Fuck it, let the US default.
The GOP wants to increase military spending while forcing even sharper cuts to domestic programs.
At this point, let it burn. The US needs a kick in the ass. Let spending flatline entirely, which will slash billions from defense along with every other government spending.
If Republicans want to play this game, let’s pull the trigger.

Dems offered to cap spending levels at 2023s levels. Which would cover (for now) all existing programs.
The Republicans are refusing to raise or cap the limit that would cover what they incurred under Trump.
They don’t actually care about getting spending under control.

The War on Pronouns has finally gotten to its logical but insane extreme: A pair of college workers has been fired for using pronouns in their emails.
And before you jump to conclusions, there’s a plot twist.
In a video last month explaining the incident, the ex-residence hall directors, neither of whom is transgender, said their decision to put pronouns in emails was meant both as a gesture of inclusivity, and because people often weren’t able to tell their genders from their first names over email.
They’re cisgendered. And they were fired because the male-identifying man used “Mr.” and the female-identifying woman used “Ms.”
No you are not reading that wrong.
Why did this happen? Well…
Houghton University is affiliated with the Wesleyan Church, which teaches that “gender confusion and dysphoria are ultimately the biological, psychological, social and spiritual consequences of the human race’s fallen condition” and views “adult gender nonconformity as a violation of the sanctity of human life.”
A bit to unpack with this one, but what “gender confusion and dysphoria”? They are cisgender using their assigned-at-birth pronouns.
This is what happens when you normalize crazy.

That’s kinda true everywhere. The more densely populated an area is the more likely the district votes blue.
It’s why US district maps looks like a big red wipe with a few blue dots scattered about.

In a widely-circulated termination letter to Ms Zelaya, the school wrote that it fired her shortly before the end of the semester “as a result of your refusal to remove pronouns in your email signature” and because she criticised the decision in the student newspaper.
Fucking hypocrites. “Your” is a pronoun too.

The number is strikes this year in China has is triple that of 2022 and the year isn’t even half over. Godspeed boys
After 2008, “more factories hired temp workers or agency workers – they found a lot of different ways to evade responsibility,” said Aidan Chau, a researcher at the CLB.
Fewer than half of migrant workers – the people who move to the cities to take low-paid factory and construction jobs – have the written employment contracts that they are entitled to.
Another group of workers who suffer from a lack of formal contracts are those in the gig economy

All I can think about this is the line from “Schuyler Defeated” from Hamilton:
Oh, Wall Street thinks you’re great
You’ll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate—
—people think you’re crooked
Schuyler’s seat was up for grabs so I took it
Yes Hamilton is cringe and is Gods and Generals level of historically inaccurate but I like it nonetheless

I’m surprised someone would be confused about it. I only watched the trailer and knew it was a satire of capitalism.
But the bad sides of communism are surprisingly similar to the bad sides of capitalism. Union busting, firing at striking and protesting workers, poverty, corruption, inequality, all kinds of discrimination, police brutality (police by any other name…), using the military on civilians, killing anti-fascists…

Sounds about right: a co-worker recently traveled to Florida and one thing he told us about it is that everyone there was white. He only ever saw a couple of families that weren’t.
