Economic impact of 0-3 Saints: Uptick in the number of shoppers opting for paper at the supermarket check out

No childhood hero ever held up better.

Combine this dismantling of fair housing enforcement with the evisceration of the CFPB and the efforts to privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and you have a perfect recipe for racialized hyper-predation in housing markets. Lots of money to be made at the expense of low-wealth folks of color.

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

Awful: White House is circulating draft bill to vastly expand Trump's authority to bomb "drug cartels" w/o Congress. It's a "blank check to use force anywhere in the world against anyone he designates a narco-terrorist," says @bcfinucane.bsky.social. All on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2007...

what are we even doing here

Yup. It’s not about winning over republicans; it’s about defeating the left

Week 3 in the books. Time to start watching Arch Manning highlights

The Saints are the first team in NFL history to gain 280+ yards, give up fewer than 330 yards, not lose the turnover battle, and lose a game by more than 30.

Lost by 31 points. But at least we weren't watching the Charlie Kirk funeral

After three games I think part of the problem is I don't like Moore's offense

We may be witnessing one of those "remember where you were when" games here.

28-3. Right where we want em

plenty time left

Man it's like 5 minutes into the game and the Saints are already down two touchdowns. Most Saints fans haven't even finished their 4th beer yet

One of these days the Saints are going to come out dressed as the Saints. Not yet, though

Nothing matters to them except personally not losing their jobs or salaries. It will always be your fault for not voting hard enough and having the audacity to believe in something. They don’t want to make anything better, they just want to endlessly critique wanting to make anything better

Every four years people like Neera Tanden enter emotional blackmail mode screaming that you have no choice but to vote for Democrats because “abortion is on the ballot” and then a year later they put their book out about how Democrats ate shit because you stupid voters care about abortion too much

it's bad. the things are bad. send post

Every day it's just looking around to see if anyone anywhere in charge of anything knows what they're doing and NOPE. No one is coming to help.

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

Investor alert: SEC “is acting quickly to pull back on how much information Wall Street giants, gadflies and the public at large may get about a company’s financial health as well as their ability to take those companies to court.” Via Politico

The people they are kidnapping are disappearing.

btwn the state sponsored censorship hypocrisy and stuff like this it really feels like a theme of being alive right now is power feeling like it doesn’t even have to try - just treating everyone with obvious contempt

Shut the fuck up challenge

These are the first steps toward placing the city under state receivership and basically liquidating everything www.nola.com/news/new-orl...

anyone who can pay $1,000,000 to bribe the president is exceptionally something

The chair of the New York Democratic Party refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for the mayor of the largest city in America should not be the chair of the New York Democratic Party. That there is even a debate on this is baffling

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

"Judge blocks Trump from...." no he's doing it anyway

If a publisher won't commit to human editing, art and translation, the deal is not worth having. They're signalling how little they care about the final product, which comes with your name attached. This is the right place to push back. Having an agent here helps.

can go on forever like this edition.cnn.com/2025/09/18/p...

Press warned to back up as DHS police take lawmakers were taken away in zip ties, among them Comptroller Brad Lander and 10 other state reps including Bobby Carol, Marcela Mitayanes, Julia Salazar, Emily Gallagher, Jabari Brisport, Jessica Gonzalez Rojas,... story TK

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

The loser energy that radiates off "it's illegal not to like me" shit like this is palpable bsky.app/profile/zack...

Much earlier than usual! It's City Saint/Country Saint with @lronmexico.bsky.social and special guest @mobute.bsky.social in the aftermath of the 49ers win over the Saints. Plus @skookses.bsky.social is back as the Man In The Dome. I feel like we have to win one soon, right?

Unfortunately, politicians today are debating how best to throw queer people to the wolves, in order (they say) to gain power & accomplish a greater good. Let the cautionary tale of Richard Ogilvie, who rode harassment of 1960s Chicago gay bars to the governorship, warn em: youtu.be/bWQihodSgPQ?...

But it IS sustainable. The economy is just rich people sending money to other rich people. It's perfectly self-contained and sustainable for them. It's also why democracy is completely defunct. I've been saying this for years. prospect.org/economy/2025...

The thing about Burnside is he's basically a libertarian troll. Does more harm than good in a lot of ways www.nola.com/entertainmen...

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

One major story of this campaign that people aren't talking about yet. JP Morrell who is rolling to victory on the strength of some big money conservative donors will spend the next 4 years punishing the activist groups who tried to unseat him. www.nola.com/news/city-co...

This Day in Labor History: September 18, 1873. The firm of the railroad monopolist and financier Jay Cooke collapsed, sparking the Panic of 1873. This sparked the first global depression in the history of industrial capitalism. Corporate greed threw huge numbers of Americans out of work!
