I spelled out "superpower suicide" in this essay from May 2026. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.

This is the nut graf here to me. The MLB needs to be fierce and put on a full-court press here, and they almost certainly won't, which means it will be open season on a sports league which relies on Latin American players to make billions.

at one point, Republican elites viewed Fox News as useful for riling up the masses, but now we have a generation of elected officials who have been raised on it and are incapable of viewing it as right wing entertainment and instead view it as factual.

Now that norms are flushed down the toilet, what stops the next con man from running for POTUS solely to make billions off the office? Or any elected office for that matter? "Run for office - get rich!" doesn't seem very American to me. Happy Fourth.

Japanese dude goes to America for the World Cup and discovers bottomless chips and salsa

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and l intend to honor all of it.

This is very key to me as to why having an extremely dominate video first information economy “dumbs you down”…the amount of information you can take in on a particular topic is significantly less than what you can learn if you read (barring you can read decently) for the same amount of time

I think a lot about 1) the WHCD shooting falling instantly out of the discourse and 2) the instant admin/GOP demand that the ballroom be built to prevent another shooting also falling away. People just move on from stuff that doesn't affect them very quickly.
