In 1987 I sat through an hour long lecture in my Modern US History course parsing several different complicated interpretations of why the 1929 crash happened. Future historians will be like "Donald Trump was an ignorant fool who imposed pointless tariffs that crashed the global economy. The end."

This country desperately needs good journalists holding this administration to account, especially as major media institutions are failing the moment badly. If you ever bitch on here about a goddamn article being paywalled, I will block you on sight.

Trump has a plan to remake the economy. But he’s not explaining it very well.
President Donald Trump’s economic plan is causing brief pain while the nation advances to a new “Golden Age.” But officials have been much less clear about what that destination will look like.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Given that Braxton Bragg was an incompetent racist traitor who was utterly despised by his officers and soldiers, it makes sense that a bottom-scraper like Hegseth would adore him.

My latest song "Aces Over Deuces" has finally dropped. It is some heavy guitar + a bit of spacey guitar + some guitar vocal lines + some more guitar (and drums). This came together as 2 separate riffs - one of which I've been trying to figure out what to do with for many months. #musicsky (🎶🔗🧵)

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

No, we can't agree to disagree. This isn't sports. This isn't us rooting for 2 different teams and the winner of the game has no impact on your life, my life or our kids' lives. You support someone who promises to hurt me and people I love. As Charlie Chaplin said, "I don't shake hands with Nazis."

As someone who has been online in one way or another for over 35 yrs, I look on TikTok the way elves look upon the death of a human. Perhaps sad at its passing, but aware it will soon be replaced. I know of a graveyard full of dead platforms, with names no one speaks aloud anymore, and it is there.

The Soviet Union built a domestic tea industry in Georgia's Caucasus Mountains. But after 1989, it was mostly abandoned. Georgian tea makers are now reclaiming the fields and long-overgrown tea forests. Here's a thread about how we're involved.
