Also a botched use of a Billy Madison quote. Here's a gif

I suggest someone make a graphic of criminal charges, convictions, and allegations by political affiliation.

I'd bet it's just like the right v. left political violence comparison.

Why does the press believe elected officials are entitled to blatantly lie without being called out?

It's spineless.

Another year, another Nobel Prize-winner in economics whose work concerns how governments around the world should approach the transition to clean energy.

Here's @zeitlin.bsky.social on Philippe Aghion — and his low-key difference of opinion with William Nordhaus:

The Latest Nobel Winner Thinks ‘Creative Destruction’ Can Stop Climate Change

Economist Philippe Aghion views carbon taxes as a tool to decarbonize, but not a solution in themselves.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

He's either the most incompetent and underqualified Speaker of the House, or lying.

We are in a recession, by the way. A bad one. Prices are way up. People can't find jobs.

I am plugged into this in a very real way. The stock market is just not important unless you are in the top 10%/1%.

I have not seen a labor market this bad since 2008. The 2nd Great Depression is coming.
