Love economics and sailing. Probably love the economics of sailing as well. If I was capable of shutting up I would have done so already
Seeing some of the $SPCX capex promises for 2027 last night, I think this only ends if markets/investors take the money away.
If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …
…where he slays a troll. A giant eagle then brings two more tiny guys, who as far as you can tell personally defeated the Dark Lord. All four on on nickname-basis with the long-prophesied king who arrived around the same time as the first one

Interesting idea to pick someone who really wanted to be Fed Chair but had no interest in economic forecasting or monetary policy.
Holy crap. This would be huge. And I can only imagine the other members of the FOMC are *pissed www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/b...
Warsh Considers Reducing Frequency of Fed Policy Meetings (Gift Article)
The Federal Reserve has met at least eight times a year for decades. Reducing the number of meetings would represent the biggest change by Kevin M. Warsh since he became chairman.

I think what we’re learning is that the level of power and control a Fed Chair has is a function of how much markets and other key officials trust them. When former Fed officials are trashing you on the record you’re not really in control.

Imagining the lead up to DDay where instead of all the subtle and layered deception operations, FDR just yelled out “GET IN LOSERS, WE’RE INVADING CALAIS” on one of his radio fireside chats
I do miss older politics where we can have real disagreements but still respect the other person. These are not those days
Eric Harvey@ericdharvey.com · last wk.I teach college courses on journalism and over time I've shifted to focusing on non-profits and local startups; the only thing I tell students about corporate media and TV news wonks is that they value class solidarity with the political elite more than anything, that's all they need to know.

Just an absolute shout out to everyone out there who helped manufacture doubt around the question of this guy being a Nazi, particularly after the Nazi salute.
Snigdha@snig.bsky.social · last wk.Tweet from Elon Musk: “Anyone who opposites remigration is a traitor” posted yesterday.
Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
Alright yeah this one is foreshadowing a good ending so I’ll hold onto it.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?
Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · 2w agoRemarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.
christ, our political press are the most pathetic people on earth.
