C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 03/06/2026So many ideas from the early 60s are predicated on the idea that we’ve basically captured the returns from electrification, scientific agriculture and medicine, The Atom etc. and now we’ll have to learn how to live on diminishing returns. 040

C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Yes it is. If Cas is right and the outcomes are say 99% a function of the political party of the president and you say he’s halfway right, then that leaves you 49.5% a function of the political party of the president which is to say majority not a political variable. I’m glad you changed your mind 000
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 03/06/2026You said the opposite of that. Cas said these outcomes are largely a political variable, a function of the political party of the president. You said Cas’s thesis is only halfway true, i.e. that these outcomes are mostly not a function of the political party of the president. Glad you changed tho 100
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 03/06/2026The lines on the chart include two countries massively investing into AI infrastructure, one with Republicans and the other without.

C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Ragging on John Lennon is a safe and effective form of self-care. I’m deeply proud of all the young men ragging on John Lennon to get back at an ex boyfriend, just like I’m proud of Diego for ragging on Saint Joan 010
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Like this person, I stated that Didion had correct opinions on the Exonerated Five and El Salvador. But they are concerned with style rather than substance. bsky.app/profile/estu... 000
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026That’s right, I care if people come to accurate conclusions - like whether the central park case was a miscarriage of justice guided by a media furor rather than evidence - through sound logic. That’s why I truthfully stated that Didion was correct on the substance. 100
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Argue against this guy whose only concern with Joan Didion is that she can be tepid and uneven. On the substance, Didion is for the Exonerated Five and against human rights abuses in El Salvador. I’m just sipping the tea, sis. bsky.app/profile/estu... 100

C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Right, I’m not interested in Joan Didion’s politics. The fact that her actual political actions, condemning US backed human rights abuses in El Salvador & opposing racist prosecutions, are against the actual US Right and Donald Trump is only of interest to me because it makes my dunks on you sweeter 100
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026It might hurt your feelings to admit this and I hate “gonzo journalism” too. But she was right about this, right about El Salvador and many other issues. No amount of hemming and hawing about tone will change that. 100
C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026The paragraphs you selected are accurate and devastating depictions of the way the rape of Trisha Meili was used.

C Trombley @ctrombley1.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Joan Didion stood up for the Central Park Five. DNA evidence and a confession would later demonstrate that she was attacked by serial rapist Matias Reyes and not any of the young men in prison 110
