It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Google's search engine was the greatest information retrieval tool I'd ever experienced in my life. So many mysteries unraveled under the scrutiny of a few keystrokes.

They lobotomized it *for this*.

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social

Just spitballin' here...how many more times do we have to see the absolutely concrete evidence that an infusion of cash assistance--be it UBI, rental assistance, or some other scheme--lowers homelessness rates, raises productivity and overall health, etc., before we just...do the thing

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Lmao

Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control."

"What they want is for people to look at who's rich, who’s important & say, 'That’s just the way things are. That’s the way they're supposed to be.' They don’t want people looking back at the past & saying, “This is because of slavery or Jim Crow or because women were excluded from the workforce.'”

Gus Walz Speaks Out For First Time About Hate He Received For His Emotional Reaction To Dad's Speech Well said, Gus ❤️

This is beautiful.

They’re calling it the dumbest citizenry in human history

Barry Blitt’s cover for this week’s issue, “The First Hundred Days.” #NewYorkerCovers nyer.cm/ysrCZ47

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

I don’t think I’ve made a worse financial decision in my life than developing good taste

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Four frames from the movie Glass Onion. “It’s so dumb.”it’s so dumb it’s brilliant!” “No! It’s just dumb!”

Every day I wake up to the news

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie.

Same as it ever was.

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

See the moment Sen. Cory Booker broke Strom Thurmond's record As he broke a record set when Thurmond stood against the Civil Rights Act, Booker said, "I'm not here, though, because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because, as powerful as he w...

As he broke a record set when Thurmond stood against the Civil Rights Act, Booker said, "I'm not here, though, because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because, as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful."

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.
