"I think this current Supreme Court is committed not to leftist liberalism by any means but, basically, to liberalism. They all believe in freedom of speech. They’re all highly committed to freedom of religion. Pluralism is something they embrace." -- Sunstein to Chotiner

There’s a guy in the mentions of @golikehellmachine.com going to the mat defending car dealerships, I’m levitating.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

ah shit, I had swapped lambda and coreweave around to make the diagram more sane and forgot to move the super micro funding arrow from coreweave to lambda. fixed

The party is made up of primary voters. If primary voters don't select the "leading" candidate, then that candidate wasn't really "leading," were they?

Campaigning for primary candidates is allowed. That's why we have primaries.

Thanks I hate it.

Holding 5.5% gains pre-market.

got raptured, sorry. my 2009 honda is stuck in the middle lane of the freeway, just kinda idling. can somebody go pick it up. yeah i'm back. it was boring there, you can't post

This morning, the @chicagofed introduced new labor market indicators that combine private sector data with official labor statistics to provide a real-time view of hiring, layoffs and other job separations, and an early forecast of the unemployment rate. www.chicagofed.org/research/dat....

Bloody kids. I was doing this in 1999-01 and honestly that was less of a casino.

Absolutely *wild* fact: China's GDP deflator is 9.5% lower than it was a decade ago (-1% annualized deflation for a decade).

I think it's fairly interesting that she says this at all.

I was not familiar with either this incredible blog post or the series it covers but having read some of John Ringo’s military SF it absolutely hits home. (For the record the pathologies in the Ringo series I was obsessed with as a kid were, uh, less depraved than the ones in this post).

Shana tovah to my Jewish friends and good luck in tomorrow’s Rapture to my Christian ones

Good name alert

doomers: there’s not going to be elections in America ever again me: if they can’t even cancel an entertainer due to popular pushback what the fuck makes you think they can cancel elections

The snort I let out when I saw the plaintiff and got through the third sentence of the summary.

Today we got a (very reasonable & completely warranted) explanation from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for why they are delaying publication of the annual Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) by about a month. Transparency is good! www.bls.gov/cex/notices/...

Yeah that’s a very revisionist, inaccurate take of the dot com bust. There was a recession? But it’s a common idea that that era was all malinvestment in dumb silly stuff (like… ordering things online? Yeah what a dumb idea thankfully it never caught on)

This seems wrong to me because there was a ton of infrastructure buildout in the dotcom boom. The difference seems to me that personal wealth is even more tied up in financial assets and they may be supporting a lot more consumption than in the past.

like i was saying

...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!

BCRED cutting their distribution from 10.5% to 9.6% tells you everything you need to know about the outlook for direct lending. Hit the bid before the gates go up, you guys

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

Important to note that Congress has never passed any law giving the President authority to designate anything as a “domestic terrorist organization.” As a result, this would appear to have no direct legal effect beyond acting as a statement of policy for the Executive Branch.

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

*US ADVISES PREGNANT WOMEN TO AVOID TYLENOL OVER FEARS OF AUTISM *TRUMP: SHOULDN'T GIVE TYLENOL TO A CHILD *TRUMP: PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD TALK TO DOCTORS ABOUT TYLENOL *TRUMP: TAKING TYLENOL IS NOT GOOD lol *KENVUE SHARES RISE 5% POSTMARKET [Kenvue makes Tylenol]

A fun fact related to this that I dragged up this afternoon: if you bought the NASDAQ 100 starting in the mid-1990s, at NO POINT over the next 10 years would your returns have been higher in the more diversified S&P 500.

Anyone who pledges to do whatever it takes to backstop Argentina's currency and economy has not quite internalized what that job entails.

Good lord if this is the way people respond to straightforward wins against the regime. Exhausting.

being unable to grasp that one of these things is *significantly* worse than the other, in every possible way, is completely disqualifying for anyone who even wants to post about politics, let alone be involved in them

*MACRON RECOGNIZES PALESTINIAN STATE AT UN ASSEMBLY

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

Okay we're there.

This Stephen Miran speech is absolutely nuts

*ORSTED VENTURE WINS COURT RULING TO RESTART WORK ON WIND FARM

Fun little chart for @hmeisler.bsky.social

Important to note this is not even remotely exculpatory of murder, which is what our government did to the boat’s occupants.

A terrible case and a terrible line of cases – and like many of the worst things in our society: totally bipartisan.
