I had dengue as a child and it was the worst thing I've ever endured. My mom caught West Nile a couple years before the pandemic and said it was worse than cancer (she's a 3 time survivor)

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 17h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
I'm not 100% sold on El-Sayed but if you think AIPAC was gonna drop another $30 million helping the other Democrat beat an actual Republican in November

If Haley Stevens wasn’t such a freak about Israel she might have won. All of the issue polling tells us Democratic primary voters have strong negative opinions about it, but that it’s not their number one concern. It’s literally something that helps you at the margins, and here the margin was 1%!
aww did someone get addicted to corruption and graft!!!!

Rents create their own political constituency is such a hard thing to unsee once noticed.
This is the closest thing to a "one weird trick" I learned in grad school and you should keep it in mind for almost every question of economics

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · yesterdayEven healthcare is kind of a complicated case. In the past you were paying for treatments that didn't work, or sometimes not paying because no treatment was available. Yes, treating cancer costs a fortune... but fifty years ago, a lot of the time, the treatment plan was "wait for death"

Shortages, plural. We already have one in Puerto Rico. Climate change hasn't, and won't, hit every place the same way at the same time

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
The truth is that absent heavy algorithmic moderation, every text-based social media network will be overwhelmingly liberal because conservatives can't read 🤷🏾

This is a great point. We describe monopolies as creating deadweight loss with low quantities but the same story could create lower quality
Plain Simple Natalie 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🦀@nattygo.me · 2d agoThe consolidation of retail is also a big part of the story You have so few options now when it comes to where to shop that you're not necessarily going to give up on Amazon or Target or Wal-Mart just because they stock shoddy products
Hmm so do I believe the team of credentialed researchers or the guys behind the in season tournament hmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔

New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop. Where's your worried op-ed on that one?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

not sure if it's good or bad that the dsa, which until 5 months ago was a book club for underemployed grad students, is beating to a pulp the billion dollar harvard educated democrat operative janissary class with 5 shitty flyers and some twitch streams
I invite anyone who mocks "email jobs" to go ahead and see how many simple wooden chairs or whatever you can build and sell before you have to hire someone that does nothing but send emails for a living. It's not a big number!
Joel@snufkinlib.bsky.social · 3d agoPeople mock email jobs as if “scribe” isn’t one of the very oldest jobs. If you write correspondence for a living, you’re a scribe just like in Egypt
I think this thread is basically what I believed when I began covering the consumer system and while a lot of what Nathan is describing is factually correct as to the mechanisms by which the system itself works, I’ve eventually had to admit that a lot of people also do just love cheap bullshit
Nathan Tankus@nathantankus.bsky.social · 3d agoI think this is fundamentally wrong but in an interesting way I will need to write about sometime. The key is a) consumers do not choose what is produced, or how, they choose between what is produced. This is a crucial difference
Taking Emirati blood money to fund your comfortable jobless DMV lifestyle in between Democratic presidencies: good liberalism, moderate, pragmatic Being an Arab doctor who goes to the gym AND the Masjid: intolerable authoritarianism, anti-American, pie in the sky, unprofessional
Travis@someforeignfield.bsky.social · 3d agoIt's considered bipartisan business as usual to treat the UAE as a good and trusted ally. Courting them and taking their blood money does not count as "authoritarian apologism" but God forbid you post something about Chinese trains
