I remember watching Jake Paul fight Tyson immediately after the election in 2024 and thinking an inability to laugh Paul out of the ring was a great example of the rot in America that led to Trump coming back, it was good to see Anthony Joshua do that. It felt like the culture starting to shift back

The reality is that Jake Paul humiliates the sport. Boxing is a serious thing, and while it's not a perfect martial art by any means, it's practiced by athletes who put their heart and soul into a lifetime of mastering their art.

The Party of ‘All of the Above’ Is Now ‘Anything But’
The tension between the two GOP energy philosophies — one admitting renewables, the other firmly rejecting — could tank a permitting reform deal.

this is a really important point. i am fond of saying that the CCP recognized that the commanding heights of the modern economy is finance. the federal government can likewise drive policy at the state level by choices about who to extend credit to--in this case, a uniform national building code
I don’t think it would be hard…just condition various housing benefits (Section 8, mortgage interest deduction, whatever) on it. We imposed a single nationwide drinking age this way. There’s a clear nexus – “we don’t want to waste federal housing money on you if you’re going to misspend it.”

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

it was like the Old Major scene in Animal Farm where they make a big fuss over his importance before sending him to be turned into horse glue
one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

the 30-year mortgage is rent control for the middle class, and it's not particularly well designed rent control www.npr.org/sections/pla...
Is a 50-year mortgage really that much crazier than a 30-year one?
Last week, the internet piled on President Trump's proposal for a 50-year mortgage. But maybe it's not as crazy as it sounds.

the fact that the MTA is in the process of buying thousands of new subway cars without open gangways is a generational missed opportunity
My F train that was so crowded it couldn’t reliably get its doors closed at every stop between Jay St and Broadway-Lafayette — and I’ve never been more frustrated with the NYCT bureaucracy for cooking up literally every imaginable reason to not go all in on open gangways.
