En el Four Freedoms de hoy, el tradicional predictómetro, edición 2025, en el que hago un repaso a todas mis predicciones recientes y si he acertado o no. Mejor que otras ediciones, con algunas pifias. open.substack.com/pub/4freedom...

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

@4freedoms.es: "creo que está claro, a estas alturas, que lo de “ser un dictador” no era una broma. Trump hablaba en serio" www.4freedoms.es/p/el-predict...

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

Losing men (suck) AND white people (also suck) is catastrophic for a Republican lmao get rekt

This - which sounds to me like he substantially wrote it himself - is a more complete version of the statement from the other night, which means, in effect, "Move on me and none of us are getting out of here alive."

Este artículo ha envejecido extraordinariamente bien. www.4freedoms.es/p/es-trump-r...

Wrote a 2400-word newsletter and a 1200 really friggin technical op-ed about railroads this afternoon. Took me six hours, both in Spanish. When I get going, I can write. For tomorrow, if I can, I have a 700-word op-ed in Spanish, and a 900 piece in Catalan. I am quite busy before my vacation.

The perfect example of why towns can’t be left to their own devices. 1 YEAR OF HEARINGS! 27 CONDITIONS PLACED ON APPROVAL! All for 96 apartments, and the P&Z is vowing to “amend its zoning rules to prohibit similar projects moving forward.” www.newhavenindependent.org/2025/12/22/9...

You may not believe that building new housing lowers rents, but your landlord does:

Grandpa is now a naval architect. What could possibly go wrong.

Can anyone explain to me why this fucking website exists? annas-archive.org Just a quick search and my book is there, on PDF, available for download for free. Almost any book I can think of, really. What the fuck?

Make electricity cheaper and less polluting? Nope. Trump would prefer it be expensive and rely on polluting fossil fuels. Attempting, illegally, to pause in-flight projects is a crazy war on Americans.

Hay que insistir en que si el PIB estuviera creciendo en España al ritmo de Alemania o Francia, muchas personas lo estarían pasando mucho peor. Lo mismo si hubiera 20 millones de afiliados a la Seguridad Social en vez de 21,8. Por todo eso de que la macroeconomía no influye en la vida de la gente.

This.

If you needed more evidence that Bari Weiss isn't the sharpest crayon in the box, the fact that she (a) personally spiked the story (b) in a way that left her fingerprints all over the decision (c) at the last possible minute, thus guaranteeing maximal exposure and blowback.

Via @liamjscott.bsky.social at the other site here’s the full email from 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. She’s putting her career on the line by fighting here. And she’s fighting for all of us.

CBS News postponed a "60 Minutes" segment Sunday because it lacked a Trump admin interview, per an email we obtained from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who said the decision by EIC Bari Weiss gave the White House a "kill switch." with @liamjscott.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Headlines that cause the rest for the world to spit-take.

He is genuinely pushing for this.

On a related note here is a photo of Barbra Streisand’s house.

UPDATE: in point of fact there is not an innocent explanation for this.

It is only cheaper because the US has absolutely insane construction costs, to be honest. It is more environmentally friendly, however.

No media org has ever set its credibility on fire so quickly.

El PSOE debería probar la sofisticada estrategia política de presentar a candidatos con carisma.

Your daily reminder that you should NEVER ask an AI to do something you don’t know to do yourself for ANYTHING remotely important. (It is fine as a toy, like I make fun cute little software programs. But anything that actually matters? DO NOT TRUST THE ROBOTS)

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

La roja más estúpida y merecida en años. No sé qué demonios estaba Veiga pensando. A Yamal que lo cambien que hoy le matarán.

I would like to volunteer Andrew Tate for another fight. Seriously, seeing him fight was awesome. Go Andrew. More of this. Big fan.

First question on KGB cognitive test is also a picture of lion, giraffe, fish & hippopotamus. They beat the shit out of you until you say the giraffe is the hippo. Explains a lot tbh.

En Four Freedoms, exploramos un poco las tradiciones, política, y cultura de esto de hacer carreras en circuitos ovales durante horas, y sobre cómo Michael Jordan (si, el de los Bulls) quizás ha salvado este deporte. Bienvenidos a NASCAR: www.4freedoms.es/p/salvando-a...

My wife thinks it is weird I use kitchen scissors to cut pizza. Am I crazy? They work really well!

Hoy Four Freedoms no va de política, sino del más AMEEEERICAAA de los deportes americanos: NASCAR. La historia de cómo Michael Jordan (sí, el de la NBA) ha salvado NASCAR. Probablemente. open.substack.com/pub/4freedom...

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Kudos to Mitt Romney, whom we exposed for his "47 Percent" comments, for coming to the conclusion that "we have reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more." gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...

Man, America is a weird place

Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.

Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should be impeached over this.

Fitting that the Donald J. Trump Elise Stefanik announced her political retirement the same day as the Donald J. Trump Department of Justice partially releases the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Files.

It would have been MUCH cheaper, and saved a ton of lives, to just equip firefighters with modern, decent gear. But noooo, manly men mentality and outdated equipment were the way to go. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Trump va demolir l’Ala Est abans que ningú pogués protestar, convertint-la en un solar per construir-hi un saló de banquets gegant finançat per donants. Una obsessió presidencial que coincideix amb una caiguda d’aprovació fins al 35 %. Per @4freedoms.es.
