The scene in Fiddler where Tevye tricks his wife into letting him break off the engagement to lazar wolf is so funny man. Just pure bullshittin to the ol’ ball and chain to help out your daughter

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

It’s funny also that this scandalous behavior is like the most wholesome thing a mayor has ever done. The Knicks won the championship and NYC’s mayor was so psyched about it he started crewing up to play late-night hoops with his bros. That’s the relatability that got him elected in the first place.

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

Kickoff time aside I’ve always found the title of Holy War funny considering the U does not have any specific religious affiliation

News: The Utah-BYU Holy War game on Nov. 7 will be a 10 am local kickoff on ABC or ESPN. That is just brutal for fans for a likely top-10 matchup.

Watching Coyote vs. Acme for the first time (wasn’t able to get to it in theatres). How this was almost shelved by zaslav is still goddamn beyond me

As far as I’m concerned all of these names are procedurally generated

While I have election night plans already, I would have a hard time missing this all star cast.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Well Lula won and Vušić is out but JDub and Cason are effectively KIA for the thunder so. Hard to tell where to place my emotions on this Monday morning

In a sense it’s nice to know that Miller and Vought let him out of the AI Slop News Chamber from time to time and let him be president for the reasons He wanted in the first place (being able to yell about late night TV and have it ostensibly matter)

Once again thinking about the post where it was suggested if you had given him a gossip column in the new York post in 2015 none of this would have ever happened

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

Yeah apparently so

Vivek Ramaswamy's wife: Apparently, Vivek does not support women. Apparently, he is pro-child abuse. Apparently, he doesn't respect doctors.

In general, I love American Gee Whiz Enthusiasm encountering Old World Exhaustion because sometimes it's incredibly, well, funny, as when European intellectuals figured that language is a trap, knowability a chimera, and American intellectuals reacted to this insight with giddy enthusiasm.

Officially ranking Oslo-Gardermoen as the worst place to get an airport beer and burger. Price the determining factor

Extension: the plan to capture all these institutions started like, after Nixon & arguably culminated in Dubya or Trump II. But that’s the end! They’re in just as uncharted territory bc they never envisioned a world where people didn’t like what they did/could speak out against it

They're throwing spaghetti at the wall. It doesn't mean it's not really dangerous - and whatever they try, we'll be prepared to counter - but folks should be clear that this is not some well-orchestrated highly competent plan unfurling.

Very smart and very dangerous people spent their whole lives getting this specific idea of the American political project this far, and because they thought they could pick loud idiots to be the face of it and run a shadow government behind them, they forgot loud idiots are exactly that

22 Oct 1707 (O.S.) // Four Royal Navy ships, part of Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell's fleet returning from the Mediterranean, struck rocks and were wrecked off the Isles of Scilly: flagship HMS Association (90 guns), HMS Eagle (70 guns), HMS Romney (50 guns), and fireship HMS Firebrand (8 guns).

I think this invites a very interesting discussion on what video games actually are in the end. Not elaborating bc I haven’t thought it all thru but are they some giant cultural media advancement or are they just another product that we all got swept up in
