This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

The Stahl house is lovely and a house I know, maybe from Heat?

But yea, it makes a million euro terraced two bed in Dublin look like increasingly bad value.

Michael Sacasas is back on substack.

I really love his posts on technology and humanity. Highly recommend. - I can’t remember how I did it, but I can listen to them as a podcast too.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Keith Duggan is good on Musk’s American Dream to eliminate working

If Musk is right that work will soon be optional, Trump’s sales pitch to voters is doomed

The US president’s political renaissance was partly based on his ability to sell to Americans the vision of a returning blue-collar prosperity

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Hadn't clocked until this tweet that this is true of every defeated Labour government other than New Labour: more votes in defeat in 1951 than in victory in 1945, more in 1970 than in 1964. And frankly, whether they win or lose next time, would bet large amounts will get more votes than 2024.
Labour got more votes in 1979 then they did in Oct 1974.

Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

This (not from that piece) is one of those charts where I am completely aware of the data but my mental map of how the global economy works still almost refuses to update to the new reality. Because the pace of change has been so rapid.

US administration taunted an ally to fire a head of a public broadcaster and Semafor are like… “wow, you guys are bad at covering Trump…” - that’s not the story here.
