Good timing here:

People LOVED their factory jobs back in the 60s / 70s. That's why there were so many songs about how they wanted to stay on the production line for all time and never, ever leave their hometown.

grocery store is ripping me off. it should be buying an equal amount of stuff from me as I buy from it

I can’t compete with this

i can't believe we are going on ten years of these people saying "sure!" every time donald trump offers them a nice hawaiian punch

Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index for March comes in at -16.3 vs -5.0 expected and -8.3 in Feb. And now for the comments section. www.dallasfed.org/research/sur...

Must read, and I especially wish conservatives I once considered friends would do so

"The mistake is to assume that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot change or destroy those very institutions - even when that is exactly what they have announced they will do." - Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

A recent Nature poll has found that 75% of researchers surveyed are considering leaving the United States for jobs abroad, with a higher percentage among early-career researchers. Many are actively looking for jobs in Canada and Europe. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Presidential Pardons don't cover crimes tried at the Hague just saying

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

Are you a US scientist thinking of quitting the States for Europe? Would you be willing to talk about it — anonymity is possible? Send me a DM. (Please reskeet if you have US contacts!)

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

If Trump is serious about shrinking the trade deficit, he should start with changing the rules that allow US multinationals to sidestep taxes at home. @jonathanjlevin.bsky.social explains 🇮🇪🎥

So uh... what's gonna replace the Democratic Party because fuck this

Many people drawn to Gavin Newsom's debut podcast episode will never have heard of Charlie Kirk. So it opens a door to radicalization by putting extremist ideas into the minds of people who otherwise wouldn't hear them. Most listeners will reject them, but a few will be intrigued.

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

I wrote about a major moderation change that Reddit announced last week, its immediate effect on the site's already-suppressed discussions around Luigi Mangione, and the backstory that involves Elon Musk, anti-Palestinian conspiracies, and right-wing tech media: slate.com/technology/2...

Both Sandler and Bauman are no longer alive and hence can not possibly be involved. They do share one cultural characteristic with George Soros, however, which surely wasn’t on Musk’s mind when he wrote this.

Let this sink in.

My long-term 🐻 call that seems unbelievable today: S&P bottoms in ballpark of 2022 lows sometime around September 2026.

Crypto's ultimate use case may be to swiftly and efficiently identify who the world's biggest grifters, fantastists and general yahoos are.

A lot of people are going to die from this

I really don’t think we (the people who dislike what’s happening) are all that good at the nature of Information Age warfare and it bums me out because we are gonna need an insurgency here. It’s so easy for us to get stuck in horror, so let’s instead talk tactics. 1/
