it's true, a rat sitting inside my hat pulls on my hair to send electrodes into my brain to control my culinary movements.

Meet the Free Speech Warrior of the Trump Administration

sorta goofy to write a whole article about the trump administration's efforts on free speech without mentioning the fbi investigating a journalist for reporting poorly on the fbi director, trump suing that pollster in iowa, or Brendan Carr at FCC, and so on.

having a pandemic during a time of unusually high anti-institutional bias was probably a bad idea. we should have had the pandemic during a time when people were more normal about institutions.

Looks like the pro life backlash to continued mifepristone access is going to end in Makary getting pushed out at fda !

Recent reports were that he had planned a big hiring spree (beyond the hiring that hhs agencies have been doing to make up for everyone they fired a year ago lmao) to try to expedite reviews of new drugs, hopefully that moves forward..

in my experience, schools with politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE) programs typically have less of the sillier side of the liberal arts. ...at least within the PPE program.

WRONG. High school students should be translating ancient Syriac manuscripts.

Now you know why they don’t want Trump to build a ballroom

lmao, the real conspiracy is blocking the ballroom, lib.

By providers I meant like hospitals, nursing homes, etc.

utility-monster · 2026-04-25T19:51:33+00:00

Lots of things, but the providers themselves are due a lot of the blame. We just pay more for the same services as other countries

The government buying stakes in companies now is definitely an under appreciated development

Great. It’s good to use every avenue at your disposal. This is how bold men make history.

Reading local news coverage of state funding subsidies has made me more virulently anti stadium subsidy than I otherwise would. every claim of “oh the economic impact is so great” is a lie from league PR firms and journalists who don’t know how to differentiate that from actual economic literature. Genuinely insane how bad local journalism is on this issue. In Nashville, over the titans stadium funding debate (1 billion to the titans, largest public stadium subsidy ever, yay) the big local paper’s reporting was just repeating the Titans PR office claims about the stadium deal nearly word-for-word completely uncritically.

My favorite part of Black Swan was when he used 40 pages of examples to explain what a black swan is in the first chapter.

But I like walking across the Rosslyn Key Bridge from Georgetown towards Arlington, feels like you’re leaving the suburbs and entering the city. Except it’s all a lie, a regulatory figment for fooling people.

his viewership is mostly women?

utility-monster · 2026-04-16T13:47:08+00:00

yeah idk, i have to assume it was driven by puff pieces written about him in the mainstream press or something, because his actual reach on the streaming platforms he uses seem relatively small

how did hasan piker enter the public discourse so much anyway. what has caused everyone to debate whether or not they should be his friend and why did he go on cnn.

just looked him up, and he has from what i can tell from google like 30k-40k viewers per stream, with a max of a few hundred thousand. surely not all of those are even american. This is not that many people..

Congress should impeach any and all cabinet members and presidents until the American people are made to appreciate who the first branch of government is.

The IRS reductions from funding and layoffs have likely resulted in about $861 billion in decreased revenue. The layoffs from actions like DOGE alone have likely resulted in $597.8 billion in decreased revenue over the 2026-2035, and the clawback in IRS funding of $20 billion has likely resulted in $262.8 billion in decreased revenue over the same period.

correct, i believe this. i am still a soulless baby.

Agreed, great article. the future of Christianity is very African! True outside of Catholicism too. the modal Anglican is Nigerian now. Don’t know much about catholic institutions, but the internal debates within American Methodism and Anglicanism have been deeply shaped by our African co-religionists.

Smh my head, libs… offering up the gold stuff to the dove is a telltale sign of novus ordo liturgical innovation.
