Good materialist cause (not excuse) for the cowardice of the US press corps: it's really hard to get journalistic jobs now so everyone is on tenterhooks all the time

In case it wasn't already obvious what a prick Lawrence Summers is. Not that being both dumb as bricks and an asshole has ever stopped ~star economists~ from being treated as authorities on every subject under the sun, just cause economists cultivate that aura

Had a fascinating conversation w a dozen sex workers today—ages 25-60ish, some w their infants w them. Main takeaway: USAID cuts hit their work HARD, not just bc ppl who lost their jobs are also now doing sex work, but bc USAID projects led to conferences whose attendees hired them (& no longer do)

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.
FIFA head says 'you will see' at World Cup draw if Trump receives new peace prize
FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award for the first time at the World Cup draw on Dec. 5 in Washington.
