- I know it’s not the most important part, but I can’t get over how terrible the writing is here
- Ok look, it’s in no way a contradiction to acknowledge that semicolon use is often pretentious and still be pro-semicolon
- That the comp with dot com era Cisco now used to justify Nvidia valuation is all I need to know about the rigor of analysis behind the AI bubble. This from @axios.com
- The brave, thoughtful people behind Brexit now like guy in college class who insisted that we’d never actually seen real communism so you can’t judge it by USSR, East Germany etc. We’re still waiting for the real Brexit, done right giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

- Why is it so hard to construct major projects in the US? I looked at TSMC's computer chip factories in Phoenix, a $165 billion investment, and came away with 18,000 reasons. Our story with extraordinary photos from Loren Elliott. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/b...

- The auto industry will tell you the car battery is a perfect example of recycling in action. Here's the part they prefer you not see: the lead poisoning of entire villages around the world to produce lead used to make batteries in the US and other rich countries www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- Why do otherwise intelligent people insist on referring to Milei economics as “radical free market” while pointing to his insistence on “maintaining a strong peso to crush inflation? In a truly free market the peso would sink like a stone.
- Recalling that 3yrs ago when my book DAVOS MAN came out depicting @mbenioff.bsky.social as a guy who mostly cared about tax cuts and dereg, the one guy I encountered on media tour who pushed back and defended him was @profgalloway.com genuinely wondering what he thinks tonight

- When we argue about trade in the US, bemoaning job losses, we are really talking about other things: the lack of health care, the failed promise of job training, the abandonment of workers. To explore this, I compared two mass layoffs: one in Ohio, one in Sweden www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/b...
- This detail in this terrifying and insane piece from @kashhill.bsky.social is one of the most powerful details you could ever encounter www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...
- When blackstone gets to manage UBI while investing some holdings in crypto is when it will happen
- Something to keep in mind amid continued attention to Trump claims on “white genocide” in South Africa. It’s precisely because Mandela opted not to pursue major land transfers — concerned he not upset international investors needed to finance development — that South Africa today remains so unequal.
- Serious question @howardbeck.bsky.social @zachlowenba.bsky.social did Tatum injury save Mazulla job? Because even before Tatum went down Celtics had blown series, arguably because of predictable coaching/dogmatic reliance on 3 to point of insanity. Does Tatum loss provide plausible excuse?
- This, from Andy Rothman at Sinology, a story not told enough. Pre pandemic, China much farther along with domestic consumer led growth than understood (or conveniently discussed in dominant frame on China)
