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.

Good example of how much of a hack Oren Cass is—on April 2nd he had *the White House* publish his praise for Trump's tariffs, and now suddenly those tariffs were "haphazard", created "heightened uncertainty", and have "needlessly antagonized Allies"

"Nobody will do that though." Oh I guess there's nothing to be done, then. Very convenient if what you'd like is to avoid having to do anything.
I've noticed "we're cooked, it's over" is often the call of the person whose strategy is to hope they will not be in the oven.

"OK but what is your PLAN?" Bish I am sitting at the back of this plane. I'm just willing to point out that the driver is gargling everclear and flying directly at the ground while reading a book titled HOW TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO THE GROUND.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Watching this for my own #CivilGoreHMC9 now. Been on my list for a while. Is it weird that I understood everything uncle anwar said and where the writers heard those words? Immediately my mind of jam.
That was Troma levels of 80's bonkers enjoyment! Crazy practical effects, eyeball brain in a jar, cannibalism, bad dubbing, great music, ancient cult shanigans. This sucker was off the chain nuts!
It was kind of fantastic!

One Battle After Another is the best movie of 2025 and the best movie about things in 2025 while not being set in 2025 so far. The marketing sucks because the people selling it are cowards.
