Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 04/09/2026It's wild that a POTUS -- and someone to whom Wharton saw fit to award a business degree (tho I question whether he did anything there) -- doesn't understand that international trade is *commerce* and that people give us $money$ for things. He really does seem to believe US trade is like charity 😒 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 25/08/2026And there was also the situation where it wasn't so much that the aqueduct wasn't being maintained, it's that it got diverted to the villa of the new local warlord. We're really paying for this old infrastructure built and not maintained under the 20th Century ethos of "well I'll be dead by then." 010

Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 24/07/2026My Odyssey hot take is that Allen Mandelbaum's translation is underrated and quite good. It's more poetic than Fagles and less "freehand" than Emily Wilson's and retains a certain stately and formal quality that I think is important in the context of being an epic but also flows artistically. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Anyways, it looks like we're getting a Wat Tyler movie. Can't wait to see how it ends...🫣 @lollardfish.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BTt...youtube.comThe Uprising - Official Trailer (2026) Andrew Garfield, Jamie Bell, Katherine WaterstonYouTube video by IGN Movie Trailers 1193
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 27/06/2026The fascinating thing about cats is how similarly they all behave yet the last common ancestor of the panthers and the purring cats lived ~15-16 million years ago. That's in the range of gibbons splitting from the rest of the apes and at least twice as old as the split between gorillas and humans. 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Oh, they do the same thing about 1992. The ones who were around back when will do the same thing about Nixon's unscrupulousness and blaming it on 1960 and Truman and Alger Hiss or Joe Kennedy and Chicago or whatever. Racism is definitely front and center with '08 and '12, but there's also... 110
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I really should be a GM given the teams it gave me. 100
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 28/05/2026It really is amazing that the entire GOP now openly runs on the grievances and pathologies of insecure teenage boys. 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 30/04/2026And in a state that's ~1/3 black, with another like 7% Hispanic. What could possibly go wrong? 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Well Americans' relationship to the economy and their job and income has become more complicated than it was 100 years ago or even 30 years ago in many ways. And the crises we've faced the past 25 years are different. Yes, people don't have the "grit" they used to, but also our lives are different. 100
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Eh, they became political dipshits a lot earlier than 2024. The GOP realized after '08 and '12 that "the libs" were better at The Internet™ than they were and so CPAC-type money started getting pumped into YT channels and other new media, which you really started seeing around Fall 2015. 131
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Besides this being an incredibly weird and clunky analogy, it really shows the world in which these goobers live where they conflate capacity with right. It illustrates A LOT about our current situation. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 30/03/2026This is like my 7th grade book report presentation that I neglected for weeks and put together the night before. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Stuff like this makes me very encouraged for this November, but at the same time makes my belief that DJT and Co are going to try to pull some utterly batshit destructive shit during and after the elections even stronger. 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Well yeah, and operationally I'm seeing something akin more to Guadalcanal -- Marines getting marooned in a terrible environment with very tenuous supply lines while getting pounded by enemy guns. Except this time with zero strategic coherence let alone public support for the war. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I mean, the 24th Amendment strictly forbids any tax to vote. Paying the government $200 for a passport or $30+ for a DL, etc, amounts to a (legal) poll tax. If the federal government were to issue passports or IDs to *all* citizens when they turn 18 -- free of charge -- then you'd have a point here. 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 16/03/2026They're in the "content" business. Plain and simple. It's like a Renaissance guild/patronage thing. It's not about "journalism" or at least not when it may conflict with their need for exposure and easy content creation and thus income potential. Trump makes their lives easier and more profitable. 011
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Just drag them across the peninsula like the Vikings. The white nationalist dudebros with the Aryan Brotherhood tattoos currently running this operation should totally approve. 010

Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 22/01/2026This may be the dumbest metaphor ever uttered politically. On pretty much every level. But it also shows Vance is more awkward and bad at this than like Mondale or Dukakis et al. 020
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Well it's a two-pronged issue. One is the border and the other is domestic enforcement/ICE (or lawless enforcement these days). The American public, inc. a sizeable chunk of Hispanic communities, generally is in favor of largely shutting down the border to immigration. But they HATE the ICE Cheka. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Look, all I'm saying is that the Cubs won the 2016 World Series and a week later Trump was elected. If the Bears win the Super Bowl then we're all proper fucked. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 21/12/2025I think this is probably true. I mean, I can remember some of those whacky wins in 2001 and 2006 and stuff, but this is different. Seems like the most important Bears win since January 1986. 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 19/12/2025You want to hand more control of the internet and free speech to THIS government? I've been saying for like two decades now that Durbin is the most useless and out-of-their-depth D sitting in the north wing of the Capitol. Dude couldn't whip cream with an outboard motor. Just retire. 020
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 20/11/2025The only thing Trumps understands or cares about Putin is that he controls A LOT of money and can unilaterally turn the spigot on and point the hose wherever to make it rain. The ENTIRE Trump presidency is about a cash bukkake from dictators and oligarchs and billionaires. 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 19/11/2025"Let's just ignore the entire, like, middle 40% of the Bill of Rights and hope the judge doesn't notice" is a level of incompetence blended with malice that should be mind boggling. But it isn't. Because these people are morons. 020
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 11/11/2025It's textbook narcissism and antisocial behavior. "You're going to thank me for not doing the bad thing that I'm not supposed to do." 010
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 11/11/2025I'd be surprised. My guess is that "compromise" represented some 20-25 D senators. 010

Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 03/11/2025They need to mash on this button like me playing Mortal Kombat in 1993. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Well I'd liquidate everything out of it and donate the proceeds. The steel, the copper, the glass, the chandeliers, the draperies, the flatware, give away the concrete for recrush. Absolutely everything. 000
Lucas W. @lanticavirtu.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I know Cosby ain't something people want to talk about too much, but this scene is an important one and had an effect on me way back then and is I think really relevant.
