What brought this to mind? Something about them has always seemed weird tbh. Also how do you feel about rideshare apps and pizza delivery that predated the apps?

Today's real answer is "If you are lucky, you can have opportunity. Depending on your luck, working hard may help somewhat. Opportunities may have broadened over centuries, but no one really knows how to make it happen again. Change is hard, success brings comfort, and comfort discourages trying."

And yeah, the media really was and continues to be that complicit. The most astute bet the GOP has made (since at least GWB) is banking on the media to fold over and over. Push comes to shove, most journalists choose paychecks and health care. Not even surprising anymore.

👇🎯 It was all obvious to anyone truly paying attention at the time, but now, in 2026, it's obscene to look back on the staggeringly shameful & fundamentally unserious nature of our National Conversation™️ in 2022-24 about Joe Biden, 🇺🇸 politics, & the two parties' positions on the political spectrum:

6. If you want to boycott something meaningful and directly connected, maybe start with the chickenshit corporate media that paved the way to this mess and is clearly systemically incapable of drawing a principled line. Or get off twitter and instagram (and bluesky too if it goes that direction).

5. Unless you have $1000 seats, the games are best watched on TV anyway, which is the only option for ~everyone on the planet. Why ruin that month for 3 billion people who had no vote and won't be here? Seems weird to sacrifice their joy to flail at an American problem in the most roundabout way.

3. The US signed up to host an event the world cares about, which is a real responsibility. Flipping the table doesn't do us any favors on the world stage.

4. Have you seen ticket prices? With unlimited resale, it's mostly 1%ers attending. Asking other countries to boycott won't empty the stadiums.

Evidently these other guys go to fancy events a lot more than me.

I have been trying to come up with a reason to buy a tri-corner hat. Can you help me?

Any predictions that stand out as particularly unsubstantiated? Or any good/interesting ones?
