I knew I love Fernando Botero because he created a whole alternate world in the most intricate possible way. But I’m just now realizing I love him more bc Pablo Escobar doesn’t get to live in that world: he only gets to die in it.
Wait are we indivisible or are we doing intra-party feuds? Which is it?
We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Working on Capitol Hill is not supposed to be a decades-long career and further incentivizing that is a dumb take for dummies.
I have long argued that the single best thing you could do to improve the functioning of the US government is double the salaries of everyone working on Capitol Hill. Serving Congress shouldn’t involve poverty wages in DC. You could attract a much wider set of perspectives netting a better result.
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

This dude used to sell out MSG and he’s at the casino in Gary.
Dane Cook performs Saturday at the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana as part of a national tour. It’s his first show in the Chicago area since September 2024, when he sold out the Chicago Theatre.
Dane Cook is at Hard Rock Casino this weekend. He says he can ‘finally exhale’ after 30 years as a comic.
Cook said he didn’t always have an easy time of it in his early years. Being trashed by Joan Rivers was a learning experience.

I think this is a bad take and that $260k is a shitload of money YES even in Manhattan.
You want a raise, drop the median rent by $800. Earn it.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

This is why I’ll never hold META stock. When Zucky says “our core business” this is what he means. It will go away eventually.
Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state.
That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators
To fine it for running scam ads.

I will say as a 38 year old that 34 is young and 38 is old so good luck to Zohran on this four-year descent into “fuck I’m old”

Almost impossible not to jump to the conclusion that the Shutdown has caused a plane crash and the FAA is about to cover it up. I don’t think we’ll even see Trump or Mike Johnson acknowledge it publicly.

His framing made me think about Americans' perceptions of the economy in different terms. When they rank a politician on "the economy," perhaps they are doing so with typical *individualistic* American mentality. "The economy" is=how much money do *I* save, make, spend, etc. Maybe this is obvious!

But it's also weird they ask people if No Kings was violent, like it was a matter of opinion rather than fact that it wasn't. It's true some people think the earth is flat; it's not true that it might be flat as a result of those opinions.
