This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

shohei's 10 strikeouts and moonshot home run distances were really just for style points. short of pitching a complete game he completely maxed out all channels through which he could deliver objective value, so he poured his leftover brilliance into knocking out side quests. it seems impossible

Q: Are you worried about extremist pro-Hitler sentiment among young Republicans?
JOHNSON: No. I don't know who any of these people are. I've never heard of them. Somebody posted a photo of me standing next to these guys wearing tuxedos. It was at the inauguration, people were coming up for selfies

This is the kind of stuff I can’t wrap my head around. The cultural whiplash that comes from no one knowing why they do what they do. Just finger to the wind, no moral compass, “the plebs will eat this up” bullshit.
One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

@cptowers.bsky.social wrt George Kirby, Mariners broadcast a few weeks ago asked pitching staff about his arm angle. They said when a pitcher has a shoulder injury, their arm angle changes. And never goes back. They basically learn to pitch with new angle. I’d never heard that stated before.

A reminder that PhD students are also teachers. It'll be much harder to run undergraduate programs too with this change.
Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew
Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.

Having flashbacks to Trump’s 2021 demand that a state official “find” missing votes, because the numbers weren’t in his favor.
This is what he expects of the BLS commissioner too: “find” missing jobs. He will try to appoint someone who does this bidding, unless GOP senators miraculously grow spines

An astonishing figure in this piece:
Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing.
This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers.
That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
