Sounds like Glenn is struggling with more than booze…

Where does he find these crackpots?

@LuFins-Dad said in Trumpenomics: That’s a stupid approach to take from a markets analyst. He’s actually trying to goad Trump into not reconsidering tariffs and to pull the trigger… Plenty of people out there hoping Trump damages the economy as much as possible. I'm sure they'll take the opportunity to goad Trump into more macho tariffs.

@Horace said in What are you listening to - Podcast Edition?: Good reddit thread regarding Sam. This guy unsubscribed at about the same time I did, with about the same reasoning. https://www.reddit.com/r/samharris/comments/1kv5unv/why_i_just_canceled_my_subscription/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button I liked this response. It's something I've been thinking about lately. The economy of subscriptions to individual public commentators. Their price is often the same as a subscription to a top-tier commentary magazine or service. For $60 a year you can get a subscription to The Atlantic, which publishes new content everyday, some by Pulitzer Prize winners. Sam asking $150 a year is ridiculous in comparison Patreon tends to be saner, where creators request subscriptions on the order of $1 or $3 per month. But the substack crowd tends to start at $10/month or more. As for Sam, his pursuit of money is too obvious, compared to his professed higher motivations. I still recall how he was charging separately for his Substack writings and for his podcast. When he consolidated everything at a higher price, he attributed that to an oversight. What you can know about Sam is that he is compelled to maximize his revenue, and he is ashamed of admitting that, and will never admit that.

As health supplements go, that one is probably more reasonable than most. At least you know that if it does make a difference, it'll be a positive one.

Why, does Trump like gold?

I suspect he had some sharp elbows as well. It's a New York thing.

Everyone told Sam not to sing. But Samsung anyway.

Hate to break the news to you, I know this is news because I am smart and thought of this before anyone, but society is made up of individuals. Thousands, some even say billions. We're one big bell curve. There will always be outliers...some think the earth is flat, some think there's T3H B4RGE!!!1, some love conspiracy theories... hey they are kind of fun to think about, and if you're in a spot in life where it explains hardship by blaming something else, so be it. Society has always had these faith/blind believers against forces of power. Throw a worldwide epidemic that killed 7 million people (including half a million in the USA in the first year)... that'll get a few more folks talking about "they".

Unless you’re wearing an uncomfortable rental tuxedo.

@jon-nyc said in Hamas attacks Israel: Not that I know too much about him, but I found this surprising. https://x.com/repthomasmassie/status/1928250135232053325?s=46 Wow. That’s troubling.

The only white coat RFK should be allowed to wear is one that fastens at the back.

And they shit on your head from trees. Don’t ask.

@mark Superlative arrangement and playing. Effortless technique. Oddly I don’t see her on Qobuz although she has recorded at least one album.

@blondie said in Anyone else struggle with booze?: There are entire chunks of my kid’s childhood I can’t recall. Reminds me of some jokes that old people tell, something along the line of "if you remember the 60s (or 70s), you didn't live it."
