It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

Trump's White House & fawning hacks here don't really care about the 0.001% that the BBC gets wrong. They care about all the stuff it gets right.

Batteries are coming to Europe. Earlier this year Europe’s largest battery storage site went live at Blackhillock, Scotland.

The facility has a capacity of 300MW/600MWh.

Much larger batteries are under development: A huge 1 GW / 4 GWh system is being constructed in Jänschwalde, Germany.

Now do the graph on University tuition. Is that NIMBY too?

Baby boomers benefited from low university tuition, lower education requirements for entry jobs, cheaper housing, higher minimum wage… then they pulled the ladder up behind them.

The most consequential shift of 1776 “was not one of battle lines but of ideology: the rejection of monarchism as a core American value,” Edward J. Larson writes:

Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

True story!
One thing I remember from the early 80s was the generic foods aisle. (Where I shopped.) White boxes marked "macaroni and cheese" and cans marked "chili" and "beer." (Mac and cheese? 25 cents, or about 80 cents today.)
That recession, and the unemployment it brought, was brutal.
Wasn't there a point in the early 80's where unemployment in the US approached 10%? Some of my friends from that time have fond memories of unemployment checks, food stamps, and other not so fun things

Nah that is not what is happening. People will very specifically claim that average Americans have less purchasing power and are more financially squeezed than in the 80s. I promise: these are just INCORRECT BELIEFS. It’s the progressive equivalent of the people who think crime is always increasing

For some Americans, foreign actors “stand in the way of prosperity or otherwise corrupt the country,” @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. “But when lashing out becomes a substitute for looking inward, such criticism devolves into conspiracism.”
Blaming Foreigners for American Failings Won’t Fix Them
Railing against Ukraine, Israel, and other outsiders is easy. Solving problems at home is not.

JPM DESK, on the market mood:

Rule of law exemplified. Reagan appointed federal Judge who has resigned because President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment

I also haven’t forgotten how you all were ready to destroy Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday because you all thought she sided with the Trump admin regarding SNAP benefits.
Yall want Democrats to create miracles out of vibes when we needed to give them votes to put/keep them in power.
A reminder of why we are here today.

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.
