49ers Jack

I am genuinely concerned about young men.

Humans are pretty great. Humans on the Internet aren't. So, let's start doing more stuff with humans, not on the internet.

Last night I put together a block party and I was pleased with how many people turned out to sit in 92° heat to meet their neighbors and be friendly.

Do stuff offline.

A reminder that Bondi already has access to all of the Epstein files, but is pretending that she needs to go through the laborious process of unsealing grand jury testimonies. It’s all political theater to fool the rubes in her base into thinking she’s doing something. She’s just covering for Trump.

Ari Aster did it again. Top 3 movie of the year so far.

Biopsy results came back benign.
Afternoon free.
Break from the summer heat.
Flirting with a hottie.
Collins signed.
MAGA not letting Epstein story die.
Starting my weekend early.
Taking my dog on a trail walk.

Trump admitting he tried to kill the story.

This means that WSJ is Lawyered up to the hilt and massively sure of their sources to publish this.

It also means discovery is going to be fun.

John MacArthur died!?

I know this is wishful thinking but Trump obviously covering up the Epstein files and directly telling his followers to move past it might actually kill MAGA.

I've tried to post daily on here for a year but most of the time it's like I'm speaking into a black hole.

Neoliberalism was a massive push away from the collective to the individual. It was two generations of The Self and then it collapsed.

Is it populism now? Fascist populism Vs Socialist populism? Is there a third alternative?

Finished Abundance and I'll be thinking about this for a while. If the end of the New Deal was Vietnam, Nixon, and Civil Rights movement, what was the end of Neoliberalism? Housing Crisis/occupy wall street, Iraq war, and the untenable end result of political correctness?

Retconning ‘Russiagate’ The CIA director encourages the rewriting of history.

Important piece by Renee DiResta in @Lawfare about how the Trump Administration is now rewriting the 2016 intelligence assessment that Russia favored Trump in its election interference activities.

Bluesky is dead huh

Why belief in hell conditions people to allow abuse, and lack empathy:

Occam’s Razor:

MAGA influencers used Epstein conspiracies to grift but now that the dog has caught the car they cannot release files in an active DOJ case

"I may not be equipped to be loved this much"

"I'm waiting for the right moment because when I ask you out there won't be any turning back for me. I'm not going to date anyone else the rest of my life. I'm not going to love anyone else the rest of my life. I'm not going to care about anything else for the rest of my life."-Life Itself #moviesky

Endearing myself to my MAGA neighbors

The trick is that the party Elon wants is a techno/libertarian/laze faire capitalist party. What like 75% is Americans want is some form of labor/workers party. Everyone says they want a third party. What that party platform is gets a lot more complicated.

Bro code

reflecting on how progressives talk about the gov being a force for good but shoot themselves in the foot with endless red tape (CA rail for example) while MAGA talks about gov being inept but use FEMA to build a concentration camp in 8 days.

does Lenoir's bullshit arrest cost him his shot at being a captain?

🤔

If you have kids at home, cherish the memories you make tonight.

You said smoker. Cool.

Pellet? Or firebox?

I'll be watching movies tonight while half of America celebrates the end of the country I love

Dems have to hang this around their neck and win the messaging war for the next 3 years or we're doomed

I don't care too much of a restaurant is MAGA, but when they switch to beef tallow for their fries I get annoyed because it tastes objectively worse.
