I know that this is supposed to be a triumph of red state governance but I’m convinced that once these cities sprawl as much as LA and have to face the choice to densify … everyone will become California (see also: other states’ property tax revolts)

Every single one of the 15 fastest-growing US major metropolitan areas is in the Sunbelt. All 15 are also in a state Trump won. Only 5 are in swing states. Dallas and Houston added an entire Wyoming's worth of people.

@GerberKawasaki LA is a 3rd world “country.” I hate when I have to drive there. It’s a dump

China is attempting to do the impossible. The construction of 123 km underwater tunnel, the Bohai Strait Tunnel is on and it will cost China $42 billion. On completion, the high speed transport system will reduce travel time between Dalian and Yantai from 8 hours to only 40 minutes. It will be the longest underwater beating 53.85 km Seikan Tunnel.

@Scott_Wiener A Senator from CA talking about wasting taxpayer money is cute.

Trump is once again proposing to destroy Alcatraz — a globally popular tourist attraction — by wasting billions to turn it into some sort of prison gulag. It’s an absurd, idiotic idea, a complete waste of taxpayer money, and yet another sign of Trump’s dementia. Back off.

@runliftrunlift I am a very untalented runner. Was able to run with more talented runners just by running more volume. Over 3,000 miles a year in my late 50's. Times were still pedestrian, but good enough to run Boston multiple times. Could never have done that without the volume.
English
The fitness jump from 20 to 30 miles per week (32 to 48 km) up to a consistent 40 miles (64 km) is massive.
When runners ask about workouts and getting faster, I usually ask back, “Have you ever put together 3 to 4 months of consistent 40 mile weeks?”
If the answer is no, that’s your answer to getting faster.
Not new workouts or more workouts. More consistent volume.
It takes time. If your true easy pace is around 9:30 to 10:00 per mile (5:55 to 6:12 per km), you’re looking at roughly 6 to 7 hours of running per week.
That’s the buy-in. It’s a commitment, no doubt.
But for a lot of runners, the move to 40+ mile weeks, held consistently for several months, is exactly what takes them to the next level.
English
@runliftrunlift This is exactly right. People think there are magical workouts to getting faster when “time on feet” is like 80% of the solution. (of course workouts are still important, but need a strong base first).

@WinnerInvestor That’s fine. Just didn’t want anyone to be lead astray by the conveniently cut-off quote. Tbh I don’t really have an opinion on MW.

@bboygaf I listened to the whole thing. This MF is dirty. Just because he does not like what the common business practices are it does not mean there is fraud or misrepresentation. He is a piece of shit.

@LukeGromen Hate to say it, but I think the criticism is directionally correct. Bad headline for China?=problem for everyone. Bad headline for the U.S.?=problem for the U.S. Alt take: This could provide leverage in pushing China to try and force a deal with Iran/U.S.
English
This would only be a problem if China is the factory of the world and if there were semiconductors in most consumer goods these days.
Oh wait…

Can someone help me answer this- how come Bank of America has to pay a settlement for sex trafficking when there has been ZERO arrests for sex trafficking? How does that work?
"A federal judge gave preliminary approval for Bank of America Corp.’s $72.5 million settlement of a lawsuit with a group of Jeffrey Epstein victims who had accused the bank of aiding the disgraced financier’s sex trafficking.
US District Judge Jed Rakoff made the decision Thursday following a hearing in New York federal court. Victims will have the opportunity to object at a final hearing scheduled for Aug. 27. David Boies, a lawyer for a woman who filed the class-action suit, said 60 to 75 people would be eligible to share the payout."

I love LA but its decline is indisputable.
-Awful leftist policies; Bass is criminally incompetent
-Tech has disintermediated content: Hollywood no longer calls the shots on cultural tastes
-Lack of tech infrastructure & human capital to benefit from AI boom

I was speaking at The Getty Center back in October and was blown away by how bad Los Angeles had gotten. Sunset boulevard, where I used to live, was full of “for lease” signs all over the place. It felt so eerie. And I say that as someone who lived in West Hollywood throughout the 2010’s. LA in the early 2010’s and probably 2000’s in general was so much fun. The best parties. Everywhere you went, people were shockingly beautiful and health conscious. It slowly started deteriorating in the late 2010’s only for the nail in the coffin to happen during COVID. When I bring it up, people are like “what do you mean, LA is great!” And they live in like Silverlake or wherever. You cannot compare how incredible of a city LA was to how it is today. And it’s a shame because California is such a beautiful state. You land and the air is mesmerizing. “LaLa Land” really was the last ode to what made Hollywood magical and they snubbed it for best picture just to nail it in the coffin.

@POLITICOEurope Trump has achieved a miracle…
He’s driving the world away from oil & gas…. And into Green Energy.
He’s driving the world away from dollar hegemony.
& the EU is walking away from military reliance on a complete tyrant.
Buy some Euros while they’re cheap???
