It's long seemed to me that US immigration enforcement strikes the perfect pro-employer balance: lax enough to keep immigrants from fleeing, but just strict enough to keep them scared. I struggle to believe that capital would permit Trump to adjust that balance, but I've been wrong before.

Vance will probably say something tonight about immigrants taking away our jobs. For the record, here’s the 12-month average unemployment rate among native-born Americans

I don't get people's interest in the horse-drawn carriage that has gotta be one of the worst possible animals to be drawing a carriage like how in the heck is a half ton animal with hooves and such terrible limb dexterity going to ever finish an entire drawing of such a mechanically complex thing I-

According to fivethirtyeight Trump's approval rating has actually gone down slightly since he got shot, Trump's shooting has had more of an impact on Tenacious D than on America

"I deserve to be a rude because I have good opinions" isn't as cute a look (or as effective a form of advocacy) as some of y'all think

Reminder that you can mute words! We know these people are terrible so you’re allowed to do yourself a favor & avoid seeing their stupid names/faces. Trust me, there are still plenty of tweets out there for you to read

General water guidance is eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. But according to this bodyweight-based guidance, I should be drinking TWENTY TWO to FOURTY FOUR glasses of water per DAY. Pals! You gotta test out these calculations on fat people! www.pennmedicine.org/updates/blog...

These bodyweight-based nutrition calculations are always so funny to me, and so clearly designed for thin people. By this ratio (5 mg per kg), my fat lady maximum would be 795 mg of caffeine. Two Panera lemonades a day! Or 12 shots of espresso! www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

How Much Caffeine Is Too Much?www.scientificamerican.com Caffeine can help you feel energized. But is there a limit to how much your body can handle?

i hate myself for understanding all of this

For anyone wondering, Eric Garland believes Israel, and more generally just Jews, are behind the assassination attempt. His main source is a Holocaust denier best known for possibly having once taken a shit on a floor in college.

With information swirling, people jumping to all kinds of conclusions about motives, I think it's important to remember that Charles Guiteau shot President Garfield because he wanted to be ambassador to France and thought God told him to, and experts concluded he was driven mad by his weird foreskin

@evelynjlamb.bsky.social Apocalyptica, does that sound right?

There is no place in our society for political violence. Only the normal violence (mass shootings, serial killers, bar fights that go from two guys to everybody, choking Bart Simpson, football)

I have lots of things to say about current events, but I probably shouldn't say them

It's cooler than I thought it would be, but still not sure if it's cool enough to go see Wang Chung tonight

I note that when people say "thoughts and prayers" they're never obliged to say of what or for what.
