Britain’s elites seem to be totally hapless in the face of Trumpism.

Great day to look at these quotes and also check out the role of women voters in the recent elections in the state of Bihar, one of the less developed Indian states. Who knew women could be their own agents?!

Opinion | The Boomers Are Protesting Trump. Where Is Gen Z?

Very good piece by @brendannyhan.bsky.social

Have to agree with this. Found the writing to be meh even though the film was fun. However, the unambiguously good thing to come out of Rogue One was this cool op-ed by @separkinson.bsky.social!

At this rate, we are going to get a pretty robust presidential pair in Kelly-Warnock without the Democrats making any institutional efforts at all.

Big difference between working within the framework of social welfare institutions and a renewed more expansive social contract versus just breaking it all out on the basis of exclusionary identity politics.

Should have said upper middle. But point remains that groups who pay taxes should be active users of the system. Which they are in other European countries.

Today as most days confirms one thing- American politics is totally mental

It's also linked to the middle increasingly stepping out of public services- schooling, health notably -- by going private. Keeping them as users of state services also bolsters the case for taxation.

Also a canary in the coal mine for the U.S.

One way to understand this is that a lot of journos have made their careers betting on the reactionary far-right, hoping it will lead to them taking over institutions. That strategy failing has huge consequences for their futures and their jobs.

Take note Starmer and co

Men having a normal one on the other site.

Escape room where the thing you are trying to escape is reading about Olivia Nuzzi

What they mean is they have an outsized media market *talking* about asylum seekers. That’s why, you see, the challenge is greater… must appease the BBC music channel that points to migrants every 30 mins

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Midsomer county where per capita murder rate is 10,000 per million in just November

And they say bluesky is not worth the time

“Every single person in the Epstein emails should be removed and excluded from positions of any power forever” would be a good op-ed, but probably won’t appear in the NYT. Even more importantly, it would be a good political party platform, but that probably won’t happen either

WHITE HOUSE: FEDERAL STATISTICAL SYSTEM MAY HAVE PERMANENTLY BEEN DAMAGED WHITE HOUSE: OCTOBER JOBS REPORTS LIKELY NEVER RELEASED

Put the concerted effort by a particular newspaper over the years to platform anti-woke in context of the same paper sitting on Epstein correspondence. Staying silent is one thing, but running a info campaign to malign the social foundations of the me too movement or BLM is quite another.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

The BBC let got of a DG and a news editor for an editorial decision. What’s the NYT planning to do for sitting on emails for two election cycles that directly link the President to Epstein?

But her Emails!!!!

FYI

Table showing the five richest men in the U.S from Bloombergs billionaire list ., all in technology. Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of $461B and a year-to-date gain of $28.2B. Larry Ellison is second at $300B with a $107B YTD gain. Jeff Bezos has $268B (+$29.5B YTD), Larry Page $250B (+$81.9B YTD), and Sergey Brin $234B (+$75.5B YTD). Each row also lists last-day change, country (all United States), and industry (all Technology).

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Opinion | Young Voters Are the Holy Grail. Zohran Mamdani Just Showed Democrats How to Win Them.

This was a good read but this caught my eye and I had a hearty laugh: “Begala continued, Let me get to the heart of your question: Zohran Mamdani had the weakest win of a successful New York Democrat in 35 years.“ How are you a “political consultant” and coming up with gems like this?!!!!
