That's the thing that actually scares me, Wall Street's seeming inability to reign Trump in. The petite bourgeois let the haute bourgeois get enough control to take over, and now they can't put the genie back in the bottle.

I wonder if they're going to try to re-criminalize weed. Logic would say that it's too profitable to re-prohibit but even that cynical framing seems to be failing these days.

the arc of history is long. it's long as hell. it's just—whew. it's a long-ass arc, is all I can tell you.

C’mon man, lol

It has come to my attention that not nearly enough of you know about Bernd das Brot, the German children's program about a clinically depressed loaf of bread who enjoys studying his wallpaper and eating gruel and whose catchphrases include "my life is hell" and "I would like to leave this show."

I'm looking at the 2009 Vikings roster on PFR (as one does.) I know they were one Favre act of hubris away from winning the NFC but Jesus Christ how did this team not go 16-0?

There are a lot of government programs being cut and we’re going to have to fight like hell for them and likely rebuild many of them, but the one thing we absolutely cannot afford to lose right now is the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

A key to understanding this is that the people who were committing PPP fraud are the base of Trump and the Republican Party's support

“Appeared to have overturned” Literal picture of the plane upside down

Biden couldn't raise the minimum wage by .02¢ because the Senate parliamentarian pursed their lips, but Trump can radically remake the entire government by fiat and somehow this is all the fault of 15 autistic communists on Bsky

The Haute Bourgeoisie allowing people with Petite Bourgeoisie mindsets to access power will go down as the biggest unforced error in history, & the fact that the mechanisms that lead to it can exist within the capitalist system without the market self-correcting prove that the market doesn't work.
