"guy who got the death penalty by mistake" is basically a myth, you dig into an exoneration case and its always "yeah so some random bit of evidence degraded after 30 years in storage so some judge overturned the verdict".

I will forever be confused by star athletes stepping away during the season for their mental health. I get needing a break, we call those vacations in the real world, but when we “step away” for extended personal reasons employment usually ends. #GoBolts

@RearAdBsBlog I feel like if you have $120M in the bank, so every possible thing is taken care of, and were good to play in the Olympics a month earlier, than you should finish the season of the team paying you that you Captain.

I’m as prone to nostalgia as anyone but it’s crazy how much better at basically everything NBA players are today than they were 30 years ago.

@JanTitor Also the working class. Before MAGA, they voted Democrat. They have been fucking up politics for generations. Before that, they were communists, Nazis and confederates.

An under-discussed part of the “culture war” discourse is how much the white working class / populist movement mirrors the victimhood complex of the woke left.
James Tate@JamesTate121

You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story. When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement. It's the world's laziest status symbol. The starter kit is always the same: *A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago. *A gun they'll never actually need. *A Bible they've never actually read. *And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their.... Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard? FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody. He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior! And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man. You genuinely cannot make this stuff up. And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it..... I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy

@JanTitor Sure: when voters elect politicians who do so. Trump is the most egregious example of corruption and oligarchy in US history. Yet he won the working class vote.

@IdeasAndReality Just barely. 12 million is about the cut off.

$12 million is only baby rich. Business class, not private jet. Anna Wintour, who manages the gala, has $50 million, 4x that. Beyoncé has 1 billion, she travels in her BC850 jet, a gift from Jay-Z. Jeff Bezos, the sponsor, has 250 billion. 20,000 x Paulson’s wealth!
Oli London@OliLondonTV

Sarah Paulson wears dollar bill over her eyes to call out the ‘One Percent.’ The actress, who is worth an estimated $12 million, used her outfit to call out the world’s elite while attending the $100,000 per person Met Gala.

@RioVeradonir I don’t fully disagree but would you agree that often “the government” acts In the interest of say, business over people?

@JanTitor Kind of. Especially the supposedly “populist” ones who appeal to this victimhood narrative. But who elected the politicians? We did. The lack of personal responsibility in these narratives is disappointing.

A lot of housing prices make no sense anymore. Not “a little high.” Completely detached from local incomes. $500K homes in towns where people make $60K. That’s not a market. That’s delusion.

This is a massive story that not enough people are talking about in housing. The Silver Tsunami is real. Demographics are destiny.
