Hit my "FIRE" number in May, but have since drawn down. Oh well, still gonna work while the kids are in school FWIW. It could be worse, at least I'm not working with a bunch of Effective Altruists.
Musings, Sometimes

Sometimes I muse. A man's man in the streets, an options trader in the sheets. Foul-mouthed. Christian.
Normalize grotesque, state-sponsored sexual violence against all MAGA men.

Guys, I'm on vacation this week. And I gotta say, walking around interacting with people who don't give a rat's ass about half the shit that gets everyone's panties in a twist here is truly glorious. Highly recommend.

"No Scrubs" is an anti-public transit anthem and I will have no elder millennial playing it in my presence.
Which Bluesky user do you think of when you see this:

James Medlock@jdcmedlock.bsky.social · last wk.As Mike said a few months ago, everyone has an industrial policy plan until they get punched in the face by 'itty-bitty titties and a bob.'
A good read. Also, get an FT subscription if you don't have one. Yes, even if you're a degen.

I've been down a rabbit hole reading this today, as well as all of Anil's previous 24 updates. No work is getting done today over here. Give them a read!

This guy dresses like he's going to get coffee in Palo Alto with a founder all while supposedly making a campaign video for one of the most rapidly decaying states in the country.
Denny Carter@dennycarter.bsky.social · last wk.Sir, for this ad we’re going to have you talk about your campaign promises while swinging a baseball bat for the first time in your life. The heartland will absolutely love it.
Being anon on this site is great and I don't envy people who are here as their real selves, especially if they have big followings. So much time and effort spent defending ideas, people and things (hey, I respect that). In my case, I can just hear something out and go my merry way.
I largely consider the whole "CEO said a thing" form of journalism and the salience attached to over the top statements from top company brass to be a natural progression of "keynote theater", or rather "Stevenote theater", pioneered by Jobs and Apple.
Once again, I am pleading with my corner of Bluesky to stop reskeeting Ed Zitron just to point out that the guy picks PR over finance.

When this administration has run its course I have one thing to say to any Democrat who wants my vote: Normalize grotesque, state-sponsored sexual violence against MAGA men.
Tom Joscelyn@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · last wk.This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.
Still kind of breaks my heart at times but so be it.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
What's happening here has little to do with AI and more to do with structural change in the information sector, which is shedding jobs in legacy industries like telecom, media, and - more recently - motion pictures (covid, strikes, not recovering). The sector is not a good proxy for 'tech' jobs.
