A related point is that the uber wealthy love this not only because it allows them to keep their wealth but also because it commodifies the pursuit of knowledge and turns it into another possession, a status symbol, rather than a basic human right and common good.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

On this day in 1984, The Replacements released Let It Be, A post-punk masterpiece of guitar fury, hooks, and lyrics designed to break your heart and give you hope. The cover art is a photo of the band sitting on the roof of Bob and Tommy Stinson's mother's house. Best album ever.

Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."

There is a scene in “Hell on Wheels” where Durant sells Psalms a worthless piece of land in Laramie, WY. Psalms just wants a little piece of the American Dream, and Durant a con man, just wants to make a quick buck off of a hardworking man who doesn’t have insider knowledge. That is America.

Unpopular take: there is nothing you’ll learn as an undergrad at an Ivy League or other prestigious private school that is worth $300k more than what you’ll learn at a good public university. You bought influence, not knowledge. #scammed #ivyleague #publicuniversities #yougotscammed #columbia

really interesting that we don’t have a cultural panic about group think and intellectual homogeneity among the most powerful money men in the country. all the more interesting when a bunch of them have clearly lost their mind.
I wrote about venture capitalist Shaun Maguire, his accusations that Zohran Mamdani is a "secret Islamist," and his emergence as a leading right wing voice in the tech industry.

Shaun Maguire's posts about Zohran Mamdani shocked many. Not the people who know him.

Jerome Powell quietly warned there'd be places in the US where you ‘can’t get a mortgage’ — and he’s not wrong
Mortgages may be harder to get in some states right now.
