Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."

5 books I read this year that I found particularly interesting:
Dawn of Everything, which rewrites what we “know” about early humans, including intergroup behavior patterns and social arrangements.

Just another helpful reminder that a human being on a bicycle is the most efficient amongst all animals and machines in terms of energy consumed in moving a certain distance as a function of body weight.

How Madrid built its metro cheaply - Works in Progress

shoplifting panic where all the retailers spent millions locking up their downtown stores so much that no one wanted to shop there anymore, but for CEOs ruining their own lives by insisting on getting company-paid secret service-style security details.

This article does an excellent job of discussing how the belief that seed oils are killing us directly connects to "return to tradition" style grifters like Liver King. Big ups to Jaya for writing this!
I wrote about the seed oil panic, with the scoop that Carbone sent a cease and desist over those CARBONE PUTS SEED OIL IN THEIR SPICY RIGATONI fliers all over downtown Manhattan www.eater.com/24300865/are...
Why Are People So Freaked Out About Seed Oils?
Signs posted in New York City accused Carbone of including seed oils in its spicy rigatoni. But why is that even a problem?
