«“Now we will get order in Sweden,” Jimmie Akesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats [far-right party], wrote on Facebook on Wednesday: “It is time to start rebuilding security, prosperity and cohesion. It’s time to put Sweden first.”»

Bumper-sticker politics. This sounds so familiar. What voter has ever not placed their country first? The only ones who do are the multi-billionaires who have multiple homes all over the world and whose companies engage in trade all over the world.

Gosh, who’d’a thunk?

Ho hum, another person killed by a crazy person in America. Why do we do this? So much wrong with this story. Surely we can do better.

«in what his defense attorney said was an episode of uncontrolled paranoia, Marable pulled out a gun and fired aimlessly across a busy street.»

Still… 1 in 10 is a lot.

«If one agrees with Biden that this group poses a threat to American democracy, it is reassuring that it constitutes a tenth of the public — and not, as Biden’s detractors had it — half.»

[points to butterfly] Is this quiet quitting?

«national labor organizers … set May 1, 1886, as a deadline for businesses to grant their workers an eight-hour workday. … That day, somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 workers struck nationwide.»

And another piece of humor:

«Both May Day and Labor Day were honored in the United States by various labor groups for years, though the former had a reputation for being more political, more radical and less merry than the latter.»

Hmm. More merry or less merry? It’s kind of a dilemma.

Network TV, baby.

Oh, look, a “sensitive” warning! (It’s a photo of Shirer’s book.)

The party of Lincoln is now the party of Mussolini. That’s about right.

Ah. Yes, i thought so. You’re about 15 years late, WaPo.

How about: “After Quiet Firing, Comes Quiet Quitting”?

«But if we’re going to accuse workers of quiet quitting, we should also acknowledge the phenomenon of “quiet firing,” in which employers avoid providing all but the bare legal minimum, possibly with the aim of getting unwanted employees to quit.

They may deny raises for years, fail to supply resources while piling on demands, give feedback designed to frustrate and confuse, or grant privileges to select workers based on vague, inconsistent performance standards. Those who don’t like it are welcome to leave.»

K. I’m out, dude.

«Partisan media serves two masters, the truth and the cause. When they align, all is well. When they conflict, you choose. If you prioritize the truth, you’re a traitor; if you prioritize the cause, you’re a propagandist. One recent example of the latter is the left mocking Republicans who accepted PPP loans during the pandemic for opposing Biden’s student debt bailout. The differences between those two programs would be evident to a reasonably intelligent fourth-grader but the imperative to serve the cause by rationalizing Biden’s giveaway forced liberals to treat it as a smart own.»
