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.

Daniel Kuehn @dkuehn.bsky.social · 1d

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.

Daniel Kuehn @dkuehn.bsky.social · 1d

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.

New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Fiddler Ashley MacIsaac has show cancelled over Google AI-generated misinformation

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.

We’re cooked

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.
