An angry mob coming to kick his ass I suppose?

Watching Matty spend several years going from "we need rigorous and data-based police reform, not radical sloganeering" to "crime-loving criminals want to do crimes to your beautiful white babies" was a very grim leading indicator of where things were headed.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024.

It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness.

They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

conservative voters are better at politics than liberal voters because they just vote for what they want and don't try to act smart about it. i don't recall much "nooo you can't undermine the tories by switching to UKIP" they just did it & got given exactly what they wanted for it

NYC you better elect this titan of cardiovascular excellence

the thing to take from Cuomo—a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albany—having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

Yeah, we need to stop these fucking idiots.

Nothing is fun. Nothing is interesting. Everything is Silicon Valley business money hustle line go up.

Anytime someone talks about eliminating "trans ideology" respond by saying we should eliminate "fascist ideology" first. We could fix both problems by eliminating those complaining about "trans ideology." Historical problems require historical solutions

been reading a lot recently about the collapse of Roman Britain and the subsequent Dark Age and this has probably not been great for my mood in analyzing the present political climate

if we took every penny every billionaire has, trump's campaign would've been starved for funding, media wouldn't be owned by right wing billionaires, kamala harris would be president right now and thus there wouldn't have been a $4T hole punched in the debt to extend Trump's tax cut

they want to make sure that during the next epidemic, no one has any incentive to comply with public health measures.

1204 is the real historical analogy to what happend to the USA. the way the American elites welcomed Trump in will look to history like the way Byzantine elites welcomed the Venetians

young grads and teenagers are the canary in the coal mine for a boss-friendly labor market. the bosses bought trump into the presidency and are being rewarded with a cratering labor market

The chad "just do stuff you think will work" civil law government vs the virgin "we cant make any changes to the built environment without conducting 5000 studies to cover our ass for future lawsuits" common law government

When we're in a D+12 environment this time next year, everybody do take note of all the rats fleeing the sinking ship

Pedo POTUS broke the Arizona Iced Tea guy…

Well, did it work for those people? No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but.... but it might work for us.

every single person/business who has ever interacted with trump:

its so funny that james comey helped trump get elected as part of a calculation to help protect the institutional independence of the FBI and this is the result

despite the crying from republicans and trump, manufacturers understand ICE is an obsolete technology and the choice is to adapt by making EVs or die by being outcompeted by foreign EV makers

Rookie mistake of the century for democrats to stand in front of a scared and misinformed electorate and say “These guys are SCARY! They are DANGEROUS OUTLAWS and the RULES meaning NOTHING to them!” Like that isn’t EXACTLY who Americans fantasize about being and who they think will keep them safe.

a hilarious thing that John McCain of all people turned out to be prescient about was that UFC was a barbaric sideshow that would poison our culture

"google search results are down" isn't being brought up because it's the best way to measure public opinion about this subject, but because it's the best way to measure public opinion about this subject that supports CNN's agenda of helping Trump.

there's a willing conflation of two phenomena here too - private equity investors like blackrock buying up homes and renting them to make money and foreign investors buying up homes and keeping them empty as part of money laundering or tax evasion schemes (a real thing but far less common)

People might be inclined to dismiss this as hyperbole. But it's worth reiterating that the national 'No Kings Protest' was - by raw estimated participant counts - the largest single day protest in US history. And it was literally relegated to the back pages of national press outlets within a day.

Things that will never go out of style in the corporate world:

1. Ability to write and speak clearly and concisely.

2. Data literacy and the ability to analyze information to inform strategic decision-making.

3. Ability to quickly acquire new subject matter expertise.

The promise of a Liberal Arts Education™ was always that careers/trends would come and go but a solid baseline of writing, history, arts, etc. would set you up with the skills to thrive in a wide range of environments. Not saying all schools delivered that but it seems better than the alternative

I don't have a good answer for what the alternative looks like, but asking 18 years to bet their future on highly specified training for jobs based on which they think will be in high demand 5-10 years from now turned out to be a very bad way to structure higher education

Exactly. "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

reminder that "there's no such thing as bad publicity" refers only to entertainment marketing. a lot of attention can be very bad for your consumer goods brand (no idea what the long term situation for AE will be)
