John Snow, Barry Marshall, Semmelweis, Borglum, Galileo. Imagine if we judged people by the content of their character. Prefer facts over “someone’s truth.”

“What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human” David Foster Wallace would have loved the post-cynical wave in pop culture lately.

It’s kind of funny to me how many artists have tried to capture the wyrd magic of Lisa Gerard’s glossolalia from “Gladiator” but can never quite steal that fire from the heavens. Truly a unique talent, when that term has become overused.

@KurtSchlichter - Nice strawman - Importing 3rd World aliens is the American model. The US promoted it with soft power, scolded the Europeans for not adopting it - Washington loves having all that defence spending go through it rather than European hands. US taxpayers may not but no one cares

@Empty_America I, for one, am grateful that that informal ban has held my entire life. Even accepting that nuclear fear porn was overblown for effect, they’re incredibly imprecise weapons that have a good chance of expensively poisoning any land they land on.

This Spotify “Epic Choral Mix” is… really weird. And yet I am enjoying it. Got me again, manipulative algorithm.

The Carmina Burana are amazing because their actual content is pretty louche, but the Carl Orff score makes them sound like battle music from a star empire. Imagine Barenaked Ladies songs done like Sardaukar chants.

@steakmajam @number_pizza111 They’re still reprinting Neal Stephenson, which is at least as “reference rich” & intertextual as Gulliver’s Travels. It’s not “hundreds of years,” yet, but I don’t have to strain my brain to see that people will be looking at Snow Crash as a major work of the age in future.

Mass culture was definitely more intellectual until the invention of the radio or WWII or thereabouts. Just read a chapter of Gulliver's Travels dedicated to mocking Leibniz’s work in symbolic logic, and I find that alien enough that I can’t think of a workable modern analogy.

@SomeBitchIIKnow It’s the PMC solution to everything. Attribute the failings of natural decline that could be fixed with responsible engineering/municipal accountability to “vast & nonspecific forces” that require more managerialism to tame (but in fact just require people to do their paid jobs.)

They’re currently blaming climate change for San Francisco sinking instead of acknowledging that the entire area sits on top of reclaimed landfill and wetlands.

The Colorado river no longer reaches the ocean and they blame climate change instead of dams and diverting irrigation systems.

@SomeBitchIIKnow Also, we don't really have a water problem, we have a wrong type of water in the wrong places problem.

@AlexGodofsky If the sales are priced in dollars, they’ll go through the SWIFT network, which is one of the most potent non-nuclear weapons the US has, and part of the reason for the (fitful) attempts at BRICS alternatives, most of which have failed because of the nature of its member states.

I'm intrigued by "Iran will have difficulty accessing this revenue".
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

Got the lease today. Needed a few adjustments but I will be signing it as soon as I get the new version. I also signed my exit paperwork with the current landlord. I’m officially outta here in sixty-five days. Maybe a few days sooner.
