No Democrat or Republican with such staggering economic ignorance should be allowed within miles of the Oval Office. It’s like the Surgeon General saying “surgery it just another word for murder”. It’s too bizarre to be just incompetent. Americans are forced to sit on this bus. No one is driving.
Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · last mo.I fear that people might be getting sick of hearing my views on the world. So this time, an open thread for econ faculty to grade this submission on the meaning of a trade deficit.
still one of the greatest conversations ever put on TV.
While struggling with the Reflecting Pool, Trump now takes his talents to aircraft carrier engineering.
Vets at the Cincinnati Animal CARE shelter in Ohio built a custom wheelchair with rulers, hot wheels and tape for this kitten with a spinal injury. Kitten's name is Gelato and he is doing just fine.
Cactile is a roof tile inspired by cacti that collects, filters, and stores rainwater. It can capture up to 96% of rainfall for later non-potable household uses while supporting sustainable water management practices.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.
A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family
Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.
I'm really not a political person. I mean I vote. But, I don't want to live my life checking news every 30-seconds to learn about politics. And that may be more than anything what I hate about Donald Trump the most. He shortens your life because you can't fucking live it.
Corruption hates daylight. The names of every single donor and the “benefits” they received since donating need to be brought to light.
You guys are doing great. Totally keeping Trump’s persistent health concerns out of the media! Keep it up. Nobody is on to you.
My quote of the day We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. Carl Sagan
I ain’t reading all that. Congrats, or I’m sorry that happened. But seriously… what the fuck is this. “Mandatorily requesting”? He’s a goddamn moron.
The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.
Melania Trump does not want you to share this photo. Whatever you do, do NOT share it.

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.
The impact of this isn't going to be limited to the gas pump. bsky.app/profile/hora...
Needed nature this AM amidst the insanity...beautiful things need to be shared now so we all remember what love is. 💜
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.
I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
People, I'm BEGGING you: If you are going to share that leaked 60 minutes segment, INCLUDE SOME COMMENTARY in your post that makes it necessary for readers to have access to the full video to understand the commentary. CBS has a deep black eye over this and the odds that they'll look to punish ppl
