Thinking about the completely fake bomb/drug/criminal detection device that was sold for up to $8000 per unit to police and militaries the world over and was quite literally a useless piece of plastic full of strangely deliberately placed dead ants

During the WW2, the most fights between the Nazis and the Soviet Union took place in Ukraine and Belarus. The myth of "Russian war" is a myth - despite the real suffering of Leningrad or Stalingrad. See the map. Ukraine was a bloodbath, not Russia. texty.org.ua/projects/10385… /8

Biden called Putin’s nuclear blackmail bluff and Russia softened its nuclear rhetoric over Ukraine. Erdogan called Putin’s food blackmail bluff and Russia rejoined the Black Sea grain initiative.
Draw your conclusions how to deal with Russia. #geopolitics #realpolitik

An annoying thing about macroeconomics is that well-qualified people disagree about really basic questions like “are interest rates higher now than they were pre-pandemic or lower?”

Notable here that one of the most popular parts of the Inflation Reduction Act — reducing the deficit, supported by 81% of voters in @DataProgress July survey of national voters — is the provision voters are most unaware of.
Data for Progress @DataProgress
NEW POLL: The Inflation Reduction Act was one of the signature achievements of the Democratic trifecta — yet national voters have heard relatively little about the IRA.
Just 24% of voters report having seen or heard political ads mentioning the bill.

I kind of think the opposite — people love believing that rich people they have political disagreements with are secretly unimpressive morons, but even if Musk’s Twitter investment goes to $0 he’s still had a tremendous world-changing career with impressive achievements. https://t.co/Jf08I17my7

People love believing that the ultrarich are geniuses, but this story makes clear that Musk has no viable plan for this site, that his pro-troll position will choke off ad revenue, and that he has, largely out of vanity, put himself in a terrible position. https://t.co/fJRKDrc0p9
