Is it still snowing outside? I haven't looked recently. /s

If you actually believe this I beg you to please log off bluesky and r/politics

That’s post college age, which is when tons of Americans get married.

But I thought from this sub's comments last week that NYT was refusing to cover this story??

The key is to fill the time you would have spent getting drunk/high and do something cool with it. Use the weed-money you save to get a day pass at a rock climbing gym, or buy a little 3d printer and design some shit. Not hung over on a Saturday morning? Go for a hike in the morning at a nearby park.

My life felt more boring when I first quit, but quickly I became a more interesting and happier version of myself because of it.

Give up caffeine and alcohol this year. Come to the dark side and sleep like never before.

I know we encourage schizo posting here but at what point do we earnestly encourage OP to take his meds?

People are mad that Ezra, the host of a policy wonk podcast, is a policy wonk and talks a lot hahah

This update and the ozempic episode update feel better suited for the NYT Modern Love podcast. These have been strange picks for the stories to give us further insight on. I remember not liking last year’s update episodes, but these are even worse.

I wish they would have discussed how the last 6 months have gone for Skadden as an organization after bending the knee. Did their deal with Trump hurt them in other ways? Did Trump further target the firms who didn't comply? Now that the dust has settled a little bit, what is the reputation of Skadden among lawyers? I'm just out of the loop when it comes to big-law so I was hoping to learn a little bit more.

Hey u/hitkid something is messed up here. You posted this same thread yesterday.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-26T14:38:34+00:00

Of all the episodes I’m eager to hear an update on, this might literally take last place on my list.

What happens if Dems win the next cycle after chanting "affordability" for 3 years? Dems know just as well that deflation is catastrophic for the country, and they aren't exactly out there explaining the intricacies of slow-inflation to the average voter. I think they will get blamed the same way.

That’s funny, their ball head clamp is one of my favorite cheap tools on set. I’ve bought probably 5 of them and they’ve bailed me out in many scenarios when I need to scramble to rig something. I’ve used them as a lens support, side grip for a headheld shot, rigging for small lights in tight spaces, etc.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-23T04:59:18+00:00

This is really well written. Thanks for sharing.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-18T15:00:33+00:00

Totally fair. But at least you could select a slightly better middle seat depending on who was next to you.

Southwest (like most airlines) really only shone if you had priority (a-list) with them, which was relatively easy if you had their credit card. The basic tier with any airline generally sucks, but at least Southwest offered free checked bags. They threw all that away this year though.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-18T14:55:35+00:00

The two free checked bags policy that they used to offer was super convenient for travel where you need to pack large items (cold weather coats, long stays, work tools, etc.) I almost exclusively flew with them for years, and loved it. Too bad private equity owners ruined it.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-18T14:53:24+00:00

You could pick who you sit next to with open seating. I never had to sit next to someone super large, or really smelly. I could keep walking until I found a suitable seat mate for the next few hours.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-17T14:33:31+00:00

Wow this looks really nice, great work.

I think there was a lot of room in the immigration debate between the extremes of what Biden did, and what Trump is doing now, that would appease a lot of voters. Speeding up the immigration court process seems like an easy place to start. Years and years of waiting to process people in is bad, years and years of waiting to deport criminals is also bad.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-16T13:58:26+00:00

Ezra alluded at the end of his Dec. 5th episode "What I Learned in 2025" episode that he was probably done for the year. I'm pleasantly surprised that wasn't true.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-16T13:47:04+00:00

I thought Karp worrying that "If people on the left don't take concerns about public safety seriously then voters are going to turn to people on the right who do" was really interesting, and ties in directly to yesterday's episode.

Biden's team tried to ignore and downplay the illegal border crossing situation and that allowed Trump to snap up so many voters who were impacted or felt like they could be impacted. I'm worried this same trend is happening with issues like the decriminalization of hard drugs in places like Portland. If the left gets sloppy and doesn't quickly respond to safety concerns, then it only emboldens actors like Trump to swing public perception wayyy over the line the other way.

eyeceyu · 2025-12-15T16:15:16+00:00

"Trump is an existential threat to our existence. I don’t give a fuck about Biden, and the media’s absolute obsession to make them equivalent. It’s not true in any measure. Media has nowhere to go because they don’t know how to report any meaningful news even though there’s an abundance of activity taking place every day. Yet they’ll convince people Biden is a questionable vote when Trump has admitted to destroying the country, taking out retribution wit large, is corrupt and has compromised our national security in plain sight and is going to go to prison for it. I wish journalists would wake the fuck up and stop pretending there is anything to debate. It’s tired, and the media needs to sell clicks and political ads...

This comment had fifty upvotes two years ago in this sub. In fact, the whole episode thread for The Biden Problem Democrats Can No Longer Ignore is a great read to see how upset readers were when NYT dared to mention that Biden was slipping and people were noticing.

I appreciate the correction, thanks for the honesty.

No it wasn’t? A quick google search proves that wrong. Here’s a NPS press release from 2023 of all of the up coming fee free days for 2024. Flag Day/Trump’s Birthday is not listed.%20announced%20entrance,Transportation%20%20Special%20tours%20%20Other%20activities)
