They thought we would surrender. They were wrong—we are made of different wood.

Cool chart. Agriculture and manufacturing follow very similar paths in developed nations. All developed economies trend toward service and mechanization reduces labor needs. Note that manufacturing output keeps increasing while the share decreases over time. blog.waldrn.com/p/what-happe...

Why do people keep saying that the ship that crashed into the Brooklyn bridge was a Mexican Navy ship doing training exercises? Have you seen the ship? The one from the 1800s with sailors standing on the lighted masts? Do you really believe think Mexico does military exercises in the East River?

It’s interesting that freedom so easily gets warped into every man for themselves. What a messed up society we’ve built.

It’s cool that the new pope doesn’t seem to be a fascist and all but how does everyone just forget that this institution was essentially a world wide crime ring for child sex abuse? For decades. They shouldn’t be able to come back from that. Shut that shit down.

Is it me or does it look like the kangaroo killed the eagle from squeezing and loving it too much (Of Mice and Men style), and has found a new friend to love and squeeze and the goose kind of knows he’s cooked?

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

After twenty years of liberals and conservatives claiming billionaires can run schools better than the public system, and scores of epic failures, can we be done please?

They know they’re snatching American citizens, and that they’ll have to let them out. The point isn’t deportation- it’s to immiserate Latinos. Ten days is long enough to lose your job, miss your rent, get your kids taken. As New York cops say, “you can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride”

Biden was uniquely supportive of the genocide in Gaza, to the surprise even of the Israelis. It’s our campaign of death as much as it is there’s.

This “I told you so” nonsense is what makes people resent liberals. There is no point in doing this except to tell everyone that you think you’re better than them.

Honestly, liberals need to stop burning energy by pointing out the hypocrisy. Republicans are cynical & power hungry, they don’t care if you know it. You’re not going to gain leverage by pointing it out. Look for levers of power and use them. Quotes from Obama.

One of the tattoos that ICE is using to identify supposed Venezuelan gang members is “jump man” seen below (upper left). They say it refers to a specific neighborhood in Venezuela. It’s literally an Air Jordan tattoo.

BREAKING: Louisianans just rejected a ballot measure that would have paved the way for more children to be prosecuted as adults. It lost by roughly 30%. Here’s how a supporter had justified it: “Some of these kids are already lost when they’re two years old.” Context: boltsmag.org/louisiana-am...

I don’t really follow baseball, but how are the bats not standardized and why is there no salary cap? These seem like pretty basic things you’d want to take care of.

Just an amazing thing for a company to put in print. Uline, a supply company, laments that the ACA prevents them from trapping young workers in terrible jobs because they can get healthcare through their parents until they are 26. They call the lazy, disloyal workers “nomads.”
