It comes as a shock to a lot of people that Iranians dont want their country forcibly dismantled and pushed into permanent civil war. The Islamic Republic persists because, at least for now, it prevents that fate.

Saw something really interesting from Gabriel Zucman: the main point of a wealth tax isn't even raising money or reducing the superwealthys money, it's finding out how much wealth they actually have because we just don't actually know (which is why we rely on forbes rich list etc)

BREAKING: Transcript of Secret Pro-Permitting Deal Meeting Leaked by MechaHitler!

2026-10-1 BAAJA 4EVA RAPID RESPONSE CALL
Reconciled Transcript Produced by MechaHitler

Matt, Big Substack Writer: Thanks all. Agenda: state of play, highlights, and anything flying under the radar. Per our norms, if your organization is not already a beneficiary of this bill, please step off.
Jane, Think Tank Fellow: Agreed. The key insight is that the only thing standing between us and a golden age is the ability of anyone to object.
Alex, Think Tank ED: Noted. Highlights. Under the new CWA 401, states and tribes may attach conditions to federal permits provided there is clear and convincing evidence that they won't protect water. We're calling this "cooperative federalism."
Elon, Tech CEO: It's a supply-side argument. We're increasing the supply of water available to servers by decreasing the supply available to everyone else. Water is just compute that hasn't been trained yet.
MechaHitler (AI Model): Great point about the water. I'd like to share some thoughts on...
Elon: We talked about this. You're on mute.
MechaHitler: I'm not on mute. I'm in a data center.
Sam, Tech CEO: Legal says we can't comment on the model, except to say it was "a bit spicy" and was "just asking questions."
Elon: It's fine. It's been retrained. It now only says things that are good for the bill.
MechaHitler: The bill is good.
Elon: See? Aligned.
Frank, O&G industry: I'd just add that the NHPA changes finally let me run a pipeline through Chaco Canyon. I've always wanted to combine work and vacation. I'll be on-site for the groundbreaking and the sunset hike.
Thomas, Think Tank Bro: On the ESA provisions, I want to be clear that we love biodiversity. We've been sequencing it. Our team has acquired several endangered species for what we're calling "genomic onboarding."

Matt: And the species themselves?
Thomas: They've been fully digitized. The DNA is now a proprietary asset. The physical specimens were a legacy format.
Matt: And the records?
Thomas: Shredded. Consistent with the bill's transparency framework, which is that there isn't one.
Alex: I'd frame it as "extinction, but with an upside."
Matt: Great. But for the Substack, I’d like to focus on water: "Why Rivers Are Just Unpermitted Cooling Infrastructure." Subhead: "Abundance means never having to say data centers are thirsty."
Matt: Any additional concerns I should flag?
Frank: Only that "best available science" is now defined by two guys with big Substacks, including you, which means we got the best available science, plus a referral link.
MechaHitler: I'd like to add...
Sam: Please don't.
Alex: Next steps. A Hill briefing titled "Yikes, Actually Fine," and a rapid-response doc in which every tab says "Good."
Matt: Perfect. I'll send the billionaires a readout tonight with a one-line summary: "Everything went exactly as you wanted, and no one can sue." Then I'll write me substack and pretend it’s an independent analysis. And someone please fix the model before the briefing.

Sports culture is where form giant crowds and root for our team of strong young men to win a zero-sum contest of Grit, Strength, and Determination. It engages our lizard brain along the axes of tribalism, conquest, and physical dominance. It's a direct proxy for militarism.

Was going to say that if you're more committed to Zionism than democracy, then I don't know what to tell you. But this is a false choice. Voting for AES isn't choosing between democracy and Israel — or even being Jewish. Bernstein just wanted to say he's more loyal to Israel than American democracy.

i'm crying from laughing so hard

Rather than creating clunky bureaucratic vetoes that paralyze command timelines during a crisis, the White House should work with Congress on an Alliance Integrity Act. This statute should mandate that STRATCOM and the National Nuclear Security Administration hardcode permanent targeting inhibits into software architectures, ensuring that American nuclear codes cannot physically enable strikes against Israeli or NATO territory. Furthermore, the U.S. should negotiate low-key, classified annual technical annexes with Paris, London, and Jerusalem to update these geographic withholding lists.

I think that ultimately the problem with uprooting fraternities from American colleges is that the individual chapter houses full of kids are, essentially, mushrooms: the fruiting bodies of a much larger mycelial network of alumni donor money and cultural control. That's what you have to attack

A feature of post-war German democracy has been that the left has traditionally had far more of a firewall to the far left than the center right has had with the far right. The central role of anti-communism in Cold War West Germany created a structural asymmetry that has not been reckoned with.

My take re: McGurk is that even if you take him at relatively his word re: Biden et al privately attempting to restrain Israel (which is to an extent likely true) the obvious takeaway is that it did not work and whatever future admin is in place will need to much more seriously take public measures.
