My most controversial opinion;
If you’re a tankie for modern PRC you’re just a next generation Atari democrat.
This goes to both the based urbanism/abundance guys who are impressed by China and the American socialists.

Overall mood at #latechweek feels like the real death of an era. I don’t think a majority of “tech evangelicals” are optimistic about ai now.

@edzitron.com Are you going to talk about any of the new "AI SEO" Startups which seem like theyre doing pretty naked fraud. They cant actually influence how AI companies train or search data unlike how old google SEO (for all its problems) worked.

If Mamdani had checked just Asian or say, Asian and white (bear with me) NYT would never have run that story.
The only reason they ran that story is because of the cultural belief that being Black gives you leg up in society despite research that says that isn't true.

Absolutely absurd. The B-2 is a strategic bomber that's designed to deliver airstrikes inside China or Russia in a major war. Compromising that capability in order to give bombs to Israel is an insane decision.
We are not giving Israel B-2s, this is an absurd piece of legislation…
U.S. Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Mike Lawler, R-N.Y introduced the bipartisan Bunker Buster Act, which authorizes President Trump to supply Israel with B-2 stealth bombers and 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

Unironically Mandani is a victory for policy experiments. More people were excited or angry over a token city grocery store compared to twisting the knife on him about specific policing policies that might of divided more of his base.
People need to run on more fun small policy ideas.

Arguing that USAID funding shouldn’t be restored because it’s “US propaganda” or “imperialist” despite the projected death toll in the millions is like arguing that running through a hospital pulling the plug on every patient you can find is a protest against for-profit healthcare.

There's a world where Dems won the House 218-217 in November and Rs now have a working majority bc Grijalva and Turner died.
Sorry to be unsentimental but I just don't respect people who run for office in their 70s after cancer diagnoses. Move on. Spend time with your family.

Fitting the "gerontocracy is all of our problems" theme of the moment, the margin between elected republicans and democrats in the house is razor thin, but deaths and hospitalizations among the democrats artificially increase the GOP margin and will until those seats can be filled by younger reps.

It is very funny that NYT let noted trade columnist Paul Krugman walk like six months ago or whatever because he wanted to produce too much trade content for their taste
