This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

This is the best analysis of news media and social media I've read in a long time - with some very good news for the relatively few news outlets taking the much harder path of building subscription businesses instead of attention businesses (yes, there is a big difference).
The Desire Distribution
Substack’s revenue curve, the end of the winner-take-all media markets, and the cleansing power of money.

Tying people’s insurance to their job and it’s not even free has got to be one of the biggest scams America ever concocted.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The United States is now North Korea, only with nukes that work and grocery stores full of food, but only if you have the money to buy it.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration?

You know, I only just realised that it might not about the foreign workers. It could have been about the batteries. Think how anti renewables this prick is. Using ICE (I-SS?) to fuck the project up would make sense.

Just merged Thomas Piketty and Raj Chetty into one person in my head in preparing for a lecture on inequality, and was very confused when a search "Raj Piketty" didn't turn up the results I expected.

Anyway here's income inequality in the US over time from Piketty, I think it's very relevant.

A Christian Ministers response to Charlie Kirk’s murder. While we condemn his murder and the gun violence that led to it, we must also reject MAGA‘s effort to portray him as something he was not‼️

Odd, I keep hearing that the same person who paid for buses to transport domestic terrorists to Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021, to threaten the lives of police officers, members of Congress, and the vice president was a paragon of "civility." Girl, please.

One thing is certain: a lot more people will know what a “groyper” is and what their radical memes mean now regardless of whether the suspect turns out to be one:
