I just watched “The men who stare at goats” with my 12 year old. Bad parenting?

I really hate the phrase “the wrong side of history”. Guess what, history doesn’t take moral stances. It records what happens. If someone is doing the wrong thing, just say that.

I think, for a long time, Americans have not felt consequences of their decisions. They’ve just done whatever. This is going to be interesting, and by interesting I mean bad.

I propose that countries outside the US should impose tariffs on the US, but they should call them “mad king taxes”. Each time Trump does something stupid relating to that country, they increase by 1%. They go to zero and Trump leaves office.

Many things that are strange in American come from the minimum wage being too low. Tipping culture for example. Just pay people a fair wage rather than adding a tax enforced by shame.

Who Goes MAGA?
With apologies to Dorothy Thompson, whose 1941 essay in Harper’s, “Who Goes Nazi?” remains a worthwhile read on the cultural archetypes of who is drawn to fascism, and who would never go down such a path. It felt like it could use a modern updating, however. Update: Just after I finished writing this, it occurred to me that there was no chance I was the first to think of doing this, so I did a search and sure enough, the writer Talia Lavin had the same idea months ago.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? It's really, really hard to assess whether someone is a good developer. The people who look like good developers are often the worst.

Meanwhile in Ukraine @meanwhileua.bsky.social · 04/06/2025
Ukraine has never bombed refugee camps. Never targeted hospitals or schools. Never attacked journalists or aid workers. Never committed systematic war crimes against POWs. Even under relentless assault, Ukraine holds the moral high ground. That matters. And the world sees it.

One of the current problems in the US is that people hold ideological views regardless of the evidence otherwise. For example, it’s been an idealogical truth with Republicans that the government is inefficient. So there is no need to search for evidence of this.
