    In 2023, I wrote about the distinction between what I call the "Macbook class" — journalists/tech types who comment on things — and the "wristwatch class" — investors thinking in longer time frames. Today, I can firmly say I'm on the side of investing in, rather than

    I genuinely don’t understand why “classics” aren’t shown Mon-Wed in every theater with 9+ screens. I’d happily pay $10 to see a movie once a week that I know will be worth my time as opposed to scrolling through slop on streaming services in my living room

    Parasite will not make sense to Americans who don't understand how social mobility-constrained every other country in the world is, which makes it doubly hilarious as the only logical reading becomes "But do you have the courage to hate the poor?"

    I watched Parasite again and was struck by how intensely innocent the rich family is The absolute worst thing they do is roleplay a drunk hookup in (what they believe to be) the privacy of their own home, and it's so unsexy it just underscores their childlikeness and naivete

    I’m eating at an upscale Italian restaurant in Vienna, and the table next to me is animatedly talking in German about JD Vance and his speech. It is amazing how every single thing being discussed is directly an MSM talking point, down to the Romanian election “fact checking”. I’m

    There is a ton of chatter amongst the élite where everyone in finance/tech knows that the current admin is about to incinerate everything that allows private industry to proliferate, but their wives will divorce them if they vote for Trump. It’s not an enviable place to be in.

    Damore is pretty much the entire reason that cracked 26-30 year olds have largely been stuck in jobs they hate collecting paychecks while the world went nuts around them, and finally got a chance to breathe after this November. It’s also the reason why there’s no such thing as

    Yeah, all right, let's talk about James Damore. It's been eight years, and I really doubt Harj (who was my boss at the time) is the only person for whom it was a formative experience. For those of you who have no recollection of any of this, either because you are wisely an

    It is fucking great to be American abroad nowadays, if I walk down the street to a pub and open the door for any younger Euro type to vent, the stuff that comes out is years and years of pent-up frustration regarding disastrous governance. We can actually lead the way here

    Tim Walz rubbed me the wrong way to such a degree I wonder what went wrong such that the entire state of MN somehow put this guy in charge. I can’t remember ever feeling that revolted by a politician

    "fair enough" is the signal that you'll coordinate to escape the prisoner's dilemma of "unexpectedly finding yourself in a serious conversation about politics"

    When I was a kid, my dad would occasionally take me to these fancy dinners with well-dressed business types, and I usually assumed that these people knew what they were talking about and were having complicated discussions. As I got older, I realized that there isn’t a shred of

    That overnight trading session was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in markets, Trump wins Florida, everyone realizes he’s going to win and mkt sells off, then instantly everyone realized “wait, it’s a Republican” at the same time. Genuinely comical
