As both a certified CAR GUY and an economist-ish, I cannot imagine a headline more designed to drive me, personally, insane. This "flying car" technology is neither new nor novel. It is not practical and would not sell. Let me tell a story of actually useful car tech that never made it to market.

Today's reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive Chicago apartment raid was prompted by intel on a Venezuelan gang takeover. Records reveal the real story behind the raid: targeting alleged squatters with the landlord’s blessing. 👂 Listen to the full episode:

Both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry had such a genuine enthusiasm for performing that it was impossible not to love them for it, there were things more highly and lowly regarded in their bodies of work but both of them threw themselves into everything because it was pure joy for them and that rules

Look, just like Elon Musk I’ve never ran a profitable company, and I too never make good on predictions about business and everything else, and I also haven’t had an original idea since I was nine and don’t really understand technology or anything else… why can’t I be rich too?

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Anyone who cares about reproductive care access should be extremely alarmed. They could easily do the same to abortion providers in blue states. They are testing this out on trans people hoping most people won't care enough about it to stop it.

49ers have outsmarted everyone in the draft. They’re gonna walk away with 7 fourth rounders—the 3 they took in the second and third rounds and the 4 they wisely didn’t trade up for. Imagine getting 7 fourth rounders in a single draft! Nobody mocked that up.

On this Easter morning I would caution atheists that reminding christians of biblical slavery as some kind of moral gotcha will lead faster to reinstating slavery than it will to mass apostasy. Father forgive the logical argument-makers, for they know not what they do.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

i'd be a bit annoyed if I heard that there was a Hamas SuperLair under a hospital which required bombing the hospital and then later I found out there was no SuperLair at all. Has one prominent person written a "shit, that wasn't nice, lying about the hospital SuperLair" piece?

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
