Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 9hEmily Tamkin is a great and thoughtful writer - I would recommend reading anything she writes, and this column is no exception. forward.com/opinion/8529... @emilyctamkin.bsky.socialforward.comMayor Mamdani's antisemitism strategy doesn’t define antisemitism. That’s a good thing.Contrary to some critics' beliefs, we don't need a definition to fight hatred 020
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 9h"And insisting that our understanding of antisemitism always and only adhere to one definition is like insisting that we always and only use a hammer for home renovation. Sometimes that is useful; sometimes that can result in destroying your house." 1125
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 11hOn certain forms of disability you're actually prohibited from having more than around $2500 in assets, which means you are basically forced to live on the edge of financial ruin without any ability to withstand even a small emergency expense. 251
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 12hthe thing is you still need a phone number for registering for a lot of services, so unless you're willing to get a cheap international number or something to handle those, you'll probably find this to be more painful than it's worth 100
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 13hAside from the fact that people famously hate picking out cell phone plans, this is hilarious because the entire concept of "there is a market where you can buy health insurance yourself" is an Obamacare invention! It didn't exist before that! (nationwide - some states like MA did their own) 1100

Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yes. I'm handwaving over the mechanism because in some cases it's direct (even statutory) and in others it's more of pne pressure/force among many, or even just a rule of thumb. But that's the ELI5 way to think about it - just remember that up isn't *always* bad. bsky.app/profile/chim... 060
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You don't really need to know what a bond is. An easier way to think about it is just: "the cost of mortgages, corporate debt, and government debt all went up, and stock prices are being pulled down". That's what the interest rates mean. The broader economic implications follow from that. 0103
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 29/09/2026that said, there are benefits to rising rates too. It's not as simple as "more is bad". But if you're already worried about recession indicators, this is another troubling sign 241
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 29/09/2026basically: bonds are people loaning money to the federal government. But rates also impact other things: mortgage rates, corporate stocks and liquidity, and government spending. If housing becomes more expensive, companies build less, and the government can't spend as much, well.... 240

Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If you're incarcerated in a NY state prison, you will be regularly subjected to strip searches and your mail will be destroyed, because the state wants to ensure that prison guards have a monopoly on drug sales that happen within prisons. The most grotesque form of protectionism imaginable. 032
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"Where are the drugs coming from?" Maybe the fact that NY state law all but guarantees a smooth path for officers to pick up a second shift as drug dealers? www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/09/28/n... 162

Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026there is something to be said about the experience of being able to spend your 20s in a setup (one way or the other) where you can make egregiously irresponsible decisions and still bounce back without long-term consequences 020
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I definitely do know a few people who come from Big Money™ who went there (the embodiment of the "rebellious hippie/bohemian child of the aristocrat" stereotype) so there definitely are/were those there, but I don't know what the actual distribution of the student body is 020
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026although I know the school has had financial issues recently (before the closing) and I don't know if that affected the student profile at all - ie, who could afford to go there with less assistance, etc. 120
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026yeah I would be more likely to conclude that these are college students/recent grads who have no concept of personal finances yet and are about to (or in the case of one of them, already are) reaching the "find out" stage in a very painful way 441
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026true but they love their AI now, and this also sounds like someone asked ChatGPT to generate the most ridiculously on-brand story and hit "publish" without proofreading bsky.app/profile/chim... 000

Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026To be honest, it doesn't take that much money to *open* a bar, especially in a low-CoL place like Western Mass. The challenge is keeping it afloat, and also doing so in a way which doesn't wreck your personal finances - both of which sound like are a problem here 220
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 @chimeracoder.bsky.social · 25/09/2026well the remaining owner said she's in debt and sleeping in her car and the landlord is demanding $3900 in back rent - I don't know if the other two left her with the bag or what, but it doesn't sound like they have much money (anymore) 120
