People aren't struggling, they are experimenting with frugality! 🧑‍🔬🔬🧪

WSJ standfirst reads "From buying half a cow to watering down soap, people are experimenting with frugality-and it is affecting sales at consumer companies"

it's funny everytime we hear "dems should focus more on economic issues" it's never "we should improve universal provisioning" but rather "how do we do another means tested program" among a certain type of wonk

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

AH! Y no olvidemos de la obligatoriedad de saber conducir y tener coche. Si no tienes dinero/capacidad para sacarte el carnet y/o dinero para mantener un coche con su seguro, sus reparaciones y sus impuestos, estás jodidísimo. Si eres de Salamanca y te mandan a un pueblo de Palencia pues a llorar.

En realidad, es una pinza perfecta: la derecha "liberal" destruye los servicios públicos, empobrece a la población, le bloquea el acceso a la vivienda, etc., y la derecha religiosa ofrece una especie de Paraíso de salvación en el que sentirse acogido y protegido.

Semafor newsletter via @willsommer.bsky.social. I have expired. I am deceased.

Washington Post CEO Will Lewis has largely stayed out of the public eye as the paper has scaled back its staff and altered the direction of its opinion page. But that hasn't stopped him from recruiting. In recent months, Lewis attempted to hire the Free Press reporter Olivia Reingold, two people familiar with the situation told Semafor, an idea that he discussed with owner Jeff Bezos, who supported the move. The idea was for Reingold to serve as one of the first new faces in the paper's overhauled opinion section, with Bezos' new focus on free markets and personal liberties. The attempt to hire Reingold to create written and video opinion content is part of the Post's push to make the paper's journalists engage in different mediums; the paper announced earlier this year that it was launching a creator network and hiring staff to create more personality-driven content. Reingold declined to comment; a spokesperson for the Post said the paper doesn't comment on hiring discussions.

Former British Prime Minister Theresa May laid into her own political party last night, accusing it of taking a populist tilt to the right that risks emboldening Nigel Farage.

Theresa May accuses Tories of ‘chasing votes’ from Farage’s Reform

Former British PM says Tory pledges to roll back climate reforms are an “extreme and unnecessary measure.”

En UK han tenido hasta ahora la increíble suerte de que Farage es uno de los individuos más incapaces de armar un partido estable sobre la faz de Europa. Igual compiten en su misma categoría el tipo de FvD, Your Party *(placeholder name, t&c apply) y grupúsculos trotskistas.

Right wingers losing their shit over the fact that the Green Party has a Jewish leader and a Muslim deputy leader, assuming they should really be at their throats.

Cartoon Meme. top panel: 2 red buttons with a finger hovering over. one button says "Antisemitism", the other "Islamophobia". Bottom panel: a carton character wiping their face, beads of sweat, stressed about making a decision. caption "British right wingers when they find out who is Green Party Leadership."

Typical argumentation in which Taiwanese have no agency or are depicted as fundamentally irrational in wanting to survive and only Americans and Chinese are platformed as logical and rational. Disgraceful in the year 2025 from Time
