The annual change in GDP topped 15% in only five years since 1929 -- four times under FDR and once under Truman.

Conservatives at the time, and since, denounced those presidents for practicing "socialism," which Trump claims is the top problem constricting the economy today.

Okay, I’ve heard all the criticisms. I agree now that my plan to create a Jonestown on Mars was foolish and dangerous. I will instead be building a much more achievable Jonestown on the Moon

They are, but at the same time, it goes to show that greed is still way more powerful than ideology, because they could have left those few bucks on the table so the masses could afford just enough to stay quiet, but even those meager dollars are still too enticing to those assholes.

Josh Anderson was staring at his own pass for the remainder of the play. Clearly he couldn't believe his own skills either.

That's an automatic call... Who knows anymore. Everything is so random.

I find McAvoy and Pastrnak so unlikable.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

NYT: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man The victim was an American citizen with no criminal record who had a firearms permit, the city police chief said. Videos of the encounter contradict the federal government's description of the shooting, a New York Times analysis found.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

The thing I don't understand is, why was it reviewed? What was the point if it couldn't be overturned anyway?

Fascinant! Saint-Louis n'est pas la ville la plus connue, on en parle peu en général. J'apprécie beaucoup ce genre d'articles qui nous donnent un regard dans les coulisses de votre métier. Merci!

DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THINGS ARE WHEN JAZZ MUSICIANS DECIDE *NOT* TO SHOW UP FOR A GIG?

Maybe the problem is that Mike Johnson has too many empty compartments?

He never could but now he really sounds like shit on top of that.

Eating at his what?

This clearly looked like interference to me but what do I know? I don't get the Bet99 game plan unlike the refs.

Then they shouldn't get paid.

1 like on Bluesky is worth 1 like. A bazillion like on Twitter is worth absolutely nothing because who knows anymore what's going on. The algorithm is hooked on ketamine.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

If I've learned anything here is that Google absolutely isn't my friend.

Post Voir de nouveaux posts Conversation Europe 1 @Europe1 Nicolas Sarkozy en prison "C'est un choc pour des gens comme nous ! Nous ne sommes pas faits pour la prison, nous ne sommes pas des animaux, c'est terrible" réagit @JC_Darmon , ami de Nicolas Sarkozy, dans #PascalPraudEtVous @pascalpraud sur #Europe1 4:18 PM · 21 oct. 2025 · 27,2 k vues

Ce type de réaction dit absolument tout.

- « Nous », les puissants, ne pouvons tolérer d'aller en prison (& d'être soumis à la loi commune)

- Et donc il y a « eux », les « animaux », qui peuvent y aller.

Ce n'est pas anecdotique : C'est la clef des politiques pénales de ces dernières décennies.

This man doesn't know anything.

Take a bullet for you babe.

I have never been more targeted in my entire fucking life

See, here's the rub I have with all that's going on: It's terrible. It's awful. But it's all so staggeringly, fucking stupid.

"defund the police" didn't go far enough

get these shitstains out of any position of authority immediately

The internet remains undefeated 😂😅

The Briefing No, the Al Bubble Isn't Worse Than 1999

Here’s a sobering thought. Today’s AI bubble is bigger than the tech bubble of the 1990s, according to Torsten Slok, the chief economist for Apollo whose brief daily emails are widely followed. He bases that statement on his analysis that the top 10 companies in the S&P 500 are today “more overvalued than they were in the 1990s.”

Man even if it isn't, you never ever ever write this headline, but uh, probably don't wanna use this headline with this lede?
