Raw milk was not the sort of thing you would give to baby ☠️
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
I wonder if the courts become so politicized as to get some appointees that believe that defiance of the SC precedent is justified.
Just add that China's current modernization plans for 7,175 ships. Always works for RAF Luton.
I feel like the problem is that the US comp sci & related folks were working on rent extraction of social media and cryptocurrency etc while China was on large scale engineering. It may help their personal finances but not the strategic rivalry. US needs to change the incentives.
And the reason the Dems played with taxes was that they accepted the Republican rhetoric about the debt. As did Obama's response to the financial crisis.
Politicians who don’t think about renters much sometimes say this, because scarcity of homes does indeed solve the “problem” of vacancy…for developers & landlords Solving it from the average tenant’s perspective requires making homes less expensive to create, forcing landlords to compete on price
I was going to dispute the availability of white bread, but I just checked and it turns out my grocer DOES have it. So why does it feel like all the white bread was replaced by woke bread?
That's nice. None of mine have turned out so well. Maybe you have the soul of a baker.
We should find a way to communicate this to everyone.
Ooh bread pudding? Or not enough liquid to qualify?
I don't speak Lorenz but perhaps she is suggesting that the Dem poobahs are getting ready to triangulate their way into they did about TikTok, and the way they are doing about calling the Cecot, DOGE, and National Guard deployments "a distraction" because the median voter is OK with those things.
I'm sure his god is an vindictive, angry god. He has been talking about Heaven recently too. Odd behavior for the world's healthiest man.
I imagine that the National Guard, who have their own jobs while not deployed, may be happier in "the barracks". In other words, their own homes with their families and friends.
Isn't that the point of research program? When I was young, people believed that the cause of stomach ulcers was stress. Now we know it is commonly H pylori bacteria.
The lead up to the declaration of martial law in Pakistan included the use of the military, called to stop a pogrom, for performing civic functions in Lahore like cleaning, planting trees and repairing roads. People began to see martial law positively. By 1958 Pakistan’s fledgling democracy died.
Do you remember how in the waning months on the campaign trail, Trump abruptly cancelled his rallies and returned to Mar A Lago because he was "tired"? He just stopped doing the political thing he likes: rallies. Seemed like the hand bruising showed up a bit later, yeah?
Roll back ICE and DHS funding too.
revolvers are also cheap and reliable.
I think they also don't understand corruption at the top trickles down to local officials too. Part of the game is politicians siphoning off other people's money.
Hard to believe the DOGE boys didn't know this efficiency pro tip.
Than, that's interesting but way too low in the context of "where is our Mozart" or whatever. It may be literally true but people mean (usually) adults and not early death like child mortality.
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
Probably half the people who ever existed are alive today. I think about the implications of that sometimes.
RFK Jr does the R Crumb cartoon
I want to say it's a 35mph pitch but I just can't believe that it's true.
The Senate Dems do have power, and they voted for Trumps nominees and the ICE expansion. And they deserve the blame they get for it.

If it reaches the normies I am for it. I especially think they need Spanish language influencers.
I will never forgive any of the elected officials that passed this budget.
One of the goals. Remember JD Vance threatened to withdraw from NATO if the EU enforced its laws on Elon Musk's Twitter/X.
Obsessed
Our tech moguls have truly cooked their brains.
Future home of America's Gulag system and Thiel's network states, if the Trump boys get their way.
There is one in the wayback machine web.archive.org/web/20250822...
Yes! that was one of the points. Also mentioned there are plenty of left style memes of old (unions, socialism, New Deal, etc) to draw on but untapped.
It didn't get into the substance of any particular meme. More about esthetics, like how AI is good at nostalgic image generation, and how the far right is more willing to employ AI and why.
I'd take him over Jeffries or Schumer, too.
All of the organisms are the same filter feeders. But when environmental conditions are right, some of them grow into giants and consume the others.
I think part of it is he isn't going after "gotcha" questions. As with Lew here, he stops and asks "what do you mean by this"?
You must have forgotten how Trump invented 7 different vaccines last term
Washington Post Editors: that Dingo is so naughty!
Butterworths. Fascist, but nuanced.
I'm concerned the real vulnerability is harassment of election officials and breaking or grabbing ballots, machines, etc
Am I the only one to think those chairs look uncomfortable? Like no lumbar support? Beautiful office though.
Who could have predicted that the GOP would usher in Trotsky's permanent revolution to the United States?
I would have imagined that all those big strong men thanking him with tears in their eyes was enough. I guess not.
What the hispanic community heard was that Trump would deport criminals. Dems need to aggressively remind them of this. They ought to regularly do this in Spanish language media as well.
Coumo would probably try
Interesting article if you read or willing to translate from Dutch. Thoughts about why far right wing parties are effectively employing AI.
oh thought it was the mouth open Flehmen thing
The old mouth sniff trick.
I am curious why are the jailers sitting and talking with the former prisoners? Is this ordered by judges? Can you explain the background?
I've noticed that a lot of the "Classical Rome and Greece Appreciators" whine constantly about virtue signaling. But Roman and Greek philosophers were obsessed with promoting virtue as the foundation of their societies. It's weird and I think for their attraction is to Classical esthetics.
A timeless tale.
I predict he will instead be one of those "I didn't help Trump and everything is the fault of the NPC brigade that didn't listen to my wise counsel" Richard Hanania types.
Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!
I'm totally unqualified to judge, but was recently reading about how they interact with the lymphatic system. There are a lot of differences! I've done Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax 2x, and probably go back to one of the mRNAs this fall. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
I think it's more likely he can't do his own hair anymore and he is too much of a control freak to get an assistant. His makeup is noticeably sloppier than it was even a year ago, too.
If I was Trump and wanted to overstay my final move uses ICE to prevent the EC/certification. At that point it's up to Roberts. I doubt the military would make itself a civil war tool. Also Schumer was right that a govt shutdown would hand the reins to Trump.
If Roberts' court approves whatever the mechanism is, it will be a difficult for the military to disobey. And we know how his court calls the balls and strikes.
This time he abducts the Democratic congressional delegation and congress will simply cease to meet.
I figured out who Gavin Newsom reminds me of. Tancredi, from The Leopard. A young nobleman who joins Garibaldi's revolution, not to overthrow the old order, but to preserve it for himself. "For things to stay the same, everything must change"
I don't even bother with gift links anymore.
Sure, but the question you asked was when was it last at the Fed target.
What did Ben Franklin say: Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn at no other, and scarce in that.
Year on Year real PCE is just over 2% and previously was under 2% in 2024
The first time returning to see the sauna full of frogs he definitely said "fuck yeah this is awesome". And I won't be convinced otherwise.
"Frogs readily find and enter saunas on their own" was not a sentence I expected to read.
Unless voters HEAR how CHIPs, BBB, IRA, etc help them personally, it didn't happen. If voters heard about those things at all it was from GOP allies.
Sounds like a bill of atainder to me.
I'm sure this will end well.
He seems to be describing a guild.
All I see is soup.
Epstein is an important piece to Trump's popularity. But his popularity is not going to matter if he is able to rule by force. That second thing must be prevented.
Oregon is unusual that in most states the "University of X" is the prestigious research university and "X State University" is a teaching school. In Oregon it's functional with OSU getting the technical programs. If UO cuts humanities it diminishes it; not just a shift of focus.
Enjoyed my Sunday afternoon visit to X dot com
I agree with your list of similarities but there are some striking similarities to Hitler as well. Robert Paxton's description of how the disorder was instumentalized in Germany is strikingly similar to Trump and the MAGA movement.
Every damn one of them probably lives in Virginia and voted for Trump so it's like a "choose your own adventure" book for them.
If the government won't stop without unconditional surrender or revolt, it will only end with unconditional surrender or revolt. It's best to understand this from the outset. It will be unpleasant either way, but you won't be confused at how events unfold.
The chosen time to respond has not yet arrived. bsky.app/profile/thet...
Is it possible to hold back funds in order to support refund laws (ie customer has 30 day to refund digital products?)
The Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles inflation and job metrics. But with the enormous corruption of Trump and his lackeys, I have to wonder whether companies will continue to extremely sensitive data to obvious regime lackeys.
I don't think of them as being "pretty" but that one is beauty.
I know it's not the point of the story but did he explain why he needed so many copies of your book? I am finding myself fixated on this point, it strikes me as so peculiar.
So it's not part of a longer thread making a point, he thinks tariffs would be included? I mean, that's how it read but he's been around long enough that it surprises me regsrdless.
Why does he seem to expect PPI to include tariffs when BLS says they are excluded? www.bls.gov/ppi/faqs/que...
Definitely my most played of their albums. Which one(s) did you play?
Janet "see you in court" Mills.
the 30 hr/week work requirement is removing people from SNAP
Further evidence that Socrates' executioners did nothing wrong
www.bls.gov/ppi/faqs/que...
Consumers will pay, but don't think tariffs are the cause of the spike of PPI
Seems like mostly yes and a little bit of no www.bls.gov/ppi/faqs/que...
Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
On the topic of who Matt Yglesias is going to blame for the failure of Democrats at the ballot box. Probably covers a lot of NYT type pundits.
This is so stupid. National Guard don't sign up to be deployed in the US as auxiliary law enforcement and aren't paid enough.
Van Gogh being defined by madness, misses that he was a well read, thoughtful, and a good judge of character. Here he accuses evangelicals of having no spirituality whatsoever. He's also a passionate and poetic writer.
