Intuitionism is the animating impulse behind RFK and the so-called MAHA movement.

Kennedy et al have no idea what they're talking about with regard to vaccines or various health conspiracies, but this does not matter. Their native intuition is more valuable than medical research.

Intuitionism is often harmless in private life, but government officials that engage in it frequently cause disasters.

That's because they believe that their own intellect is superior to expertise, and so they must continually relearn things that other people learned hundreds of years earlier.

🧵The Trump regime knows that they are destroying the economy. They will never admit this in public, but they do in private.

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent was photographed reading a text from AgSec Brooke Rollins saying that Trump's tariffs made China shift soybean purchases to Argentina.

The Grapes of Wrath absolutely radicalized me when we read it for summer reading in 7th grade. It taught me what poverty actually was SYSTEMICALLY

My wife and I have allergies so we used wooden flowers. Had a sweet open bar though. Fed our guests dinner AND breakfast because...open bar! 😂

That cupcake idea is fire but if you get married on a BIG TUESDAY?! Hoe stop playing. Im not coming to that.

Also FAKE FLOWERS? Mm.

Things you don't need at your wedding
Open bar - people will always buy alcohol
Menu cards - these always get trashed
RSVP cards - have guests RSVP online
Big cake - opt for cupcakes
• Wedding favors - most people forget them on the table
Ceremony cards - these also get trashed
Real flowers - use silk or sola wood flowers
Limit plus ones - not every friend needs
one
O
Limo - rent a van or bus, it's cheaper Saturday wedding - opt for a weekday Elaborate decorations - DIY your centerpieces and decor
Designer dress - check second hand or off the rack dresses

“Trump 2028” is going to be him running his daughter Ivanka Trump.

She would be a puppet president with Kushner as her handler. It’s why you see them cozying up to celebs and donors.

You control that. They ask you how many people are in your house. Since it’s just me they send enough in each recipe where you can have 2 servings of each recipe

Im really really loving my new subscription to Hungryroot. Bluesky put me onto meal delivery services. I REFUSE to eat prepared meals. I like that all the INGREDIENTS are sent to me raw (except the AMAZING snacks)

I got 7 days of meals and snacks that I chose for $117

I keep messing around with the Excel sheet that has my interest rates for my remaining student loans and if I had an extra $4,000 right now I could shave off 3 months and make it an even 1 year until Im done paying off my student loans. Chile let me get to praying.

My dearest Gertrude,

I fear I shall not make it home. This war has ravaged our supplies and broken our will.

We arrived with weapons, purpose, and a directive. Yet at every turn, we are mocked. Belittled.

I have never experienced an insult so great in a war zone

Send my best to the children

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The farmers have lost the China market to Argentina and Brazil. They're not going to get it back for a long time. USAID is done. The country shouldn't have to keep bailing out the farmers. They either find new markets or plant less.
