Must-read of the day from Maximilian Alvarez; reads like a sequel to @astra.bsky.social and Naomi Klein’s β€œend-times fascism” piece (which it explicitly references)

To bomb Iran the US deployed 7 B2 bombers, each of which cost $2.1B to build. They used 14 huge β€œbunker busters,” a model that cost $500 million to develop.

The US invested ~ $15 billion in this attackβ€”almost 50% more than it invested in affordable housing construction this year.

Cuomo’s circle surely has ties to the NYT leadership. Plus, god help anyone who doesn’t make a bow to the corrupt machine!

The nytimes’s abstention from local political endorsement lasted exactly as long as it took for a credible socialist mayoral candidate to emerge.

I would be very interested to know the internal conversations behind the decision to move today’s editorial.

The mainstream media has enabled Trump’s war on universities | Jason Stanley For the past decade, the US press has fueled a moral panic over leftists on campus while failing to report on the right’s assault

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is especially the case in the social media age, where mass demos are no longer proof of formal networks capable of making specific demands, accepting concessions, or acting in a coordinated way in other environments (the ballot box, the workplace).

Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." An Australian study, conducted over four years and starting before the pandemic, has come up with some enlightening conclusions about the impact of working from home. The researchers are unequivocal: ...

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...
