The funny thing about the Jewish safety panic is that those most aggressive about defending Jews against the left often end up saying things about Jews that would make David Duke blush

Vivek Ramaswamy says antisemitism is an

Right. Fortunately, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is looking for a new president...

With the knock-on impact on diesel prices, I assume MS is not screaming "buy" in the trucking and construction industries

My summary of Scott Bessent's latest remarks:

Having grown up in New York City, I certainly cannot use y'all (and I don't). Which is too bad, because it's much friendlier than "youse guys." Compare: "Have lemonade, y'all." (Worst case: It's too sweet.) "Have lemonade, youse guys." (Worst case: I get whacked.)

'Garage bands' was a thing and I would point to groups such as The Sonics and The Monks as important precursors to punk (in addition to The Who, The Kinks and others)

Given that Odysseus is basically the only member of his team to survive, it's hard to view him as anything other than a bad leader (even accounting for the interference of the gods).

Gospel/blues singer and electric guitarist Rosetta Tharpe sold 20,000 tickets to her 1951 wedding-and-concert in Griffith Stadium. It helped revive her career. Supposedly, she sold thousands of tickets to the wedding and then had to find a fiancé. (I recommend her music if you don't know it.)

Mexico has yet to comment on whether it will pay for the wall around the reflecting pool

Who's behind the Reflecting Pool protests? Algae Hiss, of course.

We live in a world where you can get Burger King whopper-flavored Pringles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coffins, so brand extension has destroyed meaning in ways the postmodernists never could have imagined.

This is the fifth straight game where the Yankees bullpen gave up 1+ runs.

Interesting. I do think some financial/business history books go on too long whereas some would be hurt by being much shorter; for instance, I would not have wanted a 300-page version of Bernstein's terrific "Against the Gods." How good are the endnotes/footnotes?

What kept you from rating it from 5 full stars? And what's an example of a 5-star financial history book?

Compelling post! Here's the thing — in today's fast-paced world, genuine engagement is not just about avoiding automated slop, but about embracing authenticity.

We don't get taught this stuff in schools (so far) and it's a shame -- as well as a political choice.

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

Look, I just want my party's candidates for U.S. Senate to not have Nazi tattoos. Is that too high a bar?

This whole thread is very interesting, as is the research paper. Where did you get the stats on AI accounting for 40% of Facebook posts and half of LinkedIn's long-form posts?
