Productivity increases with layoffs (as firms tend to layoff their least productive workers).

This may not be good news at all.

Is this a Kendrick Lamar lyric?

Remember when everyone was talking about what he said to Charlie Kirk?

It’s us; the people who never listened to the podcast but heard the message he wanted to transmit. His audience is us.

They are a non-profit!

“The Green Bay Packers have been a publicly owned, nonprofit corporation since 1923. They were first organized as the Green Bay Football Corp., and then reorganized in 1935 as Green Bay Packers, Inc”

Stephen King

Hollywood markets movies as “Stephen King’s _____” because he is a bigger draw than the literal movie stars in the cast!

This is the first idea for a “starter pack” that I can really get behind.

Mexico chose beauty.

When people figured out that Salma Hayek could act, she was dragged to Hollywood.

In both cases (Knightley & Hayek), they each had one notable success in their home countries (Bend it Like Beckham & Teresa), then immediately started getting cast in ‘the big leagues’.

Money.

Most countries have to choose; talent or beauty. England chose talent.

…and if a beautiful and talented person happens to emerge (like Keira Knightley), they immediately get drafted by Hollywood to appear in some big-budget spectacle.

Serious Answer:

Nietzsche was telling them that time would be a flat circle, for them, *unless they ascended*.

The Z-axis exists in his metaphor, but he is driving home the point that they will not experience it without taking extraordinary action.

I relate to this 100%.

Just remember -- if it weren't for you -- your audience would *not* have spent those hours curing cancer; they would have spent those hours watching *inferior* Instagram content.

Your 9-year-old was right.

That is good stuff.

Hi,

BlueSky’s (lack of) algorithm means that my feed is filled with you jousting with these folks.

You should probably return to your old policy of ‘block early and often’ (if for no other reason than to improve the quality of the ‘following Matt Yglesias on BlueSky’ experience).
