I mean it's not this simple but a handful of policy elites really did drastically reengineer our urban fabric in ways that were popular in the immediate term and created massive social dysfunction beyond that.

“We estimate that from the mid-2000s to 2022, exposure to the opioid epidemic continuously increased the Republican vote share in House, presidential, and gubernatorial elections.”

I'm all for woke 2 as long as we agree woo-woo is out, I want aggressively pro-science and medicine thanks

Chiropractors are henceforth un-woke

After a delayed start, younger home buyers are gaining ground. Millennials are converting rising earnings and family formation into purchases in their 30s, reaching parity with Gen X by their early forties and poised to modestly surpass them. blog.firstam.com/economics/a-...

This article does not contain a single piece of evidence for its central premise.

Zizek has a joke in one of his books that only the Leninist party state could complete the final evolution of capitalism without democracy

If you want a sense of the kind of things Liberal Currents is willing to publish under its banner of liberalism, read my magnum opus that debunks the entire 'sex based rights' scam, where I reframe that idea as a battering ram being used against the very *idea* of human rights.

Today's migration stats illustrate the migration doom loop in action... (from my presentation at the IMF last week)

Nearly every mechanism that made my career possible—Ford, NSF, Harvard BiGS—is gone or on the way to the chopping block.

I fully agree from an intellectual and philosophical point of view. I'd also add the idea fails on its own terms: "the market" is a shorthand for "company demand" which isn't always aligned with the long-term interest of students. 1/ via @bildoperationen.bsky.social

thanksgiving isn't actually in the bible. it's based on pagan and roman holidays that take place in the same data

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

The experience of going on Facebook these days is equivalent of having a stroke

The best time to be an American was when I was between the ages of 23 and 28. If we can go back to the time when I lived near all of my friends and had more free time and fewer responsibilities life would be great.

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

The second most important thing you can do is to baffle them. If the topic turns to politics, identify yourself as a republican. Then reveal that you mean classical republican. Start talking about the need for militias rather than standing armies & the importance of propertied independence.

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social PIECE: I finally have written up the extraordinary fact that the @federalreserve.gov has created an entire page specifically devoted to my FOIA requests entitled "Historical Board Documents". Also, my birthday sale is still underway! www.crisesnotes.com/the-federal-...

SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR A BAD CAUSE IS NOT A MORAL ACT

Hard to separate this iteration of fascism/authoritarianism from Big Tech. Big Tech has funded it; Big Tech's guiding ethos "move fast and break things" and "overconfidence in technocracy" informs how it governs; Big Tech's constant rent-seeking took over the federal government.

Skokie takes a stand.

The average medieval peasant could not buy a gas station delta 9 gummy and watch “Scooter Fail Compilation 5” on YouTube, which makes it difficult to compare GDP across time

"Nothing sounds more absurd to a high school-aged boy than the notion that someday he will better understand his place in the world, that he will be less irritated and confused all the time."

Today for @wbez.org, @estheryjkang.bsky.social and @amyqin.bsky.social cover worsening conditions at Indian Trails Apartments - a large affordable complex at 121st Pl & Indiana whose current owners are engaging in classic distant slumlord practices, and are profiting handsomely from it.

the screams were actually us from the future

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

Here's My Bloody Valentine playing 'Off Your Face' in Dublin. I've never understood how MBV managed to make this particular sound, and I certainly cannot imagine how they reproduced it live. youtu.be/kwaWQPaATCo?...

the "virgin megastore" was a great third place. you could take dates there and shoplift together as a romantic activity. richard branson has so much money and nobody who works there gave a shit, you could just walk out with stuff

welcome to Woke 2

NVIDIA has had the excellent luck to wind up in a market position where it just fucking prints money, and they're on the verge of squandering it out of FOMO and market mania.

it would be so much less wasteful to just burn a literal bonfire of cash

Yes, officer, I would like to report a murder

The importance of Balkan LGBT solidarity - gay Croatian MEP Gordan Bosanac (Možemo) meets with DaSeZna, Serbia's main LGBT rights group, at the European Parliament to receive their report on homophobia and transphobia in Serbia and ensure Brussels hears it.
