I’d let all of these statues and monuments stand, but require the descriptions to all be preceded with “defeated traitor”. So instead of the Robert E Lee Memorial Park or whatever it would now be the Defeated Traitor Robert E Lee Memorial Park.

The reason is that the cost of living in the US has been decoupled from wage inflation for a long time.
These days the government’s inability to regulate industry (due to partisan gridlock) combined with the fact that corporations used the period of high inflation to also hike prices has made it even worse for those who were already living on or close to the margin.

I’d say that this is the kind of thing we elect leaders to decide and implement for us, but my leaders are a bunch of fucking morons.
We’ve got to go dig them holes. 🎶
That clipped ear says they’ve also been neutered, so… maybe think hard about what that kind of lifestyle change entails.

How is Worldcoin still a thing?
This is so terrible it physically pains me.
Maybe true, but even at $3500 the Vision Pro would be about the cheapest thing in the operating theater anyway.
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
