In the circles they move in, angry liberals yelling at you is a mark of credibility. It's a status symbol, a kind of badge that shows you're savvy, one of the insiders. It's a perfectly insular, sealed, self-reinforcing worldview/industry.

The article is about a proposal in the House Republican budget bill that Democrats oppose.

Let's blame the people who are doing the bad thing

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

They're trying to break the record for most homers and most errors in a single game

It was 2022, typo in my post 🙃

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Is nothing sacred???

It takes months to build a house but only hours to burn it down.

Trump has found its easier to destroy shit. Dems genuinely want government to work well and now care a lot about the process too

Those are fake prices. No one travels without a carry-on or checked bag. Then the budget airlines also charge for an assigned seat, to access the wifi, and soon I expect to pay to use the toilet 🫠

Eh, some of these accounts are bordering on hagiography now. Pennsylvania Corrections officials let him visit the jail barbershop before he was extradited to NY. If it's evidence that 'people care about him', those people are the bosses of SCI Huntingdon.

Those are shells going to Ukraine to defend themselves against the Russian genocidal invasion!

Too much driving is bad for society, new studies show It turns out trying to expand the freedom of the open road has its limits—when taken too far, it can end up driving people apart.

the united states literally does not have the state capacity to do this and what it will look like in practice is empowered cops, sheriffs deputies, and national guardsman going house to house rounding up people

"Fascist propaganda" though??? Come on

Opinion: Can Boeing’s Misguided Leaders Be Stopped? | Aviation Week Network We may be witnessing the slow demise of what was once the world’s greatest aerospace company, with few identifiable roadblocks to an act of self-immolation.

Richard Aboulafia really knows the aerospace business.

He says that several waves of accounting/ finance—minded "leaders" are en route to destroying what had been proudest symbol of US tech/manufacturing excellence.
