I’m so sorry, Europe, but you’re all about to find out about one of the most pathetic men alive
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

I have come to the conclusion that all gambling should be made illegal again; or at the very least, must all be conducted in person at bookies.

why do we allow private equity in our society? it's obviously bad for everyone in the world except the people doing it. it should be illegal like fraud
Is this good? It doesn't seem good.

Anthropic is aggressively hitting me with ads on instagram for Claude and it’s all people being like “I use Claude to brainstorm” or asking Claude where they can find two colors together in a city. What a pile of crap, how does anybody still believe this is the future? It’s Search 2 and it sucks

I would like to take this opportunity to get on the record and apologize: I had complained about how every single thing at the grocery store now costs five dollars more than it used to, but I had not seen the latest data from DoorDash's State of Local Commerce report, which disproves that.

If dems are going to hold out for a month, why not keep going? Why do we save the republicans? Do you ever, ever want to win a fucking election this century with any kind of mandate. The Democratic Party is not worth a fucking dime.

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

In times like these, reading fantasy is like painful if it is at all noble-bright. Not only do we live as magic-less cretins, we do it living in fear of the times. Then I read 40k or something from Abercrombie, and I think, oh it could be worse! The duality of man
