Said it thrice and I’ll say it again: these things are a health food.

world war three was caused by the war reparations imposed on the united states by iran at the treaty of geneva

Boat shoe blister season 🎉

The endgame of technology, productivity and wealth is to sit on the beach with an aperol spritz and a beautiful paramour. Or as Europeans call it, a Tuesday.

Host an international competition on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and invite only Team Japan

Great thread 👍👍

Hockey colour commentators: down 2 to 1, with 5 minutes remaining. Anything can happen. Soccer commentators: down 2 to 1 with 63 minutes remaining. Despair for Curaçao.

Really enjoyable jays-yanks series if you’re a bad person with darkness in your soul

What gets me so worked up about tech dbags is that there are so many wonderful sweet brilliant helpful people in tech. Your Wozniaks, your Scott Hanselmans, your Wes Bos types. Ycombinator news full of old-school SV liberals. These dweebs are such a force of good in the world and get shouted over.

I get endless cold-emails selling me something. Was wondering how many of them are human. The answer turns out to be: none. Updated my LinkedIn profile yesterday. 10 monastic messages today, of which this was the best.

It’s happening. 🇨🇦💍🇪🇺

In our not too distant past if trump had called cruz’s wife ugly, honour would have demanded a duel. I can’t say whether duels would be a panacea to society’s ills but at least i wouldn’t have to look at *both* their dumb faces.

Feeling frustrated at the state of our business and political leaders might sharpen my tall poppy shears

Ad astra 😔

I picked a bad day to stop snorting addies

My fiancée had found the perfect gorgeous wedding dress at a charity shop for £15 but the gods of consumer capitalism were not having it.

I dunno man every time i click one of those videos of trump allegedly getting booed it’s pretty ambiguous. Especially compared to any video of, say, Gary Bettman.

Offices increasingly an exercise in ritual humiliation. "We've removed the waste bins because we're paperless; please carry that chocolate bar wrapper home in your pocket. "We don't have enough desks for everyone; please share a chair with that dude with the visibly sweaty ass after biking to work."

"Cormann said it would not be 'ideal' if an EU digital tax were to be implemented, arguing that US multinationals support the principle of having a globally agreed approach rather than a 'proliferation of different unilateral measures'."

Pavement pints weren't allowed before?

Problem with apartment charcoal grilling is what to do with the ashes (she doesn’t mention her strategy). They can be dangerous for up to 24 hours. You can dump water in and create a slurry but then you’re dealing with an awkward heavy wad of mud. Cleaning and storing the grill also a nightmare.

What a fantastic idea! We can use Insta to tell people that the government is like a household! This will help guide voters towards better choices!

"The New York State Common Retirement Fund and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System wrote to SpaceX execs last month to express their “serious concerns”... Both funds hold substantial passive allocations indexed to the US stock market [and] will be forced to buy SpaceX..."

#EconSky Public finance professor at Harvard, Charles Jesse Bullock, taught an advance course with emphasis on the subject of taxation. For 1910-11 Economics in the Rear-view Mirror has transcribed the course description, enrollment, and semester final exams. www.irwincollier.com/harvard-publ...

Only six people at the He-Man premiere. yall missed some truly terrible CGI slop

You’re laughing at Canada’s AI strategy? Evan Solomon is out there tokenizing AI on the blockchain and you’re laughing?

"In Canada, recessions are determined by the Business Cycle Council at the C.D. Howe Institute" Is that a mandate from heaven? Right of conquest? Can we try "one popular barometer whose credibility rests on those who pronounce it..."

Good news, ladies: Richard Dawkins is single again.

No great surprise. MC has a consistent track record of inhaling the WEF’s latest farts.

The Canadian junior hockeyfication of the U.S. presidency is complete 🫡

Never believed that thing about spiders learning our habits but i got home from work five minutes early and caught one leaving the crack under my door like he was clocking out

"the willingness of index providers to amend their rules means the ultimate buyers extend beyond the usual group of consenting adults. "

bish if I didna wanna enable saving i wouldna clicked on "save"

Sound message. Coulda benefited from better examples. Take trusts—to save a bit of tax (only in short run!) they often pay millions to lawyers and spend a decade literally begging judges to access their own money. Surely point of being rich is to not have to beg. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Not complaining and we’re clearly better for it, but going to the gym or for a run has become a basic expectation for functioning adults that eats up scarce off-work hours that older generations instead had for chilling, cooking, building ships in a bottle or whatever

Personally no opinion either way on this one but courts get things wrong sometimes (seemingly often if it’s your area of expertise!) and it’s fine for elected officials to comment on it

I was just mentally mapping out a column on this potentiality

Annoying and useless speculation on my part, but it sure *feels* like in a year's time we'll be doing a post-mortem on how these fast-tracked IPOs [SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI] broke markets and hurried the music to its stop.

Who up buying five-year USD-denominated GoC bonds? www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

New example of the ensuing absurdities when you try to carve out VAT reliefs just dropped

Other funny thing about brits in a heatwave is they haven’t invented top sheet technology yet. It’s full goose feather duvet or nothing. No demure percale layer between them and the darkness. Just their bare ass hanging out where the monsters can get it.

Just picked my 2021 Tungsten cube off the shelf. Totally forgot the intensity of the density.

If you don’t consume microplastics your PFAS get lonely and aggressive

Never understand how DoorDash saves time if you live in an apartment unless you’re willing to make a minimum-wage employee search for your unit and hunt you down. If you have basic empathy there’s a half-hour window you’re distracted and stressed trying to meet them out front. Might as well cook.

I asked AI to expand the margin of Fermat's copy of Arithmetica. The results are truly marvellous!
