Hoping the promise of discourse without animus holds true. Perhaps a bit carried away with Starter Packs, like a kid in a candy shop, so many lists to choose from to expand my exposure to new ideas!

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court is not political
Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court justices are not “political actors.” He says justices are making decisions based on the law, not their personal policy preferences.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025. Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs. Largest annual revision in over 20 years. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
nbcnews.com
U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...
