"The people who work on farms often don't own them" is something that would have been completely intuitive to 99% of people for 99% of human history but is completely unintelligible to the people who make US public policy.
Sarah TaberA very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.
My most redneck trait is that I actually believe in yeehaw fuck the law
Yes, stupid immoral assholes have done far too well for basically forever, but right now, it feels like being a stupid immoral asshole has become the ONLY way to do well. That is a problem.
It’s completely nuts that Trump won by less than 2M votes with near universal media help and worldwide rage at incumbents and the media treated this like a permanent sea change towards MAGA and now less than 2 years later he’s the least popular President in history and there’s no media reckoning
This is a massive scandal. Not "should be," but "is."
Ways and Means Committee DemocratsEvery day, this Administration unlocks new levels of corruption never thought possible. At a time when families are struggling to stay afloat, they’re being denied jobs and opportunities by their president because of their political views.
99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
The media isn’t treating the regime’s refusal to release the Epstein Files as a scandal because Democrats and progressives aren’t driving any conflict around it. I don’t know why no one—besides the survivors themselves—is still pushing on this.
The link between content purchases and user accounts needs to be urgently addressed by regulation. Companies should not be able to invalidate all of your purchases by deleting or denying you access to your account: if you made the purchase, they should always be recoverable.
Weebs Posting Their L's OnlineI have a 20-year-old Gamecube that still works like a dream. So up yours, asshole.
perfect election year pitch, no notes
MediaiteMarc Thiessen argued that if Americans “can't handle $4 oil for a period of months,” then “we are not a superpower anymore.”
For the love of God run on prosecuting the bejesus out of every criminal in this administration for every applicable crime in every applicable jurisdiction.
Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him
If the people who cut USAID—causing many avoidable deaths—weren’t in a public panic about fertility rates while opposing immigration and blocking refugees but making special accommodations for white South Africans based on false conspiracy theories, that might be different. But, you know, context.
EdTo me cutting USAID is like, you put a quarter into a slot every day to keep millions of people alive. You don’t have to do it but it causes you no hardship. Then one day the job falls to people who are overtly white supremacist and they decide to stop doing it. It is most obviously murder
Economists estimate the ‘missing innovation’ would be worth 100 to 400 billion dollars in social value annually(!) How do we solve this?
This is perfect because tomatoes are maybe the single *best* example of something that is infinitely better when grown in a pot at home than when mass produced for the grocery store.
Matt NovakAnother odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.
The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.
Deportation Orders Soar in NYC as Trump 'Mega Master' Hearings AccelerateA new report finds removal orders for people who missed hearings more than doubled in New York City in June, as a new tactic of hastily scheduled court dates rolled out.www.thecityreporter.nyc
well this is easily the most detestable thing a president has ever said about us troops he had killed
