Around 20% of Italians, Spaniards and French people live in houses with a leaking roof.
That is a higher level of material deprivation than I anticipated.

It might be a language thing, they’re talking about leak like this, not litteral water leaking.
You don’t need money to fix a leaky roof, what you need self steem. Unfortunately the deprivation is spiritual wich is no less important

Zoomers don’t know about this but it used to be that you’d get dates (or as was often the case, not) by talking to total strangers in person at a bar or a party.

Lol I love how blue checks are so unwilling to admit that inflation is coming down that not only do they believe the official CPI data is being manipulated by Joe Biden but also the private sector alternative data is being manipulated by Joe Biden.

It’s funny. Tech people and gold people love to talk about how the government manipulates CPI data, and that some private company with modern techniques could do a better job characterizing the real numbers.
And then a company does it and says inflation is just over 2% twitter.com/truflation/sta…
The weirdest thing about these posts is the insistence that public school should teach stuff that is, by definition, ephemeral.
There is no "taxes" skill you can learn at 15 and apply at 30 (that isn't just "literacy").

Me: “Broker’s fee is 15% right?”
Landlord: “10% for you because you’re Asian. Also there are four applications ahead of you but it’s yours if you want it because you remind me of my oldest son.”

The people don't want to be part of Argentina and want to stay with the nation they currently belong to. That's the only issue that really matters
Defending the Falkands was the most based thing Thatcher ever did

Fascinating, I missed this when it happened. Turns out there are plenty of simple strategies that defeat the mighty AlphaGo, but are easily defeated by human amateurs, kind of revealing how it still doesn't quite understand what Go is.
I admire Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and can empathize with the fact that the same personality traits that made her a ceiling breaker also made it hard for her to retire, but her actions were objectively horrendous. In the end she annihilated her own legacy.

Oh wow, you donated to abortion funds??! Then it’s totally okay to participate in a pile on against any woman who suggests it’s okay to admire women who are flawed. twitter.com/nicktagliaferr…
one last thing about the insane DeSantis ad: it shows the hard limits of the nihilistic, always vaguely ironic, “haha you can’t take a joke” mindset of the extremely online when it comes to actual political practice.

It's difficult to overstate the damage this ad is causing Ron DeSantis right now. His team is frantically working the phones as @GOP groups like LCR condemn DeSantis as a raging homophobe. What a massive, inexplicable misfire. twitter.com/DeSantisWarRoo…
July 3, 1863. Aka, Henry Hunt's Revenge. Absolute artillery dominance. It was the height of Lee's homicidal hubris that he thought he could successfully attack this.

Okay but why does the Barbie movie have an opinion on Chinese maritime claims against Vietnam’s territorial waters in the first place?
On the heels of LA's homeless count reaching an all-time high, has revised her signature ED1 policy which was designed to expedite permits for 100% affordable housing projects.
Her revision? Exclude single-family neighborhoods ...
the groyper/GOP junior staffer crossover is doing them real damage because groypers are horrible people who don't know how to talk to regular human beings

Legacy admissions seem like something where the societal consensus could shift very fast. Like, I dunno, maybe a 50% chance they basically don't exist in 10 years.
Why on earth would they entire under Biden lol
to the extent she has a legacy, it’s every opinion where Amy Coney Barrett is the fifth vote, so this is sort of true.

President Biden has announced his intention to nominate a former appointee under former President Donald Trump with a controversial past in Latin America to the bipartisan United States Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy cnn.it/3PHpCCd
Her entire body of work will be overshadowed by her refusal to resign. Her lasting legacy is throwing the court to the GOP.

People trying to use progressive speak to defend this clearly disrespectful and misogynistic action lol. He’s not avoiding her hand bc of bodily autonomy, it’s because she’s a woman and he ascribes to the belief that intermixing is sinful. He would shake her hand if she was a man
