I guess #TravelWithNatalie wants #Trump to expand his horizons. He's facing Eurasia.

I look at Bush's painting and my mind flashes to, "I looked the man in the eye. I found him very straightforward and trustworthy – I was able to get a sense of his soul." He's had 25 years to contemplate .... Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

#EconSky It's tragic to be daily reminded that the "net present value" of Kant's Theory of Human Dignity has been set at zero rather than infinity as he argued. When everything is for sale, human life is cheap indeed.

It's sad, but not uncommon, to see a man conflate his own identity search with that of the culture he grew up in - and be on the wrong side, in both senses, of that search to boot. It's tragic when it's in a NYTimes Op-ed. But I relish the political fall out. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/o...

Great thread. As with all things #AI the choice to conflate or not conflate meaning across domains is the issue. What is a "search". Can an LLM search? Is that just a fig leaf covering up 4A violations? Lots to unpack. Thanks. cc @braddelong.bsky.social

#WW3 #Trump has ordered ALL traffic going through the Straits of Hormuz blocked and the interdiction of toll payers. I presume he means the Chinese and Indian vessels that have been given free passage recently. Silly me. Out of practice on the hiding under my desk nuclear war drills.

Wolff is one of many people who could have spoken up sooner and louder but did not. Not only because he too prefers to use phrases like "models" or "women of indeterminate age" instead of "children" when referring to Epstein's victims but also because he is always out for a $.

As with climate change have we gone too far past a tipping point in this matter? We are led by a man who doesn't read, doesn't reflect, never self examines .. and it shows.

"It would be catastrophic to become a nation of technically competent people who have lost the ability to think critically, to examine themselves, and to respect the humanity and diversity of others. And unless we support these endeavor, it is such a nation that we may well live. It is therefore urgent now to support curricular efforts aimed at producing citizens who can take charge of their own reasoning, who can see the different and foreign not as a threat to be resisted but as an invitation to...expand their own minds and capacity for citizenship"

The U.S. government is in the hands of a disturbed authoritarian who is surrounded by people who either share his delusions, are too sycophantic to confront him, or believe the president’s delusions serve just fine as a vehicle for their own greed and ideological extremism.

#EconSky I wonder if the Egyptian Priesthood ever got greedy and kept the Nilometer's secrets to only a few, to boost their income? www.atlasobscura.com/places/nilom...

The nilometer was invented about 5,000 years so Egyptian farmers would know whether to expect famine or flood.
