This is incredible. It provided explanations for the vibes that everyone feels about the economy.
Also, very bleak. A real indication of why America is a far worse place to live than a lot of other places.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Are we going to go to war with france? That would be so cool, I can't wait for us to get our asses kicked by the French, which would be embarrassing in the funniest way.

The convincing stance here is to be honest. We're we're talking about high school sports we're talking about children. We're talking about a 14 year old who wants to play soccer with her friends.
Framing it like that, making it real, makes it clear who is irredeemably evil.

it’s also a thing where people can be convinced. the right got some people worked up about trans women in sports but possible to get people a lot more worked up about individual/parental rights, genital inspectors, etc
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

I've had Cosmonauts by Fiona Apple stuck in my head so I through This is 40 on while working out.
This movie is very upsetting. When it came out I was no where near 40. Now I'm closer to 40 than 30. This is evil. Time is evil.

The fun thing about Bsky being completely overrun with Libs is I get to see the most vile dems all the time.
Saw a thread about some intersection of "Mamadani bad" and "people owed Kamala more support" that was dripping in the most vile anti-muslim bigotry.
It affirms views that these people suck.

This shit is so funny to me. Junior engineers have always been a bit of an organizational sink. The point is that you're growing them into seniors.
Yes, they can't self set direction yet, but they will someday.
Amazon is betting on other companies growing new seniors for them, it's a bad bet.

WARN filings expose 4.7k of Amazon's 14k cuts last month. 500 PMs were laid off while engineers (1,800 laid off) were hit hardest, mostly SDE IIs which refutes the "management bloat" narrative.
The trend is clear: Big Tech continues to purge junior roles due to "AI efficiency gains."

Amazon cut more than 1,800 engineers in record layoffs, despite saying it needs to innovate faster
Nearly 40% of the roughly 4,700 positions Amazon eliminated across Washington, New York, New Jersey and California were engineering jobs.

The people who voted for this deserve to suffer.
I'm sorry, I don't do this "we need to heal the nation" shit. Republican voters are fascists, they knew this would happen, it was Trump's top line issue, every one of them, deserves to starve.

I enjoyed Dispatch, but I think it faltered by leaning into "we're a fucked up family" vs "we should try to do good, even when we fuck up".
The first is pretty tired, and old, but the second is more meaningful in the current day.

Watching this now, went in with this slight spoiler and she's so right. It's absolutely a sobriety movie.
It's also the most stunning takedown of masculinity I've seen in quite a while. So many scenes are a man trying to stifle cries for help the second another man walks in the room.
Shit rocks.

Airports are purgatory. Nothing matters. Do whatever you want as long as you don't bother others. Drink at 6am. Wear sweatpants. Ugly cry in the corner. It's all fine.

Mamdani is deeply charismatic. He can wrap trump around his finger.
Also, he's a mad.
I wonder if other mayors could do this or if someone like Katie Wilson would just get treated like shit because Trump is a huge bigot.

With the caveat that I haven't looked at or done deep thinking about the data or analysis -- I think this does a better job explaining Trump than almost anything.
Most Americans prioritize their own financial well being above all else. Trump was very good at speaking to that.

Good morning. I've got a banger new post out today that develops a new method for placing voters on the left-right ideological spectrum, and adds a new, "non-ideological"/affordability axis to usual way we chart & think about US voters (esp swing voters). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...
Not just left vs right: Most voters think about affordability and material wellbeing, not in ideological terms
Most voters want a party that emphasizes cost of living issues and makes the world a better place. Few Americans think in solidly ideologically terms. "Moderates" are mostly non-ideological.
