I worked at a Cheesecake Factory for a year. The name is a shameful lie. They don't make the cheesecakes there

Why is it that guys like this think the economic side of leftism is more palatable to voters than the cultural side? They think those policies are communism! Are we supposed to "moderate" on that, too?

[babadook ellington @grnpointer]

The only animating thought these guys have is that Democrats should just be Republicans

The Jackson campaign presents low-income voters and those without a college degree with a very different bargain, however: if you want healthcare and an affordability agenda, then you have to hold your nose, compromise on social issues, and accede to the progressive orthodoxy. 5/

The problem is you're never going to hate immigrants, gays, women, and trans people more than the Republican party, so why try?

@ragandboneshop Oh yeah, it's the best part of living in NYC. I just think it's funny how there's a subset of people on here who clearly love "transit" even though don't seem to need to be anywhere

Do the urbanism people on here actually have anywhere to go or do they just like being on trains and bikes all the time

“The current K-12 instructional model doesn't work very well and may be even worse in the future preparing kids for a world with AI.” There’s no evidence for this statement. The U.S. does great when adjusting for our higher child poverty.

Life on the frontier

@DavidDa77889261 Yeah, sounds fascinating

[babadook ellington @grnpointer]

"Elizabeth Holmes isn't interesting, she's just a scam artist" is totally BS, scam artists have always been fascinating

@ethnopoetics @JohnsonBec32985 Possibly ALL performances of King Lear from the 17th to early 19th century were actually Nahum Tate's happy ending version

[Josh Mound @JoshTBVO]

Always strange — and telling — to see conservatives who support “school choice” and charters simultaneously claim that traditional public schools need more top-down constraints.

[Michael Pershan @mpershan]

Are Yglesias and Hanford right that direct instruction has disappeared from American schools? I argue they're wrong.
