I can’t get over this. The film sets you up to *think* that there’s an outside threat and then the reveal is that it’s all coming from inside the house. That is the weight Odysseus is carrying. It may be the chief political thrust of the entire film. Whew.

As the US industrialized, workers and businesses entered protracted labor disputes over what a fair pay increase would be to keep up with the cost of living. Workers thought businesses were gaslighting them about how much prices were going up...🧵

I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

Quote text from article:

Lawyers said the nature of the claims posed undeniable ethics challenges.
"What a travesty," said Bennett L.
Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. "The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don't need a law professor to explain it."

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

At first, I felt like I had freaking super powers. Like a PI with a nearly infinite supply of talented lab members, who worked at 1000x speed. It was exhilarating. But then, the cracks started to show. TL;DR: If Claude were my grad student, I'd kick them out of my lab.

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." -Carl Sagan

There's no question that today's tariff announcement will give the United States the highest tariff rates of any industrialized country. And it's not even close.
