I certainly notice whenever a business I'm visiting has a pride flag on display, or if I'm in a neighborhood where there are a lot of them. It doesn't mean the people there are going to do anything in particular for me, but it means it's pretty unlikely they're going to scream at or hurt me
I think a lot about a post by someone who ran a hobby shop of some form (forget if it was a comic shop or Warhammer store or what) that basically said putting up a little rainbow flag sticker on the door was the best business decision they made because they served as That Guy repellants.
DOOCY: You said it's an 'excursion,' and you said it's a 'war.' So which is it?
TRUMP: Well, it's both. It's an excursion that will keep us out of war. For them it's war. For us it's turned out to be easier than we thought.
these graphs should scare the shit out of you
“Multifamily housing is for young renters and the poor while single family homes are for established adults with children” is a really pernicious folk theory about how housing markets should work that I think is foundational to so much bad housing policy at all levels of government.
We needed to start a war to avoid a war.
The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
The missles in this video cost more than that.

To be blunt a lot of these groups should've thought about the consequences of supporting attempts to suppress pro-Palestinian freedom of speech and even in some cases supporting the kidnapping of Arab students for their speech. *You* helped make him a cause celebre among liberals and left-liberals.
it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too
BIG political win for former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorses Dunn in competitive Democratic primary for U.S. House seat in Maryland .. Pelosi’s home state.
Per campaign
Obviously no congressional authorization was required for Operation Epic Fury, because Article I of the US Constitution gives Congress the power to declare War, not the power to declare Excursion.
MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.
Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

Equality sounds radical in a world addicted to hierarchy.
When I'm not doing other stuff I listen to an awful lot of radio. This, by @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social, is one of this week's (and, indeed, the next three weeks') absolute must-listens. Really fascinating - and one for fans of @jburnmurdoch.ft.com and @naomialderman.bsky.social too.
The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it
Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident
In business schools they teach this as stakeholder management and engagement. It’s a form of manufacturing consent for their ultimate goals.
