A few years ago, I said greedy egg producers like Cal-Maine were using their market power to deliberately drive up egg prices. My right-wing critics fried me for saying this — but now they all have egg on their face.

Obviously I’m entirely made of Housing but a real good zoning reform we could make is re-legalizing corner stores on residential streets. Banned by the same 1957 code that banned ADUs, so maybe that’s next

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Too many powerful people in the Epstein class or post frat boy rapists. They get high on cruelty and do not regard other human beings as fully human. Point to suffering and it gives a frisson of excitement or utter indifference. Cruelty for a society devoted to rape is the point.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I've been reading bell hooks, and she talks about children being the most oppressed class in society. To this end, the United States has not ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child-- I wrote about this years ago www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-p...

washingtonpost.com

Why won’t the U.S. ratify the U.N.’s child rights treaty?

The non-ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is hypocritical.

I'm glad I don't have to interview job candidates ever again and worry about whether or not they have iced coffee. Or conversely ever worry about bringing liquids to an interview ever again. Assuming I can stay retired, of course...which seems to be a riskier assumption by the minute.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025.

A graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the price of US-made textile products and apparel since July of 2022. The prices held mostly steady until May of 2025, at which point they've gone up about 7%.
