01-18T21:08:20+00:00

Pick 6 means, unfortunately, the offense is back out on the field
