Can’t beat it Christmas night when the kids are finally in bed and you’re just holiday vibing.

Mariah Carey is great too. I actually think it’s really cool to see a classic become a classic in real time.

The best is actually, without question, Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song, but you’ve got a good one and I wanted to make a meme.

I started Veblen’s Theory of Business Enterprise the other day and I’m shocked how clearly he articulates the transaction cost theory of the firm. I’ve searched some and this has been remarked on before but rarely my sense is definitely that it’s typically traced back only to Coase (1937).

That’s wild, but I believe it. We enjoyed the Manassas Ballet Theatre’s performance this year.

Nearly half of the revenue for large American ballet companies each year comes from the cozy seasonal favorite The Nutcracker. Since COVID, they have become even more dependent on those sugarplum fairies.
'The Nutcracker' isn't just a cozy classic. It helps ballet companies pay the bills

As Tiny Tim so memorably said, “God bless us, everyone, including the Radical Left Scum.”

It's a weird world when dutifully regurgitating a bunch of carefully curated information that the world's richest man gave you is "fearless journalism," but reporting on how the government is kidnapping innocent people and sending them overseas to be tortured is "not moving the ball forward."

Awesome, thank you!

I’ll keep looking at BLS, even if their statistics don’t go back that far maybe there’s a discussion or analysis that does.

Yes, should have mentioned I’m interested in characterizing the Great Southwest Railroad Strike of 1886 and (I don’t think?) BLS goes back that far. Wikipedia seems to suggest that as of 1886 it was the largest and I’m hoping for a better citation for that claim.

What would you cite or go to as an authoritative list of strike sizes in U.S. history? Something like the Wikipedia list (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...), but not citing Wikipedia. The Wikipedia references seem to be references for individual strikes on the list.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, the Google AI is the worst because it looks like the summary they always had at the top, but it is some of the worst hallucinating AI bullshit I've seen. It's going to do a lot of damage. The current state of AI is bad enough. Defaulting to it is horrible.

Anyway I found it.

I hate when it takes you forever to find a Congressional record you know exists because you read it a couple months ago because you’re searching on modern names and it’s called something vague like “hearing on the recent labor troubles”.

We're watching Elon saying "It's more of a Shelbyville idea" while American politicians and rich people throwing their money at him, begging him to stay. It is not remotely sane.

This is important because while it seems so obvious to us, this is some actual evidence of removing even minor appearances of Trump in the files.

Hillary appears with him, do you think she actually likes him?

I said "personally" deliberately and maybe should have elaborated. I doubt that there are many at the DNC that respect him personally (although surely there are some). He's still a prominent former president, and that does have value.

Does Trump not realize literally everybody accepts Clinton is implicated in all this, despises the man personally, and has no inclination to defend him?

You know he wanted to replace Kennedy with Trump entirely and someone pulled him aside and said "dude, you will not get away with that one."

I know it's minor in the grand scheme of things, but growing up in Northern Virginia going to the Kennedy Center was a classy, special thing you got to do. I also have great memories with Kate. I've taken my girls for the same sort of classy, "this is a special thing we get to do" kind of evening.

Garbage. This better not be something that lingers. It better be down on January 20, 2029, if not sooner.

Yep whenever I see people succeeding in the United States and their English might be weak but they’re getting things done I’m always amazed and feel dumber for being so English-bound.
