typical self-centered tech bro.

It's remarkable that people still think of this in terms of large amounts of manual labor, when modern manufacturing is largely automated, with administrative and high-skilled jobs dominating the process to manage machinery. If you want to do the former, build housing.

he dumb, yes. he thinks he has plot (harvard) armor.

also, almost totally historically wrong. hardly anyone used gold though the unit of account (ledger money) was often "gold" as were bills of exchange but physical gold rarely changed hands; more likely small silver or copper coins; even more likely non-monetary forms among average people (peasants)

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social are you up to it? if not, time to resign your positions

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

not "confrontational" - doing what the legislature is supposed to do in oversight of public entities. UVA is technically a publicly owned corporation rather than a state agency, IIRC, but is still iunder the jurisdiction of the general assembly.

is this not just kidnapping?

On the one hand, latest EO on domestic terrorism reads like an old-fashioned diatribe about the anarchists. On the other hand, by definition, anarchism isn’t deeply or secretly organized. 🤷‍♀️ Gibberish. Yet that’s the point. Vague to encompass anything

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

the key difference between traditional medicare and medicare advantage (MA - Feds buy private insurance for you) is that MA requires prior authorization for anything expensive. MA = HMO. profits come from denying services. same bad incentives here. = a bailout of failing MA health insurance firms!

my first thought was, what could go wrong giving a guy with dementia and anger issues more leeway over the nuclear football. my second was, we are all narcotrafficantes now, in his mind.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

#empiresuicidewatch 85 what could go wrong letting them have the sudentenland after they marched into the rhineland? so small and irrelevant.

he is trying to ensure that there aren't Black soldiers because he thinks they won't massacre protests

once you start talking about actual production you inevitably have to talk about exploitation... sorry, i mean "human relations." as max frisch said: about guest workers: "we wanted labor but we got human beings." better not to look too closely at what's in the sausage.

not insane. ideological convergence around shutting down education except religious indoctrination, shutting women in the home, running a corrupt govt, reducing law to a weapon vs outsiders, enforcing ethnic homogenization around a dwindling ethnic core

#caturday and here's two more!

one part of the 2008 global financial crisis was banks (A) lending $$ to folks (B) that B then used to buy the bank's stock, pushing up its market cap and allowing the bank to source more funds to lend to B, who then.... the whole icelandic banking system was built on this scam.

no need to wait! he heads the federal housing finance agency which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who owe $342 billion and guarantee $6.6 trillion (Tr) of US mortgages. one of the few agencies that can really fuck up the economy as it basically funds the entire housing sector - 50% of mortgages

something something political violence

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

you cannot expect a manly masculine man to take questions from a woman. but also it seems you cannot expect the manly masculine men of the WH press pool to defend each other.

helllloooo @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov no deal without an end to recission, masked agents, vaccine denial, arbitrary firing, etc

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

In case you’re wondering, it’s barely fall & our children’s hospital is already almost always full with kids boarding in the ER. And the pediatric workforce is stretched thin. Our system does not have the capacity to care for the influx of vaccine preventable diseases that is coming.

step 1: big plans, big builds step 2: drive away all foreign factory building expertise (e.g. Koreans, Taiwanese) step 3: ... Step 4: profit!!1! for favored grifters incompetently building new facilities today's WSJ. obvi we can build buildings... but it's not just the building!

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social will you ever step up?

premeditation?

cost of vaccine, c. $100 cost of treating covid if patient goes on ventilator, c. $20,000. unlike the woo woos & eugenicists, the insurers live in the real (ie must be profitable) world. they can do the math, and in this case it favors doing the right thing. (AHIP is insurers)

people really need to read Carlota Perez intense hype and bubbles are a key part of how major technological changes happen, they are why the tech and its supporting infrastructure gets rolled out quickly on a massive scale

Trump is preparing to target liberal non-profits and Democratic funding networks with executive orders as "punishment" for their alleged involvement in Charlie Kirk's murder. Meanwhile there's no evidence the shooter was left-wing & most political violence is right-wing www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...
