as a moderate i am willing to compromise on the issue of whether there should be a trial
Honestly I'm very willing to be a single issue voter where my single issue is "show trial for Miller"

The US federal government is openly warring against its own nonwhite population in a way no one alive has ever experienced. It’s not even getting to hide it. The overt bigotry is comparable to Jim Crow. And our pathetic, cowed, putrid political class just keeps pretending it isn’t even happening.

wait someone pointed out that the authors of this graph are using pre-transfer income for the US but post-transfer consumption for China

that's even more misleading than the stupid Y-axis shit
graph crime aside, i'm super curious about who this 1% of Americans that are supposedly living on <$3 a day; that's over three million people

This is a 💯 true statement
Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

THE MAN IN THE RIVER

Once there was a wise man, who travelled to strange lands, and as he travelled, he came to the bank of a winding river. Edging the bank were houses, set at distances from one another. The wise man walked upstream, watching the slow current carry leaves and twigs past him.

Muscle is good for you
NEW: More questions about the long-term effects of GLP-1 weight loss drugs as new research finds people with higher muscle mass showed less brain ageing.

Many users of GLP-1s such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro shed muscle mass at the same time as they lose fat.

If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic

That third thing is unsustainable long-term
