The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Bitcoin was invented 16 years ago. If crypto provided any utility beyond buying drugs online, creating a new form of gambling or indulging Libertarian anti-state fantasies, it would have broken into the mainstream by now.
Fed Kashkari still hating on crypto: "It's still basically useless for consumers. I mean, there's, there's nothing you can do with Bitcoin or a stablecoin that you can't already do with Venmo or with your traditional banking products, other than circumventing banking regulation."

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”

Just finished, The Flesh King by @richardkadrey.bsky.social .
I love this series. The characters have a great dynamic, the monsters are nasty as hell, and the story is fast-moving, but still has plenty of twists. The monster POV sections are chilling, like they were in the last book.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

So, my wife and I were watching the Samalamadingdong episode of @gamechangershow.bsky.social , when I paused the episode. She couldn’t stop laughing, and, while I am sure what I was saying was hilarious, it didn’t merit that level of reaction. Looked back at the screen to find this freeze frame:
