do you know WHY actors and athletes are so well compensated today that it’s hard to look at them as “labor”

because they organized and negotiated for it
beyond just being wrong on the merits, the thing that bugs me about people dismissing actors and athletes as labor is that, historically, they’ve been at the forefront of a lot of labor victories that have helped labor more broadly

It's been a political masterclass from Pope Leo, frankly. I think he was tired of Trump and MAGA co-opting Christianity and said let's get in there and make it an us vs them situation. Make the administration be versus the church. It's smart.

Status professions like media have been gutted over the last 25 years and there is no realistic path to earn one of the few seats left through actual merit or accomplishment. Instead, everything involves playing status games with gatekeepers and it's essential that one comes from their social class.

This is good reporting and all that but here's the thing I learned the other day: Bill Pulte, the 50-year-mortgage dude and the guy who keeps pulling the mortgage docs of Trump's enemies is only 37 years old.

bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Media, business, politics, you name it -- this country is led by weak, feckless cowards. Our elite, our best & brightest, our leaders, are fucking pathetic. That's the problem. One more bit of evidence isn't going to change that. Feh.

Republicans will be like oh you just oppose everything Trump does. Well let me tell you, he's 100% right in getting rid of the penny. Fuck the penny.
The US Mint has said that it will end the production of the penny, its lowest denomination coin, in cost-saving move

Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

In Chicago, the courage of good, everyday folks getting in the face of ICE/BP and fighting back is restoring my faith in America

In DC, the cowardice of Senate Democrats has undermined it, again

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
