My twelve-year-old daughter's Christmas haul included a cassette Walkman and a Discman, and music to play on both.

Yes, part of it is STRANGER THINGS. But part of it is the seemingly inevitable swing towards throwback tech, coupled with the current longing to be LEFT ALONE TO LISTEN TO SHIT
I used to think that smartphones and streaming were a mistake because giving people the illusion of access to everything all of the time would break us irreparably, but this & returns to iPods, DVDs, records, etc prove that people just want to be people, not 24/7 consumers and marketing targets.

I see a lot of arguing on here and I just want to help out a bit: It’s possible to enjoy Marjorie Taylor Greene burning bridges with conservatives without also concluding that she is now a reformed progressive icon

The Trump Admin is wantonly abusing executive power & conducting warrantless spying.

But Congressmembers including Dan Goldman handed him the ability to do it by voting against a warrant requirement for using NSA surveillance of U.S. citizens last year.

New York Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman and others helped hand Trump warrantless spying powers. Now, that vote is an issue in their upcoming primaries.

If you have a billion dollars, you literally have enough money to never have to hear any criticism for the rest of your life. Just because they’re all addicted to going online and getting yelled at isn’t my fucking problem.
The perfect Yglesias post: declaring “billionaires are good, actually,” as if it was some bold, counterintuitive take.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

it’s crazy how obvious it is that donald trump has been actively part of the epstein coverup for half a decade now and he’s just still the president
Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

The It Can Happen Here podcast listed Car Dealerships, Supplement Salesmen, and MLM’s as the unholy power base trinity of the right (you can probably add Silicon Valley to this list too). If any of these were taxed, regulated or curtailed, it would save us all.

“The 10-year development plan, drafted by first son-in-law Jared Kushner…”
Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law, is described as an "investor" and "developer" in this project into which more than $91 bn in US taxpayer funds are to be channeled. This is a straightforward violation of US anti-corruption legislation, as the NYC bar has noted in a report.
