All these guys spent all this effort to get "fuck you" money and can't even bring themselves, even once, to use it to say "fuck you" to Trump. Pathetic.

How have You avoided this sort of trap that otherwise intelligent ”idea creators“ have fallen into? Is it that your website is more journalism than opinion? You also get in online knife fights. Yglesias and you were closer politically 20 years ago. He’s cooked his brain And you have not.

@joshtpm.bsky.social Hope you don’t take offense, Josh, and maybe a better conversation to have over at TPM… but you have a fenced off model for revenue as well, surviving off subscribers that mostly agree with you. This is but one relatively inoffensive example of a guy who’s fried his brain.

Yeah but moral panics are never caused by real dangers. It’s easy to create a moral panic at things people find annoying. I think it’s this website that’s taught me that people conflate “annoying to me” with bad and dangerous. I also imagine ATV’s cause deaths out of the way And out of sight.

So if 100 old guys retired, and 50 women and 50 men replaced them, you’d have -50 net jobs for men and +50 jobs for women even though no new jobs were actually created.

laarc26.bsky.social @laarc26.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I don’t think that’s it. This report is for net employment changes. New jobs - lost jobs - RETIRMENT. Boomers who are retiring are more likely to be white and male. If an old white dude retires and a woman replaces him, that’s +1 for this chart. If a guy replaces him it’s +0

And of course, you all clarify this rather misleading (on its face) data point in the comments and it’s seen by like 3 people. I appreciate the good work and effort.

Good for headline numbers but not great for an economy. Are employers finding the workers they need? Not if you read any of the surveys they respond to.

If the left is responsible for stopping 15 year olds from saying dumb shit while the right isn’t even responsible for what the literal President says, humanity is fucked. Sometimes people are wrong on the internet.

You posted it so … Lagos. Instagram serves this up to me frequently and it’s fun. I wish it weren’t associated with Portnoy. It’s always the same when I watch it: I usually guess the questions and do better than most of Portnoy’s employees. Feel good then guilty I gave them engagement.

Peter Magyar is currently enacting a Liberal Currents fantasy where he amends the constitution to ban anyone associated with the old regime from ever holding office again and is somehow polling at 68% (he won with 53%) and I’m not saying that’s possible anywhere else but Dems should like, ask him

That’s not adjusted for age, though. Again no idea if the rates in the general population of aircraft carriage crew aged people is higher or lower. That people under your command are trying to kill themselves is a dereliction of duty, but I’d like to educate myself on how high that rate is.

laarc26.bsky.social @laarc26.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I don’t know if that’s a lot or a little. As far as I can tell that’s a 0.16% rate in not quite a year. I found a guesstimation from a reasonable source that collected hospital data and something like 2-3 million people attempted suicide in the US last year. That’s 0.86% of the population.

Jamelle, I’m just an Internet reply guy, but wondering if you’ve ever looked into Marohn’s complicated politics and his deep conservatism. He’s the founder of Strong Towns, who make the video you share. I found their videos initially compelling but see them in a new light knowing about Marohn.

AI doom or not, something has shifted with AI recently. The guardrails that kept AI sitting in a chatbox are gone, the models are better, there's more compute. AI agents are everywhere. They are annoying as hell. IMO the situation is going to get much worse www.404media.co/theres-a-100...

“AI agents” now have enough power and permission to be extremely annoying online.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

So, by definition, if he’s in heaven, then all these “bad guys” in heaven with him have already proven him wrong? If, as is more likely, this is an undercover hell, then, what can I say. He’s also been proven wrong? how do I insert “check mate lib” into this comment?

It's quite incredible how enormously lucky the US administration has been in terms of its economic inheritance - this is the kind of capex boom econ nerds have been yelling for since the GFC - and how determined they seem to be to squander it.
