They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

I'm glad I went to WorldCon today because someone just got up to the mic and told George R.R. Martin to his face that he's going to die soon and started to ask whether Brandon Sanderson would finish his books and everyone started to boo.

Let me repost this. Will some “journalist” please do their f***ing job and ask why Trump pulled a 180 and now is invoking AEA?
I just think this should be shouted from the rooftops:
On his last full day in office, January 19, 2021, President Trump signed a DED (Deferred Enforced Departure) for 145,000 Venezuelans, granting them legal status for 18 months within the USA.
Now he villainizes and demonizes them. Sham(e).

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

For many Americans battling opioid addiction, getting methadone isn't easy.
It can only be prescribed in federally regulated methadone clinics. Nationwide, there are only about 2,000 of them. In fact, 80% of U.S. counties have no clinic.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Why do insects fly around artificial lights? They don't actually want to fly towards them, they just can't really get away from them.
Insects naturally tilt their dorsum towards a light source, and as a result end up flying around it in circles, trapped.
