On taxes, Nate Silver had this piece. The nice part of the article is that the first part explains marginal taxation: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/26/congressional-proposal-could-create-bubble-in-tax-code/#more-37645

Most of the rural people I grew up with are, quite frankly, dishonest as gently caress while acting and telling everyone else how upstanding and strong the character of their communities have unlike in comparison to those city people.

KitConstantine posted:A Russian writer wrote a long Twitter thread critique of how the "independent Russian media" of the 20th century failed the Russian people. He is a member of said media and admits he was part of said failure. The below is a translation by another journalist. The original thread in Russian is linked. This is from the Ukraine war thread, but in reading the twitter posts there seems to be a lot of parallels to western media. It reminds me that a lot of the better quality articles are hidden behind paywalls. A few of the remaining free news sources are reuters, al-jazerra, maybe some AP new source, and fox news. NYT and washington post and a bunch of others are all paywalled now. There is probably some quality independent reporting out there, but it's hard to find. And for many audiences, they aren't going to dig too deep.

FlamingLiberal posted:Didn’t Reuters go behind a very expensive paywall or did they not decide to do that? Maybe? I never really access their content directly, and I was certain I've seen their content available on other sites with a Reuters byline and not paywalled. But that could be some content sharing thing between sites.

Someone shared this on linkedin https://www.racket.news/p/the-democrats-disastrous-miscalculation - I tried to parse it. It's so shallow and badly written it's hard to tell what the point is other than someone being a stickler for procedure and someone else yelling WHAT ABOUT MAH CIVUL LIBERTIES DEMONCRATS BAD

After The War posted:Why the gently caress did they say "sixth-graders" then write the kids as much younger? ("Despite being unaware of what a 'Biden Supporter' was...") Bush/Dukakis was when I was when I was in second grade - it wasn't covered in detail but everyone understood what it was. Bush/Clinton was sixth grade, and that included actual stuff about the electoral college and the history of why it existed. (My teacher said that, if someone won the popular vote but lost the electoral in the modern age, we'd probably do away with the EC. Which, looking back, lol, lmao, etc) I had a government teacher say the same thing about the EC and popular vote. He's probably pretty chuddy now.
