This is true. FICO was invented in the 50s but it wasn't until 1989 that it became the standardized, life-destroying cudgel we know today.

Many of the people still active on Twitter and bashing Bluesky were declaring "Twitter is not real life" daily in 2019-2020. Text-based social media has always been distinct and in many ways unrepresentative. But the actual frustration they have is with forums that empower progressives/leftists.

I personally don’t find any value in putting faith in billionaire politicians or billionaire funded politicians. I think it’s tantamount to advanced levels of psychological delusion and brain damage. Please stop doing it

This is hanging on the side of the National Grange building on H Street.

Someday a podcaster will drone about how the catalyst for our final downfall was a weedy little shit getting popped by a 15-year-old girl. And oh, how the laughter will ring through the tunnels we skulk in.

Conservative tabloids (and similar) will simply take over the role of setting local/national narratives until liberal owners step up with their own ruthlessly anti-jargon, β€œcommon sense”-focused competitors. Center-left legacy media is not positioned to compete here. www.axios.com/2025/08/04/n...

This statement by a collective of Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani internationalist feminists argues we must oppose the murderous assault that the Israeli and US militaries are carrying out against people in Iran while also refusing to condone the oppression perpetrated by the Iranian government.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.
