Not quite your point (there will always be a new one), but the most recent time she said this phrase was about facebook

land grant universities funded by federal land sales, sea grant universities initially planned to be funded by offshore leases, space grant universities funded by...uh... selling moon parcels, and sun grant universities funded installing sun blockers and making farms pay to get unblocked

[[Vlad and Teodor are talking in Vlad's Subway Resturaunt. Vlad is behind the counter, wearing a black hat]] Teodor: What if Jared died in a different way in each new commercial? Vlad: Is good! Is good, Teodor! I like this! Teodor: So...do you have other ideas about how you'd want Jared to die? Vlad: Well, obviously one idea is that he is showink off old pants of his, when wind catches them and carries him into power lines. ... Is perhaps most basic idea. Teodor: Good! What else? [[Vlad hands Teodor a sheet of paper]] Vlad: Here, why don't you just look a brainstorm sheet. [[Brainstorm sheet fills panel]] PAGE 1 WIFE OF JARED'S NEIGHBOR IS PREGNANT.

I haven't heard anyone mention A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible in years, but there are so many incredible strips here like this one www.alessonislearned.com/index.php?co...
Comic strip: - **Panel1**: A blue character carries a woman on the phone to Dale saying: "My new boyfriend is made of Ethereal Flame." **Panel2**: Dale shouts "THAT BITCH!" while holding a gasoline can, yelling, "I’LL SHOW HER!"- **Panel3**: Dale lights himself on fire shouting "FUCK YOU WORLD" **Panel4**Dale finds himself in a room with another man. "YOU’RE THAT MONK FROM VIETNAM!" Monk: "THIS DIMENSION YOU CAN ONLY ACCESS THROUGH SELF-IMMOLATION...THIS WORLD CONTAINS NOTHING MORE THAN TWO ORANGES RESTING IN A BOWL BY AN OPEN WINDOW. FEEL FREE TO CONTEMPLATE THEM"- - **Panel5**: A character speaks to mourners at a funeral: "AND NOW, AS EXPRESSED IN HIS WILL, ALL THE PORN ON DALE’S COMPUTER WILL BE SHOWN TO THE MOURNERS."- **Panel6**: Back in the room with oranges, the man eats an orange, saying "OH MY GOD... IT’S SO JUICY."

My first time seeing this tag from the @urbanism.plus labeler in the wild. Probably means that on top of wanting people in office, they want them to drive alone to work on their commute.
Aufootballsucks12 is labeled with "Carbrain" from the urbanism+ labeler.

The best solution to someone without a house is to house them. In the meanwhile: give them shelter! It reduces crime and ER visits, but you need to give people homes to keep them out of homelessness #urbanism #losangeles #housing www.nber.org/system/files...

Justin Wolfers has some good takes on things in his wheelhouse, but like many people in my field (economics), he's happy to pundit outside his lane uncritically. Three counterpoints in the quote post below
Screenshot of a social media post titled "Justin Wolfers' AI Debate Positions." The text reads: "There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI. 1. I've barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks. 2. I've invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it's transformational. Position #1 has lower barriers to entry."

Screenshot of Joe'w bandcamp collection. The one album marked new is (all caps) "Fuck Omar-S" by DJ Problems. Cover is a realistic video game dude (or a real dude meant to look video gamey) with a gun with fires and such behind him.

Pew report was published last month but is based on a June survey. Romance survey doesn't specify timing details or really anything beyond the following:
Methodology We surveyed 1,012 adults living in the United States about their interactions and relationships with artificial intelligence systems and computer systems. We used the Surveymonkey audience census balancing to ensure an even representation of adults from across the nation, age groups, income ranges, and other factors. Our team examined survey data for signs of bad responses including incomplete responses or open answer responses signifying they took the survey in bad faith and removed any such responses. This study has a margin of error of 3.08% at a 95% confidence level.

COMPARING WITH THE CONSUMER EXPENDITURE SURVEY While our estimates of personal outlays are frequently compared with those from the Consumer Expenditure Survey, key differences arise due to methodology, data sources and definitional scope. The CES relies on consumer surveys, which are subject to errors from respondents’ inaccurate recall or reluctance to report some spending. By contrast, our estimate of personal outlays is derived from asset and liability flows in the Financial Accounts, avoiding these survey-related biases. There are also several significant definitional differences. The CES measures consumer expenditures, whereas our estimates follow the BEA’s definition of personal outlays. Personal outlays include, in addition to consumer spending, interest payments on consumer installment debt and transfers such as donations. Moreover, healthcare expenditures differ meaningfully between the two datasets. The CES captures only out-of-pocket payments for health insurance and medical costs, whereas the BEA measure includes total medical spending, regardless of whether it is paid out-of-pocket, by insurance, or provided for free. Housing expenses are also measured differently: The CES records actual rent payments and homeownership costs, while the BEA approach measures owners’ equivalent rent, which assumes homeowners pay themselves rent. The cost of financial services and other spending categories also differs across datasets. As a result of these methodological and definitional differences, CES estimates of consumer expenditures by demographic group may not align with our estimates of personal outlays. However, these discrepancies primarily reflect differences in measurement approaches rather than inconsistencies in economic trends.

The main answer? Wages and income did not keep up with inflation. The second order answer? Covid era stimulus policies continued to expire under Biden due to conservative dems in the Senate. (The 2021 peak in real disposable income was supported by Covid stimulus!).
Graph showing real median household income, real median wages, and real disposable income per capita indexed to 2019. Data shows 2024 median wages are 2.8% higher than in 2019. 2024 median household income is only slightly above the 2019 peak. Disposable income per capita in 2024 is only slightly above the 2021 peak.

Manhattan Institute's Charles Lehman on twitter: The Trump administration's deportation agenda has been messy. In @CityJournal, @DanielDiMartino and I argue that this is downstream of a lack of system capacity to meet the president's democratic mandate. Our solution? Deportation abundance.
