Isn’t real is a banana republic

Why yes, I work for Teach for America for 2 years

Why yes, I volunteer for the Peace Corps

It is a gross bourgeoisie work-study scheme to cosplay as poor people and satiate their savior complex.

Okay, maybe a person with a humble background can teach English in Thailand, or work as wine server in Spain. But one does not become ice cream server in Paris, English teacher in Thailand, waiter in NYC, wine server in Catalonia, and graduate from Ivy League school with major in history, and then become NYT columnist simultaneously in one lifetime without coasting on privilege and parent’s money.

Keffiyehs were cool in '94 and they are still cool in 2024

Yeah hearing this makes me seethe. There is nothing “performative” about sacrificing your life, self-immolate in front of Israel embassy while yelling “Free Palestine” and calling out the ruling class with your dying words. RIP comrade Aaron.

Writer’s bio:

I’m interested in how ideas spread throughout culture and society and in how they evolve. I’ve written about everything from literature to theater, Nikki Haley to Joe Biden, the Cultural Revolution to Colleen Hoover, “American Dirt” to Robert Caro, cashless retail to gun control. I write from the perspective of a lifelong liberal. It’s from this place that I often write about illiberal progressive orthodoxies, in particular around identity, language, morality, gender ideology, class and free speech.

Most recently, I was the editor of The New York Times Book Review, but I’ve been working since I was 14, and my varied experiences — as a cashier in a supermarket and a sales clerk in retail, a waitress in New York, a wine server in French Catalonia, a librarian and high school teacher in Chiang Mai, Thailand, an ice cream scooper in Paris, a caterer in college — informs everything I do. I studied history at Brown University.

She’s a gigakaren coasting on privilege all her life. It is an absolute parody.

If you find yourself in charge of a train track switch with multiple people strapped on the track, you dun fucked up, probably should rethink your life choices and then hand yourself in to ICC. For me, I’ll vote with my conscience.

On May 20, during a Rose Garden event celebrating Jewish American Heritage month, Biden said one of the U.S. hostages held in Gaza was a guest at the White House event, before correcting himself. One day earlier, at a campaign event in Detroit, he indicated that he was vice president during the Covid-19 pandemic, which started three years after he left that office. It was one of numerous flubs in the single speech that prompted the White House to make corrections to the official transcript. In January, he mixed up two of his Hispanic cabinet secretaries, Alejandro Mayorkas and Xavier Becerra. During a February fundraiser in New York, he recounted speaking to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl—who died in 2017—at the 2021 Group of Seven meeting. That same month, at a different fundraiser, he said that during the 2021 G-7 summit he had spoken to former French President François Mitterrand, who died in 1996.

I don’t know, I thought they are talking about inflation as (usually) defined by CPI (consumer price index), e.g., straight up price of different grocery and everyday household products weighted into a composite index

Fed in theory only control one aspect of interest rate, which is the federal fund rate. The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks charge each other to borrow or lend excess reserves overnight - this sets the baseline for consumer-financial institution interest rate. High interest rate will increase unemployment, as business are not able to take loan (and risks). High unemployment will then in theory reduce inflation, because when everyone is jobless and poor then the value of goods will also come down. This is why inflation is not a good metric to gauge anything, and the whole system is ass. Metrics like for example general mental health of the population, satisfaction with how things are going, upward economic mobility, and levels of education in children should take precedent over inflation numbers, GDP, and fake unemployment numbers.

Back when we were kids we used to call each other Poggers but then a boomer named Gootecks tweeted some antivax stuff and for some reason we can’t call each other Poggers anymore. Society has become weak.

Noone has unironically drank liberal tears as much as Murdoch

Get a real job Nikki. You literally have not had a job for 6 years.

In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrast

I know twitter is bad, but you are victim-blaming, it’s like saying someone deserves to have diarrhea for eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
