Nice slice-of-life wakeup tweet about world economy, this is just northeast of London:
Let me just how bad things are right now, it’s 4.20pm on a Friday, I’d normally have a good few tables here, from elderly patrons to school mums & kids.
the author is the one who strikes me as an elite projecting and even slightly sadomasochistic. It's probably because he lives in Brooklyn right over the river and only mainly has to go on short relatively quick trips to/from and within Manhattan. I have never met a working person who does not look absolutely miserable on the crowded NY subways and would prefer to use a van service if they can. They are painstakingly slow and miserable from the outer boroughs and require lots of miserable walking of great lengths through filthy dark tunnels and up and down flights of creaky stairs to rickety platforms. It is illogical and "jerry-rigged" system.Built without any sense over many decades to get everyone to and from a tiny island for some reason no one understands why it happened.
The working class are people who cannot afford the rent to live in Manhattan or in the closeby areas of Brooklyn.
They would not be against taking a clean spacious above ground commuter train per se, like folks from Westchester and NJ can. One which does not stop every few blocks and creaks along just like a bus like the subway does.
There is definitely a human misery problem with extreme density anywhere (often called a "slum") anyone who can't see that is an elite in denial who is lucky enough to have a large apartment they can escape to. Living in density happily requires a lot of money for a large luxurious apartment and money to take cabs from certain select subway stations to one's destination.

As the CDC made clear in its original order, evictions pose a direct threat to individual & public health. As low-income people face evictions & lose their homes, they have few options left: double/triple up with other families or seek congregate shelter.
More seriously it's very hard not to make fun about it and not just be totally disgusted by how his staff has to make these little entertainments for him just like a enabling a spoiled toddler. All national politicians do do the fake setup thing, it's famous in movies, etc., but they just have to do it to the max for him and all the time. I can't imagine how awful it must be just being a White House beat reporter seeing all this shit go on.
Trump is normalizing federal criminality by holding a campaign event on White House premises, another in his serial criminal violations of the Hatch Act. The White House has become a crime scene repugnant to the rule of law. -R and Bruce Fein, former DOJ Associate Dep. AG
The blue T-Shirted people Trump spoke to are a group rally that is apparently a Candace Owens project: "Police Lives Matter/Back the Blue", pro-Trump pro-police anti-BLM blacks
Ford Fischer is filming it and the aftermath March. He usually puts up a complete video after live snippets on Twitter. Here's three of the tweets
BREAKING NEWS: Some of the Attendees at Trump's White House Event Had Their Travel and Lodging Paid for to Convince Them to Attend; Failing Trump Presidential Campaign Is Now Hosting One of the Saddest and Most Bizarre Political Stageshows of the Century https://t.co/Y7SMEBR77K

[amazing-sad how many commenters took this tweet at face value] - maybe should teach humor in jr/high school instead of alternative appropriation pizza and inventing new pronouns (btw, there's a new Periodic Table that lists them all - not sure if up to 108, but definitely some natural occuring and some man/womyn-made]
Barbie sat down for a real talk about racism with her good friend Nikki in the Dreamhouse — and the pair unpacked White privilege, the struggles of racial bias and what it means to be a true ally https://t.co/IOb6jMWZ6S
"Mexico asks Aztecs to apologize for ripping people's hearts out and tossing virgins into volcanos"
What is it with "apology porn"? I mean,bi get it with fairly recent Russian or Japanese atrocities towards neighbors that affect current relations, but medieval Spain? Hey, Mecca/Medina - when do we get that apology for 700 years of occupying the Iberian peninsula? I mean, can't we just acknowledge people did really shitty things to each other all the time, including us? FFS, "Mexicans" includes the Cauderos and other cherry elites who abused their own people over hundreds of years - half are descended from rape gangs of the Conquista. "Half of me hereby apologizes to the other half of me..."
Woe be unto us if they ever discover there were girls under the age of consent in that episode.
I mean, don't we read about all this stuff in history books and say "whoa, that was fucked up"? Does Pope Francis really have much to do with an invasion from 500 years ago, vs the more pressing ongoing priest pedophilia problem? When do Mongolians apologize rather than building offensive statues to Genghis? Spain, busy with football matches, Covid outbreaks, fishing treaties, African (and British) immigrants, and the Catalonia question now turns its gaze back to the Inquisition and plunder of the New World?
Speakng of Jesus--am I imagining it--it seems like it was only a couple years ago that the in thing was to be a martyr for a cause? Now everyone wants apologia and payola instead.
Hits a bit close to home - used to be adulting was "fuck you I'm leaving". Now it's "you need to apologize for everything that's ever happened, everything I didn't get.". The idea of an indifferent uncaring universe is no longer en vogue.

Noticing doctors' lobbies screaming about not liking proposed Medicare payment cuts, just pointing it out with this most recent paid example on my Twitter feed:
Dr. Nancy Lobby, 1 of 2 female urologists in the Palm Beach area, is one of many surgeons who will face tough financial decisions and may need to shut down their practice due to proposed Medicare payment cuts, reducing access to quality care for patients. #SurgeonsVoices
So last rally Trump walked off to the YMCA and Elton john... this time they play macho man... then Air Force one rolls up to candle in the wind... then he gets off he plane to Celine dion and Andrea bocelli...
wow I've been trying to avoid looking at his rally, but this one is really is above and beyond the regular, making up superman shirt stuff, sounds exactly like a little boy:
If we’re just making shit up now, I was just made the CEO of Apple. Also, I have a pet giraffe. On Wednesday, I’ll be purchasing a state. Haven’t decided which one yet. My Olympic gold medals should be arriving sometime next week. #TrumpIsALaughingStock#TrumpIsALoserhttps://t.co/85Nz0omAE7

All the responses Chloe is getting so far seem very genuine and also of particular note, not angry. VERY interesting in that does not seem that hard to find intelligent sounding, calm Trump voters if you ask right.
Apparently reading reporting on war is not popular with the woke generation?
a few of you have asked. i don’t have words. often in journalism, as in life, it’s better to listen than to talk. right now i’m listening to all of you, in sorrow and gratitude. https://t.co/rMNJQD2sNg
We’ll keep bringing you the newsletter every week, and we’ll be sharing Times stories via the Twitter account, but the original reporting that the reincarnated version of At War has produced the past 2.5 years will cease.
There are fewer and fewer spaces that exist to examine the experiences of war and the toll they’ve taken on both Americans and the citizens of other nations for whom the cost of recent conflicts is almost insurmountable, yet too often forgotten.
So is the place they both worked at still even operating? Strikes me that kind of competitive ambition is from another world that doesn't exist anymore (2017, eons ago.)
oh in the art world at least, I have seen much evidence of change-it used to be ruthless competiion now there's a lot of "all together now or we're so fucked", i.e., the big powerful galleries offering free access to their clientle by letting them use website...big galleries worrying about big auctions doing well rather than panning them...everybody ganging up to help museums, etc.
I've seen folks lament that impeachment was a waste of time, because the Senate failed to convict. In reality, it keeps paying off dividends, for instance, scaring journalists away from treating Giuliani like a credible source. https://t.co/QzvKCvPuYD
The threats about Hunter Biden from someone like Bannon just strike me as so delusional. Even if true, no matter how terrible, how can it even come near to matching all the things Trump and family can be accused of doing as far as affecting voters? All it will be is red meat for the base and Qanon types, it's not going to change a single vote. Maybe I just answered my own question--it's not about the election, it's about people like Bannon keeping an audience for conspiracies, it's tough work but it's a living feeding Qanon?
Russian trained spies have a habit of taking some facts and spinning them into false narratives using stupid classic smears like pedophilia?
Hunter's no saint but he's not what they make of this.
Like here
The Treasury says that Derkach's campaign centered on promoting "false and unsubstantiated narratives concerning U.S. officials in the upcoming 2020 presidential election" and that he pushed these claims into the Western media through press conferences, interviews and statements.
Much of the Steele Dossier was kinda true but misleading, letting folks focus on Carter Page & George Papadopoulos, and less Roger Stone & Paul Manafort & Erik Prince & Cambridge Analytica.
It is hard to think of a more powerful, viral in-kind contribution that Rudy could have given Biden.
Can’t overstate how turned off casual voters were by Trump humiliating Biden about his son in first debate. Have heard it repeatedly from non political types. https://t.co/hGdDkxw8Qo
Here's the rest of John's gang saying the same thing:
News: More than 50 former senior intelligence officials, including ex-Trump admin officials like Russ Travers, have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the Biden emails saga “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”https://t.co/FM6TOCpDSP
A Trump-appointed Superior Court judge in Washington, D.C. sided with the city’s attorney general in a lawsuit alleging that the CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM)–himself a Trump appointee—acted illegally when he attempted to terminate all of the officers and the entire board of directors at a government-funded internet freedom non-profit organization that combats censorship and counters disinformation in authoritarian countries.
USAGM is an independent agency that oversees five international media outlets whose collective mission is to promote the free flow of news, combat censorship, and counter disinformation, particularly in authoritarian countries by providing objective factual reporting. A “firewall” embodied in statutes, regulations, and contract provisions, serves to prevent the organizations from devolving into promoting a partisan agenda. Under Pack’s leadership, however, a multitude oflawsuits have accused the agency of breaching that firewall to facilitate pro-Trump propaganda.
Pack, who was confirmed by Senate Republicans in June despite being under an active criminal investigation by D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, is a conservative filmmaker and close ally of recently indicted former presidential advisor Steve Bannon. [....]
OTF is a $20m skunk works project in a $1billion global gov broadcast budget spread across 5 *real* organizations.
Think of these street protesters playing around with the trendy tech topic of the day, mostly doing jerkoff conferences & happenings rather than fielded solutions, for that $20m and you probably have an accurate impression. If I'm correct, it's actually difficult for any OTF solutions to even filter back into the standard huge USG broadcasters - the concept is largely undetected solutions like Tor distribution with no accountability (which might make sense if you had a leader with a track record in practical solutions to put faith in. Sadly I don't think so.)
Not sure what all her praise is about - maybe I just don't know the history of the NZ candidate and his party, but she comes across as bitchy and demeaning, too sure of her own opinion/facts, and less trying to elicit some truths than perform a cutting political burial.
“This might be the that last time that you’re on the air, it’s probably the last time we’ll invite you on, are there any apologies you want to issue to anyone?”
A dream final question for a disgraced politician or operative. I hope U.S. anchors see this. https://t.co/W2mWnbfunl

Wonder if Drumpf was betting that 60 Minutes wouldn't exact revenge after his interview shenanigans. Paper trick indeed. They have much more skill and experience at what works as regards manipulating an audience than Drumpf does with his:
President Trump’s press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, gave us a heavy book that she described as the president’s health care plan. It was filled with executive orders and congressional initiatives, but no comprehensive healthcare plan. https://t.co/Mn6HRAOwHLpic.twitter.com/WmsoRQP2WJ

Desperate families in India are being forced to put their children to work as schools remain closed amid the pandemic:

Millions of kids are being pushed into child labor right now. Unicef just put out a good report – and some suggestions of how to help. https://t.co/rF9KMM5pIy
This has been a problem for decades for all candidates in every party. It's not a new thing kids are coming up with. I've seen some reports that it's getting worse but it's not at all new.
I don't care what the message is and who did it, THIS SUCKS. If I was a candidate's little kid, it would really scare the shit out of me that someone would target my parent this way:
17th district in pa at the candidate's family home. With kids inside. Last night.
CRT has been around upenn, penn state and pitt for years.
