Not sure why anyone thinks any policy lessons are going to be learned from the 2024 election. The lesson is gonna be ‘don’t run someone that’s 80 years old and hope you don’t hold the ball when inflation happens’
Biden was the best we’re ever going to do on student loans because a very clear lesson there was that there is apparently absolutely no electoral benefit to moving heaven and earth to try and help student debtors
Congrats again to the people who continuously said Biden did nothing about student loans for four years! www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/s...

I just don't really think it's such a foregone conclusion that Harris losing has soundly killed any chance of full employment and student debt relief but like mostly just because it seems like so many elected Democrats are coming around to the thinking that "2024 was an unaccountable aberration."

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

I think what’s missing in the thought process is again this ridiculous median-voter-ism that thinks successful democratic governance is about parroting back to people what they say they want. No! People want you to lead them in a direction, inspire them, confirm for them that we are moving forward.

After HBO aired the GoT episode with the Starbucks cup, there was a great thread about how many different overworked people had to be at the point of physical exhaustion to have let it get all the way through to the final product

something i learned reading an academic handbook on couples therapy is a theory that most couples don't ever really resolve core contentions, they have frozen conflicts they manage. i think this is the same with insecurities as well
manosphere gives men really bad advice but stuff like "you need to be comfortable with yourself before others will like you" is also bad advice

this kind of advice is delivered by people who haven't thought about whether anyone might have this sort of problem, correctly concluded that whether someone has this problem isn't _their_ problem, and then proceeded to the secondary conclusion that no one has this problem without deserving it

It's very much the "don't go until the next 5 lights are green" of dating advice. Awkwardness has to be chiseled with experience. Only way I got past some of my shyness to teach was to simply start teaching, struggle through it, take feedback seriously and make incremental changes. Same with dating.

it's very interesting how many people's response to the misuse of disability accommodations is to do away with accommodations entirely rather than reform the system to reduce false positives

I worked in education and saw this first hand and frankly who cares. This is probably the biggest disconnect in education right now which is the old guard who thinks that timed essentially memorization quizzes are important and how to test actual understanding of material

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
