Like Trump’s loyalty is a one-way street. So is hypocrisy where the press is concerned. Kevin Kruse, the Princeton historian, caught my attention Monday night when he posted the cancellation of his Washington Post subscription. Kruse posted a screenshot of the Post’s landing page making the Hunter Biden pardon out to be the biggest national story since Nov. 5. In disgust, Kruse threw up his hands and hit “cancel. “ The Post’s front page caught me by surprise because I was otherwise tied up with North Carolina Republicans trying to cancel 60,000 votes, including those of several friends. More on that in a minute. Marcy Wheeler has an explanation for the blanket coverage of a non-story: How Jeff Bezos Smothered Pete Hegseth News because Hunter Biden Was Pardoned of Already Declined Charges Author/journalist Mikel Jollet replied that the focus perfectly encapsulated what’s wrong with American journalism: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

1. You have to use the piercing gun. No matter how many times the customers say they have seen The Parent Trap, they will scream in the store if you use a needle, which will scare the other customers.
2. There is no limit on keychains per customer. We have corrected this misconception. It seems an employee instituted a limit because they personally felt it necessary, but no such limit exists.
3. Do not let customers with Auntie Anne’s pretzel bags touch any faux fur items (THIS INCLUDES BELTS). We cannot get that grease out, and the items become unfit for sale.
4. Please let men in the store buying rings know that their fiancées can tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamonds. It will save us a return later.
5. As a policy, we have a no-tester rule (THIS INCLUDES BELTS), so someone does not need to remove packaging from any item. You will have to say this multiple times to some mothers.

Τα κέρδη των τραπεζιτών θα πάνε κατευθείαν στις τσέπες τους, όχι στα ταμεία των τραπεζών για να δοθούν ως δάνεια. Είναι πράγματι συγκινητική η προσπάθεια του κ. Μητσοτάκη να στηρίξει την αισχροκέρδεια των τραπεζιτών παρασέρνοντάς μας στο σφάλμα να μπερδεύουμε τα κέρδη των τραπεζιτών με τα δάνεια που παρέχουν οι τράπεζες. Όταν ο κ. Μητσοτάκης λέει «επιτέλους […]

In the annals of British Trotskyism, a special kind of ignominy is reserved for Gerry Healy. To his dwindling band of diehard admirers, Healy was the leading revolutionary in the British working-class movement of his time, with a career at the head of the class struggle stretching over more than half a century. To his […]

Jenny Clark and Theresa Löber The UK’s climate continues to change, getting wetter and warmer, with extremes becoming ever more pronounced. Even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, experts warn that we’ll see the number and severity of extreme weather events increase further. Without adaptation, we will see more property, infrastructure … Continue reading Adaptation is to mitigation what Robin is to Batman
Labour has made good on its election promise to overturn a ‘historic injustice’ which has denied former mineworkers billions in pension payments since the privatisation of British Coal in 1994. It means more than 100,000 retired pit workers will share £1.5 billion, amounting to a 32 percent increase in annual pensions, or an average of […]

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the costs of job displacement in energy-intensive industries in selected OECD countries. Based on harmonised linked employer-employee data from 14 OECD countries, we estimate the effect of job displacement in three energy-intensive industries, namely energy supply, heavy manufacturing and transport, compared to other industries. We find that workers displaced from energy supply and heavy manufacturing, experience larger earnings losses compared with workers in non-energy-intensive and transport sectors. Larger earnings losses mainly result from weaker re-employment outcomes in terms of wages and job instability but also challenges with finding another job. They reflect significant differences in the composition of workers and firms in energy supply and heavy manufacturing and the rest of the economy. Displaced workers in these sectors tend to be older, are less skilled and more likely to be previously employed in high-wage firms.
