Al netto dell'inflazione, rispetto al 2005 gli stipendi contrattuali dei metalmeccanici sono più alti del 7%. Il commercio è sotto del 7%, turismo, pulizie e scuola del 10-12%. Il grosso della perdita è arrivato con l'inflazione tra il 2021 e il 2023.

I think we have a problem

Notice what Talarico does. Personal history led to worldview led to motivation behind his politics (and implicit critique of where Dems went wrong). All in 2 minutes. Too often Dems skip right to plans / talking pts / attacking other side.

Joe Rogan: Why are you a Democrat?

@JamesTalarico: My mother met my birth father, who had a drinking problem that sometimes led to being violent. My mom decided right then and there that she was leaving. She found a little apartment in East Austin and worked double duty at a hotel to provide for us. She saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’ Our historical legacy is the party that fights for the little guy. That's why I'm a Democrat.

Whoa!

The Congressional Budget Office found that American inequality is actually *down* somewhat since 2000.

Gini was 0.440 in 2000 and it's 0.418 now, and median households got ~70% richer in that time, too! (The poorest households' went up 108%!)

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

CBO just released its latest "Distribution of Household Income" report (for year 2023), and the findings are - as usual - a narrative violation.

Real incomes up across the board.

Income inequality basically flat for decades.

Taxes falling for everyone except the rich.

The antidote for brain rot is going back to longer formats: reading books, essays.

Reading will help you rebuild your focus and attention span.

I sindacati italiani hanno rinunciato a far crescere gli stipendi e hanno scelto di fare politica. In trent'anni non c'è stato uno sciopero generale sui salari e i contratti nazionali schiacciano verso il basso gli stipendi. Nona puntata di CrescitaZero con @BidutElia.

delete tiktok, instagram if you want to change your life.

Your phone can impair cognitive performance even when you’re not using it.

Turning it off isn’t enough. Put it in another room.

[Curious Minds @CuriousMindsHub]

Use your phone less.
Use your phone less.
Use your phone less.
Use your phone less.

Because attention is not free.

Chile required all gas stations to put their prices on the internet. The result? Margins went up 9%. Never forget that buyers are not the only people interested in what prices are! 1/

Happy to share that our paper "Mecha-nudges for Machines" has been accepted as a spotlight at NeurIPS 2026!

[Brandon Luu, MD @BrandonLuuMD]

10 minutes of TikTok was enough to impair people’s ability to remember and carry out intentions.

Twitter and YouTube didn’t show the same decline.

Rapid context-switching may be where most of cognitive cost is.

Short-form videos are linked to lower memory accuracy and reduced brain synchrony.
