Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

“Businesses can’t take on the entire burden.” For a supposedly business friendly nation we ask businesses to do an awful lot of the work of society. Why does my employer need to manage my health insurance? Or my sick days?
Where’s the restroom? Minneapolis needs more answers
Businesses can’t take on the entire burden. The city must invest in a network of free, accessible and well-maintained public restrooms.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

If you want a takeaway from 2024 it’s that policy doesn’t matter and that the Democrats can win by promising to throw everyone Ross likes in jail for making the cost of groceries go up

I just remembered a very beautiful platformer I played a few years ago on Switch; Lost Words: Beyond the Page. If you like narrative games and puzzle platforming, might I suggest giving this one a go? It is beautiful too, from the art to the writing (the latter from none other than @rhi.bsky.social)

for them, the deal is that in exchange for aid, they're owed a proper performance of poverty and humility that reinforces their superior position in the social hierarchy, and anything as small a preferring a condiment above one's station is an unacceptable act of defiance

Every one of these I read is better than the last. Even if you Hate apples (who?) read this one for the description of the American supermarket experience.
Today's apple review jumps back into the land of grocery store apples with the OPAL. And tomorrow, I hear a certain cosmically-inclined apple gets its time in the sun.

Hope you're enjoying these apple reviews. They offer me a moment's meditation away from *gesticulates crudely in every direction*.
Apple Review #30: Opal
I don’t care much for grocery store apples, but I do love me a good grocery store. I recall in reading White Noise way back in the day, that Don DeLillo captured the sort of overwhelming sens…

"Only billionaires should pay higher taxes" discourse is downstream from a general belief that policy change need not involve tradeoffs, and that the very existence of tradeoffs is an automatic dealbreaker. My run-ins with people who hold this view are what will finally cause my psychotic break.

Banging this drum again but I think this is another symptom of how the left sub-contracted out so much of thinking and morality to libertarianism
"leftwing" people who hate taxes should be punted deep underground, you are a waste of space without a single iota of exaggeration
