There has still been no public disclosure of the number of sorties flown, the volume or type of ordnance expended, the targets actually struck, or what, if anything, the campaign accomplished in strategic or political terms

Cuomo was *supposed* to win and to set the stage for dozens of shitty editorials about how America had moved on.

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

As I’ve noted before, rich people making up stuff about gates in Jerusalem called “the eye of the needle” or claiming that a “camel” was actually a type of rope goes back to at least the fourth century

I think it’s a Pratchett line about the rich breeding very small camels
catholicism, the religion best-known for its embrace of the free market. many people do not know this but the Pope's primary job is to make needles large enough for the rich to get into heaven through
better than any parody

funding lotteries have been waiting for this moment
This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

Automatic payment changes the incentives faced by sellers. In an ordinary market, sellers have a strong incentive to reduce transaction and search costs, since they’re essentially a tax on the product. But if the payment is automatic, then they have an incentive to MAXIMIZE transaction costs. Bad!

I feel like we're due to a revival of pulp short stories. like, I don't think we'll actually get one, but I feel like "pulpy magazines with new stories [that aren't supposed to be genius literature/critique] every week" is exactly the kind of thing that's currently missing from my life

The pulp western magazines of the 1910s-40s were increasingly inventive with how they used the setting, and I bet modern audience could still find some mileage in the characters and concepts of some of those shorts.

Yeah it only changed policy toward Venezuela, Iran, all of Africa, our entire foreign aid program, Ukraine negotiations, the climate, the EU, the idea of liberal democracy as a positive good…anything else?
an annoying thing about realists insisting they're the no-nonsense reality-based group is that few of their predictions have been based in reality

it's perfectly fine to hold the position that it was a catastrophe and a mistake from start to finish, the world of today has plenty of evidence to support anyone who believes that. but don't patronise millions of living and dead people by implying they don't believe what they believe

this is what i ultimately dislike about, let's call it the myth of the artificiality of zionism: to basically treat it as an invention of nefarious western (christian) powers and not an idea a lot of jewish people came up with perfectly fine by themselves is just a patronising rewrite of history
in 2024 behind the bastards did their annual non-bastard podcast about abba kovner. i couldn’t bring myself to listen to it, but i’ve been told by someone who did that they said “even though he was a zionist he tried to kill nazis” and i’m like you misspelled “partially because”

Oh, since this came up - why is anyone talking history and Judaism with Arié. Arié is a total crackpot; having roughly-in-the-right-hemisphere politics on Palestine is not a sufficiently redeeming point.

My wife and I used an app that was like tinder for baby names; we swiped right on the ones we liked and left on the ones we didn’t and it collected the ones we agreed on and we chose from there. I don’t really see this as terribly different from that.
The parents of the first baby born in 2026 in this county outside Baltimore got their name ideas from ChatGPT. Hudson Oakley Winkler.

It's pretty interesting to compare the population density of North America and Asia (same zoom).
