Reactionary centrists treat “Abolish ICE“ as a metaphysical question of whether immigration enforcement is ever justified. But it is really a practical question—how can you allow a fifth column paramilitary that wants to overthrow democracy to continue to exist in your government?

One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

Gavin Newsom, who allowed this merger to go forward, was credibly alleged of interfering in the state’s lawsuit against Activision / Kotick for sexual discrimination—alleged interference for which his former Chief of Staff is now facing criminal charges over. Just putting that on the table.

screenshot of article text which reads:

But the statue—which now hoists its torch into the sky and teeters, plinthless, on the ground—is not on Starbase property. Nor is it made of titanium, as its sculptors initially planned. Instead, it sits by the side of a Texas road about ten miles away.

Neither SpaceX nor Atelier Missor immediately responded to a request for comment.

Rewarding their months of desperate posting—and real, actual statue construction—Atelier Missor recieved curt recognition from their idol on October 1st.

“Nice work,” Elon posted.

Michael Jordan did a commercial in the early 90s where he said "you better eat your wheaties" but in general, wheaties have often had sports and athetics themed advertising. So there's this latent idea that if you eat wheaties you can accomplish great feats.

J.C. Bradbury @jcbradbury.com · 05/10/2026
Again: No method exists for projecting the economic impacts of sports stadiums. What we do know is that no stadium has ever generated enough new tax revenue to pay for itself. There's a reason you have to hire a paid consultant to come of with these numbers: they're bogus. @gpropheter.bsky.social:
But researcher Geoffrey Propheter, a professor at the University of Colorado-Denver who studies stadium financing, cast doubt on the district looping in businesses that could be miles away from the stadium and calls for incentives that align more closely with the footprint of the stadium itself. Some economists regularly question the touted economic impact of pricey, publicly-supported stadium deals around the country “There’s no way you could draw something this large and with a straight face say, ‘I’m only targeting people who are here because of the stadium,’” he said. “Now, if that was true, your TIF would be only the stadium footprint. Even then, that’s not precise.”

A key insight from Bradbury is not merely that politicians, boosters, and the media misrepresent the public benefits of taxpayer funded stadiums. They really don't care. They're just starstruck. From my review:
What Bradbury understands, and what he does a good job of explaining here, is that even the backers of these projects don't truly believe the economic promises. They offer them because they think they have to in order to justify billions in public investment, but what's really going on is much simpler than that. Mayors, city councilmen, governors and legislators who greenlight these expenditures are, at bottom, simply star struck. They like being invited to parties, press conferences, and rallies with sports executives, athletes, and media stars. They love the free tickets and suite access, especially if a Super Bowl or an All-Star Game is involved. They love being able to campaign on stuff like "we kept the Mudville Nine in Mudville!" even if the Mudville Nine was never going anyplace. It's all about vibes and the perks and the emotional horseshit of sports fandom for these people. Which is fine for any given sports fan but which is something that should not be dictating how our elected representatives spend billions of dollars of our money.

This One Will Be Different is rooted in solid scholarship, but it's an easy and accessible read. And it doesn't just explain the problem – if you're reading this you likely already understand the problem on some level – but in its final section Bradbury offers some potential solutions. They come in the form of recommendations to four distinct groups of people – economists, government decision-makers, the press, and the public – regarding the role each of them can play in helping us achieve better policy outcomes when team owners start saying they need a new stadium. It's truly practical stuff which shows just how passionate an advocate Bradbury is for his cause as opposed to a mere observer. It's a good look for an academic writer as far as I'm concerned, even if we've been wrongfully told that scholars aren't supposed to be advocates.

Most science fiction is about things that are already happening. So when people latch onto the idea that they are cautionary tales about things that might happen someday when technology allows it, they have already lost and fundamentally misunderstood the warning.
