Happy weekend to those who celebrate

Even in this visuals-rich historical era, I really think this one will make the cut into history books

Oh GOODY, an evil old convicted monopolist will continue dolling out pennies when he feels like it while every media entity kisses his ass, SO much better than democracy

I don’t necessarily have an amazing feeling about this

Hm

I went on Good Morning Comrade with my mate Jeffrey to talk oligarchs and trade wars. Adulterate your leisurely weekend with knowledge! www.podbean.com/ep/pb-ftyse-...

At least it’s not all bad

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

Boo fucking hoo

An almost unbelievable sentence

This will be followed by similar drops in trucking and retail sales, with the inevitability of falling dominos. Triple-digit tariffs amount to an embargo. Whatever hasty policy reversals we get from this administration of fascist fuckups, it’s hard to see how this wave of scarcity could be avoided.

By all means let’s base our decisions on this man

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

I don’t much care for this economic system

Well.

Incredible nightmare

The incredibly pro-working class president’s wrestling boss education secretary is finally putting you freeloading student loan borrowers in your place

What a note to go out on

There is something profoundly perverse in this award going to a photograph taken for the NYTimes, which has done more than any media outlet in the world to enable US-backed Israeli massacres and dismemberment of children in Gaza.

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

Mask ban. Let’s ban umbrellas while we’re at it

Very secret. So secret in fact that the CIA and even Mossad say it doesn’t exist

People! In two weeks I’m doing a talk on the oligarchs for Tacoma DSA! Learn rich details on our ruling class bastards and connect with people to actually help do something instead of sitting alone in fear. Gonna be a blast! See you there

Well at least it’s not all bad

Hm

tired of watching line go down? a new and extremely mean McMansion Hell post is available for your perusal in these trying times mcmansionhell.com/post/7801924...

All of us are struggling with the new reality

Fantastic headline. “In East Ukraine, Russia is the Power That Matters”

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

Markets not wild for the trade war

It should just say STAGFLATION

Wow, in the course of normalizing Trump’s Greenland annexation demands this Hudson Institute conservative gives a respectable little history of naked US imperialism

A new tactic, remarkably similar to the previous tactic of ethnic cleansing

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

Yes the Guardians of the Status Quo, not Wall Street or Big Tech or the Supreme Court, but low-paid public-sector punching bags who try to get your kids to put down their phones and learn fractions

That’s because you’re a lightweight product reviewer and not an actual tech journalist or critic

Thoughtful questions from a man earning six figures to sit in an air conditioned office writing editorials about how blue collar workers are probably overpaid

Billionaire-owned reactionary paper gloating over an oil billionaire destroying Greenpeace for defaming his poor corporate property

I Douthat

It’s a sad day for good ol’ professor Larson, as the college is tearing down the building and putting us all around campus. Had a good 13 years in this office, had a lot of great students come through, wrote a couple good books here. I will always remember this place. My little monk cell.

Voters are going to love Operation Congolese Freedom

Shut up you dumb hacks

By all means, let’s have minutes-old bullshit generators teach kids rather than human teachers, who sure might have great knowledge and years of experience but who won’t teach your kid valuable life skills, such as spitting on foreigners

No! Nooooooo

Great issue of Mansion this week

Happy weekend to those who celebrate
