Monstrous.

Mr. Bezos’ vessel is a sailing yacht, a departure from the diesel-powered, floating palaces popular with other billionaires. But it is still massive. At 417 feet, Koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, according to Boat International, and it cost an estimated $500 million to build, Bloomberg reported.

Koru will be trailed by Abeona, a 246-foot support vessel. Superyachts often have support vessels following along behind them. These “shadows,” as they are colloquially known, are for the “toys” — the ATVs, supercars, seaplanes, motorcycles, smaller boats, scuba gear, personal submarines and even helicopters that pleasure boaters might bring on a trip. According to its builder, this model of boat can carry these gadgets along with dozens of crew members. (Ms. Sanchez flies helicopters, and the couple was recently photographed taking a helicopter to board Abeona and then Koru.) Abeona, a motor yacht, will have enough range to follow Koru from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean — a common course for yachts — on a single tank of gas.

Thinking once again about Jeff Bezos's giant boat's giant boat

And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya
It’s

Oh no even worse!

Moments like this are weird. This means that while all those aces were getting laid off from the Post, a small group of people already knew that the CEO was about to be quitfired, and they knew his replacement was going to be the guy who banned porn from Tumblr. While it was happening!

no more female presenting nipples in the post i guess

This is the guy who nerfed Tumblr’s usage with the porn ban btw.

Welp

If you’re a boss who doesn’t want to fire everyone, you quit *before* the layoffs. If on the other hand the layoffs were going to be your job the whole time, well….

This is a great point! Trump has violated one of the cardinal rules of classical architecture.

“Epstein Class” is catchy as fuck

“The Epstein class” is a keeper.

“Ruled by the Epstein Class” feels like a real solid message, to me.

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

Max Dubler, AICP Counterpoint: we should triple the number of homes in the Bay Area so that everyone who wants to move here can do so. Troutski I don't like all this national attention from the Superbowl on the Bay. We don't need more people finding out how great it is here. I liked it better when they all thought it was a shit hole. The rent is too damn h... John J Filson I agree w/Troutski. Until CA can handle population/growth better, it should not try to encourage population growth other that select, desirable demographics expected to benefit the state as a whole. Likewise it should tailor incentives to disperse population growth.

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

February rendering of the Epstein Ballroom

The Epstein Ballroom is such a postmodernist building:

The north facade is a clean copy of Hoban's windows. The portico mirrors one on the Treasury Department, and they've just bumped it from six to eight columns to match exactly. None of this has much relation to the interior.

Decorated shed.

Which separately goes to my whole thing about how white elites just generally don’t think you’re supposed to argue with whoever’s dominant in the room. This has turned out to be a real problem! You know in *some* cultures it’s disrespectful *not* to pipe up. Ahem.

I hope they brought a 27B/6.

Yes, this is why I don’t get invited to a lot of parties in Marin. One of the reasons, anyway.

Like if you’re at a party in Marin and someone says they don’t believe global warming is caused by humans, you can get in an argument. But if someone says they’re doing a juice detox they bought from their Pilates instructor, you’re supposed to say oh, wow, how’s that going?

Psychiatrist Says Kennedy Was ‘Not Accurate’ in Discussing His Keto Studies

It’s pretty weird to me how polite elites are about wellness bollocks generally, and his in particular.

That’s also true. Maybe not the collisions—that’d be a bigger deal. But yes, they’re making it crowded up there.

If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

SpaceX Delays Mars Plans To Focus on Moon Elon Musk’s rocket company had aimed to reach the red planet in 2026

Starlink is amazing, but SpaceX has yet to demonstrate the technical capacity to accomplish the precursor steps in their NASA contract, much less go anywhere further than low orbit.

TO ALL ICE AGENTS WHEN TRUMP'S GONE SO IS YOUR JOB AND YOUR IMMUNITY AND WE THE PEOPLE WON T FORGET WHAT YOU DID

Some of the protest signs are similar to anything else you’d see since the start of Trump 2.

Others are directed at the concentration camp guards inside.

A small landlord is a person who rents out their basement apartment in their house. A person who owns a building is just a landlord-landlord.

Dude has been doing serious kegels though. That’s real stopping power.
