Finally watched The Brutalist last night.
What an extraordinary film: epic, exquisite, immersive.
Loved it.

Listening to this press conference it seems clear that Trump is mentally gone and that his team is consolidating power for President J.D. Vance.

It's so bananas that America is now a full-on banana republic, except you can't grow bananas and there's a tariff on imported bananas.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Really good, predictably infuriating rundown of what happened to Outside Magazine. It's a pretty familiar story of media biz/VC fuckery, told comprehensively and well, by the membership-funded site that is already taking Outside's place. escapecollective.com/theres-a-wil...

Media veterans are demanding their names be removed from Outside Magazine's masthead. How did we get here?

What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
