Not even just pragmatists, people even today love FDR without pretending to be balanced about it, even though the very same person initiated Executive Order 9066,
then comes the "well nobody's perfect but he was pretty good and did what he had to do".

People don’t want to admit their hair trigger reaction when Stalin is mentioned has everything to do with anti communism. None of you get this incensed when Churchill or US presidents are brought up. I bet you voted Kamala despite her role in genocide. You understand pragmatics when you want to.

Riding a bike has taught me there are zero consequences for car owners who tint all of their windows black to the point you can't tell if there's a driver in the car
i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Over the past few days, cattle ranchers and agricultural groups have been sounding the alarm that a plan to import more foreign beef would hurt struggling ranchers.

200+ bike and scooter corrals will be installed across Seattle to make it clearer and easier to find a place to park shared bikes and scooters.
These, created by local artist Roy (Eroyn) Franklin, were installed in partnership with Seattle Symphony, Benaroya Hall, and the Office of Arts & Culture.

As opposed to what, Sam Altman nuking the US labor market and saying "if you lose your job you didn't have a real job in the first place"?
it's not my fault the US doesn't really have a public mission beyond killing people and making profit at any cost. We could be better, but we are here.

🧲 We’re seeing the horseshoe event horizon when the lefties cheering on China because they see it as a counterforce against the US align with the Silicon Valley tech titans high on China as an advanced Sino-topian techno-surveillance state.

Since this goober turned off all interaction with this:
My parents employment was as a small business franchise owner, I.e. no employer provided health insurance. As such, most of my childhood was uninsured, paying out of pocket because post ACA health insurance was exorbitantly expensive.

what if instead of a dictatorship of the proletariat, the republicans did dictatorship of a Donald Trump so it's basically Marxism? I Am A Political Scientist 🤓
When tools like Mike Johnson warn about the “rise of Marxism” in the Democratic Party, let’s be clear: the Republicans steadfastly support Marxism, as long as wealth is redistributed to corporations and the rich

minors need political agency.
Like they're not adults, we all know that. But It's depressing when we consider them the legal property of their parents, rather than one of stewardship for their well-being.
Also see: troubled teen camps, conversion therapy, needing parental consent for medical care.

forgive my petit econ brain but so many workplaces will fall apart without coffee, it's basically a keystone of the 21st century
Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

my Woke take that people will hate me for: stop using the word "hysteria"! It's linguistically derived from "illness of the womb" and it's more often than not used in a misogynistic fashion, i.e. "these women are being irrationally loud and angry"
also Bari Weiss is a hack pundit not a journalist
