I think the writers should introduce a butler for Elon. We should have a man with dignity who does nothing but suffer under his buffoonery. It would really punch up the season if every time Elon said "Epic Bacon" expecting a laugh there was someone beside him making a subtle, but pained moan.

I really liked this! Never read Carrie but saw the movie fairly recently and it blew me away. I really related to some of Cynthia's anecdotes honestly

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

Every time someone posts an atrocity the US government is committing, some smug Canadian shows up to be like, "How are you surprised? Your country elected a Cheeto!!"

One of the sequelae to covid is MCAS, and one of the big symptoms of that is acquiring exciting new allergic reactions to random things.
You can suddenly behave allergic to deodorant, soap, wheat, chocolate, garlic, milk, cheese (and anything what contains histamines, such as leftovers), etc.

Does it hurt to get shot with a gun? The HHS has issued new guidance that it actually hurts more not getting shot with a gun. Health watchdogs warn that promoting getting shot with a gun will make more people get hurt from bullets, though the actual science is disputed by some researchers

One of the biggest impacts I’ve seen from the unproven idea that people are wrongfully using disability accommodations is that people stop trusting people with disabilities and in fact further restrict, remove, and demonize accommodations for people with disabilities in general

a lot of people's intuition is that intellectual errors lead to moral errors, and I think it is much more common that it is the other way around.

Real snapshot of the economy at large
Larger businesses with 50 or more employees reported a net gain of 90,000 workers.
But companies with fewer than 50 saw a decline of about 120,000.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Hillary Clinton tells a fascist newspaper’s conference that young American Jews are ignoramuses who should embrace violent ethno-nationalism
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
