I’m no economist, but inflation has fallen quite a bit since 2022. Inflation and prices are different measures that the public has a very hard time disambiguating, and news organizations ought to help on this point, not make things worse.
Somewhere a Google Maps SVP is breaking out in a cold sweat.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2mo agobtw, @whstancil.bsky.social and I have kissed and made up. We're all gonna have to if we wanna get out of this mess. Also word to the wise: apparently don't shipost about data centers in the one free hour you've accumulated this week.
I hope like hell that defeating Susan Collins is the only news this guy makes from here on out.

I’m snipping this for the next time some Harris hater snidely tells me the 2024 election was obviously “winnable”. Many people in this country might as well live in an alternate reality that is practically untouchable by messaging, at least until they are yanked back into the real world by events.

what if the way white dudes who’ve seen the light prove they’ve seen the light by *not* running for senate mere moments after they’ve allegedly seen the light
How do the news orgs feel about their precious airtime being co-opted for the emotional regulation of the man-baby President like this?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoHassett, lying his ass off, claims Trump's Iran war hasn't actually hurt the economy: "It's just not there in the data, except for the consumer sentiment data, but actually I think we should stop calling it 'consumer sentiment' & start calling it 'political sentiment' because it's really political."

This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators -- yes -- by elected members of the Democrat Party, and even some in the media."
This is murder.

My only memory of Walker Texas Ranger (other than the theme song which is etched in my brain after hearing it maybe twice) is the episode in which the show does outright apologia for cockfighting on cultural heritage grounds.
I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoQ: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this? TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.
Trump's trying to find the guy who did this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoTrump: "If we didn't do what we're doing right now, you would've had a nuclear war and they would've taken out many countries. Because you know what? They're sick people. They're mentally ill sick people. They're angry. They're crazy. They're sick. Thank you very much. Thank you very much everybody"
