Trump is terrifying but he’s got this Icarus flying too close to the sun and it’s aggravating his Alzheimer’s shit going in, I was seeing sparks flying on Marco in my mind

Embarrassing story. One time a nurse called my father’s ex wife for a check in. This man was dying of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. She said he told her he was like 30, and, I quote, “Single, and ready to mingle”

Michael Lewis was really on to something with his recent book that tried to float the thesis that public servants are the closest thing we have in real life to superheroes

Missing my deadline tomorrow is my death on Okinawa in another life

I just imagined the concept of my grandmother being a young woman and my father being an infant and I looked at a box of tricots and thought it pretty profound you can go from being essentially helpless to inventing the triscuit or similar cracker youtu.be/5Le4sGUeXTk?...

This is a stress test of American institutions

Been pretty busy recently. I went to HK in 2010. First and only time, turning my PRC visa over. I’d been on the mainland 3 weeks. There were messages from gain gong stamped on the money. I asked people I worked with about it and they wouldn’t talk about it above whisper volume.

If current trends continue

Two of the most pivotal individuals in my life were Dutch Afrikaners. One helped me get a job that changed my life and then the other answered the phone for the background checkers for the other one. We should be encouraging exchange between South Africa and America instead of what we have now.

I need to learn more about Van Epps. But I will say this: no matter what kind of politician he is, there are no idiots at West Point. He is a West Point man and to the extent he disappoints it will be his personal failure to live up to that reputation.

Writing a love letter to my ML professor to beg to change grading basis to audit

I saw this guy play once in Shanghai and it was so loud I couldn’t hear properly for like a week. Sounded like I had metal rolling around inside my skull whenever there was enough sound afterwards, couldn’t fully understand people talking to me face to face, that sort of thing. Worth it.

Appoint me, nigga

A former DEA agent called the release “devastating”: “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless.”

Really heartbreaking. I wanted to work for State back in the day. Very glad I don’t now. Probably would’ve killed myself.

I found an article about the blog del narco video that basically traumatized me. Don’t watch the video. It’s linked. Don’t watch it though. You have nothing to gain from it, I promise, and you will miss the life you had before you saw it if you do watch it. medium.com/lessons-from...

People on the left think about antisemitism with maybe as much sophistication as people on the right think about racism. Unless it’s in your face Holocaust like shit with people screaming sieg heil and swastikas everywhere it can’t be antisemitism.

Now I get to learn who this guy is. Hope he doesn’t hate Jews too! Bet he doesn’t. That’s more mainstream on the left than the right right now. Yeah, I said it!

Don’t tell me how to live my life
