Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

No matter how much you like Harry Potter or how nostalgic you are for the years you first read the series, you wouldn't be so precious about it if you had other cherished books to fill that void. I know too many people who read Harry Potter every year and nothing else.

I try to maintain the sunny outlook of an early 90's sitcom, but as society unwinds I can feel it degrading into the cynical angst of a mid-90's rock band. It's a real Jimmy Eat World-eat-Boy Meets World world out there.

It’s important to note that both the domestic and global macroeconomic outlook have worsened since the withering of Budget 1.0 and Budget 2.0 on the political vines. The bottom line is that South Africa is running out of fiscal room.

a big thing I learned about supply chains in February 2020 is even if US trade policies with China went back to what they were under Biden *today*, it would still take several months for normal production and sea shipments to restart and there are already major ripple effects from changes in orders

A few smart takes on Trump's tariffs and the BS that the left wanted this: @jayatighosh.bsky.social points out that poor, highly indebted countries will be punished most. She also see a potential "silver lining" - a possible rejection of export-led development.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

I wrote the “We all have a story to tell” intro so it was fun to say it on the show and troll Vic in different small ways because I’ve known them for a very long time. When they set up my rap I was similarly throwing to whacky stuff of Vic on the monitor but those became too complicated to shoot

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.
Why?
It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

When @propublica.org reporters Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social found out that fired #USAID workers could go to the office one last time to clean out their desks, they pitched this crazy idea. What if we rented a billboard truck to advertise how to get in touch with @propublica.org? So we did.
