i think everybody can see from a mile away that immigration policy in uk labour is not run by people who actually care about immigration as an issue in either direction but about people who wants the issue to go away and when has that actually worked
Those who hold more restrictive views on refugees are more likely to see Labour as pro-immigration, while those who hold more liberal views tend to see Labour as anti-immigration

i think that NYT article about DoJ should prompt a lot of questions about how much of a federal government you can have without bipartisan agreement on what the federal government should be or do

there is a lot in common between the central city with no wealthy residents desperate to attract suburbanites for weekend trips with a vision of being an entertainment destination with dollar-poor developing countries creating special economic zones and visa-free tourist areas
One thing that’s so frustrating living in a city center is the pervasive belief among suburbanites that your neighborhood is nothing more than a consumer experience for them and that the city should bend over backwards to ensure they can speed as fast as possible on their way to buy treats in it.

People say this because they have not actually bothered to look up the US’s NIIP since 2008 and assume it is unchanged. Since COVID, foreign investors have *actually* accumulated a massive position in US equities, to the tune of $20 trillion, double their Treasury holdings of only $9 trillion.

how do I communicate to my body that actually it's fine, just because it's now cloudier and getting dark earlier doesn't mean I should start eating 17 meals a day just in case we never get food again, we've evolved past that, it's alright
