Maybe the reason the economic vibes are so off isn't that things are *worse* than the great recession but because back then we all thought the pain was temporary, whereas the things that are wrong with the economy today have all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving

Biden, during the debate, while Trump is ranting while it isn't his turn, "Will you shut up, man" was also caustically dismissive and really the whole thing about Trump is that people don't just say, "Look at Mr. Stable Genius over here", which might make him stroke out

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

So now that companies are freely sharing the information, you need to use your human intelligence and ask the hard question: Why? If it was bad for them, they wouldn't do it. They do it because the scintilla of danger is a great marketing tool to attract investors.

The Houthi-aligned Bani Hashish tribes are massing in preparation to “liberate” the remaining Yemeni territory outside Houthi control. It’s a sea of Toyotas with mounted machine guns. I think this is what we should mean when we say Toyotathon from now on.

It is absolutely true that Dems need to win swing voters to win elections. The misdiagnosis is that swing voters are “moderates.” They are not. They have almost entirely incoherent politics. You don’t win them from the middle. You appeal to your base with conviction and hope swings like the vibes.

"Well the people who matter think HR trainings that annoy them are more important than the collapse of democracy" is true, that's an argument for violently changing who matters, not catering to the auto-syphilitic ramblings of those elites.

So if the cops or prosecutors violate someone's rights, I want them to pay for it. I want them to pay for it even if it benefits somebody who is guilty as hell, because enforcing those rights protects everyone from the tyranny of the state.

Making a very public spectacle of legally prosecuting and punishing corrupt and lawless people supports public belief in the rule and validity of law. Letting corrupt and lawless people get away with it is ultimately a far more dangerous outcome, as the public only tolerates this for so long.

I’ll keep saying this until I can’t: I can’t think of a demographic whose vote is more critical than those who are ward of the government being elected. And no citizen should ever be stripped of their vote. This is the greatest lever for accountability and reasoned legislation I can think of.

I've already stated my position that firing your weapon, for any reason, should be the end of your LEO career. Thanks for serving. I think going after the wrong person on a warrant should be the same result. Did both? Automatic prosecution for negligent homicide at minimum.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.
Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

My hot take is that we should abolish the advertising industry as we know it. Outside of trade shows and catalogs, which people explicitly opt-into, advertising should be banned. No billboards, no banner ads online, nothing. Yes it would completely upend the internet, I'm not hearing a downside.

Where do CEOs and other executives fit? Any company out there brave enough to replace that layer with AI? Those people cost lots of money and hold lots of stock, and rarely do anything creative so... Instant savings! Imagine Tesla/X/SpaceX replacing Musk, even with grok. Billions in savings.

I think taking seriously that the president is an honest-to-God deranged gangster, and every lawful institution meant to stop that from happening has failed and has no real prospect of functioning, is so unsettling that a lot of folks have just decided to retreat into fantasy as a coping mechanism.
