Look, using your paycheck to buy stocks that ruin fund managers who bet against the economy is just wrong
Let's not forget the victims in this, the people who were setting themselves up to buy their fourth homes in cash when the retail chains employing thousands of working class & young people finally folded for good
These folks chose to align their incentives with a continuously poor pandemic response, including chronically bungled vaccine rollouts and, ideally, maximally hamfisted lockdowns. And the bad guys here are the nobodies who bought against the death spiral. Mmk.
Remember, your job is to not only consume, but to do so *predictably* in order to preserve the wealth of people who earn orders of magnitude more than you do by predicting these things. And the economy for middle class leisure is supposed to implode during a pandemic, dammit!

Incels are for the left what The Homosexuals were for the religious right
"Incels with too much disposable income" is quite the twist, especially when joblessness and low wealth are then suggested as causal factors. But that's not really the point, the point is that these guys are creepy and they're ruining everything
Look, I dunno why everybody needs a sex-oriented lifestyle scapegoat, but those are the rules. I choose masochists, I think they'll like it

If you wanted to make sure that rapidly expiring vaccines distributed in 10-dose vials end up in the trash, this is how you'd do it
Reminder that this guy is somehow getting a gd COVID Emmy
Based on this tweet's favs/RTs it seems the one thing uniting every faction on America's roiling political spectrum is our shared conviction that Andrew Cuomo is the fucking worst. You love to see it

If you've never spent an extended period working a job after which your feet hurt so badly you had to be careful peeling your socks off, I'm not sure you should be a politician or journalist
It's a massive % of the workforce, and they don't show up at your donor dinners or subscribe to your overpriced news rags so unless you've limped a mile in their shoes it's unsurprising that you don't care about them except insofar as they're a useful cudgel against other elites
If you can't comprehend why the working poor are often more skeptical about/frustrated by welfare "cheaters" than even the rich, the way to resolve your confusion is to try paying your rent by waitressing at a Waffle House full-time for 6 months

Thank you for sharing this, @rlj_law! I hope homeschooling works out well for your family, and I hope that the benefits of self-directed learning with adult aid and guidance become manifest in COVID learning bubbles everywhere. 🙂 ImageImage
Quick recap: kids are curious; they direct their attention to what interests them and develop models to explain what they see, what happens when they act. They become confused when new information is incompatible with those models. They're driven to explore to achieve coherence.
This is actually how all learning occurs for both adults and children. There are strategies for forcing statements of fact and basic procedures into memory for recall, but subsequent untaught insight requires models that develop via confusion/curiosity + exploration of answers
