Also, the entire vocational case for <not> majoring in the humanities/liberal arts rests on approximately no data at all:

Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

"The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of *competence*. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will."

I love how "Philadelphia Sports Fans" is in the same neighborhood as "US Left-Wing Intellectuals" and "Progressive American Writers and Activists" lmao

It's because Gritty's an anarchist, isn't it

I feel badly for Finland's goalie. 49 shots man, how do you even deal with that?

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

This is important for men to say. I have interviewed candidates for clerkships and associate positions and in finance. I have written some letters - not many.

This is not how men behave. This is not what I have been asked. This is not what I have said.

I hope they do. They pissed away a potentially really good guard in McCain when they could have ducked the tax in other ways.

So, of course, as I expected but hoped it wouldn't be, the McCain trade was fucking awful. Can't wait to hear Daryl's next appearance on the Rickey where he talks about some long-view, optionality bullshit

That's a bummer

"Hope is a good thing...maybe the best of things...and no good thing ever dies"

I absolutely hate this unless there's some sort of follow-up move. If there is, great, if not, fucking dumb.

It's either AI or a Jon McNaughton painting

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

Honestly, the best part of my teaching week was getting one of my classes of juniors to openly volunteer what their childhood "woobies" were

What ICE Should Have Learned from the Fugitive Slave Act Americans took to the streets to defend their neighbors in the nineteenth century, too.

Philadelphia 76ers: "See, what we're attempting to do is have a normal season. Just basketball. No big knee injuries. No broken faces. No trade demands. No drama. No nonsense."

Universe: "Sorry, that's a violation of the laws of physics. Here's some new weird-ass shit for the fan base to process"

Q&A: The Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain who wants NBA stars to melt ICE without slipping Matt Moberg's righteous fury with Donald Trump's immigration crackdown went viral. But he preaches empathy for the NBA stars figuring out how to stand for others without losing themselves.

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out.

we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

I was so sad when the Sixers hired him

This is, in fact, what you voted for

You're going to find this hard to reckon, but there were adults who spent the last decade arguing the biggest threats to speech in America were nine sophomores at Oberlin.

I guess all of the Sixers decided to take the game off today?

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

It's funny you mention that because I learned so much I didn't understand about macro from reading Scott Sumner for several years starting back in '09. I was much less engaged once he moved to substack but I recently read one of his posts and he was citing Hanania and I was like, wtf?

Narragansett Beer/Jaws 50th Anniversary t-shirt I got for Christmas

Bills fans must be beside themselves. Brady leaves, the Patriots are bad, the Bills appear to have a window with Josh Allen, and then here are the Patriots back in the Super Bowl.

Deactivated my fb account b/c I was about to go ham on people. I've gone off on folks before but I was feeling extra unhinged. Sometimes I gotta save me from myself.

No ICE and no DHS, to boot. DHS wasn't necessary in 2002. The President and Congress created it in a "do-something" panic.

I thought guns didn't kill people. Why be afraid of the gun? 🤔

Family of man killed by off-duty ICE agent in LA demands charges: ‘The ache will never go away’ After Renee Good’s killing in Minneapolis, calls grow for accountability in the shooting of Keith Porter Jr on New Year’s Eve

Keith Porter was murdered by ICE on NY eve, by an agent who wasn't even on duty at the time.
