We went to the British Museum today. I've joked about it and how I'd like to see it before they give everything back. It felt worse than I expected. It's pretty gross how much stuff they looted and refuse to give back.

There are more of us than them & when we heard “taco trucks on every corner” we saw it as an aspirational dream of deliciousness rather than something to fear. I too feel so very lucky that I have been able to live in several multicultural cities in three different continents. It is a blessing

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

@peark.es You guys made a joke at the end of Normal Men this week about remixing the show. There were times where I would have supported it this week. Your channel was mixed way lower than everyone else's and was hard to hear on speakers. I had to have the volume to a ridiculous level in my car.

I wish @benwinslow.bsky.social didn't block responses so I could add "And check the opt-in box to get future ballots" in a place people would see it.

TURN IN YOUR BALLOTS! Per @voteslco.bsky.social, voter turnout is about 10%. This year, you MUST have your ballot in before 8pm on Election Day (postmarks won't count after that)! #utpol #Utah

Or hear me out. He's spent his entire adult life over leveraging debt and lower interest rates make that less expensive for him personally and he doesn't GAF about anyone but himself.

NEW from me. Trump wants to take over the Federal Reserve and lower interest rates in part because he believes it will cut federal budget interest costs by "$1 Trillion per year." In @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social, I show that fiscal dominance would NOT reduce interest costs very much. 🧵

Things we failed the world as GenX. We convinced other generations that computers were magic and could do anything without your participation. Then Apple made it worse by telling people that iPads were computers.

I've been watching a lot of European Football lately. A few takeaways. The only team I could name any players on is Wrexham (thanks to the doc). Rooting for them feels a little like rooting for the Yankees. Any EFL game > Serie A game. The crowds are so much better, making the game a better watch.

I much prefer the coverage on Paramount+ vs Peacock. Having a studio show all the time vs just the big games improves the experience. I still don't know anyone but it's nice background sound between games.

Whatever happens, try to do the right thing, try to protect people weaker than you, try to stand up to bullies, try to speak truth to power.

I went to the City council meeting last night. Fear based media has broken people. It was a public hearing about the potential of a conservation burial area and people are freaking out. It's a very preliminary idea and all the environmental studies have not been done yet. People can't handle that

You are up to date.
