Manufacturing is STARVING for early-in-career talent.

GOLDMAN has some tough words about the young college-grad unemployment rate rising to 8.5%. 👀
“.. A further deterioration in employment opportunities .. perhaps reflecting AI and other efficiency-enhancing measures .. could have a disproportionate negative impact on consumer spending ..”

And I’ll add, had the Beatles not broken up, and went into the 1970s with Billy Preston, they would’ve reached new musical heights.
The way Paul, George, and Preston play together on Let It Be is so damn underrated.
Paul, especially, cooks on the whole album.

As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

Since 95% of the country hasn’t watched Ohio State, beyond the numbers, the execution from play to play on both sides of the both is insanely good.
Ohio State is allowing an average of 7.5 points per game. That's insane.
Who have they played? It depends on how you feel about: Texas (14-7), Illinois (34-16), and Penn State (38-14).
They beat Washington by 18, Illinois by 18, and everything else has been by over 21.

Israeli nationalists have long been able to depend on a mainstream presumption of virtue for any actions that Israel takes. It has seemed, perhaps, like an inexhaustible line of credit. Well, party's over, guys! Israel blew it!

People accuse Trump of doing the Israelis’ bidding. Not true. At all.
Why?
Because Israel *is* democratic government. Netanyahu (or any PM) cannot unilaterally stuff Trump’s pockets the way MbS, the Qataris, and the Emiratis can.
And THAT is what should concern Americans.

If you knew about this upper middle class suburban boy cosplaying as a revolutionary (like most cosplaying revolutionary white boys) before today, he wouldn't be news to you.

So @50501movement.bsky.social is circulating a video of a guy saying candidates "are being paid to be Israel first, to be loyal to the Zionist project and not to their constituents, not to the American people." Which is just a hairs breadth away from saying "Zionist Occupied Government." Not great!

Either he's being illegally monitored and/or getting NARC'd on by ... somebody, right?

While not new in Russian statecraft, this theory became achievable in the social media era.
Too many Americans have consumed Russian agitprop from myriad sources, notably since 2015 and the start of Trump’s political life.
This digital incitement has metastasized into darker and darker rhetoric.
