That Liz Truss members' club is an epitome of our economic disease
They are looking for 700 people to pay £500k each. They call themselves pro-growth
The real pro-growth strategy:
- replace the club with a whatsapp group
- fund a thousand seed rounds instead of one mortgage

The irony here is that people commenting/replying about wanting to see more personal sites are doing that on a microblogging platform instead of writing on a personal site. What does this tell us about the incentive structure of the modern web
(Yes me included, yes I participate in society)

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

How many modern countries' leaders filmed a video this close to the front line, with audible explosions in the background, by their own choice?

Here’s Zelenskyy, freely walking in Kupyansk that Russia claimed to have occupied.
So when we talk about “occupied territories in exchange for peace”, what exactly are we talking about.

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

It’s exactly because we believe in Britain’s future that this government has started investing in it. Revised fiscal rules have enabled the highest sustained levels of public investment in a generation - £120bn extra.

Across regulated industries there has been a step change in the past 16 months. Solar farms left as proposals for years were signed off in weeks. We haven’t completed a new reservoir in 30 years despite the population growing by 10m. This government’s signed off 9

"Fascists simply do not care about what is true. In a deep and fundamental way, it just doesn’t matter to them. You can see that even in how Musk set up his analogy. What he posted is not even the plot of The Lord of The Rings! It is the hobbits who ultimately save Gondor, not the other way around."

Didn't get enough votes vs government-supported motions, but did pretty well, considering how technical it is

Friends, do not argue about politics today. But if you must, argue with the in-laws about test yield thresholds and the relative merits of a "zero yield" criterion. Not college football or Congress.

My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.
When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.

Just realised I've the following combination of views re the UK: we should do things to make house prices go down while also raising taxes on the middle classes. Now, to be clear, this is me doing trying-to-think-within-the-Overton-window politics mode. So that's why I'll never be elected basically.

I went to a Looking for Growth event. It was tragic, self-contradictory, and hopeful.
The most important bit wasn't the speeches, which were a mixed bag. It was what wasn't said, and it'd be impossible to tell without being there.
