It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

The cure to the male loneliness epidemic™️ is to recruit 10 friends and acquaintances to your plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously, both to enrich yourself and to get one over on the guy who's with your ex-wife. Think of the opportunities for male bonding!

I love how study after study after study shows that simply giving people financial stability and free time with no strings attached leads to better outcomes for *everybody*, and yet society keeps rejecting that solution by saying, "But then how would poor people know to be ashamed of themselves???"
Thousands of workers tried a 4-day week, and their mental and physical health improved.
A study tracked 2,896 workers across 141 organizations for six months.
Reducing the work week by 8 hours led to better physical and mental health, with no loss of productivity.

Thousands of workers tried a 4-day week—the impact on their health was clea
Employees whose working weeks were cut by eight hours or more—while retaining the same salary—saw the most changes.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.
Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

There’s a line for metrocards this morning because one of the two machines was replaced by an OMNY machine that says it’s coming soon. Why not replace it when it’s actually working?

Maine Sea Grant generates $15 in income for every dollar spent.
And that’s what the “treat government like a business” people never seem to want to admit. The ROI of federal funding is beyond anything any corporation could ever dream of. It just doesn’t end up in their pockets.
