It's annoying to see the hand-wringing over a small number of wealthy people making empty threats to move because of tax increases, when there are actually people leaving desirable places en masse because they can't find affordable places to live

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland

Brown caved earlier this year and look what it did for them.
I had missed this. Perverse even by the standards of the Trump White House. They’re threatening to pull student aid from Brown over the shooting www.nbcboston.com/news/local/t...
Trump administration investigates Brown's security after shooting
The Department of Education said its Office of Federal Student Aid would investigate if Brown University violated the Higher Education Act in connection with the deadly shooting on Dec. 13.

Go back to a world where “heritage American” was a type of tomato or cow
For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

AI and parenting seems like a hell-discourse because there *are* a lot of use cases for where it could make things substantially easier for parents and there are also use cases where if you use them with your kid you should be sent to Tartarus.

President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

I feel like there's a politics to take the good parts of abundance and whatever you'd call this guy's problem is by going after rent seeking and middlemen etc. i don't trust Klein or the bro brandeisians to figure this out honestly.
I don’t always agree with of the broader political takes from some “abundance”-coded pundits but man the abundance critics are just pure nonsense merchants
like, what’s this guy’s deal? literally making up a guy to dunk on the idea that cities should build more housing and transit.
