Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

“Businesses can’t take on the entire burden.” For a supposedly business friendly nation we ask businesses to do an awful lot of the work of society. Why does my employer need to manage my health insurance? Or my sick days?
Where’s the restroom? Minneapolis needs more answers
Businesses can’t take on the entire burden. The city must invest in a network of free, accessible and well-maintained public restrooms.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

If you want a takeaway from 2024 it’s that policy doesn’t matter and that the Democrats can win by promising to throw everyone Ross likes in jail for making the cost of groceries go up

I just remembered a very beautiful platformer I played a few years ago on Switch; Lost Words: Beyond the Page. If you like narrative games and puzzle platforming, might I suggest giving this one a go? It is beautiful too, from the art to the writing (the latter from none other than @rhi.bsky.social)

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Every one of these I read is better than the last. Even if you Hate apples (who?) read this one for the description of the American supermarket experience.
Today's apple review jumps back into the land of grocery store apples with the OPAL. And tomorrow, I hear a certain cosmically-inclined apple gets its time in the sun.

"Only billionaires should pay higher taxes" discourse is downstream from a general belief that policy change need not involve tradeoffs, and that the very existence of tradeoffs is an automatic dealbreaker. My run-ins with people who hold this view are what will finally cause my psychotic break.
