My favorite New Yorker and his lovely wife have had their first baby We couldn’t be happier for you two if we tried. Mom looks incredible after 9 months of baking and 12 hours delivering Congratulations, Shagbark

New Mexico at its finest If you’ve never been here, I just don’t understand what you’re doing with your life


I don’t think this is quite accurate People don’t lack metaphysical reasons to revolt against the Amerifat lifestyle - most of the world’s great religions deal with this as a central topic What they need is a way to overcome their biology and hardwired psychology

Amerifat lifestyle is irresistible because it sounds objectively good. Why wouldn’t you want a bigger house, bigger car, bigger parking lot, bigger highways, bigger stores with infinite options? You need a different metaphysics of reason to resist this madness.

How long to spin is entirely based on the choreography, and the choreography is dictated by the music. Of course it varies like in ballet you might do quick turns traveling across the stage and it’s one turn per count on a 4/4 phrase so in two phrases you’d do 8 turns. Maybe…

Musical taste by SAT score. Much of this is unsurprising — smart people like Beethoven, Radiohead and Sufjan Stevens, while the less bright prefer Nickelback and Beyonce — but some of it is puzzling, like smart people liking Counting Crows. While the way most of the artists…

I hate when Mom and Dad fight in public …


One thing that seems to be missing from the tariff discourse is the realization that countries & companies are unlikely to roll over without a fight and will figure out ways to push production costs down even further Mfg repatriation is not guaranteed


This is the best version yet

Modern people live in a time of unprecedented bounty and comfort. Obesity and inactivity are the hallmarks of this But achieving this level of material prosperity requires a ton of standardization. Straight edges, common Materials, dimensions, colors, etc That’s the trade off

Can someone explain to me why car washes are spreading faster than cancer cells? Are they really that profitable?


If you’re not eating at restaurants where this happens on the reg, you’re doing it wrong.

The most EPIC Bella Ciao FLASHMOB 🤯 The end will blow your mind 😍



In 2006-2008 I remember seeing a lot of grifts about stockpiling precious metals and ammo to prepare for the coming collapse But I’ve seen no prepper grifts for AI-driven human extinction. Are they e/acc? Or do they not know about p(doom)?


It’s got its problems, but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

Weekend's here folks--let's gas it up



Years ago I would bring my daughters to my office. But rather than leave a sign up sheet in the kitchen like a lazy scrub, my girls were there to move merch They would pull a wagon filled with boxes of cookies through the halls. They pitched every office and cube Top producers

This weekend I’m going to be the Girl Scout cookie plug in front of the 7-11. Pull up and holla atya boy. $6 a box. Samoas, thin mints, etc. I gotchu, fam.

How a vending machine can be used to understand the death and decline of a civilization Not a comfortable read at all. But an important one

Moritur Et Ridet Let's speculate for a bit. One day, a future AI historian will be asked to describe the state of human civilization circa 2024, at the end of history, in one line. Being a clever and witty AI, our future historian will no doubt trawl through the memetic detritus…
