Well. The government and the corporate AI overlords govnts seem hell bent on subsidizing.

Hospice was the only way we could get palliative care services, including mental health counseling, for my mom when she was terminally ill. She lived for 1.5 yrs on it and I don’t know what we would have done without it. Absolutely stabilized her and increased her quality of life at the end.

This was super informative— thank you!

One officer died of a stroke days after the Capitol riot. His autopsy report lists exposure to a high concentration of bear spray (by rioters) as a contributing factor. Four other cops died by suicide in the weeks and months after. But sure, Minneapolis residents under siege are the terrorists 😒

This is so dumb. Plenty of alternative social media sites to join, stop enabling Musk.

And you could make the same argument in favor of preserving a rules-based int’l order, or common morality, in foreign relations. No sense in dismissing those as compelling reasons not to colonize and extract simply because doing so is convenient for Dort.

Yep, just replacing biological essentialism with cultural essentialism in an attempt to make the argument more palatable, but the racist/ xenophobic thru line is pretty apparent. It’s gross.

Terrible to see clash of civ logic guiding actual immigration policy in the US. Terrible

(Or, at least, we can’t tell from the screenshots whether she was affiliated with Harvard. If she was, then that could carry repercussions for his position. Which is why I’m asking.)

I don’t know that it’s worse… it’s all gross and wrong. And as someone pointed out in the Crimson article about this, not surprising— Summers told us who he is a long time ago. But these emails don’t tell us this was a student or junior colleague at Harvard. I’m wondering if that evidence exists.

Is there a source confirming this was a student? Could you share if so?

Executive can’t unilaterally impose tariffs, probably, but can tell people who they are meant to be. Something about government by, of, and for the economy, but certainly not the people

I would pay this billionaire money to give us all a break from his abuse of the bully pulpit.

This is key— didn’t the Panama papers show that the African continent would be a net creditor if not for all the offshoring that has taken place since the decolonial period?

The consensus is that it is hard, but the real trouble is that this is used as an argument not to try and learn to do it better. Curing cancer is hard too but we work on it daily. I think lifting people out of poverty is so incredibly important that failures should just encourage us to work harder.
