@Empty_America The problem with this is many of these Anglo catholic families are not very wealthy and these Neumann schools are not actually cheap. For the ‘26-‘27academic year, the full estimated cost of attendance at the U Dallas for undergrad is $79,160 for on-campus students.

One thing that we already see in Anglo-American Catholicism (for better or worse) is the centrality of the UNIVERSITY in Catholic life. Young Catholics meet their spouses at Catholic colleges or the Campus Parish. Going away to college is socially load-bearing.
VB Knives@Empty_America

Related to this, consider that we don't even know what the mature form of Anglo-American Catholicism is in a cultural sense. As WASP "mainline" protestants come back into union with the Catholic Church, they don't suddenly become cultural Italians, nor should they.

I grew up in Louisville (pronounced Lulvul) until 5th grade and remember Derby week. We did all sorts of stuff about it in school. My parents have these old 90s derby glasses at their house and they are so sweet. When we moved up north it was kind of strange because it felt like we were kind of the only ones who paid attention to it really. Or at least a minority. It’s a mundane observation but I kind of realized over time that Derby seemed to be more appreciated or enjoyed by southerners. My parents still watch it and have Mint Julips and always ask us to send in who we hope to win for a little pool of bets we make. My parents are both from Michigan though because we lived in Louisville the derby just kind of stuck.

NYT: As Kentucky Derby Becomes a Bigger Business, Locals Feel Left Behind - Locals say rising ticket prices and a late start time for the Oaks race on Friday are hurting residents and restaurants. “The only thing I see is greed,” one steakhouse owner said. nytimes.com/2026/05/01/bus…

I suspect NYC is old enough, rich enough, great enough by now to be immortal. Not immune to rise and fall, but immortal all the same. The great cities outlast their empires: Damascus, Paris, London, Baghdad, Beijing. Save for the true end, there will always be a New York City.

Attempted to watch "Transformers" (2007). It may be the single worst film ever made, at least before the Marvel era. Like if an alien had been forced to watch 10K hours of American cable TV and then been instructed to make the ultimate movie, the final movie.

I Haven’t thought about eBay in over 10 years. They’re still doing $10B+ in revenue. Serious question: Who is actually using it?

Do billionaires hold tens of millions in cash at banks? (Considering it’s a tiny fraction of their net worth) Do they not care about being over the FDIC limits? Do they just have so much money that it doesn’t matter?

@zachklein That is fascinating. It appears to be a myth that the CA seismic code prevents stone houses. I assume there is some interesting engineering that went into getting those plans approved.

Someone is selling a flour mill in Normandy that sits on its own private island, with two waterfalls. It was first recorded in 1398. The mill was owned through the Middle Ages by the Le Veneur family, and rebuilt in the 19th century into the red-brick flour mill you see in the first image. It has been lived in ever since, which is probably the most remarkable thing about it. 4 bedrooms, 242m² (2,607 sq ft) of living space across multiple levels, with a 72m² living area on the top floor. It also includes an indoor swimming pool which tbh I did not expect. The original millstone is still sitting on the island by the way. So is a beehive. To get to the front door you cross a small stone bridge over one of the waterfalls. A short walk the other way takes you to a second narrow island of 220m², which leads directly into the forest. Asking price: €349k ($409k). The waterfalls are included. Presumably some form of hydroelectric power is possible, but I'll leave that to people smarter than me.

@TheNotoriousHRT Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution likely would prevent it. At least so long as the pope retains his role as pope, which is probably considered a "Title" of a forein nation, the Vatican

So, basically, if Anthropic was not a US company, we’d be facing zero days with multiple unknown points of attack on virtually all of our systems to an adversary who developed this capacity before us.
