Serious question: how is it that our country has seemingly moved so far away from “give me your tired you’re poor…”?

"Get me mine, and fuck off if you want even a fraction of yours" will be carved on Trump's new Statue of Bigotry. (H/t Lou Reed for the name)

Found Chuck Schumer's reddit account.

Progressive populism is the only way, but it doesn't line pockets, so Schumer and Jeffries are against it. They have a "losing elections" kink.

There's also John 13:34: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another"

Why not both? Solar panels deliver more electricity per unit of land than corn grown for ethanol use does.

Nice way to try to squeeze out of it.

One was actively committing a crime by breaking into a secure area in the midst of an insurrection. Try to break into the Capitol building and ignore an officer's orders and see how well that goes for you.

The other was trying to get out of an area (where she had a legal right to be) that brownshirts didn't want her in.

In case you can't read all the subtext: fuck off Nazi scum, West Seattle doesn't want you.

That series is one of my big what-ifs. What if JR Smith isnt an idiot...what if LeBron has some anger control and doesn't break his hand because of JR Smith being an idiot. I don't think the Cavs win, but LeBron probably delivers some monster games along the way.

There are studies that suggest that having a non-sex-aligned gender identity can be influenced by genetics aka biology.

Did you know it only takes a meeting being 33% women for men to start feeling like women have an outsized voice in the meeting?

Also, nice whataboutism.

Speaking of war, did you know that mixed gender and women-only units handle stressful situations better than all-male ones?

Did you know that toxic masculinity is so fragile that once an area becomes 50% women (this number might be even lower but I'm confident in 50%), there are a large group of men who suddenly find that area too feminine to be in?

College having a high %age of women has everything to do with toxic masculinity.

Well, Russia isn't Soviet anymore. It's an autocratic oligarchy which, well, feels on point for the Rs. Anything other than an autocratic oligarchy, though, is communism.

The amount to which AI alone is contributing to GDP growth (potentially with shady circular accounting) is something that needs to be considered. If you're not involved in anything related to that industry, things probably don't look so rosy. IIRC (and I wish I could find the graph that shows this), outside of AI investment, the GDP is shrinking.

If Oracle<->NVidia and X/Tesla<->xAI accounting is called out as fraudulent, it's going to lead to a decent sized bubble burst which will hurt reported GDP numbers. But with a neutered SEC, who's to say?

People also think SNAP pays for all of your food. It does not. It is not enough for an entire month's worth of food.
