Sorry Reuters you’ve already been scooped by No Shit Magazine

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

There would be some comfort in it if other Americans were into the war and I was some kind of dissident intellectual voice. Instead everyone doesn’t want to be in the dumbass war and we’re just doing it anyway

God I miss having Ebert around. Who are we reading these days?

I've got like David Sims, Film Crit Hulk, maybe some notably cancelled Devin Faraci or not so cancelled Alan Sepinwall. Sean T Collins for TV recap. I'd prob read Amy Nicholson if the LA Times wasn't owned by a suck.

I wonder how those numbers square with new people entering the workforce (aging in, immigration, etc.)β€”but I guess an unemployment number is what I'm looking for then

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

We need to remember thisβ€”we're in the era of the con.

Overconfidence in the market.
Overconfidence in AI.
Overconfidence in truth.

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.

The first legit holy shit celebrity I ever met, and to this day one of the kindest. Classy, hilarious and uniquely talented. I don’t have anything else to say. I just love this man.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

every time one of these markets dissembles and parses and weasels their way out of paying people on a technicality my heart grows three sizes like the grinch. i love to watch these people get scammed on crypto and nfts and gambling. they deserve it and it's funny and it's not my problem at all
