The U.S. economy has lost jobs since "Liberation Day."

“When you think about it, we weren’t trying to make history or trying to rewrite history. We were responding to the problems of the particular time.”
What a life! Rest in power.
My pitch for Casablanca always is "It's good, it's fun, it's movies. Liking movies and not liking Casablanca is an impossibility. You are guaranteed a good time." I have never had anyone disagree after they watch it.
Whoa
I served as the rink announcer for some McGill/Concordia games and boy did I call her name a lot
"a guy who believes in Trump's war also believes that being interviewed by Isaac Chotiner will go well for him" is in and of itself a data point against the war
"God has a plan for all of us" is a pretty astonishing thing to say when someone set herself on fire because of you.

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.
Now, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
good Lord what is happening in there
Don't mention the war

I gather that everyone here is 100% certain Donald Trump is a misogynist.
So who here actually knew that his wife is a woman?
And how does that influence your certainty?

FACT: The Trump administration started a war in the Middle East with NO PLAN WHATSOEVER to ensure the safety of the hundreds of thousands of American citizens in the region.
Will Texas turn blue in November? Well [takes a long drag off of a joint] what does “blue” even *mean*, man?

The war is a distraction from the other wars.
It rules that the biggest name in conspiracy mongering about propaganda and shadowy elites is the son of the former head of Voice of America, tried to join the CIA, and is on the record in multiple legal cases admitting that his viewers shouldn't trust him.
A man with the government has been at the last two hearings relating to the contempt claim. Both times, he sat in the section of the courtroom open only to parties and counsel. Although not at counsel’s table, Littman and Jean Lin, the other Justice Department lawyer present at both hearings, has repeatedly consulted with him during both hearings. After today’s hearing — and after not being able to figure out for myself who he was after the last hearing — I asked him who he was. I had my press pass visibly displayed and identified myself as a reporter. He said he didn’t want to do that. I suggested that he must be a government official or employee, sitting where he was, and, if so, I asked incredulously if he really was not going to tell a reporter at a hearing who he was. He said no. Then, the people leaving — myself included — got to the elevator. Littman, Lin, mystery man, and two other people sitting with mystery man on the government side of the courtroom during the hearing on Wednesday were getting into the elevator. Some of them were already in the elevator. When I stepped in, mystery man said he would wait for the next elevator. Everyone else then got out of the elevator. Left in the elevator alone, I looked at these five adults — all of whom I believe have to be government employees, hence, paid by the public and allegedly working for the public — and was some combination of bemused and appalled. “You are all ridiculous,” I simply said. The door closed.
And, the story of the mystery man.

It’s also completely wrong on its own terms! To state the obvious, the point of Chotiner’s give-em-enough-rope interviews isn’t to persuade the subject
If one accepts this premise, I have very bad news about podcasting, punditry, and academia
