yea we should definitely listen to the failson of a famous actor about how the economy is actually amazing for normal people

[Ben Dreyfuss @bendreyfuss]

No one has ever said “the economy is so good that life is perfect for everyone and no one wants for anything.” This is an unrealistic standard.

The Liz Cheney strategy currently looks a lot less like something done in the best interests of winning and a lot more like a purely ideological choice.

kamala harris is sharing appetizers with dick cheney talking about how well she’s going to deport immigrants, and this guy truly believes that msnbc is why she lost momentum

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Regardless of what happens on Election Day or whether it reflects real poll movement, it’s super obvious that everyone is feeling a pro-Trump vibe shift right now. Stop and think about where it’s coming from. What possible vector could drive this shift simultaneously nationwide?

the richest guy on earth fundamentally misunderstanding self-selection in immigrant median income is actually a far better example of america providing undue opportunity

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wow, America really is the land of opportunity!

“why don’t vegans just start their own farm if they really want to be more ethical?”

[Simon Sarris @simonsarris]

Veganism is both the moral and nutritional equivalent of being a flat earther. It is a diet of deficiencies that is especially unhealthy for children.

But considering just the moral point for a moment, there are two implicit claims to address...

@WoeToChorazin the doordash logo really ties it together i feel

[carson @CarsonPrice8]

hmmm i wonder if there’s any history of the state institutionalizing those who aren’t productive in the labor force (often homeless)… surely not…

[carson @CarsonPrice8]

“the state should be able institutionalize people who they designate as “mentally ill”” is a sentiment shared by a shocking amount of people, realllll bleak.

core value of left-wing politics: dietary preference and yoga

[Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @christopherrufo]

Hell, I'll say this, too: The media perception of me is infinitely amusing. To them, I'm the scary, right-wing Bond villain. But in reality, I was on the Left most of my life. I directed films for PBS. I was a vegetarian for 28 years. I studied yoga in India. Life is complex.

[carson @CarsonPrice8]

the number of people agreeing with the breitbart lady about how hyper-exclusive schools are actually good, just to dunk on rufo, is troubling.

it’s fine to make fun of rufo for being a loser without taking the tone of “non-exclusive schools are for dumb people.”

[A.J. Delgado @AJDelgado13]

Hi, Harvard real-degree here. You're spot on. The "extension school" is a source of laughter and annoyance for students and alumni. (I think Columbia has one, too -- same thing there.) It's basically an "anyone can enroll, so long as you pay", no more stringent than a community college. No fucking way should they get to say they are Harvard alumni or have a Harvard degree.

[carson @CarsonPrice8]

marx was super clear that the socialist ideal would involve… capitalism ???

[Kai Samuelsen 🧦🗽🚅 @KaiDaigoji]

@N3weis You're saying the 'hell of capitalism is that there's a firm' whereas Marx was super clear that the socialist ideal would involve worker owned firms.

So you don't have a coherent ideology, or know what you're talking about.

i think it says a bit about your film taste if you ever considered bird box to be “the greatest thing ever”

@tyorrique jameson’s introduction alone sells the text, for me at least.
