Why buying a house is still a good money move even with sky-high prices and interest rates.
Ha, right. What propaganda operation churned this turd out? These doofs never price in risk, major repairs (roof, sewer, water damage, etc.) so owning always looks way rosier than it turns out to be in reality.
Mispriced risk is a snake in the grass that’s gonna bite you when you step on it and most people don’t realize that until they actually own.
I didn’t know how much I needed to see Wendy James in a full men’s suit with gloves but it turns out that, yes, I did.
It’s quite possible I have more covers collected than any person alive on this planet.
Anyway, I have a fuckin’ lot y’all.
Again with this clown shit. This fucking idiot does not understand that when real income is falling, Americans aren’t going to feel like they are doing better — because they are not.
Or, see here: Inflation was so bad last year that real household income tumbled the most in 12 years, causing families severe economic pain. (Surowiecki also uses a very-obviously deliberately-obfuscatory time period of 2018-2021, when stimulus was occurring, to conceal this fact.)
I wish I could get paid to write utter dipshit stuff like this. What a dream gig.
We won, we did it! If you exclude the cost of food, energy, shelter, and used cars.
I’m glad people in general are making fun of Krugman for this ridiculous BS. The economist logic of, “If you exclude all that people need to live, we’ve conquered inflation” is just freakin’ inexplicable.
I wonder about that though. Does Krugman (and all the other econs — emphasis on “con” — who espouse that) know they are lying? Or do they really believe? I think some of them do know it’s all flimflam but I think a lot of them are deeply convinced of what they are spouting; against all right and reason, they truly do think that they are providing useful information free of bias.
And that is in many ways even scarier than if they were just deceiving us. You can convince a dishonest person to drop the deceit with the right incentives. But with a true believer there is no hope.
Fans of Connections, rejoice! Rebooted classic sci-doc series returns with original host.
Nice. Used to absolutely love Connections as a kid.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir’s Moulin Rouge at PyeongChang 2018.
They have better balance on ice than I do walking down a flat sidewalk. It’s amazing that humans can create something as gorgeous as this and then slaughter each other with abandon not too far away.
Is one possible without the other? I hope so.
Well fuck. But completely not surprising. Evil, evil stuff.
Verpiss dich, Satya!
The first ten on today’s playlist:
So glad I got to see her live. She’s so fucking good that way. Her studio albums are meh but her live performances are amazing.
I used to like watching Wendy James when her band’s music videos came on back in the day on MTV, but I had no idea that she was so interesting and intelligent as a person.
She just has an intense calmness that is really appealing.
Reminds me of Pantera, but if Phil Anselmo had been a woman.
And…who cares? We don’t need Arab oil any longer, the culture of the region is largely mired in the 13th Century and they don’t have nukes. So let them do their thing and we’ll do ours. We shouldn’t be bombing them to freedom but…ok? Be mad. That and $75 will get you a bus ticket to Toledo.
That seems like an extremely relevant interview question for that fine establishment
How do men feel about being, on average, generally stronger and bigger than most women?
Don’t really think about it nor care. What’s the point? I don’t want to overpower any women and don’t have any interest in dominating anyone, male or female.
The only time I’ll size up a woman in that way is if I’m asking her to help me move. If she’s got big muscles, much better. 😉
