Car registrations should cost $1 per pound. Watch how fast cars shrink. And become much less deadly.

Strategic Bombing and the Pop History Problem Reviewing Malcom Gladwell’s β€œThe Bomber Mafia”

I recently received β€œThe Bomber Mafia” as a birthday gift (heh). It was bad, so bad that I believe it cannot be read as a reliable account of strategic bombing in World War II. In so many ways, it demonstrates the worst tendencies of the β€œpop history” genre. My review (and latest)⬇️

musk infamously misunderstands every single cultural reference he has ever encountered, the idea that he has any credibility to talk about common culture is nonsense, he's a billionaire south african from a family of billionaires who has at least 14 children with 4 different women

Foxtrot guy is the anti-Dilbert. He comes on here once a day to post a little cartoon he drew on a napkin, I have no idea about his personal life, his comic is generally funny and enjoyable,

what id say is that consensus reality is a public good and it takes public policy to create. by the same token it can be insanely profitable for shitheads to pollute the commons if nobody stops them

Do more, as a proportion, of Dems or Reps vote for them?

Fine. Feel free to, in your own words, give a description of the process.

Otherwise, it just looks like you’re deflecting.

Huh. They didn’t in 2016.

I’m not sure you have a solid theory of election causality

19.02.2026 03:31 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I’m going to suggest that your emotional valence isn’t letting you give reasonable descriptions of events.

Can you please explain to me how the primary system works just to make sure you get the ins and outs?

You even vote in NY?

Trump is the number one obstacle to progress. C’mon.

You need a juice and a nap. This can’t be making you happy.

I mean, according to you, the people against him in the general will just stay home, or skip the race. I don’t know if NY still has undervote tallies relative to other candidates, but that’s an easy way to check your theory

Also, it sounds like you think getting votes is inherently cheating

19.02.2026 02:31 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

That’s in the primary. We’re talking about the general election.

Has this entire conversation been because you don’t know the difference and were afraid of saying so?

Because he also gets the WFP endorsement?

But literally millions of New Yorkers have voted for him to represent them as both NYers & Dems. He also doesn’t caucus with Republicans.

I think you’re trying to argue how Schumer makes you feel, I’m describing some overlapping objective criteria.

19.02.2026 02:08 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

You didn’t answer any of my questions. Were you unwilling to, unable, or just distracted and planning to come back? I think they might help clarify your argument.

19.02.2026 01:45 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

How would having Joe Pinion instead of Schumer help with that? Wouldn’t the Republican be more likely to vote with Trump?

Or Wendy Long? Or Jay Townsend? Which issues do you prefer them on to Schumer?

Because it sounds like you’re asking voters to endure worse w/o any honesty about the choice.
