A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedianโ€™s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the โ€œbanality of evil personifiedโ€ in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

No one hates innovation & competition more than those on top.

They strive to quash it to prevent loss of status.

@dacemoglumit.bsky.social & @simonhrjohnson.bsky.social just won the Nobel Prize for work including this theme.

Feel like this is a bit of expost justification for Chase. Like itโ€™s also literally the only way it can grow its retail bank b/c itโ€™s not allowed to buy anyone any more.

The corsica studios Fred again raffle is a clever bit of price discrimination. My guess is they raise close to a million. They deserve it all and I hope it helps create a great and lasting new version of whatever it becomes.

Think we need to talk about BSDS again.

"Balance Sheet Derangement Syndrome", where every economic problem is considered to be a function of the size of the central bank's balance sheet.

This is a terrific observation because itโ€™s what a moral panic looks like. If there was a good article to be written on this topic, then someone would do it and there wouldnโ€™t be a market for a million lesser follow-ups
