Smartphone cameras mean people can't call Black folk liars when we describe how much racism we receive. The cost of solar panels dropped so much that it's obvious that the US government *chooses* to stay on coal and gas, not that it *can't* get off of coal and gas. China planted 66 billion trees.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
I’ve found that younger folks are a lot more informed, philosophically curious, and alert to reality as a shared experience than my generation was, thanks to the internet.

I like this take because he’s basically copping to the fact we are now wholly dependent on the whims and interests of a tiny fraction of people at time where confidence in jobs and markets they provide is at all time lows.
Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

You’d have my vote, because accurate.
Imagine if I, as a politician, made a statement on 9/11 in which 70% of my statement was describing how American hegemony and the suffering in the middle east was the important takeaway from that event. That's what Mamdani did in his statement recognizing October 7th.
Some may be tempted mock this guys looks as to why he hates women, but with a haircut, a shower, and a crisp jersey, this guy is every dude I’ve ever seen at a baseball game with a wife, a kid, two beers, and a hotdog.
Unsurprisingly, Richard Hanania is doing rape apology coverage of the Cornell case with fellow wretch Michael Tracey
“She was a foot soldier for the “I’m a poo-poo in everyone’s face” guy. Then they poo-poo’d in her face.
New: She was a foot soldier for Nick Fuentes. Then his movement turned on her. Inspired by tradwives, Amy Dangerfield worked to become one of his model “groypettes.” A vicious fight left her grappling with the dark side of far-right fame. wapo.st/4da9OTD

The research doesn’t say trans people are “happy” post transition, but it clearly shows they are happier the sooner they get gender affirming care, which is why anything other than unconditional support of trans youth is abuse.
As I’ve said before, people told me “you can just be a woman if you want to.” What they did not tell me, and what I’ve discovered the past few years of my transition, is that you have to *keep* becoming her
You drank from the hose, yet you still thirst. You’re trying to come home when the sun’s has not yet set. You’re a latchkey kid refusing to open the door. Hark, my Twisted Sister- do you not year the Music Television anymore? It’s a Mad World! This new Reality Bites. They just need a little Respect.
Guys, please stop with the “please clap” when you cook for yourself, get out of bed on time, do your laundry… If your personal bar is that low, find some fucking hustle. I work my ass off. I’m not giving high fives for your bare minimum.

If you’re looking for a reason to spontaneously start sobbing and crying out to your god, read this article.
I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...
Barbers: Ed who?
The thing is I don’t thing Ed Sheeran is wrong about being “non political” as essential to his career. He is the definitive NPC, a broadly inconsequential figure whose riches and success largely comes out of comfortably existing in the background and nobody really taking notice of him

I can make food at home. I can’t inform myself or make good civic decisions based on headlines and brief takes. “This is a great analysis of our terrible times!” Ok, I want to know mor- “15 bucks a month!” The writer isn’t in the exchange. It’s a billionaire and their advertisers. It sucks.
I like to imagine these people roll up to a restaurant, grab a menu and tell all the new arrivals, "Hey, hey, this place *charges* you for food. Yeah. Can you believe that? Oh, there's no need to call me a hero. I'm happy to help."

Sharing to remember and in solidarity. We’re not imagining this.
Is it because of AI? Is it because of the stage of capitalism we are in? Is it because I am over forty now and I'm misremembering? It is literally impossible for me to say - I actually lack the ability to ascertain this - and it feels like my brain is itchy
