Grocery stores may all seem the same, but the supermarket is anything but ordinary or one-dimensional. Pulled from Larson's personal experiences and in-depth reporting, this important and impactful read will forever change the way you look at grocery stores.
everyone is broke
Consumer sentiment dropped in September close to the lowest level ever recorded in the 74-year history of the University of Michigan's monthly survey, fresh data on Friday showed. abcnews.link/VBPfCAq

Inability to learn a single fucking lesson from your catastrophic policies is an adaptive trait for Washington foreign policy elites, and Trump is merely a grotesquerie of that species
Trump on Iran:
They outsmarted themselves.
They said, "Let's close the Strait and cause a problem for the world." And then I came along, and we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history.
Guess what? They don't have any money now because they wanted to close the Strait, and we closed it on them.
I've got a story for you. There was a financial crisis, and the president bailed out the banks instead of homeowners. The world we are living in today is a direct result.
The World of Yesterday is a devastating depiction of a lost liberal internationalism. Reading it, you understand that the European elites who benefitted from it were responsible for what happened next bc they were too smug & insular to recognize the threat. Really makes you think
They're trying to kill him.
Jeudi, avant de démarrer un entretien pour Politico, Jean-Luc Mélenchon a frôlé le drame. Un écran rétractable métallique de plusieurs dizaines de kilos s’est écrasé à quelques centimètres de lui, sur le chemin qui le menait au plateau parisien.

Ce corps sans vie a été retrouvé sur une plage du Pas-de-Calais, dans le nord de la France, après une tentative de traversée de la Manche.
Il avait une vingtaine d’années. Son nom reste inconnu.
Déjà 17 personnes sont mortes cette année en tentant de traverser la Manche, dans l’indifférence la plus totale.
Ces drames ne sont pas une fatalité, ils sont la conséquence de politiques migratoires qui, en France, au Royaume-Uni et au niveau européen avec Frontex, contraignent des personnes sur des routes toujours plus dangereuses où elles risquent leur vie pour chercher refuge.
Il est temps d’en finir avec l’inhumanité de ces politiques migratoires. Il faut créer des voies de circulation sûres et accueillir dignement celles et ceux qui en ont besoin.

Utah has quickly become a hotspot for data center development, thanks to its vast fiber infrastructure and available cheap land and fuel. New proposals are cropping up fast. It’s hard to keep track — but me and @andyblarsen are trying: sltrib.com/news/2026/09/25/u…

The New York Times is now confirming @haaretz’s reports that Netanyahu was warned of an impending Hamas attack before Oct 7 but didn’t pass along the intelligence.
Why?
Did he welcome the attack as an opportunity to wage war?

Death of civilization.
Wow: Of 11-12,000 undergraduate degrees at UT, only 300 were in any humanities program. That includes History and English: thedailytexan.com/2026/09/22…

Episode 42: DOLLAR IMPERIALISM
@NathanTankus joins us to discuss the monetary foundations of American empire, how sanctions weaponize the global financial system, the possibility of China-led de-dollarization, and what's really going on with the oil futures market.

this is not a happy story. it is a grotesque sign of social decay that a man his age should have to work hard labor 14 hours day just to pay for his wife's medical care. the media is trying to normalize lack of government accountability for the most vulnerable citizens, ones who've spent their entire lives working for a system that continues to betray them.
at the same time they are normalizing our tax dollars going to a foreign government committing genocide.
this man is not unique. there are millions like him. millions of Americans are hungry, living out of their cars, dying of medical neglect, unable to make ends meet no matter how hard or how long they work.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring in for 81-year-old Donald Johnson after the internet found out he was working 14-hour days to help pay for his wife's cancer treatment.
For the past three years, Johnson has delivered lost luggage after struggling to find other work to cover their bills, all while helping care for Josephine, his wife of 57 years.
Then a North Texas resident saw him struggling with the bags and decided to step in, launching a GoFundMe to help with the couple's medical bills and give Johnson a chance to finally retire.
Now, strangers have raised more than $270,000 for the couple.
Johnson says the support could finally let him put down the luggage and spend more time where he wants to be: by his wife's side.

What am I missing here? The Dems spent much of 2024 speaking precisely in these terms and campaigning to defend democracy and they lost the popular vote to the most brazenly self-dealing President in American history

If the left can sustain this new consensus against generalized harassment, cynical weaponization of personal grievances, and self-centering, there may be a strong resurgence of the left as a social movement. Let's hope this anger continues and wipes away the petty tyrants.

I saw NAZA yesterday. It's obvious why it's driven Israel insane: It is a film that will change how Americans think not just about the Israeli government, but about Israelis. I talked about it with my colleagues @alexbkane and Natasha Soffer-Roth. jewishcurrents.org/naza-will…

The guy who bailed out his Wall Street donors as they threw 10 million families out of their homes is now chiding “the left” for making materialist arguments about improving people’s economic situation rather than telling morality stories. Truly unreal.
