Lots of people are saying things like "Not all Americans want this!" Not all Germans wanted to invade Europe. Not all Japanese wanted to conquer half of Asia. We're not going to get points for good intentions. We have to find a way to stop it, or we're going to face the consequences.

Netanyahu is a genocidal psychopath who should never see sunlight for the rest of his days. How has the world let one self-serving madman put ao many people at risk?

Maybe I've misremebered this period, but I don't recall Apple having to constantly remind early iPhone owners to use their new magic phone or constantly and desperately hit up early adopters to ask them what in the hell an iPhone was good for.

Remember those annoying reading comprehension questions in ELA classes where you'd read the passage and have to identify to "mood" or answer true/false about whether the author was being ironic or sincere? The people who failed those quizzes run companies now. That's why everything is like this.

Well, a couple nuclear powers are shooting missiles at each other. So, do I keep putting 15% in a 401k or are we done here now?

We're going to have to, as a culture, reckon with how the therapy-speakification of day to day conversation contributed to a sense of individual powerlessness that helped to enable the rise of strongman and fascism. It's not the main or only cause, but it played its part. And it was avoidable.

How about this as a compromise. We'll keep militarizing the cops and dumping billions into dark money pits for tanks and in Rexburg Idaho and to have 80s action stars slap a sheriff's deputy in Greenbay once a year, but in exchange, we do a war on financial crimes instead of a war on drugs.

If you just wanted to run a fun thought experiment to game out what the world financial markets would look like if the biggest players were run by just 1980s stock trader movie finance criminals, just for fun, you'll notice that it looks precisely like what we're seeing now.

I hear people say things like, "Oh, I just don't want to call someone my boyfriend/girlfriend because it sounds like we're in middle school. It's so embarrassing!" And I gotta say, kids, worrying about sounding childish for expressing something about yourself is the most middle school shit possible.

Collectively, as a species, I feel like ass cancer probably owes us quite a lot, right? It's been taking taking taking, and we don't really get anything out of it. Well, I've thought of a way it could settle up with all of us at once. And it would be very, very funny.

Don't worry. Despite higher costs for nearly everything they use and sell, US companies will still brag about their record profits by the end of the year, fueled by gouging prices even higher than the tariffs.

The head of the CIA just texted me that JFK was abducted by aliens and the guy who died in Dallas was the Lindbergh baby.
