When I die, which is a thing that will happen, I would like for people to remember and cherish the time I’ve spent with them, rather than speculate about my replacements because I’ve long overstayed my welcome

@npub17yf…8udh Vingo is nice, but he's definitely got a killer streak. Can't wait to see next year's Tour, which seems increasingly likely (bar injuries) will have all the biggest names in cycling of our generation go all out to dethrone Jonas from the podium

@npub17yf…8udh it looks like they pulled back though once the fans got wind of it, which was the right call, especially after all Kuss did for them in the Giro and the Tour (and more). But you know with these riders, them ponies just gotta race -- its hard to stop them sometimes

Amazing to see the future complete disintegration of the “moderate” wing of the GOP nationally happening today in Texas

Lots to learn here
“Those who want to live in Tokyo generally can afford to do so. There is little homelessness here. The city remains economically diverse, preserving broad access to urban amenities and opportunities. And because rent consumes a smaller share of income, people have more money for other things — or they can get by on smaller salaries — which helps to preserve the city’s vibrant fabric of small restaurants, businesses and craft workshops.”

As an ex-physicist this is confusing, just because it seems like a profound challenge to Samuelson, Afriat, and the rest of revealed preferences, but pulls back at the last minute to preserve GARP by rationalizing these changes back into a preferences-oriented utility function.

The problem with overbuilding ground floor retail is that we have few ways to connect people, financially and operationally, who would love an extension of their social life, creative practice, or hobby into these shared spaces. #SanFrancisco

“To the contrary, property owners may find a tax benefit in writing off vacant retail space. And they may be wary of lowering rents to fill those spaces, for fear of admitting to investors that a building’s profitability has declined” #SanFrancisco

This is good, because it can lead to lower commercial rents, but is awful for the city because it lowers the main source of tax revenue for #SanFrancisco. We need to repeal Prop 13 so cities aren’t so dependent on commercial real estate

American biz leaders, especially Dems, want greater engagement on social, liberal, and workforce issues. Combined with a perceived shift toward the Dems, we could see business bound to new coalition partners who also care for those issues.

Nice. Maybe econ needs a different approach too
"But we've been piling up cognitive biases since 1973, and the last 100 biases we added to the pile don’t seem to have done much. Adding the next 100 will probably do even less. It's time to stop piling"

I think there's a useful distinction between the following:
(1) Working class as defined by relationship to the mode of production (property-less and reliant on commodifying their own labor)
(2) "Working class" as a self-proclaimed identity, with its own powerful signifiers in the form of community, music, clothing, geography, etc.
(3) Being anti-labor (anti-unions, worker governance, minimum wage increases, etc.)
Very possible to be any combination or all of the above at the same time

Let’s actually normatively evaluate what the values of American legal culture aspire to, not the nominal justifications attorneys and others give for exchanging their services for a paycheck

2023-08-15 14:00:00 GMT

The idea that everyone deserves legal representation does not mean *you* have to do the representing, especially if whom you are representing is abhorrent to the values you claim to stand for. Let’s just start calling what Mr. Findling and other lawyers for Trump are after what it is in the cold light of day: money and fame.

I am not a conservative (for the most part), but I do think we should engage with conservative intellectual traditions. But that doesn’t mean engaging at face-value with radical extremists with an -R at the end of their name like Richard Hanania/Hoste

Also, seriously amazing that GOP elites like Trump and Johnson sincerely believe in their own powerlessness as *United States President and Senator* respectively
