I’m pretty checked out of film culture so maybe I’m just missing it but is anybody watching train dreams? It’s easily one of the best American books this century and one of only a few films I’m gonna actually watch this Oscar cycle

fun to see JD Vance in here crying that democrats raised all the prices and it's unreasonable to expect them to fix it quickly when this asshole expressly promised lower grocery prices "day one"

There’s virtually no benefit to reading fiction other than seeing that every decade produces a book with this thesis
It’s become conventional wisdom that America’s young men are in crisis. The reality is more complicated than that. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/what-did-men-do-to-deserve-this?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=null
What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

It’s funny they’re running the “chart boys tell you how you actually feel” pitch to the American voter but with fake charts
Trump makes these baloney investment claims all the time (with help from collaborator corporations and authoritarian countries) but they don't work, even with media outlets readily repeating them. Polling on Trump and the economy continues to crater, net approval currently -25ish.
“.. Federal data shows corporate investment levels are roughly in line with last year, with companies on track to invest over $5 trillion in 2025. The $20 trillion surge Mr. Trump has claimed does not appear in the available data.”

FWIW part of the reason governors, police and state militia should actively block ICE / Border Patrol is that Americans will absolutely not support bloody civil conflict.
Even in the middle of J6 there was only one chud who was willing to die for him. Support is not that deep.

This makes me think about the picnickers who showed up from DC to watch the first battle of Bull Run, expecting a swift, entertaining defeat of the Confederacy. Nobody cheering for civil war has any idea how terrible it would be.

Who do betting markets have as the favorite for the next FIFA peace prize?
It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I don’t think we had assigned novels until high school. You did have to read so many books per quarter and pass tests out of a bank starting in 6th grade. Latter system was much better.
As a parent of a now middle-schooler, I'm really hoping and expecting that by the time she hits 8th grade she's reading novels in school. But that's not happening everywhere in D.C., as I learned from this informative op-ed in @51st.news: 51st.news/opinion-dcps...
Opinion: DCPS middle-schoolers should be reading novels
Many parents like myself were shocked by a recent change to the English curriculum at Alice Deal Middle School.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

The challenge is they aren’t getting that 30 bucks per person they’re just depleting their cash reserves
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
