Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.
Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.
Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...
It should be noted that Bovino is actually describing mass ethnic cleansing, not mass deportations.
So much of Silicon Valley has reached the conclusion that there is money to be made from American authoritarianism, writes Dave Karpf. With its ‘manifesto,’ Palantir wants to remind you that it reached that conclusion first, he says.
all the people losing their jobs to AI *should* get jobs "securing" the AI
the most obviously insane part of this is that the flu is going to annihilate these guys, but the second most insane part is, since when is "freedom" something you're supposed to have while you're in *the army*?
Like, very specifically freedom is the thing that you give up!
Every sailor or Marine who has ever done sea time knows intimately how stupid this is
honestly feel like "cool celebrity mathematician" was more fantastical than the dinosaur stuff.
"extracting DNA from mosquitos in amber" turned out to be impossible but at least there was a plausible mechanism!
This is glaringly obvious to everyone except for the faces of corporate media, who desperately want to walk a red carpet
Single season of prestige TV based on the Gamecube horror cult classic “Eternal Darkness” starring Samara Weaving.
If they wanted their taxes to pay for people's wellbeing, they could already make sure that happens!
The only way a UBI would be possible would be if wealthy companies paid high taxes and then people were given money for free, and rich people oppose both of those things on principle at all times.
Actually am not sure that "the dignity of work" is really a reason that Americans want to keep their jobs, but the much more obvious reason why AI companies promising UBIs won't work is that everyone knows they're fucking lying.
It’s very hard to take the AI bros’ sudden embrace of UBI seriously when they are simultaneously cheering Trump’s destruction of the welfare states, tbh
70 Minnesota children.
Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.
They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.
Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.
FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.
like many, I avoided publicly complaining about staying home during the peak Covid years because I didn’t want to be associated with the MAGAs running around infecting everybody at the time.
but it’s been 6 years and I’d like to believe we can now talk about how it was both necessary AND hard.
I would greatly appreciate anyone amplifying this or contributing.
The Alex Pretti nursing scholarship is being created. An endowed scholarship awarded to a student with financial need. Preference will be given to students with an interest in supporting America's veterans. Link below. Thank you.
That said I can’t help but feel kind of disgusted that the media and wider urgency goes down when white people are no longer being victimized as openly.
Brown people dying in concentration camps just doesn’t do the trick, I guess.
okay but we can still prosecute him for bribing the president, right?
Yeah, "didn't care who won" is like 17% which is probably not decisive. It's also not clear *why* those people didn't care who won. Is it because of the loud online leftists? Is this appreciably different from other years when people sat out the vote? &c.
Parents of children killed in the US bombing of an elementary school in southern Iran released a letter on Sunday applauding Pope Leo XIV for speaking out against war and urging him to “continue to be the voice of the voiceless children.”
Actually have still never seen Endgame so I have only a real vague idea what happens in it based on clips that I've seen on Instagram. Captain America picks up Thor's hammer, I know that part.
listen. I didn't watch Endgame in the theaters the first time it came out, I'm definitely not watching it in theaters the second time.
a genuine lifehack I've found is that I refuse to hurry, and this has improved my experience of basically everything
I always think this is so funny. "America has more roads that handle more cars than any other country in the world -- and yet, our cities also have the worst traffic congestion!"
Well...yeah.
Yeah I don't know, I don't know what that's about. I will admit that my dad instincts got *turned up* once I had my own kids, but "instinctively checking on a child who sounds like they've been hurt" has pretty much always been there.
yeah I always check my bag, who cares if I have to wait at baggage claim for a little while until it comes out. What, was I going somewhere? Was I going to be *late* for an *appointment*? I don't do anything.
yeah I think when you've got your own kids, I feel like the pressure of people thinking "hold on, is this guy a creep?" is relieved a little bit, because they register you as a Dad -- but also this is all basically in my head anyway, so.
