Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Here’s Some Stupid To Start Your Day

The Miracle of The Orange 🤡 Economy I forgot about Lord Damp Nut’s decree that as of today, interest rates on credit cards will be limited to 10%! To hell with the expense, I’m giving the canary an extra seed today!

A pet cow named Veronika can scratch her back with a broom, the first scientifically documented case of tool use in cows.

“Perhaps the absurd thing was not the absurdity of a cow using tools," one researcher said, "but the absurdity of us never thinking that a cow might be intelligent.”

Precisely the conduct that a federal judge held to be illegal on Friday, and which ICE continues, oblivious to the federal court order. This is a lawless organization.
It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I'm surprised that my assessment of conservatism has come back around to the one I held at 17 but then conservatism has become every bit as nakedly horrific as I thought it was then. (To be clear I was never a fan but I did question my instinctive hatred in the interim, as I do with everything)

25ish to 35ish "I disagree with conservatism, but they probably have some valid points and deserve hearing for balance".
Last decade, "Tories are all just evil bastard shits."

I went through roughly this exact evolution, right down to the age ranges. I've never been a conservative, but I went through a stretch of thinking "we should mine conservatism for its handful of good ideas." Now as a bitter old man I think conservatism's one good idea is "Buy up all the media."

One time Redshirts was optioned at FX and then The Orville was announced, and that was it for Redshirts at FX; Later Redshirts was optioned by Fuzzy Door Productions, the company that made, you guessed it, The Orville.
