If someone's response to an attempted 9/11 is "this is the joos doing a false flag" it's best not to follow them.

A lot of ‘90s stuff needs to stay way the hell back in the ‘90s, but imo the ‘90s were correct that clear colored plastic is Fun and Cool.

People yell about the Median Voter not understanding things, but truly the lowest form of hominid is a Gen Xer that voted Green in 2000 and hollers like a hit dog every single time you invoke the name Nader.

YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.

It would be a monumental improvement for America, but especially for the Republican Party, if we elected the President through a plurality vote.

One thing that’s been striking to me as an Elder Millennial is how certain narratives about the economy got frozen in amber at the end of the Bush administration, and never really got updated again. Wages are flat, millions of uninsured, sometimes you even hear about preexisting conditions!

it is instructive to look back and see how much people believed this, for instance, in the mid to late 1970s.

As a reminder, a ton of realtors told people to buy houses that they could not easily afford because they would be able to refinance at a lower rate in two years.

My take from this story is that Joe Biden was the only guy will to de-escalate and pretty much everyone else chose to kill people over any other available option and Biden's impulses lost.

One way to support struggling working class men would be to reform how unemployment insurance is financed so it no longer incentivizes firms to not hire entry level men. aibm.org/policy/fix-u...
aibm.org
Fix unemployment insurance to help young men into work
Experience rating in unemployment insurance taxes deters companies from hiring young men, who are viewed as being at higher risk of layoffs.

one thing that isn't accounted for in the SuperPAC discussion is that it changes the economics for partisan media firms from "pick the ads most likely to elect your principal, donald trump" to "pick the ads which are most likely to induce further donations by your principal, elon musk"

This immediately made me think of that bizarre thing where some BookTok types don’t like first person narrators because they think first person narrators are supposed to be literally them. “It keeps saying I did things, but those aren’t things I would do!”

The two facts about the labor market to keep in mind are: 1.) The employment rate is unusually high. 2.) The hiring rate is unusually low. The hiring rate is *especially* low given that the hiring rate is usually positively correlated with employment! www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-tinder...

The lesbian bar story does seem to have been pushed into the mainstream by some unsavory characters, but I don't think that changes that the reason this took off as hard as it did was queer, disabled, otherwise marginalized people who've seen this drama with our own eyeballs play out a dozen times
