Happy equinox!

The primary cause of the national debt is that the very wealthy don’t pay taxes. Migrants pay their share. The oligarchs Miller fronts for do not.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

If dating apps are profit-motive-driven corporations with fiduciary responsibilities to their shareholders, it follows logically that a user meeting the love of their life and subsequently deleting their account is an outcome to be avoided. Is it time for dating apps to be public utilities? 🤔

Sigh. When we use “is” like the title of this article, it’s almost completely meaningless because it’s true for nearly every possible thing (there is some evidence for X). Public facing articles should focus more on the question: Is the evidence any good? www.popularmechanics.com/science/a707...

Huge red herring here! Why are we analyzing the political power of various segments of the working class and middle class? None of those groups ever get anything they ask for. Political power in the U.S. is held by extremely wealthy individuals and by large corporate interests.

I had a ticket to see Moz in the 90s in Pittsburgh. He canceled. I’ve never seen a show of his.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

A fascinating documentary here about John Barbirolli from 1965, showing him conducting Berlioz, Bruckner and Tchaikovsky, playing the cello, cooking dinner with his wife Evelyn Rothwell, telling anecdotes, and doing a fearful amount of smoking. Excellent image quality too. youtu.be/laqDg0b_v0A?...

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

I like daylight savings time and I think we should keep it.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality & and soul.

Democrats would win a generational landslide victory running on this platform in ‘26 and ‘28 but Schumer and Jeffries will never support it, which is why they need to be ousted.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

It’s called a functioning spinal column. Thank you @scoutingamerica.bsky.social.

people born in america probably don’t realize how cool america used to be. how many random people around the world built their identity around US signifiers. the decline of American cultural hegemony is going to have long term consequences we're only beginning to see. new post

Ahead of tonight’s State of the Union, we’re looking at the impact of President Trump’s tax policies one year into his second administration. The bottom line is that all but the richest Americans are paying more in taxes this year.

Why do we allow this to be legal? 🤔
