In a weird way Trump is the most gay president to have ever held office.

For wireless earbuds I have my eye on the soundpeats air pro line and the earfun air pro. In the past five years what is notable imo is increased codec support like lc3, ldac, and apt-x lossless. Also beyerdynamic has the aventho 300 for $200 half off this week. I almost got them but...

Eh, they put up a pretty strong paywall now so I’ve been reading them less but in the time with the leaky paywall it was pretty solid analysis and were widely cited.

a lot of retailers protected their consumers from the full impact of the tariffs. I have no problem with them being compensated for this illegal and unconstitutional abuse of power. On that, I hate it when people default to the lazy syllogism that Trump is a businessman. He’s not a...

So how can an Olivia Nuzzi thread be kosher?

there’s an elite journalism scandal around Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza. Lizza is a name I’ve seen around New York profile journalism for decades now and I’ve often enjoyed reading his essays and profiles. He fell out of that world a few years ago and launched a Substack. Olivia Nuzzi is his fiancée...

It looks like hegseth is trying to deflect blame onto an admiral Bradley which is a total scumbag move.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/us/politics/trump-honduras-venezuela.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share So trump has just pardoned the president of Honduras who was…tried and convicted after extradition for drug trafficking. Does trump not realize the hypocrisy here?

Game is one sale now through early December. I enjoy it but it seems really hard to get a pvp match going due to low player count.

I’ll just say that when Henry ford was fighting striking workers, it was his wife who got him to relent.

Wow 2013. I don’t quite see how a game like this is appealing. It’s basically a running/flying simulation with an AI prompt for environments which you will glance at while grinding for some random commodity. Now, if this game also had AI companions who could do all the cool stuff as in old...

I mean, do any billionaires go to church or any other normal social institution? Likely they’re severely isolated as their wealth means myriad threats to their safety.

Found it. Turned out wrong steam account was logged in

Not entirely wrong. Billionaires aren’t all like Sam Harris super rational super smart guys. A lot of them are kinda dumb, a lot are normal. Politicians are also innovators and they craft messages to appeal to donors and what works is his dramatic “flight 93 election” appeal as written by...

I was searching for the transformers games that came out around 2010. I can’t find them at all on steam. I’m pretty sure I bought the game and the DLC and now can’t even play it. Same thing happened with titanfall 1. Lovely game, but you can’t buy it in the store anymore so there are no new...

Neoliberalism was an end of history ideology and not wrong either. Environment matters but it is a lot more salient when rivers are literally catching on fire. Environmentalism has largely succeeded in America and it has the cleanest air on the planet, largely by outsourcing the dirty stuff...

I am interested in an eink external display, but they’re so expensive. The reason is that navigating ui is painful on eink and android is not built with eink in mind. I guess if android had more eink features for navigation that would work out. If it were basically on ereader ui principles but...

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/us/politics/trump-obamacare-subsidies-health-care.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share This is rather funny. Now Trump himself might be floating a two year extension on Obamacare subsidies. This is more than just a vote but adopting the shutdown demand as their own.

Eh, using ai for bedtime stories is not a bad use. Ai is a surprisingly good writer and the plot twists are often quite good. The problem for billionaires is that they cannot readily convert their wealth into social capital. We are social creatures, including billionaires. IMO ai solves the...

I don’t think musk had a well thought out plan with twitter. Objectively speaking he would financially be better off without it. He overpaid for it, then realized that the value of it was in its influence and not as an ad revenue generator, then fell down a rabbit hole of anti woke. If only the...
