9/11 basically explains everything about why we're in the bad place, but the original sin was the supreme court deposing Gore.

I mean, I think the news is that the President is once again running to the left of democrats in an election by proposing a Universal Basic Income of $5k.

Billionaires crying about a policy is a major selling point for that policy.

The Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.

American cities are amazing places that drive everything great about the USA. We need to dissolve the system of rural right-wing minority rule derived from the artifacts of slavery. Let the cities lead.

Whatever Harry Kane’s politics, the orange bad man is the ultimate cooler and now that this is publicly revealed… England is in trouble.

Well last night was embarrassing but what can we expect once the biggest loser in the entire world got involved.

Some Belgian vandals cut a 350 ft gash in the USMNT’s defense.

According to VAR regs, a still should show the point of contact - in Balogun’s case, his toe, studs down, accidentally catching on the sock of the player who closed space to challenge him. Instead we’ve frozen the video to imagine a stomp which never happened.

Billionaires hate renewables because we don’t have to keep paying them forever for sun or wind, like we do with fossil fuels.

This tournament has been a great success largely because VAR had avoided doing what it decided to do today.

If you thought the reflecting pool was bad, wait until you see the ballroom.

So 4 Justices on the Supreme Court believe the President can legally rewrite the Constitution by Executive Order.

So according to the Supreme Court Congress isn’t allowed to delegate rulemaking or enforcement to independent agencies. Citizens should settle their disputes in court against the corporations they have no standing to sue if an Agency controlled by a loyalist says so.

The Fed can protect rich people from Trump. Any other agency that protects normal people, not so much.

Why am I watching commercials 22 minutes into a half of football? Just stay with the hydration break. We missed a bunch of play, wtf.

Seems like a new curse has dropped in NY.

Apparently if you wait long enough between dribbles it’s all cool #nbafinals

This guy is just the new Bernie Madoff

The SpaceX IPO is like when Apple made everyone download that U2 album but your iPod is now your 401k.

Pro-tip: If after starting a war, you find yourself desperately trying to restore the status quo from before the war, you have lost the war.

Just got a notification from Zillow pitching a local short-sale. Stick a fork in it, the economy is done

Maybe the US automakers want to un-cancel their EV plans

Oh quelle surprise. It turns out Trump is a pedophile and his fellow-traveler partner in crime was conveniently killed while he was in federal prison during his first term. QAnon was a psy-op to provide cover for the real perps and their actual conspiracy.

So wow it turned out that real hockey players are exactly the kind of horrible people that make it impossible for someone oriented differently to come out of the closet.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

genuinely stunning image

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

one thing i think is interesting: according to the Constitution, donald trump is not the president of the united states

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer. Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I think, of all the slides in this report, this is the most important -- it's really worth examining closely. This illustrates why the triumph of electrotechnical is inevitable.

I still can't quite believe that he tore down a wing of the White House to build one of his tacky projects that only read as "Luxe" to the most middling of bumpkins. The only reason Mar-a-Lago isn't a dump is because it wasn't built by Trump.

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

Maybe American farmers should try growing food for people to eat instead of harvesting subsidies and bailouts. Go to the grocery store somewhere in the EU and you see the impact of subsidizing agriculture that grows food.

Bitch you were the original folder to Donald Trump. You put him in office.

Ok - so I'm going to do a real context+write up but for now, here's what some of these things look like. To start my data reference is DCinbox which is ~208,000 official e-newsletters over the past 15 years.

so it turns out all the self-proclaimed alpha dudes in the media literally piss themselves from fear at the thought of walking down a city street

"Reducing our dependence on whales as an energy source will send us sliding down the slippery, spermaceti-lubricated slope to socialism. If we give up whaling, what will those lackwits come for next? Will I have to surrender my peg leg for a titanium prosthetic?"

Conference League > Champions League

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

This ruling is literally the end of the United States, no? Let’s break this bitch up asap so the middle of the country can realize they’re also Central America.

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think
