This doesn’t mean that it’s over, just that the picture is a lot less rosy than some people want you to believe

Hate to be the one to throw cold water on the “solar will save us” thing but the Chinese solar companies that were driving this are in dire condition because overcapacity is a very real problem and not something that an economist made up to scare you.

Someone is going to come along and do the smug “oh you think he’s a victim and not in on it” and I want to get ahead of that and say: Yes, I think Joe Rogan is a very dumb person who doesn’t know how much he’s being manipulated.

I should be more specific: I broke my Facebook algorithm by yelling at the New York Post and sometime last month the feed was all right wing influencers yelling about a trans person shooting up a hockey rink. Now Rogan’s picked it up because he’s stewing in that environment.

If you want to know what Joe Rogan’s going to think in a few episodes, keep your ear to the ground for whatever the online right is trying to make stick. They’re calling him the world’s most susceptible person to propaganda.

My personal needs and desires are inscrutable, even to myself, AND I VOTE

*realizing I haven’t been outside in sunshine all week* ohhhhhhhhhhh

Just saw an Instagram video of a guy claiming that you need 200 grams of protein a day to lose weight and I’ve never been more certain that we need more professional licensing organizations and limits on who can give out recommendations

Would you have seen this if they hadn’t?

Have we all caught on to them constantly violating copyright on their content to try to get it in front of more eyes that would usually ignore whatever the White House posts? It’s a pretty clear strategy.

No I'm not going to fall for a big thread from an anonymous account about Platner's "big lie", that makes you look like a crank. Just keep pointing out that he's got shit judgment or else you run the risk of looking goofy.

I keep seeing people say that this won't affect them because they don't drive and an oil shock is way, way more than just the cost of putting gas in your car.

Well not necessarily

Live look at the Trump White House

You're not a politics millennial if you didn't learn about the the Strait of Hormuz on a forum as a teenager after 9/11

It's oddly reassuring to see war with Iran going exactly like how everyone has said it would for the last several decades

There’s going to be a huge moment in a sudden death playoff game that comes down to a guy who’s usually nails having a bad day, it’s going to be incredible

The WBC rocks because a team's fate rests on every relief pitcher being locked in when the games are in March, it's great baseball chaos

It's because Frakes's back is mondo fucked

I do want to watch the Biggs cut because it makes it American Graffiti in Space. I don’t think that’s better.

figure 5.1 U.S. Economic Growth, 1790–2012

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it

How could you not

Look a bottle of wine would have sent the wrong message despite being accurate for what he was up to

It's written by Marshall Crenshaw!

Okay if you read the filing this isn't "we can't refund this" it's "we can't do this fast enough to comply with the court order", which makes sense.

What are you talking about it was a 77 MPH curveball way in the zone

Every socialist meme is like that, huh?

People would do well to learn a volume of discourse between "everything's great" and "it's fucked forever"
