A little grey tabb cat strides purposefully across a garden lawn. She carries a large pink flower in her mouth.
i'm sure your cat is alright too, but mine plucks blooms from the camellia and lays them at my feet

My favourite takes are the ones that fill you with indie-movie like melancholy for the life the poster must have lived to arrive, eventually and inevitably at that take. A take that feels like it should be read with a cigarette, black coffee and a French accent.
I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people

Want to feel old? Trump’s Jesus-is-me tweet is now closer in time to his end-a-civilization tweet than his end-a-civilization tweet is to Pete Hegseth’s Bonnie-Situation homily.

When they said that AI was meant for monotone, repetitive, and/or boring tasks instead of creative endeavors nobody thought of the shade it would throw on the mathematicians.

Ross Douthat: “If it can be brought down by a lucky shot down an exhaust port, you’re not living under an Empire.”
"The rehabilitation of Viktor Orbán is the opening gambit in the attempt by American illiberals to prevent accountability and reform should Trumpism be defeated... when Ross Douthat and his friends look at Hungary, they fear that they are looking at their future." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-not-en...
Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then?
Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

One thing that getting yelled at on Bluesky all day reinforces for me is that anyone throwing up their hands and going back to Twitter because of a similar experience is truly not entering Poster’s Valhalla. Just really soft stuff.
If you don't understand the entire conservative movement as different registers and modes of whining about the same stuff for 80+ years, you don't understand conservatives

They are both about the same size when mature.
Fellowship is such a cool game. I think about the thing it does with handing world and culture authorship to individual players based on the the classes they pick all the time

I would like to announce that I am pivoting my backyard flower bed to AI. Hydrangeas faced operational challenges but our new focus places us where the market is headed to provide bold investors maximum returns. We will be seeding, literally, with silicon. Initial funding round open, act now.
