It may be a simple thing but I have a measure of inner contentment that even if I could make a computer program do this for me, I never would. Wouldn’t even occur to me.

You can see quite clearly from Trump's behavior during the presser that Trump is thinking only about his own monetary involvement with the Saudis. He is doing everything he can to make sure that is protected.

Yes - my suspicion all along was companies would eat into their margins to bide tariffs from consumers. Can’t do that forever!

It is really annoying that people have to keep saying this, and yet the gizmo cult is just going to keep raking in that cash

In 1862, @saulelbein.bsky.social writes, suffering textile workers streamed into a Manchester meeting hall. At stake: whether Britain should join the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. Proponents of "kitchen table politics" can learn a lot from what happened next. New, on Heat Death!

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Northern lights from Eastern Iowa tonight.

@whstancil.bsky.social it’s ok everything is fine.

While a 50 year mortgage might lower monthly payments, it drastically increases total interest and slows equity growth. Stimulating demand without fixing supply would likely raise prices. The core issue in the housing market isn't financing; it's the lack of supply.

The BEST case scenario he can give is 70% chance of failure on subsidies. wtf.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

The fucking narrative bs slung at Arsenal here. Sunderland moved their ad hoardings in, when THEY USE LONG THROWS MORE THAN US!! It’s corners we score from, you dullards. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Something Dems (especially natsecs types) need to get through their thick skulls is the only way we might come back from this internationally is if the accountability for it is swift, broad, and punishing Politicals, career type, in or out of govt c. 2029, no matter the rank, they all need to fry

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

The man being chased in this video is 68 year old Robert Held. Yesterday, Held filed a lawsuit against Broadview over their protest curfew hours.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Trump’s victims are now washing up in Trinidad: “The U.S. campaign targeting what it says is drug trafficking from Venezuela has exposed Trinidad to the fallout: unidentified bodies with burn marks and missing limbs showing up in its territory.“

Dango Ouattara finds the back of the net off the INSANE long throw to put Brentford on top vs Liverpool. 👀

You know what day should be a national holiday in 2029? THE DAY OF THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLDOZING OF THE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BALLROOM.

"Bailing out Bessent’s Buddies’ Bets on Argentina Trump bails out hedge funds’ failed bets on Milei while his foreign aid cuts will kill millions of children" @pkrugman.bsky.social paulkrugman.substack.com/p/bailing-ou...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

Carney: Up until now, more than 70 cents of every dollar of military capital spending by our government has gone to the United States. With our new Defense Investment Agency, we’ll make sure we build more of our security and defense capabilities here at home

I’m taken with this issue of Arsenal’s set piece threat supposedly being “unsustainable” . Was there any measurable trail off in scoring set piece goals in 2024/25? @adam.cannonstats.com @scott.cannonstats.com There certainly hasn’t been a trail off this season.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout. www.wsj.com/finance/arge...

The stove is sooooo tempting @josephpolitano.bsky.social @sharonk.bsky.social

I think, in the spirit of the frogs, the reaction to the shit video needs to avoid umbrage and lean into laughter. A collective “u mad, bro?”

immigrant grocery store owner who voted for Trump to lower grocery prices and then got wrecked by tariffs. mfer you run a business called "Wong Kai Imports" what the hell did you think was gonna happen

I feel like we're skipping over the fact that JD Vance said that the language spoken in the White House is WORSE than what was found on the Young Republicans text feed. Not only is he saying what those young people were saying was no big deal, he was fine with people in leadership saying WORSE!!!!!

The path to our reality-denying authoritarian moment has many origins, but was thinking today abt how long we’ve been on this path. In particular, was thinking abt how one of Gingrich’s first acts upon taking over the House for the first time in a generation was to gut all its expert institutions.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Everything is zero-sum for Trump. He cannot conceive of a transaction as anything other than a personal loss for him.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education. We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
