Was lucky enough to read this to blurb and as I wrote, few books have made me angrier. Incredible reporting and analysis.
THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

The first #AdventOfCode 2025 puzzle comes out in about five hours! What's your plan? What language(s?!) are you using? What's your IDE of choice and why is it Vim? Do you have a comfy chair? Did you check out the beta release of Lua 5.5? How much sleep have you gotten? Drinking enough water? 🌟 ❤️ 🎄

Just watched Twin Peaks S1 and S2 with my wife and piled straight into S3. While I don't like to be a cognitive sommelier I did spend a bit of time saying some people had to wait 25 years

a remake of austin powers, set in 2027 in which austin awakens after being frozen in 1997, and struggles to deal with the changes (no headphone jack, locked out of hotmail for inactivity, geocities page offline, sega no longer make consoles, etc)
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.
