we have orders of magnitude more white criollos than the Spanish empire's viceroyalties and captaincy generals but not a single Bolívar in the bunch
Man, it's really striking how thoroughly and completely c19 liberalism—no kings, rule of law, free people, free markets—is revolutionary again.

Friends and I are reading Caro’s LBJ bios this year and, as we come to the final parts of the first book, I’ve been surprised at how more New Deal pilled I’ve become.
I always knew FDR was goated, but the whole infra behind him and how it was implemented was top notch. Current Dems could never.

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.
We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style

Beyond tech industry implications of DeepSeek, I am wondering what this does to the ridiculous projections of electricity demand growth in the next 5 years.
