the point is to build his Noble Crusading Journalist #brand by whipping up a media feeding frenzy against someone who can't fight back (Joe Biden) while sucking up to the fascists in power who can

false flag financial scams are one of my more crank policy ideas: the CFPB or whomever runs some kind of fake version of a common scam, and if you give them money you have to attend a "if this was real, you'd be broke or worse right now" class before they give it back to you.

like the basic idea is that what you are purchasing when you donate to a Palestinian GoFundMe is a type of pornography: the humiliating, performative gratitude of a person whom you have spent vastly more money to bomb than to feed

GAAP is simply one step on humanity's long quest for the perfect accounting standards. From recording wheat in the ziggurat, to XLOOKUP, human progress is driven towards our true purpose of counting stuff

Doubling steel & aluminum tariffs increases overall US tariff rates by roughly 1.4%, meaning Trump will have more than septupled tariffs since he took office It also means Trump won't break his record for longest period without changing tariffs, which is still only 28 days😭

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

In the 19th century, a New Orleans doctor sent the skulls of 19 Black Americans to a doctor in Germany, where they were used as part of now discredited racial science. The remains were recently returned to the city, where they will be laid to rest on Saturday.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

Genuinely do not understand the large contingent of people who have this visceral anti rent control reaction but are mildly miffed and willing to compromise with IZ. It really feels like economist types have this aesthetic hatred of things that are price control coded

i think one thing that people don't understand about synthetic video and images is that the weird shrink-wrapped ultra-glossy aesthetic is an intentional modeling choice which can be altered by fine-tuning and not a property of all synthetic media

The fact that Cuomo is doing better than Mamadani among women, black, and Hispanic voters is a result of the fact that the Establishment Democrat label has cache among those groups (see also: 2016, 2020). That Cuomo is identified as such is a result of the failure of NY electeds to ostracize him.

one thing i think people are underrating about the push for normal financial systems to use crypto is that it is also an attempt to Gresham's Law the whole US financial system with unregistered securities so as to try to make the US dollar no longer the "global reserve currency"
