Yeah, econ gets shit on a lot but I have become pretty radicalized in the importance of economic history. Labor history, especially.
Almost no STEM graduate of my acquaintance was taught basic concepts of labor supply and demand, empirical organizational dynamics, or recent economic history, making them enormously vulnerable in their professional lives. This is disciplinary arrogance but it serves external interests as well. 2/2

I’m thankful for my family, $tokenError:invalidMatrix, and being able to generate potential Thanksgiving conversations ahead of time so I can rehearse. It’s not just Turkey Day — it’s an opportunity for optimized discussions without the awkward moments. Thanks OpenAI!

It’s interesting to remember that hotels used to offer porn on their internal on-demand networks. Who curated these libraries? What parameters were used when selecting titles? When did they decide it was time to update their selection? We still have so much to learn from our ancestors.

And to be clear, I am not saying Republicans engaged in a false flag here - I'm saying that Republicans have little incentive to prevent terrorist attacks, because any terrorist attack creates a world of terrorist violence that terrorist organizations like the Republican party wish to create.

Republicans are purposely and strategically incompetent on antiterror; they hope for violent attacks they can frame as terrorist, to justify accelerating the terrorist violence they’re already enacting against the US civilian population.
2/ nor can we forget Thomas Fugate, the 22 year old Trump campaign worked appointed as the lead counter terrorism coordinator at DHS.

The fun part is that if you listen to the papers’ politics podcasts, they all understand we’re fucked because we’re paying a gajillion pounds a year to compensate for decades of lunatic refusal to invest in improvements. But then you turn on your radio and it is mostly this shit, wall to wall.

Nope, we can’t now go back to “just reporting news”, because of the huge number of MP and journalists who spent the last decade angrily explaining that the Labour Party is rammed with self-indulgent wankers who disastrously want to ensure children are fed, to show off how pure and virtuous they are.

This really needs emphasizing. The entirety of the UK media ecosystem is utterly fixated on a 100% fabricated "crisis".
Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.
Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

This sector continues to grow, and in the first three quarters of 2025, exports totalled US$11.7 billion, a 10% increase from the corresponding period in 2024.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

In 2012, a Conservative government awarded April Ashley, a trans woman, an MBE for "services to trans equality".
How far are we from a Labour government revoking that award, because trans people don't deserve equality?
