i was pretty pumped for east of eden series, but once i realized its only 7 eps (which probably means losing ~10-20% of the story) i decided that, if i am going to watch something that just makes me mad about wasted potential, i am going to rewatch american gods instead. at least they had an excuse.

the biggest problem with a phillips curve / NAIRU theory of inflation is that upper middle class americans (the ones that cause 90% of inflation) dont buy stuff with wages, they buy stuff with asset revaluation. and the more assets revalue, the higher the more stuff they want to buy

it’s gonna be real funny watching tech people learn in real time just how good contractors and tradespeople are at separating you from your money when you dont want to, or dont know how to, do things in the real physical world. who do you think pays for all those fishing boats and 80k pickup trucks?

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

This is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state

miamiherald.com

Catholic bishops remind attorney general about separation of church and state

“The government may not decide that Church teaching is insufficiently religious,” wrote the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.

i know it’s technically YA but we are about a quarter of the way through The Wee Free Men and, while it does require a lot of stops for new vocab/concepts and to make sure we are keeping track of the bigger picture, it has gone surprisingly well for what is admittedly a harebrained choice for a 5yo

reading update: been a bit of a slog lately. we re-read the lion the with and the wardrobe, which i honestly can’t stand (and not because of the jesus stuff). Almost done with book 1 of The Sisters Grimm which I would really recommend for older kids but it’s too much fantasy meta for a (almost) 5yo

the unfortunate truth of the matter with oil and byproducts is that in the short run access will be rationed with price and in rich countries consumption wont really change and consumers will just eat the cost but in poor countries there will be demand destruction and possibly rationing.

i am so tired of discussions of risks of loans against private credit that neglect to mention the minimum and current levels of collateralization. in the case of CLOs there’s also the triggers (overcollateralization and interest coverage test) which can divert interest to extinguish senior tranches.

generally the rule with the global economy is that it can get through a really bad thing happening, many bad things happening in a lot of places, or a bad thing happening that lasts for a long time. its the combinations of those when the wheels really start coming undone

It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie, and then when you don't need it anymore you tell them another lie and tell them they're progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they'll find the truth

yes. people use “skill” but the only real measurements we have are wages and prestige, and the latter is quite fuzzy. when you actually want to be serious instead of just spit takes on the internet the correct nomenclature is low- and high-prerequisite employment, because that is how hiring works.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing." They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

i hate to be all like “decline of culture” but, god damn, kids’ TV (outside apple TV+) has sloppified worse than any other genre. And don’t reply “what about bluey?” bc that’s not a show for kids, thats a show for parents produced so that kids don’t mind watching it and i will not debate that point.
