NYT and A24 pods in a week.The official Joe Rogan of the left coronation should come shortly. I like Stavy, but he is not the funniest comedian. If he can do it, it really wasnt all that hard all along. lots of other comedians will start being more vocal too following his success

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Stavros Halkias: I don't wanna do the both sides bullshit because it's not true. One side is worse than the other, objectively speaking. One side is disappearing people and one side wants children to have healthcare. A lot of stand up comics happened to have some of the dumbest opinions on Earth

Also symptomatic of right wing cultural momentum waning. The worse, most oportunistic smucks from the comedy scene(read "Austin" comics) starting to jump ship. Wondering how long (and if) some contingents of left will ruin it because Stavy was in c*mtown and laughed at some foul jokes

Wild that we got to the point where one of the most consequential military decisions in a war is largely at the whims of a private citizen who has demonstrated, extensively, not to be mentally stable and serving no interests other than his own

I dont know man. Easy to pick on this, but dont do it from someone who starts it w. "im no expert in finance",or mentions "leverage" 0 times on a 4x levered book or factors. Sure, the schadenfreud is very real for all of us but lets please make some effort when the easy pickings are so easy

I'm not a fan of the whole "European pretentiousness" meme as I think by now we would have eaten enough humble pie, but no, there had to be, as always, some German dude waxing poetically about German cars while being, pun intended, completely asleep at the wheel. Like go see a YU7 on the road dude

Does this quote come in tattooable format?

So much of the "true Thatcherism has never been tried" vibes emitted by people like Osborne and Ganesh comes from an inability to grasp how robust state capacity is the foundation needed for democratic stability, a functioning market economy and military power - www.ft.com/content/0c03...

BA should offer a "cinematic experience" seat and people would be flying around the globe for it. Library: All of Nolan & Fincher Substantial PTA & Linklater All from: Matrix, LOTR, jurassic park, starwars, harry potter, mad max, paddington, spiderman, paddington, the mummy, new blade runner

I just started reading the Great Number go up but its increasingly clear that a lot of todays issues come from a lot of very shitty people making a lot of money in the last 5 years commiting financial fraud, getting away with it and being hellbent on keeping it that way.Apropos, this just came out

This topic is a bit close to the heart for me. Beyond the obvious social media anti-migrant sentiment, peripheral Europe found above average economic growth and a vitality that wouldnt otherwise be there through Tourism and Nomad/Wealthy migration.

It obviously came with its trade-offs, and there were ways to do it that wouldnt have caused so many issues.But for boomers, many who saw their sons emigrate for a better future, they would still rather watch the country end up the economic equivalent to Japan than have these pesky foreigners

You would think that with the money going into datacenters/cooling, alongside global warming, there would be tons of new consumer cooling tech but nooo, if your building code doesnt allow it you are stuck shirtless in the living room with 19th Century tech&a cube of ice on the chest regretting life

Not to pick on Malone, but a weirdly large group on Bluesky both notices that Musk is attempting an active measures campaign against the UK but also thinks the solution is for His Majesty’s Department of Trains to quit X instead of doing what states usually do to people trying to regime change them.

you guys gotta get your government off Twitter. i hope Burnham realizes that

SV/WS have yet to realize how much their investments could be impaired from this. Imagine alternate reality where Clinton, Bush, Obama restricted access to allies of Windows, Google search, iPhone, AWS, Tesla's before they achieved dominant positions and see where their Market Cap land at

I have no views on this but one should probably wonder what happens to the belated newfound European collective and individual defense efforts if Putin goes belly up and whomever is next for Russia is less threatening to EU

Soumaya Keynes@soumayakeynes.ft.com

On the latest episode of The Economics Show with Soumaya Keynes, I asked @anandmenon.bsky.social what he would recommend the UK government prioritise when trying to strengthen the UK-EU economic relationship. His answer: don't. www.ft.com/content/660a...

while at it, if we are tossing barbs may as well put it out there that I never understood the whole Mexican food obsession. Yes, its good, but Chinese food and Indian food beat it to a pulp and I dont hear this sort of irredentism over it

I'm sure the Italians, French and Spaniards are mind-blowing and can't comprehend what their palates are telling them. JFC...
