There are incidents in contemporary American society so barbaric that they shock the sensibilities of anyone who stands for social equality, justice and human decency. The state of Tennessee’s attempted execution of Christa Gail Pike on Wednesday night is such an event. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

This article about what went wrong with the Christa Pike execution notes that she tried to help her executioners do it better. Finally, in paragraphs 24-26, we come to the "of course he did" explanation. Cruelty and barbarism are this administration's hallmarks. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/s...

Oh! I need to go back to a third part time job because Hassett counts those as full time job.

"While Hassett framed the influx of workers as a sign of confidence in a strong economy, independent economists described the September numbers as a "textbook weak jobs report" where job growth fell well short of expectations."

Liar - I am a laid-off 65 yr old man. No one is going to hire me and has been that way since May. Even coffee shops and garden centers won't look at me. They keep telling me find a good volunteer organization. The new Medicare Advantage plan I chose and started 10/1, was just cancelled in 2027.

He is deliberately lying. He considers it worthwhile because he craves the prestige that comes with been the director of economic council

And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.

Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in non-farm payrolls since January 2025 through September 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 998,000 jobs with consistent growth throughout the period, while the rest of the economy lost 222,000 jobs, meaning all net job creation came from healthcare. The rest of the economy showed particular weakness from May through August 2025 when losses reached 218,000 jobs. This striking divergence reveals an unusual concentration where one sector's growth of roughly 48,000 jobs per month has offset persistent contraction across all other industries combined.

Breaking News: The US only added 29,000 jobs in September. They were expecting 84,000. Unemployment is also up. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Would be nice if the trending note said 'JUST 29,000' rather than making it look like a triumph.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

I'm also confused as to why the AI Bro is so pissed with the Pope saying AI isn't sentient. Does he want the AI to become Catholic? How are we giving the data centers First Communion? Are the copious amounts of water we'd use to cool the servers for its baptism?

This is a bad bill—bad for environmental justice, bad for climate, bad for humans. Some good people are fighting for it b/c they don't believe we can get better, but straight up, it's a bad bill. Sometimes we have to fight like hell for better options; it's the only way we get them.

I wish the news would stop stealing my unused ideas for comics. Here’s the pitch: some (nameless) US state becomes the preferred site for supervillain lairs because a clever lawyer figures out you can build your skull island whatever and write off billions in taxes.

Meta is exploiting a lucrative tax break intended to support research and experimentation. Its own accountants say the gambit is risky.
