It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

there are about a million different incentives for Zohran to play this the way he did, it's very funny that there's basically no reason for Trump to behave this way except that 1. he loves celebrities 2. is obsessed with being liked in New York City and 3. was clearly charmed... and that worked

I fly a lot for work. It's insane to think people dressing comfortably on planes is the problem and not an across the board massive decline in service from every airline. Seats are smaller, food service is reduced to barely a snack. A lot to fix there before blaming passengers!

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

The thing that would break sports gambling would be if we found out that a commissioner was making prop bets. Not that I think that’s happened but nothing would surprise me.

The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

The deeply unprofessional masked goons are now going to subcontract their bounties to completely unprofessional armed goons. Awesome.
“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”
Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

Sometimes in a world of shit, people just want to enjoy a little nice thing every once in a while. Instead of reporting on how housing and car costs are at an all-time high (BY A HUGE MARGIN), we get this nonsense over and over again. It's so old, like the editors who approve it.

Ceasefires aren’t like a kids game of tag where you can pause and unpause on a whim. Even in that game, it’s bullshit.
Israel said it would resume its ceasefire in Gaza after it pounded the area with airstrikes for over 14 hours in response to what it said were violations by Hamas.
The airstrikes killed at least 104 Palestinians, officials said, including 46 children.
