Extremely tangential, but the Jan 6th - Jan 20th triumvirate is one of those things that is unknown to most of the population. It has had no effects, and I thought it would.
one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

There’s evidence for Leia and her descendants being force sensitive, something the Organas were not known for. Senator Binks’ personal diaries border on the unreadable but include contemporary references to Skywalker and Amidala having an unusually close relationship for a Senator and Jedi bodyguard

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

So Control. Much Taking. Very Back #Brexit
The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

Honestly, boycott Starbucks. Go to Aroma Joe's or Tim Horton. Better quality coffee and the prices are cheaper.

DRAGON FIRE (1989)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 32” x 20”
After I submitted my concept sketch for the cover of SUNRUNNER’S FIRE by Melanie Rawn, I realized that the anatomy of the dragon’s wings was inconsistent with the structure on the other covers I had done for the series. 1/3

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
