Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3°C by 2100. Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth. 🧵

“Did women ruin the workplace?” is of course wildly misogynistic. But beyond that, this framing assumes the nostalgic version of “the workplace” was good and awesome and worth maintaining. I hope women have ruined the workplace. Let’s go, girls!

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

While there is uncertainty about the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago at the moment, there already is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity targeted at the unhoused community. Here’s what you should know about your rights when encountering ICE agents if you’re unhoused.

“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

We did it for you Dick Cheney

An affordable housing mandate.

here ya go

And three, it insinuated that political journalism doesn’t belong in a magazine geared largely toward young women

This is devastating

The Power Fantasy of Superman is you still have a staff job on a newspaper.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Democracy dies with free overnight shipping

I remain convinced that “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was a mission statement.

How does one atone for telling a stranger the wrong information—do I need to track them down now

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social make an ad listing all the issues the country is facing right now/the GOP is gleefully ignoring, particularly relating to cost of living, and end it with this clip

TIL that Kenny Vasoli, whose voice my mind can independently conjure due to 20-mumbles years of listening to The Starting Line, is the same guy singing in Vacationer, a band I’ve listened to since 2012

@cnbc.com you’re just letting him blatantly lie like that on your network?

Oh to be an old worm

We have environmental laws that can't protect our public lands from economic exploitation, but can prevent dorms. We have historic preservation that can't protect the people's house, but can save Wallingford from duplexes.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

My brain 30 mins after hanging out with every person I know:

Where’s my paycheck!!!

I’m not one to pick another team to root for. Screw all of them. It’s horror movie season. I’ll see you in the spring baseball.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Next time he tries to pretend he doesn’t know what someone’s talking about to avoid answering, the follow up should be “are you now finding it difficult to remember important people and issues?”

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road. "Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!" source: www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

That’s my rep

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Caught this at @facetschicago.bsky.social last year and really enjoyed it!

One day I hope to love someone as much as a UMich grad loves living in Chicago

These are such hard times. To anyone who is really struggling right now, I just want to say: watch Real Housewives of Salt Lake City #goutdicksucker

Glad the rapture seems to be waiting until after the new episode of RHOSLC airs

It's wonderful when two sociopaths with the mindset of serial killers find each other.

We often say 'Racism is expensive' but it is the most accurate diagnosis of USA's troubled history IDK if we comprehend how expensive, so here is a 20yr sample. At the time US GDP was 16 trillion But it's never been more costly per day than now OP is right that there seems to be no cost too high
