I will fucking die mad that we let the stupidest people in society with medieval peasant brain ruin recognizing what should have been a moon landing level triumph

It's really important this. Not just because I'm a smug cyclist. Huge health effects.

The story with viral TikToker “hated for being American” went like this:

Kevin Warsh has tapped two outside associates as advisers—in as temporary contractors for now. Both are budget policy specialists, and one wrote the Fed chapter of Project 2025, which endorsed a radical restructuring of the central bank.

Two things here. First is that the actual decision making is always a bit hidden (esp parent side : will YOUR kids not go then?). Second is these 'degrees suck' are often pitched in isolation, as if the lack of opportunities downstream is a mysterious thing (instead of the zero growth story again)

Hollywood has been threatening to remake the John Carpenter-Kurt Russell dystopian classic for years now, but this one might actually happen.

God, reading about UK politics is depressing. There is a massive, coordinated media attack on Net Zero, led by the RW press (& accelerated by Musk's X). It is *wildly* out of sync with public opinion, but it is slowly working, convincing even labour MPs that the public is more right than it is.

Accepting an award for political courage, former Fed Chair Jay Powell names no president and speaks in lofty generalities.   But he gets specific about one point: that letting a president remove Fed officials over policy disagreements would end the central bank as we know it.

I wrote about the SpaceX IPO. I'm not impressed. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Powell: If any administration finds a way to remove Fed officials over policy differences, then future administrations will do so.... The public would lose faith that the central bank will make decisions based only on what's best for all Americans. Fed's credibility would be lost. shorturl.at/30SDt

Really just jumping straight to skynet huh

Damn, I wish I'd thought of this. You see it with how all successful politicians, in basically any era, are playing a role - the role generally has to have a grain of truth to it but it has to fit the stereotype.

One day I will stop watching Arsenal celebration compilations. Today is not that day.

I think there's something under-explored to this, but my first question is if it's different now than in the past in the US - dot com, barbarians at the gate, robber barons, wild cat banks, snake oil. Feels like it's in the foundational DNA sometimes...

Good to see a minister push back against the content of the Blair piece. Particularly on the incredibly lazy "taxes have risen because of benefits" stuff.

Blair putting on full display what is in many ways his special ability - to lay out a political argument grounded in his own view of global trends (globalisation in the 2000s, tech in the 2020s). But… institute.global/insights/pol...

Paris airport terminal transfer system is mental. Forking networks of busses, baffling to disentangle

Bezos says that the US has one of the most progressive tax codes. This is true by some measures. But our tax and transfer system reduces inequality far less than countries with broader tax systems. Tax cuts can't help people who don't have an income, but a generous tax financed welfare state can.

MASSIVE fan of this one:

Not a single mention of the climate crisis anywhere. You would think extreme weather conditions would be a good opportunity to educate the public, but clearly not.

Genuinely think this will appear in textbooks as a massive misselling scandal. Directly seeking to use passive index investors as unwitting counterparties to pay out sophisticated investors in a loss-making Frankenstein’s monster of a business.
