And what I always try to get people to understand is that debt leads to incarceration. And it’s happening ALL around us. We have not even seen the worst of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump passed though most have forgotten. You are being pushed to the edges of society

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

I'm sure this take has been took already but it's worth saying: the obscene, cynical performance of "It's about being against plagiarism" re Arday is absurd when the entire academic superstructure is being reorganised around mandating plagiarism using advanced plagiarism automation software

Reminder: Early COVID-era deaths reduced Social Security liabilities by $156 billion. I keep telling people, Republicans noted those savings and have sought to cull the old and "weak" ever since.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

I think conspiracy may be a bad frame for right wing election denial because what they’re really expressing is a belief in is the idea that non-white people shouldn’t be able to vote.

The days of being impressed by wealthy people in high fashion at galas & awards shows are kinda done. Not saying I'm completely immune from indulging but it's some real bread & circuses shit. It gets farther & farther from the lives any of us watching will ever attain. They're being rich, we suffer.

Everyone knows the economy is doing great. I dont know why homelessness is up and a record number of people are working 2 jobs, but that has nothing to do with the economy. The economy is a chart with a line going up, not that other shit. Grow up

this is what i meant weeks ago when i said so much of the aggressive surge in migrant policing felt like a boundary test, where a period of highly visible violence would eventually recede in favor of less visible and more "professionalized" migrant policing at a level beyond its baseline pre-trump.

The US spent $28.7 billion during the first two weeks of the Iran War — $2.1 billion per day. This may be a higher estimate than you've seen elsewhere. Those estimates are too low. This one could be too. See my methodology and full analysis linked below.

US spends $2.1 billion a day on the Iran War. Estimated US war costs, 28 February–13 March 2026. Table format: Expense; Description; Cost. Rows: Operations; Mobilization, administration, combat; $4.25 billion. Weapons; Missiles, interceptors, bombs, other; $20.77 billion. Losses; Damaged or destroyed military assets; $2.71 billion. Subsidies; Pay for Israel’s bombs, interceptors; $1.01 billion. Total; Cost of the first two weeks of the Iran War; $28.74 billion. Average cost per day: $2.05 billion. Estimated direct costs based on author’s analysis of officials’ statements, procurement and O&S data, open-source intelligence, media reports. Figures subject to revision as new information becomes available.
