No. 21: 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Not necessarily the book I’d recommend if you want a deep *economic* explanation of the 1929 crash, but a lot of very interesting human insights into the bankers convinced themselves to continue inflating a giant speculative bubble
I think you’d run the risk of having the AG basically just be a second president
an idea for a viral thread that would break bluesky: “for every like I’ll give one area that I think conservatives might be right about”
One conservative criticism I take seriously is that education PhDs often come up with well-meaning ideas that absolutely melt the brains of kids
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

it‘s a good premise for a sf short story !
Honestly this is less stupid than some earnest abolitionist proposals
in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said
When you aren’t in the room, I will speak up for you, just as I hope you will speak up for me when I’m not in the room.
Anyway, maybe this comes off as performative, but I think we need to perform solidarity and love for our neighbors loudly again.
He most certainly did not “come around,” but he softened somewhat when I started talking about Muslims I’ve known as individual people, who have been kind to me, who have been friends to me. He backed off a little.
I started in quite aggressively against my cousin who was saying really awful shit about Muslims, and he just couldn’t get why I’d feel personal investment in the question.
I‘ve been thinking about this a lot lately—in my life, I’ve been done kindnesses by many people, some of them Muslims, some of them immigrants, some of them trans people, etc. When someone attacks a group, they aren’t just attacking an abstraction—they’re attacking particular people I care about.
For the first time in my life I may have won one of those ”white people tell members of family to be less racist” fights

Is there an open house seat? Or maybe state legislature
Where are you/what would you run for/what do you believe/are you a good talker?
I think it would have been better not to have a shutdown if these were the terms they were going to settle on.
It would be a text. he is also a professional debater essentially, in the annoying YouTube way
i actually do not think it will heal in time, my cousin is a far-right podcaster who is associated with the outer circle of the Trump admin
essentially the only thing holding me back is that we will have to dispose of a house together at some point and I don’t want to have that be a litigation
I disagree; the German reckoning with the past is way overstated (there’s a great book, Out of the Darkness, by Frank Trentmann, that talks about this in great detail). And I do think the Reconstruction Constitution is a different Constitution, even if reconstruction largely failed
The Germans knew; they just didn’t want to think about it.
As I have said before, the broader silence on the ethnic pogrom of terror across this country is one of those things you can’t help noticing from the loudest special boy politics knowers on here.
Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona’s 3rd District describes the “horrific conditions” she witnessed inside the Eloy ICE Detention Center near Phoenix — including a leukemia patient “vomiting blood,” detained in February and forced to wait eight months before finally seeing an oncologist...
it’s a shame that the antichrist is also the funniest man in the country
Trump: We gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers get the Congressional. And they’re in very bad shape because they're dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman. And they’re rated equal

From the outside it might look like ICE officers wear masks to avoid accountability, but in reality they are a way to avoid accountability.
