I'm so old I remember the incredible freakout over the Japanese spending loads of $ in US investments. Wonder what's changed
Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Hello, worse, and somehow even more stupid, Vietnam War
A quarter of the entire deployed US Navy is now stationed in the Caribbean.
That goes way beyond frighteners.

Kind of think the worst and most virulent cases of Imposter Syndrome occur in our billionaire plutarch class. These patients vaguely sense that they are in fact lucky but still deeply stupid, and this drives them to insensate, gibbering rage

Is that what kept him from being elected president
honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

Spent hours this morning dealing with a student who clearly used AI to write an angry challenge to the bad grade they got for clearly using AI on an essay. Tell me again how AI is a wonderful time-saver

Phil Lynott gets static for the lyric from "Jailbreak" "there's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town," as the location for a jailbreak would be, uh, the jail. But the lyrics of "Chinatown," "you don't stand a chance if you go down to Chinatown" are more of a puzzle

If only there were some relevant fable involving scorpions and frogs
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Just so many stories for all my decades about how OUT OF TOUCH NYC was Imposing Its Will on the Entire Nation, and now NYC elects a mayor in a fair election, and the entire national GOP starts wailing about how unfair it is that they can't impose their will on NYC voters. Fuck

He's a dumb asshole who I've hated forever, but he is a genuine NYC dumb asshole, and while I'd piss on him even if he wasn't on fire, I give him that respect
Curtis Sliwa claims to have been offered $10 million, across seven bribes, to drop out of the mayoral race. Last month, he said he’d leave the ballot if “a Mack truck hits me, and I get turned into a speed bump, and they can’t recover me in the I.C.U.”
Inside Curtis Sliwa’s Never-Ending Campaign
The Republican candidate for New York City mayor has been aggressively ramping up his campaign, even if it’s to the benefit of Zohran Mamdani.

Wonder if Nate will be half as enthusiastic about Momdani as the next Dem superstar as he was for Adams. Gosh
The number of Jake Chatterbrook-Silvers who will call for the GOP to moderate its extreme right-wing positions and focus on voters' kitchen table anxieties will be precisely 0.

Much fun to see the pundit class just not get NYC at all. The assumption that Sliwa took votes from Cuomo is silly. Sliwa voters went for him because he is, while a dumb lunatic, an actual NYC genuine native. Madami comes across as a real NYer. Cuomo doesn't. If CS dropped out, his voters stay home

It's so much fun noting all the High Punditry not knowing that lots of NYC residents resent how Cuomo as gov screwed the city as to mass transit. If you want to get a NYer going, bring up transit and sit back for an epic tirade
