as a sacrifice to enrich the leadership class. have you asked any small business owners how they’re faring lately while corporations get personal perks using our taxes (as long as they make key donations to the right people?)? Follow the money. MAGA harnessed the anti-establishment right (tea party states rights libertarians) and successfully led them against their own values (personal autonomy, free speech, free market, small federal government).

Israel is leading the way to regular old colonialism without neo-liberal dressings, and the US, china, and Russia are more than willing to ride that wave; they too would like to expand violently without the red tape.

I wish you could see you’re being used.

And ofc Israel will pause ethnic cleansing and let food and water and communications in during those days, right?

He’s referring to the handshake deal, not the written one

Archive of paywalled Atlantic article

Peter Mandelson, the United Kingdom’s ambassador to Washington, was recalled Thursday after the extent of his friendship with the disgraced financier became impossible to deny. In a 10-page message in the now-infamous 2003 scrapbook, he called Epstein his “best pal” and included several photos of himself. Describing the financier as “mysterious,” Mandelson said that he would often be left alone with Epstein’s “interesting” friends—an assertion that appeared over a picture of an unknown young woman in her underwear.

[…]

Americans might be tempted to look at the situation in Britain and think: Consequences for misguided actions—remember them? That’s the right impulse. In the United States, the Epstein scandal has devolved into a mere political soap opera, in which the victims are largely forgotten and Trump is so far unscathed. British voters who are angry with their government might find some small consolation in the fact that on their side of the Atlantic Ocean, ethical lapses can still carry a serious political price.

For example (just as rough proof of concept)

Research articles: Pretty much any academic library website for published stuff, arxiv.org for white papers in computer science and math, pubmed for biosciences

audio equipment: gearspace.com

Encyclopedia: Wikipedia

Thesaurus: Wordhippo.com

The idea is to avoid needing to visit a search engine. Might be a high idea.

My sister asked for a small go bag that would fit a single book with room for the typical things (cards, phone, mints). I’ve browsed some options(including bags that incorporate a book strap) but wanted to check what other people who carry books around typically prefer before committing to something.

Graham wrote on X: “Unless your dollar-denominated net worth has increased by at least 11% this year, you’ve become poorer. The dollar has decreased about 10% in value since Trump took office.”

Sorry it’s not beautiful:( Just thought it was interesting since if you just pay attention to the USD chart you get a significantly different picture.

The researchers made a total banger of a video of it. Turn the bass up.

Did they ask you to make a western union transfer in order to secure your application?

Well my US public school system spent 75% of history class and 25% of English class on the Holocaust so I’m actually feeling really well prepared for this section, the trick is not to go along with genocide if your country is supporting it

As someone who consumes a lot of ancient history, it can also make you like “Ah yes, another city rises, another is displaced by climate disaster, and another falls due to land mismanagement. ‘Tis the way of things.”

I tried to google it and it’s not super clear.

-Perelman gets his phd in russia super young and is hired at NYU/SUNY

-Publishes some groundbreaking stuff on arxiv (a free site to post white papers in math and physics) in 2002/2003

-There is some drama with another scientist who is known for stealing people’s work trying to downplay Perelman’s contribution

-Perelman quits his US jobs and returns to russia to work in math (making wayyyyyyy less money), then quits that job too and becomes a recluse

-Turns down fields medal and millennium prize (1M dollars for solving)

-Says some mathematicians are unethical but the rest of them tolerate it so they’re shit too so the whole thing is shit. Also says he doesn’t want to be put in a zoo or treated like a pet about it.

I’m going to go ahead and assume I don’t understand enough about being a math superstar to understand where he’s coming from, but he certainly sounds like a principled guy and now I respect him.
