aww, they'll just have to live their lives under a power structure they can't control, except in their capacity as individual voting citizens. what a bummer

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterday

New 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.

people say bluesky is an echo chamber, but in my experience you can find any opinion here as long as it's on the spectrum between "the troops deserve healthcare before any damn cheeto" and "let's be honest, you gotta hand it to OBL"

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Bizarre decision here to keep referencing "Judeo-Christian ethics" when, at a minimum, the moral values of reciprocity and compassion towards the outsider/stranger are shared between all the Abrahamic religions

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Christopher Nolan’s central trick in “The Odyssey” is smuggling the core of Judeo-Christian ethics into the center of an ancient Greek epic, our columnist Ezra Klein writes.

Normalization has also always been sold as a way to be in the US’s good graces. Far less clear now that will continue to be true

The largest, most developed and dynamic Arab country has over the process of roughly 50 years of accommodating and normalizing with Israel turned into an utterly humiliated beggar state. Should be a cautionary tale for countries with far lower prospects of reaping any positives from normalization.
