Internet muskox, queer person, economist & a bunch of other stuff. 40/any pronouns. Don't expect a cohesive brand from me.
Please no begging/solicitation. I'm tired and poor as fuck.
Pinned
Just to Start, since this is a member of my discipline either obfuscating the truth or forgetting it: The cost of shelter has risen much faster than the cost of the items used to measure inflation (usually a 'basket of goods')
Love the charts. I wish people were more curious about why people's lived reality doesn't match up with the charts, because nothing is more frustrating to poor people than feeling like they're being gaslit by exasperated Democrats
Everyone has utterly lost the plot about the actual material state of the economy. It's as if the last 4 years did not happen. Denial of the shape of the earth. There's really no other conclusion other than that nothing actually matters anymore. We're through the looking glass into pure vibes.

and then after being president, unfortunately the dog also has to go to prison
Clinton should be in prison. Trump should be in prison. Bush should be in prison. Hell, Obama should probably be in prison. Fuck it, elect a dog. There's no rule that says a dog can't be president.

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Seeing a bunch of confused/logic dunk posts about tariffs and while there are a bunch of things that maybe aren't too clear in Trump's strategies he spent what felt like a year acting like tariffs were a tax he could impose on foreign companies & people. He clearly thought he could tax the world.

It should be illegal for any corporate entity to own homes, and the max amount of homes any person should be able to own is two.

Also, 100% of a person's wealth over 500 million dollars should be taxed to find Universal Basic Income and Universal Healthcare for All.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This is, I think, one of the biggest things that people struggle with, because our society is steeped in ideas around people inherently being "good" or "evil", "deserving" or "undeserving", and so on, exactly because it's a eugenicist hierarchical society.
This is, of course the divide between conservative and liberal/leftist thought. The right wing is obsessed with what's in people's hearts because they think evil is inherent, something you are or aren't. On the left, we care about actions. Evil is what you DO.
Okay real talk? I kind of don’t even care about what Epstein was or wasn’t attracted to, what matters is what he fucking did and what people participated in and enabled

INTERVIEWER: I'm not sure about that answer...

Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

Eh, I don't know, Zombieland 2 just felt like a pointless sequel.

So, do you remember that one gag in Shaun of the Dead where they meet the other group of survivors who mirror them? Imagine if that one gag was stretched out really, really long and wasn't funny. Yeah.
Ruben Fleischer says they’re looking at making ‘ZOMBIELAND 3’ for 2029.

one dope thing about getting older is actually getting to see some shit you thought was neat many years ago bear fruit. I felt like this following the application of ketamine therapy for treatment resistant depression for like 10+ years, only for it to be a real thing now that saved my life
So, a bunch of my friends back in college actually researched the potential future mRNA applications could have.

I genuinely thought it sounded magical, something that might happen in the next century.

And now it's real! It's effective!
