Never underestimate the power of freshwater mussels. 💪🏼

It's amazing how the Financial Times is now significantly to the left of The New York Times and The New Yorker. The latter continue to beat the drum about how the stupidity and racism of the poors is the problem, while the FT keeps saying...it's the political economy, stupid!

Democrats asking for money to pay off their $20M campaign debt is like being asked to pay for your deadbeat dad's funeral

I will repeat this line forever, but the people who manage money actually need accurate information to operate and make decisions on which is why the financial (and, in specific niches, trade) press remain the most accurate sources of information

MahliaLone The key is to trust each source only on the subjects they're known for and specialize in; FT's AI coverage, for example, is broadly bullshit

Jacob N. Kornbluh It’s common knowledge he’s very well paid to say this stuff

It does NOT matter how LOW unemployment is if those jobs DO NOT PAY THE RENT!

This is such a crucial and often neglected point: What good is low unemployment when workers are one paycheck away from homelessness? x.com/thrasherxy/sta…

Absolutely extraordinary "saying the quiet part out loud" moment. Remember Thierry Breton, who until recently was one of the top EU officials? He just admitted on French TV that before Trump’s election, in the EU institutions they had “absolutely no right to speak” about

James Rosen-Birch ⚖️🕊️ That's also why actuaries and those in insurances (car/life/home...) are tracking things like covid, and climate changes. Risk assessment isn't a field where you can close your eyes to reality.

Bernie Sanders talking big for someone who is going to inevitably endorse Pete Buttigieg in 2028

1) You can't outrun the right on immigration and in fact it's bad politics to try and attempt it 2) the problem with prosecutions of Trump is that they didn't happen in 2021; healthy democracies arrest former presidents for crimes! 3) Trump's entire campaign was identity politics

Armand Domalewski My bad. 65% of Americans told CNBC in April that they are living paycheck to paycheck. But keep telling them they're wrong. I'm sure that will lead to electoral success...

You know what's even more frustrating? When 65% of Americans tell CNBC they are living paycheck to paycheck this year, the first thing neoliberals choose to do is to tell them they're wrong, they've actually never had it so good instead of taking on the forces of corporate greed.

Armand Domalewski Food Bank usage in my deep blue northern state is the highest it's EVER been since records were kept, and it's showing a stark increase in areas and demographics that previously didn't take much food assistance. Maybe, just fucking maybe, you lost because you can't reconcile this

Will Stancil got paid.

im genuinely good at knowing something is bait but WB is so fucked up i really thought they stepped this low 💀
