cities fail to properly prevent homelessness or provide resources and a bunch of corrupt assholes said it's OK for those same cities to just publish the people they failed.

Be right back, I'm going to throw a dart at some comic books and make a startup about it. Headline going with the fully credulous present tense "Uses" as if this were in any way a real thing people can do.

Good on Woj for saying the nepotism convo shouldn't be centered around Bronny considering that the NBA is rife with nepotism all the way up the front office. Anyway, while I do find nepotism distasteful overall, there are definitely levels to it. An NBA player playing with his son is cool actually.

biz was likely just as bad 3y ago but they were smart enough to gin up a lot of stories about a "theft crisis" so they could move on with mass layoffs later without taking the blame. they'll make a thousand fired cashiers resent random black folks for a decade before they'll fix a bad business plan

One thing that anti-woke “comedy” is good for is exposing differentiators between normal decent people, for whom freedom is simply the right to exist without being dehumanized and bullied, and conservatives, for whom freedom is mostly the right to dehumanize and bully others.

There are mostly no jokes as such in anti-woke “comedy,” there’s only the gleeful expectation that you’re saying something that will make someone else feel belittled or bad. Which is what bullies find funny.

Wild that so many people out there don’t think of sin as things you do that cause harm, but rather some magical thing that can get you without you even knowing it (and it’s still your own fault somehow)

It should be a scandal that the US government still contracts with SpaceX at all, given what Elon Musk has been saying in public and, you know, all the rockets that blew up. That’s just…depressing

Social media is the best example of human evolution not preparing us to live in a society of millions. I've never seen a site that didn't devolve into paranoid fantasies about moderation.

If half your interview is about how your last boss had it out for you, you're probably not getting the job. Even if they did, you're not applying for your old job, the interviewer doesn't want to hear old office gossip, they want to hear that you understand the job you're applying for.

The source of the irrationality is pretty simple: it's middlebrow and cringe to say that a second trump presidency is an existential threat to the country, so if you consider yourself a sophisticate you dismiss it. But the resistance folks are right, and they've been right for eight years

Health care, shelter, food, and water make up 55% of the CPI. Energy, transportation, education, and communication make up the next 27%. Inflation is already weighted for the thing you say its missing.

If you’ve watched the passage of major legislation in Washington, you’ve seen how the mania for means testing social programs permeates political discussion as the sober, responsible compromise—from the reporting on the CBO score, to the holdout votes in the senate, to the sunday talk shows.

You forgot: 3) Negotiating ALL foreign trade agreements. Keeping raw materials and capital moving and stable is extremely complex and mostly handled by the executive branch. The benefit to the economy of having Democratic presidents is less about ideology than it is about occupational competence.

one of the things about John Roberts that the credulously fawning press completely misses is that his problems with the frothing Alito/Thomas wing aren't really on substance, but optics his goal is to bury fundamental conservative victories in a veneer of reasonable bullshit and he's good at it

the delicate balance of power (2024)

The scene is set somewhere deep inside a human body, as two weird little blob guys are seen chewing on the floor of a large wet mass, presumably the tissue of a body.
A differently shaped blob, with craggy lines in it like a stone of some sort appears at the corner, interrupting the reverie of the first two blobs and brandishing a knife as he warns that "you microplastic punks better fuck off, this is lead turf."
The two types of blob dudes are swept up in a violent brawl. One microplastic tears at a lead guy's skull with his teeth while, elsewhere a lead has a plastic pinned down and swings at him wildly with a bloody knife. It is a bloody, terrible scene of savage cruelty and animosity.
The scene pans out further to show a human's head in silhouette, an x-ray of his brain showing it as a soggy and torn up mass of blood and flesh.
We zoom out further to see the man within whom this battle rages, him unaware, a contented smile on his face as he says "I can legally operate a forklift."

If you want to fight government surveillance, go raise a stink about all the cameras cops have up in black neighborhoods for no reason. Are you doing that? Or are you just hanging a high minded principle on your desire to drive fast?
