A nice article from @emilystewart.bsky.social about the middleman economy.

America's economy is getting swallowed up by middlemen — and it's driving people crazy
The real winners in today's economy are the middlemen — rich intermediary companies like Walmart, Airbnb, and Lyft that connect buyers and sellers.

The professional leagues adopted sports betting because ticket prices were too high and they weren't getting money from an entire class of workers. Sports betting allows the league to get money from the most impoverished.

I've been thinking that expanding the diagnosis of autism was having the effect of marginalizing people with severe autism. So I was glad to hear people discussing this issue on The Daily on NPR today. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/p...

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court
It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all
One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The reason people may like learning about stuff on YouTube more than in school is because they only have to learn it trivially from YouTube. There's no expectation to learn anything deeply, you won't be tested on it, it's just fun trivia.
