NEW: 🟡 Bill Owens, the longtime executive producer of 60 Minutes, said he’s unimpressed with his successors and disappointed that the show had missed an opportunity to press Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the Iran war. semafor.com/article/11/08/20…

“Hint of Lime” is an astonishingly dishonest name for a tortilla chip that tastes like it was manufactured during an industrial accident at a lime processing facility

I’ve tried on three occasions to engage The Athletic writers on the Marble Game. Generally like them and their writing. But I realize a gigantic media “industry” would be destroyed if the Marble Game went mainstream. The AP/CFP juggernaut is indefensible.

Very true. If FDR was president today he would build hyperscale datacenters on western BLM land. The Civilian Superintelligence Corps would be building transmission lines. The TVA would be a vast nuclear buildout.

I haven't heard a single left socialist in the US propose anything other than consumer subsidies to reduce the cost of energy, food, or housing 1900s socialists LOVED massive public infrastructure projects, China still does! Completely absent from the US discourse

BREAKING: California voters just passed Prop 37. Buyers of newly built homes can now put down 3% instead of 20%. How: the state lends you the other 17% as a second mortgage, funded by up to $25 billion in bonds. On an $800,000 home that's $24,000 down instead of $160,000.

I’m ok with eliminating income tax for the bottom 50% if we stop letting them vote.

Think about how fucked up this is. Someone making 52,025 pays 22% in taxes, but somebody making 208,00 only pays 24%. How the fuck is that fair in any country??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim misunderstands marginal tax brackets. Each rate applies only to income within that bracket, not all earnings (a $52k earner is not taxed at 22% overall, nor is a $208k earner taxed at only 24% overall). taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/… nerdwallet.com/taxes/learn/fe…

The first novel I ever loved was the survival classic Hatchet, but recently I’ve learned that a *lot* of women despise this book, and see it is as something they were forced to read in school to entice the idiot illiterate boys in their English class. I dove into that tension!

Israel’s Arab parties went from 10 seats to 19. Their leaders refuse to call Hamas a terrorist organization. And yet they ran, their voters voted, and they won 19 seats in Israel’s parliament. The election committee tried to disqualify them. The Supreme Court unanimously overturned it. You can strongly oppose everything Israel stand for and still recognize this for what it is: A pretty remarkable example of democracy.
