Maybe this is a very gen z take but I have never understood the implied gravitas a politician’s sex scandal is supposed to have
Interesting post, good quote + some other thoughts ⬇️

I wrote a short essay on post-liberalism and what I believe to be the future political norm of the world: https://mazmhussain.substack.com/p/climbing-off-the-tiger
The Barcelona Arsenal rematch 20 years later would have been the best.

Don’t really have any investment in an Inter vs PSG final. PSG winning would be the most hollow and sterile UCL outcome I’ve ever seen in my life

Stephen Lynch didn’t need any corruption or Trump to be anti-crypto, he’s been at it for years and, like Warren, will look for any reason to manipulate people to oppose it

Every kid in a high school US history class has a lecture about the Kent State shooting.

Nobody is ever taught about the hundreds to thousands of leftist terrorist bombings in the 70’s including bombing the US Capitol building by the weather underground
Student debt jubilee (undergrad only) that is paid for by taxing university endowments over time.

Only Trump could do this
Instinctive take is that China cannot long term afford a trade war like this. Americans have to go without knick knacks (and some important stuff) but Chinese people will just lose jobs en masse, and what’s stopping any of those companies from just taking their manufacturing expertise to a Vietnam with cheaper labor?

Very funny that trying to get news about what’s happening in China most reminds me of trying to understand Trump policies.

First 40 minutes of this is pretty good, gets over my head in terms of the CS/math behind it, but good explanation of AI info retrieval in different formats, plus some takes on what you can do to cater to it

Not really buying much of anybody’s “secrets to SEO for AI” yet

I’m just doing generally holistic/following best SEO practices and my sites are seeing solid traffic growth + conversions from referral traffic from ChatGPT dot com, perplexity, and others.

Ok if the TL is dead because people are in NYC here’s some of my favorite spots:

Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint:

Wanpaku (ramen), Pierozek (pierogies), Tørst (beers), also a Van Leeuwen, plus go to the street between the Starbucks and McCarren Park for an empanada truck that’s there sometimes.

UES: Bua (Thai), Pil Pil (tapas), Penrose (American + bar), chirping chicken (fast food but very good), Milano Market (deli, has become tik tok famous since, but really good), Naruto Ramen

Other stuff: Antique Garage (Mediterranean, soho), Otis (new American, Williamsburg), Taverna Kyclades (Greek, Astoria), Sotto Le Stelle (pizza, Sunnyside)
Why wasn’t there more Marxist thought about individualized labor/capital combined ownership?

Not communal ownership of capital, and not segregated labor/capital but each person typically seen as “labor” just owning the capital they work on? This has kind of started happening anyway

They keep missing the point here. It just does not work to do an act where you’re the white guy whisperer who’s “code switching” to trick people.

You have to change your actual policies and opinions. We do not like them or you.

I was on a touristy type boat in Sicily and the captain guy was maybe 20.

Absolutely perfectly content to just take people around Taormina for the rest of his life.

We were all Americans and asked him about the business, tourism, prospects etc.

He took the questions as if they were about the weather that day

I’d like to see more of this sentiment in general, we need a different positive vision of the future that makes polarization fall away.

It’s telling that Lincoln is the example here because he’s very uncontroversial now, but contemporaneously was maybe 10-100x more controversial than Trump has ever been

She’s kind of right.

Just enforcing the law in a case like this actually is a wild deviation from the norm.
