I think a growing trend heading into the back half of the Roaring Twoenties (tm) is generalized consumer backlash towards brands.

Fed just announced the names of the people who will lead Warsh's five task forces. Full list: www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/p... #EconSky

As an American, sorry, the boycott should end when Canada is ready for it to end.We can sell our wines to the Venezuelans, who I'm sure have the incomes for our prices.

Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months

The Left and Right usually meet at Antisemitism, and is demonstrated beautifully in our present day. Horseshoe Theory is real like Gravitational Theory is real.

I have decided to lay out part of my first paycheck at New Job for purely speculative investments.

Every new job and every year it’s tougher to actually force myself to want to be here.

I’m flying out of here in August, didn’t realize the change was happening so soon. What should my attire be that day? Wrong answers only

Seniors with taxable incomes below $150,000 have special tax deductions now on their SS income. Young people will not receive SS. I am SICK of the tax code being so heavily weighted in favor of old people! How much more unfair can we make the tax system? How much more must young people suffer?

The primary benefit I’m seeing of owning your own accounting firm, based on the bosses I’ve had, is that you can snort, cough, slurp, and do other disgusting things in front of your staff and they can’t comment how disgusting it is.

Only took me 3 days at the new job to decide that QuickBooks has to die and I have to be the one to kill it.

A predictable yet nonetheless unfortunate consequence of Chump referring to his supporters as a “movement”, is now every chud candidate does this in a stupid populist attempt to gin up support, and this is what’s preventing Maine Kampf from dropping out. He believes he is part of a movement.

On the Home Front, above all else, we must teach the next generation that there used to be Better Times, politically at least, that we used to be able to think about Real Issues, and have Real Discussion, and that we can reclaim those Glory Days of Discourse. We didn’t used to hate each other.

I cannot believe this. RIP Lauren Bennett, the pop sensation that told the world to “Put your hands up” for Party Rock Anthem, the siren song of the Last Great American Rock Band, LMFAO. I’m putting my hands up now and forever.

America will have to, to borrow a lesson from one of @derparrot.bsky.social videos, approach its friends with an agenda of reconciliation, when It Happens. It is the only way to try and mend the burned bridges, and there won’t be another chance.

Remember when we cared about the effectiveness of US military action, or put serious thought into the reasons for it and the consequences of it? Crazy how kinetic strikes have fallen the way of the insider trading. This is why I don’t believe there will be a second civil war. We’re too lazy.

In November, Florida residents will vote on whether to slash property taxes. Cities and counties are already scrambling to prepare for a potential overhaul of how they pay for all sorts of services, from policing to pothole repairs. on.wsj.com/4vt3GME

They never have a single thing to say, or even a single thought for, the couple dozen Islamic or Christian countries. Only ever the one single Jewish one. Why would I ever take this argument seriously if it remains so incredibly one-sided?

What can I possibly say that’s clearer than this: an explicit statement from a Party Strategist, detailing: “Talk about Gaza and literally nothing else of substance.” How much clearer could it possibly be?

A pretty consistent theme emerging where I find a product I like, I buy it, and then that product is advertised to me online so aggressively that I am repulsed and never buy that product again. Every such case. Advertising is cancer.

It’s going to be a tighter budget than ever this year. But you know what I’m not doing? Claiming that it’s impossible to live like this. Because I’m living fucking proof that it is not only possible, but manageable, to own a home on an average income in this country.

Home Insurance & Real Estate Taxes will run me over $16k this year. Nearly 25% of my gross income. This doesn’t even account for mortgage payments. No wonder nobody is moving to FL anymore. This is a hellscape!

It’s going to be potshots likely until the MoU expires in 60 days, at which point, what? The Strait fully closes again? But Iran will have made tens of billions, to do what with?

Tough sledding for our guys, Belgium is far more aggressive and we’re playing our most passive game of the tournament. Need to turn it on in the second half, get more 2-on-1s, and stop passing it back to Freese.

Leave it to the far left to turn “Vote blue no matter who” into a line of support for rapist Nazis. They aren’t even blue, pretty sure they’re purple, the way libertarians are yellow.

And now, we shall all poast together. Or most assuredly, we will all poast separately.

Sports are culture. Sport has brought humanity together for thousands of years, and allows us to focus on things that are good. And in our present modernity, those sports aren’t even gladiatorial in nature! Get into sports, doesn’t matter which ones. It rounds out your brain, like music does.

What a joke. $80k gets you there in most of the country. I would know bc that’s what my household exists on, and we do just fine.

With technological innovation more or less leading economies to higher productive capacity using fewer workers concentrated in very specific industries, I wonder. Is Dutch Disease a bug, or a feature, in advanced economies?

Everything is Claude now

This one hurts. We’re throwing away the next crop of Liberals for a crop of DSA that are not our allies.

It’s hilarious how much the maga people hate their supporters

Patriotism is a good thing. This country is worth fighting for.

I used to say that GLP-1 medications were magic injections (derogatory). After 3 days on a GLP-1 pill, I can confidently say it is magic (laudatory). You like to think that willpower is all you need. And maybe it is, But boy does this help.

How did the USA become one of the most propering economies in history? An expansive continent wide market coupled with democratic institution and appropriate public goods and regulations. If we can see this much progress in 250 years imagine how much more we'll see in the next?

Income and Expenditure are two lines, both sloped positively. When expenditures increase faster than incomes, people lose. When the reverse happens, people win. In 2020-22, expenditures increased much faster than incomes. Since neither line slopes down, the goal was to push the income line higher.

CollegeMarching isn’t on Bluesky (yet) but they’ve been sharing marching band renditions honoring July 4th all day. Here’s the @gohuskies.bsky.social marching band! www.facebook.com/share/r/1Cb3...

youtu.be/vYHFKbTSdqA?... Blessed to have been a part of this ensemble and to celebrate America, still the greatest country in the history of the world.

Polymarket throwing their money away on sponsorships to the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, an event that needs absolutely zero additional sponsorships, is American Behavior I full-throatedly support.

If they’re labeling AOC a Zionist simply for not wanting a full embargo, then they have no fucking clue what Zionism means. And that red hand, clearly they just want Jews dead. What else could it mean? But regardless, welcome to Zionism, @aoc.bsky.social , happy to have you!

This is a neat thread (and the replies) but I think I have to disagree. First, the number disparity isn't that large for most of the war, but also it is not clear to me that the CSA's strategic position demanded the destruction of the Army of the Potomac. What it required was a failure of US will.

Decided to turn on Gettysburg for the remainder of the evening. It is frankly stunning how all of culture has physically sped up the past 30 years…

Replacing every country's national anthem in the pre-match to The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony

I love it when Actual Hezbollah Supporters tell me I’m not on the left. If it’s your party now, you’re correct, I want no part of it.

I feel good about still holding one contract of #$NVDA simply because they’re the biggest company in the world. I do not own any other chip stocks at this time and will not be buying as they fall.

180lbs and halfway officially to the weight loss goal. Jfc.

We are seemingly begrudgingly accepting the fact that Peak Oil, Globally, was probably in 2023-24.

I simply wouldn’t listen to sports takes from a guy who’s profile picture is Karl Marx and who wrote a book about trying to destroy the greatest sport God ever invented.
