Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

"Why so many Americans dislike this fast-growing economy"
because it's almost entirely driven by tech billionaires and hedge funds playing slots with an imaginary technology, so the "numbers going up" has next to no bearing on their situation except where it causes scarcity elsewhere?

Trump’s spawn joins a drone manufacturer, and the next thing you know, importing drones and their components is banned.
Here’s some more analysis on how the new ban on the import of foreign drone components is going to impact drone manufacturing (the impacts are not, I imagine, gonna be good)

The rush to put the Plagiarism and Lies Machine into every child’s hand is a transparent plot to stupefy the public and disarm them from being able to control their destiny and fight back against political elites. They need you ignorant to control you better.
"Elected officials must ensure that funding for technology
and training is readily at hand. Schools must allocate those funds in ways that prioritize student learning."
No. Elected officials must increase the number of teachers and their pay, and fund arts programs. "A.i." should get no money.

All I'm saying is it makes PERFECT sense now why Trump immediately went to Florida when he got booted out of NYC. Florida is pedo paradise with a bunch of local cops and feds protecting the whole deal. It's the pedo state. Jeff probably pitched Florida to him forever.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

David Brooks thinks it's unfair to call these people "the Epstein class."
To all marveling at photos of NYT columnist David Brooks dining with Jeffrey Epstein, 2 years after Epstein finished his sentence for procuring a child for prostitution, here's what it was: the 2011 "Edge Billionaire's Dinner". Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were there too. 1/

The pervasive worldview among America's elites is that the powerful should be exempt from criticism regardless of their behavior, and those of lesser status must be disciplined if they defy this rule and dare to object. Gotta stand together to protect privilege against the barbarians at the gates!

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

If you get your groceries anywhere other than Walmart, Trump and his cronies have ensured you're paying a higher price for your Lays, Gatorade, and Pepsi
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.
