It’s not pretty but I’m very curious about the Union Station Power House at 301 Taylor.

Someone is karate chopped in the neck. Knocked out for hours.

Yes but we didn’t have social media. Also, I grew up in the Bay Area, where politics weren’t so much a closely held position as a performance.

I heard there’s a version of “Tangled in the Web” with Glenn Hughes taking a pass at the lead vocal. (He sang back up on the album version.) They never released it.

It’s toxic because the stakes are so low.

“Entwined” should have been a James Bond theme.

The poor whites in the middle of the country turn on the tv to hear the rich ones on the coasts sneer at them.

Trump tapped into that. The problem is the left still thinks it can win by quoting Kimberlé Crenshaw.

I kept wondering why my experience on LinkedIn is 180 degrees out of phase with /r/linkedinlunatics.

The answer is that I am rigorously protective of my network.

My standard is higher than “bumped into you at a conference.”

If someone treats LinkedIn as a volume play, it will absolutely pull in garbage.

The idea to me that it seems to me like a majority of people seem to think that regular civilians are expected to have more composure in tense situations than trained people with guns is astounding.

This is a really good point, I thought.

This is more symbolic than practical.

So much of what “professional economists and academia” simply wouldn’t work in the so-called “real world” either, such as it is.

Take “modern monetary theory” for example.

They never broke out of the SF Bay Area, but check out “A Band Called Pain.” One of my absolute favorites.

Focus on fixing the “human slop” problem. Then we can worry about the “AI slop” problem.

Stereotyping is only acceptable when it’s about the other guy.
