It’s becoming clearer why so many people are just tired of this type of thinking. There’s no vision, only calculation based on what was and never on what might be. It’s the ultimate status quo protection. They can’t imagine better so get angry because others can and won’t settle.
What is the purpose of this commentary? We just had an election. Nine seats flipped. Only one of the seat-flippers embraced this idea in the campaign. Why the determination to make people mad at the people who just won?

There's no technocratic "optimal outcome" without first stating priorities. The choice of objective function is in itself a value statement. Mainstream economics presents value statements as technical realities. Its insistence on neutrality states a preference for its own values.
Economics is ~value free~ science, a point that has been agreed on since the days of Max Weber. Economics knows no political masters, and when one attempts to impose a master on it, it stops being science and devolves into cheap activism.

If you do not see this man, and his peers, as cult leaders, you are a fool. They are playing all angles simultaneously—doomsday cult, healing miracles cult, secret knowledge cult, messianic cult—and it’s been effective.
Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that "we can create an age of miracles" “You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be relics of the past in, I think, less than a decade." "And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way." "I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia." "We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”

Brazilian President Lula: The end of online betting is already having a positive impact on the economy. Without spending money on gambling, families have increased their consumption. Online betting destroyed lives and must remain in the past, like a nightmare from which Brazil has finally awakened.

My 2 maternal uncles, both Muslims in the Allied Forces, fought the Nazis & one uncle spent 5 years in a Nazi concentration camp. We’ll take no lectures from the grandson of a member of the Nazi Party.
German Chancellor Merz says Muslim immigrants who refuse to acknowledge Germany’s historical responsibility for the Holocaust must leave the country.

Claramente sim, a globo quer que o Brasil só enxergue o nordeste em tons ictéricos
A Globo ainda acha que o Nordeste parou em 1940? “Lá na Minha Terra” se passa em 2026, mas parece saída da imaginação de Nikolas Ferreira. Nem estreou e já causa revolta. É tanto estereótipo xenofóbico que parece até produção bolsonarista.

comunidade trans totalmente focada em tornar o Brasil um pais de primeiro mundo
⏰ 💵 EITA! Deputada Duda Salabert, do PSOL, apresenta projeto de lei para contabilizar o horário de almoço como hora trabalhada, limitado a 2h diárias; se aprovado, o texto reduziria a jornada efetiva para 35 HORAS SEMANAIS, considerando o intervalo padrão de 1h, dentro do limite de 40h previsto com o fim formal da escala 6x1.

Historically, figures for the ruling class and the status quo are more likely to be glass ceiling-breakers, for obvious reasons. Jeffries becoming House speaker is a victory for horizontal equality among the top 10%, but not for anything democratic or worth praising.
CNN: Hakeem Jeffries responds to DSA supporters who chanted "You're next!" at victory party "It was very interesting to me, as observed by others, that there was almost zero diversity in that crowd." Link: edition.cnn.com/2026/11/08/p…

the zionist entity has an algorithm explicitly designed to calculate when suspected militants would be at home so they could then bomb the entire extended family
arguing with people who think it’s a genocide is literally just this

I wonder why Germany always stresses responsibility but never reparations or penance. 4 of the top 10 richest families today worked with the Nazi regime

This right-wing AI slop was somehow meant to be racist but it goes so unbelievably hard. I have been singing “Rajesh says no beef upon the grill” all day.

Reminder that Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaiden's Tale because she is an Islamophobic radfem who was horrified by the Islamic Revolution. Since then she has continued to rail against Iran, but has also been a vocal supporter of Ukraine. She has said almost nothing about Gaza
The Handmaid’s Tale. Fast den här gången ska vi applådera. Hon är ju läkare för tusan!
