@dugmartsch @constans Even if you're charitable and say that leftists mean well (and I'm not exactly sure either way myself), good intentions *often* lead to bad outcomes. Sometimes horrific outcomes I don't think dumb gets you a merit badge

@constans its a bad idea because the nonprofit will be run by someone he likes and won't be selected by market participants for merit. like im not a hater i don't think these people realize that their solutions are bad, they aren't bad people who just want to enrich themselves.

This is not a bad idea in THEORY but in practice, the sort of people who are tenants of a crumbling, mismanaged apartment aren’t going to be good coop owners of a building, and non-profits won’t have enough capital to manage the buildings, either.
Brecca Stoll@breccastoll

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

@tracewoodgrains Reddit these days are socialists who are also okay with political violence and Jew murder which is where Platner seems to land for me. Call it what you want I guess.

@Ed453164711 I do actually think it's a coincidence, yeah. "radical politics" is not one unified basin, and nobody with the views he was eagerly espousing online gets any sort of clout from a tattoo like that. quite the opposite

@Rory_Johnston @ShaIenden Possible, but it would be a serious tail between your legs surrender to go back to the Obama deal plus Iran charging tolls like the strait is a Florida highway.

@LinkofSunshine Sigh. This isn’t a mystery. When inflation expectations are, explicitly or implicitly, 2%, and inflation is above 2%, people are upset. This is obvious and I do not understand the endless confusion. Inflation > 2%. There’s your answer.

Bob Dylan, who turns 85 today, is a fine lyricist, put out a few very decent records, and is one of the worst singers ever to hit the top 5. The Byrds got to number 1 with Mr. Tambourine Man (a good song!) because he couldn't sing and they could.

@Tyler_A_Harper The whole proliferation of the "studies" was a huge defeat for the Marxists, who believed they must compete and win in the canonical disciplines.

Relatedly, you’ll be hard pressed to find academic departments hiring Marxists. One reason is that Marxists ask too many questions about—for example—how universities square “inclusive excellence” and liberation blather with a labor model built on exploiting part-time gig workers.

Tyler Austin Harper@Tyler_A_Harper

On the academia is full of Marxists debate: it’s illustrative to look at Mellon, the largest source of academic humanities funding by orders of magnitude. Projects tagged w/ Marxism in their grant database? 0 Gender studies? 46 Black studies? 25 Social Justice? 42 Latinx? 451

@Tyler_A_Harper Marxists is simply code for positions of privilege allocated by apparatchiks. It's not actual Marxism.

@amin_shaigan @BarakRavid This "deal" means Iran is a power player in the gulf for the next 5-8 decades Why the hell would the Gulf states cozy up to Israel now, when they have to work with Iran? If Iran was wiped out they'd sign up with Israel in a heartbeat

I consider this a fair deal: ending the war in the Middle East in exchange for accepting the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel. If they accept the very real and immediate threat posed by the Islamic Republic regime, why shouldn’t they also accept normal relations with Israel? If the argument is about a conflict that goes back sixty years, then the regime’s war against them is far more recent.

The leaders, especially those of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan who don't have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, were surprised by Trump's request. "There was silence on the line and Trump joked and asked if they are still there," one of the U.S. officials said
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid

🇺🇸🇸🇦President Trump told leaders of Arab and Muslim countries during a Saturday conference call that if a deal to end the Iran war is achieved he wants their nations to join the Abraham Accords and sign peace agreements with Israel. My story on @axios axios.com/2026/05/24/tru…

Over the last 24 hours I have been inundated with messages arguing that another domestic beer is better than Miller Lite. Shocked and disturbed that nobody has advocated for this regional nectar of the gods.

I stand by my stance: it’s hard for me to see Iran giving up its enriched uranium. The IRGC hardliner class would see it as folding to the U.S.

Trump administration indeed pausing arms sales to Taiwan. Unclear what, if anything, Beijing offered in return. Allies will see it (rightly) as further evidence that the US approach to Beijing is conciliation and accommodation.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

U.S. arms sales to Taiwan have been “paused,” a senior U.S. military official said, fueling concerns among lawmakers and Taiwanese officials that President Trump’s support for the democratically governed island is wavering. wapo.st/4wLI6of
