US corporate profits have hit a record high while employees’ share has fallen to 60 per cent, the lowest since the 1950s. "The gains that the top is seeing far, far, far outpace the gains — if any — that the bottom is seeing," says a policy adviser. Read the story on #FTEdit 👉 ft.trib.al/0AG2YAu

Whenever I see a poll like this I always like to remind people that approval for interracial marriage in the US did not cross the 50% mark until 1994, when I was already in my twenties.

When Amadeus first transferred from London to Broadway in 1980 the Broadway production starred Tim Curry as Mozart and Ian McKellen as Salieri and I would like to go back in time and watch that.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

Meghan McCain publicly disclosed she had a miscarriage in July 2019, a year before the pandemic. She gave birth to her first child in September 2020, meaning she became pregnant roughly around Dec '19 - Jan '20, at least a month before lockdown. What a horrific and insane thing to lie about.

“the democratic socialist wave cannot reach beyond urban centers” is very funny when Crowley won Milwaukee and Hong won Eau Claire, LaCrosse, Wausau, and the Fox Valley.

The first law of American politics is that pundits will draw sweeping conclusions from a single, narrowly decided result. A race decided by less than 0.5 percent of votes cast: had it gone the other direction, the headlines would be about the unstoppable force of progressive candidates.

David Frum seems to be under the impression that Zohran Mamdani— an INDIAN-Ugandan-American— is pro Pakistan? Also the Indian army in question was backed by the USSR and the Pakistani one was backed by Nixon lol.

Last night I dreamt I was Detective Poirot and a posh Victorian widow came to me and said "help, someone has stolen my late husband's collection of slop"

I grant everyone has their story to offer, but it is a tell that The Atlantic published a feature length essay about quitting a prestigious academic career over “woke” colleagues when whole fields of study on race & gender are being closed, & the humanities are threatened by Trump w total erasure

It's hard to not have noticed that a key enabler of U.S. authoritarianism was our consolidated corporate media, which (with scattered exception) was more than happy to throw the entirety of journalistic integrity in the toilet for a chance to please a mad, idiot king. In large part because our press is increasingly owned by...

The most unrealistic part of Indiana Jones 4, a movie in which Soviet spies tries to discover alien life, is that he says "I like Ike" at one point. He's a professor of archeology at a liberal arts university, that man voted Adlai Stevenson twice and cried when he wasn't nominated a third time.

remember when Jeb! mailed every voter in New Hampshire a tablet because it was clear they were gonna lose and they needed to burn through all of the money they had amassed in anticipation of being in the general election? was there any follow up a couple years later to see what happened with those?

If you are outraged that Gillibrand is so openly corrupt, tell her. ☎️: (202) 224-4451 Gillibrand has no business abusing her position of power like this. She should resign. NY deserves better. @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

Sen. Gillibrand is shepherding a crypto giveaway bill through Congress while her son-who just graduated college! - gets a massive $$ infusion from the crypto industry. How on earth can Dems run as the anti-corruption party while accepting open graft in their leadership? www.axios.com/2026/07/22/c...

Only the simplest necessities—bread, drinks, snacks, cigarettes and alcohol—can be sold on Sundays in Germany. But the century-old shopping ban might soon come to an end.
