We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

I was on All Things Considered last week, talking about Cornell—and what gives me hope: "Young women aren't just accepting this as a given—they see it as outrageous, they see it as unacceptable and they're not willing to just sort of shut up about it.” Listen to the full conversation:

Come now! That is affordable compared to the Petone-Grenada farce that they will surely return to if re-elected. That's $472 million per kilometre. At $2.6 billion, it's also more $$ than the Greens' costing of light rail stage 1 in either Wellington ($2.15 bn) or Auckland ($2.25 bn). #nzpol

Econ 101

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Chancleta has been endorsed by a family of three random raccoons who saw him from outside. One of them even stood on our patio chair on two legs, like a person. This is incredible news for Sandal's campaign to represent whatever it is he is running for.

A mock political endorsement graphic on a blue gradient background. At the top left is a photo of three raccoons beside the words “A FAMILY OF THREE RANDOM RACCOONS.” Below, red text reads “PROUDLY ENDORSES,” followed by “CHANCLETA” in large white letters. At the bottom right is a large photo of Chancleta, an orange-and-white cat looking directly at the camera.

I think even the most generous observer of that debate, who might have thought the men were level-pegged, surely would have handed the victory to Hipkins as Luxon flailed over international law. No, dude, that is not how international law works, and a genocide is a genocide. You don’t need the […]

Emphatic win for Hipkins over Luxon in #TVNZ Debate. Swing voters showed that political pundits are out of touch. ACT advisor Ben Thomas said Luxon won, Harman lamented a lack of fireworks, ditto The Post staffer. Politics shouldn't be about performance but NZ media covers it like a circus #nzpol

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.

Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label.

A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.
