Remembering that Cuomo induced some conservative state senate Democrats to defect to ensure he did not have unified government is the key to understanding so much about American politics.

There was no vibe shift, just anti-incumbent anger that was misinterpreted by the dipshit pundit class as a mandate.

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.
I'll be skipping any obits that begin "Whatever you think of what he did as Vice President..." It's what you do when you think nobody can stop you that counts.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

To quote The Specials (who were quoting someone else):

🎶 Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think. 🎶

Seriously, decades pass faster as you get older. I'm convinced we perceive time as a fraction of our life. 1 year to a 5yo = 10 years to a 50yo. Take the trip. Learn that instrument. Do the thing!
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

The reason why the FP sold for so much — relative to its small output — is because it has a world view that is embraced by a readership of very wealthy people. Weiss isn't anti-establishment. She comforts the comfortable.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back.
"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Interesting how the feds let Canada Post strike for a little while but immediately intervened for Air Canada. I imagine they saw a strategic advantage in letting workers strike to weaken Canada Post for eventual privatization. Air Canada gets what they want because shareholder profits are in play

Can't ever say Trump is lying or racist because you can't know for certain his intent, except when it comes to ascribing positive intent, in which case the NYT always believes the best of Trump.

They've already set up the camps. A corrupt judiciary means the camps will soon include anyone the regime deems an enemy. Appalling conditions will ensure high "wastage" rates among the inmates. At least until the nazis feel sufficiently secure to introduce more kinetic means of population control

RFK Jr says there’s a healthcare revolution happening

Ironically he’s right, but not because of MAHA

The “revolution” is cutting healthcare & social services to save money for wealthy people like him

America is the sickest country in the world. Yet they just voted to kick millions off Medicaid

Immigrants built this country. Apart from people indigenous to the US, we are ALL immigrants. This madness must stop.
