"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" ~Isaac Asimov

Abdul schooled this man.

🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the AI they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

Pass it on. Seattle has the right idea. More of this please.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

The evidence is everywhere

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war. And not a word from Senile Satan.

What a bottom feeder! This was named after an honorable man who knew how to serve!

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

This morning, more than 1,000 New Yorkers came together for the first City-sponsored Remembrance Ruck, walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan to honor our veterans. It was an experience I will carry with me forever.

The NFL kicks off tonight with the Seahawks taking on the Patriots. The Seahawks just became the latest team to take on private equity investment. But private equity isn't just sinking its teeth into the NFL — it's investing in other sports leagues and countless other industries. Be warned.

Canada's new tariffs took effect today.⁣ ⁣ Everyone wants to know if this is bad news.⁣ ⁣ Short run: barely. Long run: worse than almost anyone is saying.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/a-deal-with-the-united-states-used
