The super-rich are not worried about their car dying, or if they can afford daycare, how to feed a family & clothe growing children. They don't consider skipping a medication b/c of its cost.
But the rich want to feel oppressed, so they pretend slightly higher taxes is life or death. How dare they
Everyone knows the economy is doing great. I dont know why homelessness is up and a record number of people are working 2 jobs, but that has nothing to do with the economy. The economy is a chart with a line going up, not that other shit. Grow up
Garrity’s single largest donor was Republican power player Bob Asher, a former member of the Republican National Committee and co-chair of Asher’s Chocolates’ board of directors. Asher gave Garrity more than $29,000, while a political action committee connected to him (PA Future Fund) gave her $20,000. Nearly 40 years ago, Asher was sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in a bribery scandal that included Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer, who died of suicide.

appealing to religious duty, President Trump urges Iran to calm global trade fears with impassioned weekend message
In my experience, the flat refusal to engage periodizing theories is always one of two things: intradisciplinary territorialism or fear of demystification.
this is how I use it tbh

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.
She accepted three.
One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history.

As the son of a 10-yr NFL defensive tackle/end who earned four Super Bowl rings and was both an NFL and a D1 defensive line coach for 12 years before he died at 49 (my age now), I can most assuredly, indubitably tell you that CTE is very real.
I’ll tell all of you a fun story about this in a few months
looking at the work ahead of us probably the single most impactful fix you could put in place would be to legally turbo-charge and also destigmatize unionization nationally (card count, revitalized NLRB, make "right to work" illegal, etc). number 2 is rabidly aggressive antitrust enforcement
This is a very strange moment, in how obvious it is that a major crisis is approaching, and how calmly and clearly people are observing it come. www.ft.com/content/3647...

good advice, and as an important corollary: stop laundering conservative opinions! They actually believe what they say!

Only took a cross country flight, a two hour drive, and hanging out with @banditelli.org for the first time in 10 years to get this.
Alright it's officially over. I sat on the toilet looking at my phone too long this morning and I've had a day long neck pain
I keep circling back to that line from the Mishnah Sanhedrin, "whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world" and wondering what it means to live at the mercy of men who are equally indifferent to any individual life, to millions of lives, and to the world itself

Oh, yeah? Would a dying empire do THIS?!
Mr. Trump’s failure to articulate either goals or a strategy for a potential military intervention has created shocking levels of uncertainty about this attack. Americans do not know whether the president has ordered an attack in their name mostly to set back Iran’s nuclear program — or to go so far as toppling the government of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
It seems absurd to lock in, as growing number of commentators seem to be doing (NYT clip below), on Trump’s failure to articulate a casus belli in Iran. Asking “why?”, presuming a satisfactory explanation is out there, ignores the sense of unreality that perpetuates endless war in the first place.
A color portrait of Italian-American character actor Armand Assante, who made a career for himself in the 1980s and 90s playing various mobsters, gangsters, and tough guys. Patrick “Dutch” Dugan has questions about the provenance of this particular clipart. It’s obviously from 1995, a full year before Assante’s breakout role as John Gotti. So how did Corel know that Assante was going to be a worthy subject of clipart, and was the Gambino family involved? Dutch isn’t afraid to dig. If only Dutch were still around today to tell us what he found.
