No disrespect to Elliot but I think Americans’ revealed preferences say otherwise. In the abstract they’ll say x y z but in the ballot box the answer is different. bsky.app/profile/gell...

'I thought he would do really well at Spurs and it's been little short of a disaster' Should Ange Postecoglou walk away from Spurs even if he wins a trophy? @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @markpougatch.bsky.social @samdalling.bsky.social

Good piece on what is being discarded here. It was difficult but just about possible to give an answer to someone in the developing world who questioned the difference between having the US and, say, China, as an ally and an ideal.

This is quite fun. “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory t.co/ycnHVZ1gT1

This one is gonna stick with Whitmer her whole career because it reveals a deep truth that Americans already feel about their leaders. Americans think their leaders operate behind closed doors, refute the truth, and betray their most basic values to advance some aspect of their personal ambition.

Truly, we live in an age of bathos, surrounded by morons capable of bringing about our total annihilation.

And on the seventh day the Lord caved to the bond market.
