Why does this sound totally believable?

I live in a city where immigrants did all of this and more: They’ve saved the city from itself.

They’ve packed it with children, small businesses, and immaculate multi-generational homes.

They’ve β€œgentrified” it in all the right ways.

Twenty-five years ago, this place was a nasty meth ghetto.

Watching a lot of the debating on X between the pro and anti-Israel right and it's really fascinating (in a very bad/sad way) to see the Jewish right and Zionist right in general face that they need to debate against Nazism becoming part of their party.

They missed that Nazis were always there.

I’m smitten. It’s a particularly loving act of resistance to engage in on behalf of our homeless neighbors on SNAP. A hot meal while living on the streets during winter can be magical, especially when traveling to the nearest soup kitchen requires a silly amount of time and energy.

Good on you!

This person raised a wonderful human being. This situation is a win for every party involved and it’s a great way to better a small segment of a community.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as β€˜normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Fred Murree - Wikipedia

Of the more than 60 articles I've written, this is probably my favorite one: the biography of Bright Star, a Pawnee professional roller skater, known in the 19th century as "the fastest man on wheels"

Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign Logo Looked Nothing Like a Campaign Logo The bodega-influenced visual language of an outsider campaign.

There are a lot of arguments for why Mamdani won. I, a pundit, believe it was the typeface.

Imagine being so dedicated to stealing people's healthcare that you let letters telling them that their premiums were about to spike by 100-500% go out 3 days before an election, while you were also trying to starve 40 million people to bully the other party into letting you steal the healthcare.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧡

Can someone please tell the assassin for Lindsay Hallligan to hurry the fuck up?!? She’s a pathetic federal prosecutor and scum opportunist. Our society will be better off without her in it.

We desperately need to have more conversations about the contract economy’s exploitative relationship with the ACA.

I think I’m talking about BOTH private and ACA policies. When HSAs became a thing to use in conjunction with β€œhigh deductible plans,” a max deductible ceiling of ~$5k was established. Somehow, it prevents a tax loophole from developing.

It’s been a while since I looked into it, so I might be wrong.

You’re wise. Oddly enough, I’ve been riding a bicycle as my primary means of transportation for almost two decades. This increases my risk for catastrophic injury while simultaneously keeping me healthier. I can only wonder if there are crash insurance policies with injury riders for cyclers. πŸ™ƒ

That’s e’ffing bonkers!

One thing that grinds my gears about our ultra-high deductible plans is we can’t use health savings accounts that were ironically created to mitigate the consequences of high deductible plans. Last I checked, they can only be used with plans that have max ~$5k deductibles.

That’s pretty much how I’ve been utilizing it all year. Suffice to say, if my 2026 monthly premium dramatically increases, I might be in a situation where I’ll spend less as a β€œcash payor” for those services; and removing myself from the insurance pool for this reason would hurt those who remain.
