This is not what they're asking for public comments about. The proposed rule is essentially "the board of governors can't encourage or force banks to deny payment processing for legal goods based on other factors". It doesn't say anything about what banks themselves can or can't do

We need to frame "put in the work to become well adjusted" as *normal* and non political, and to paint the right wing framing as freakish. Part b/c "become well adjusted and then you'll be happier" isn't a convincing argument to be left wing and part b/c it's non a political issue to being with

Everyone (including this guy) is wrong about this topic. It *is* a problem for society and a problem for young men that they are poorly adjusted especially about the topic of sex. The solution isn't to frame the correct answer "put in the work to become well adjusted" as left wing or to dismiss it

I don't think we can really sustain the pretense anything happening in Gaza today is still about 10/7, no has it been for months. Sinwar's dead. Bibi couldn't care less about the hostages.

I've been hit 3 times in roughly the last year (in fairness two of those were actually on a university campus by dumb college kids not paying attention so it's not really representative). I'm just very stubborn, I really hate driving a lot, and Honolulu is dense enough to bike commute

Like cavendish was the sprinters equivalent of LeBron but gc riding is more like distance running. Once you don't have it you don't have it there's not really an opportunity to age gracefully in the same way

Michael Litke @michaellitke.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
That's true and cavendish was still really impressive but he was able to compensate for that with his racing skills vs if you lose your engine as a gc rider there's not really any compensating for that

the reason trump is doing this is not to raise money or to remedy some perceived trade imbalance. he is doing this to destroy Brazillian democracy, because he and his entire party are ideologically opposed to human freedom.
