Learned today that around 1990, Mercedes-Benz briefly offered a "mobile office" package for the W126 S-Class that included a fully functioning printer, scanner, and fax machine built into an armrest.

there’s something distasteful in the way people describe the poor as having only their economic plight guide their values. it feels almost condescending, as though they can’t walk and chew gum and think that disrespecting an historic office is bad.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.

Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Love seeing the US transitioning to 1600s Europe economic policy. Really sticking it to Adam Smith and David Ricardo.
I want to note again how completely insane you have to be for your goal to be a “bilateral trade balance of zero” with every country. Just nutso.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
