very tired of being told it is the responsibility of urban democratic voters never to risk possibly maybe by chance seeming less than respectful of rural red state life and then watching thousands in nebraska cheer on the president joking about a nuclear strike on me and millions of my neighbors

I would say “Because US media is owned by fellow oligarchs” but in reality that’s only one half ot the truth. The other half is it has always been true that US media consumers, and therefore US media have never focused on anything not US-centric. As this hick learned when I moved to Japan.

This is the third of the ten video meditations I recorded in Kharkiv, Ukraine, close to the Russian border. The first couple were about courage and cowardice, which led me to the importance of moral categories in general. snyder.substack.com/p/moral-lang...

Maybe only good for a laugh from POLS and ECON folks, but my contribution to the cause:
Parody of Eric Schmitt questioning of Jack Smith: Schmidt: Did you or did you not write a book via Ealy? Criticising slavery rent seeking by landed interest and landlords and other predatory practices by God chosen the wealthy? Smith: with all due respect you moron that was Adam Smith. In 1776.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

There are many, many smart and talented people whose educational accomplishment on their resume begins and ends with a GED. Lauren Boebert is not one of them. That people in two different districts of one of the most well-educated states in the country choose her is a stain on my beloved state.

I admire Sushko, but. Yes, drones a risk, but 100k un/ill-trained & badly equipped troops? Certainly PL, FI, almost certainly SE, would go to war, regardless of what other NATO members do. At the least NO & DK would close the Baltic. Even w/BY support, RU is no match for PL & the Scandinavians

Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."

The craziest part about the out of control diesel prices that are about to make grocery prices skyrocket is that none of this would be happening if Trump hadn’t started a war with Iran to distract Americans from his time with Jeffrey Epstein.

I wrote this analysis after the 2024 election, looking at at the data we had, even though it cut across the “vibes” that somehow support for trans people lost Kamala Harris the election. I think after Sen. Markey’s swamping Seth Moulton it holds up www.signorile.com/p/the-role-o...

The role of LGBTQ voters in the election shows a path for Democrats' future
Queer people, a larger bloc than ever before, voted overwhelmingly for Harris. They and the young voters who embrace LGBTQ rights are essential to winning.

This, it would seem, is an explanation for why Zelenskyy agreed with Syrskyi on axing Fedorov. The politics of popularity. Unfortunate, really. Zelenskyy has been remarkable. He’ll eventually get the Nobel Peace Prize, if only he doesn’t fear being Churchilled.

Yet another Kalshi offering that serves no legitimate economic purpose. It's not possible to make a rational bet on this without material non-public information. It's a market solely for fraud by both regulators and corporate insiders, and everyone connected to it in any way should go to prison.
