Shakers shaking in a Shake Shack.
I wonder if we can get some more market differentiation here. I would like to see Burger King partner up with Christian Science and I think a partnership between Shake Shack and the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing (e.g. Shakers) writes itself.
Maybe? But if it happens I would think it would be via those who in his entourage who were much more committed to the Orban project.
A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place.
This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.
Here's why.
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
historic rejection of JD Vance
This seems like an open and shut case, but it actually took weeks for local detectives to piece together the clues.
Awesome!
You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
Which book? I am down for excellent books on lyceum lectutes.
Someone should make a youtube channel of just going to these places (many still exist) and give reconstructed presentations.

I love markets. I really do. I feel for much of my life were underrated (by my peers) as a source of information.
But I do not love this "rule by which way the line on brent crude is going" as a system of governance for the USA.
I feel like this was becoming clear as Trump’s threats became more lurid and impossible, but the game here was to threaten genocide and hope that it made him look tough enough to completely surrender to Iran on the single core issue that all the demands were about, without anyone noticing
Does "due consideration" mean like...bribes?
Maybe we can open the strait of Hormuz by pouring bleach in it.
I think anyone and everyone who’s worked at a think tank has read this Onion article more times than they can count in the years since it was published, and each time has, as the kids say, felt seen. theonion.com/boy-i-really-t…
I feel like electing a central banker as a premier is a very sensible thing.
I am sort of curious if BAP's "Bronze Age Mindset" includes a lack of conscious thought and auditory hallucinations from your brain's right hemisphere interpreted as a idol's command.

Good morning!
Today I found this gem:
This is pretty cool!
Exactly right.
The success of liberalism simply requires that liberals provide—and implement—solutions that improve people's lives.
This is how we win.
Thankfully, liberalism does offer real solutions, while most ideological alternatives can only offer scapegoats.
I really think Trump administration ally Viktor Orban needs to step up in our time of need.
Where is the Hungarian navy helping to open the straits of Hormuz?
I looked it up - they use an aggregator to collect and post press releases. I work with the team who put out the new site so the prompt was a cheeky way to celebrate the occasion.
