What conservatives actually want is not the return of widespread industrial manual labor jobs — they want the return of Industrial Revolution era labor relations.
They want to employ children and hire Pinkertons to shoot union organizers

They don’t need to worry about that because they will be a subsidiary of Microsoft by then
Meanwhile, all they’ve accomplished as of late is absolutely fucking the market on RAM, which they’ve purchased entirely to hoard (not to use) as an anti-competitive measure against strengthening rivals

anyone who finds rfk jr. sexually appealing should be added to a publicly accessible registry
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When I think "where the vast majority of Americans actually are," I think about the millionaire lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein & Harvey Weinstein & Donald Trump who was recently in the news for threatening to sue a pierogi seller in Martha's Vineyard, where he has one of his homes.

I think that in some deep way the centre left actually agree with the right's characterisation of them, that's behind all the angsting about Professional Middle Classes contrasted with authentic true working people which always amounts to two right wing cariactures they just agree with.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

There is no other way to look at this than as a crisis imo
If you want to boil it down to politics, it’s also the foremost measure of “how am I doing financially” for the average person.

Right the dynamic here in San Diego is that you can live a perfectly normal middle-class life on $100k/year here... if you bought your house 15 years ago or otherwise have some sort of housing hookup like a subsidized BMR unit.
Other option is to live an hour+ away from where the jobs are

Even in San Diego, a family making 136k a year isn’t exactly working class, much less living in poverty! There are many, many people making much less than that
I usually at least mildly understand where Stancil is coming from, but this is a wild take
$136k for a family of four would only just make ends meet in San Diego. Perhaps not “poverty” status but def not “saving money for emergencies and taking fun vacations” status, either

I think that’s an area Bluesky could improve, as the existing blocklist structure is abuseable.
That being said it’s worked fairly consistently for me, I’m enjoying my experience and rarely need additional blocks

This is the winning take here
the best possible remake of Rogue One would be a third season of Andor which is just Rogue One
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)
