Basically he's like the dudes who left Twitter for Gab or Truth Social and found it boring because there weren't any libs to own.

It certainly gave me a clear indication of how well significant measures against climate change will be tolerated. ie, not at all.

I suspect there are people who have complicated theories about the relative whiteness rankings, and thus superiority, of natives of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

Car Seats as Contraception

At first I thought this was about how bench seats have just about vanished.

“On my Substack I am doing non-ideological, data-driven reporting!”

I don’t believe the son of pro-gun propagandist John Lott is capable of doing non-ideological reporting.

The sign of a great CEO is that sense of urgency.

They also mean "the wrong people are having too many children".

Also:

Poor black people with lots of kids, using government assistance: "Don't have kids you can't afford!"

Middle-class white people putting off having kids because they can't afford them: "Don't give us that excuse, start breeding!"

By the beer standard the most tech-bro-y place I've worked was Swiss Bank Corp / O'Connor in Chicago, a software focused trading shop. In 1994. NeXT machines and Symbolics LISP machines on the private trading floor kind of place, with refrigerators kept stocked with free sodas and beer. Beer was for after 5, except on St Patrick's day, when coolers of beer came out at about noon. Also, Nerf guns on the trading floor.

And yet, at least for the people I know best from there, they didn't turn out to be tech bros. Perhaps there's a generational aspect.

Sounds like they called it "Turing" in the midcentury law enforcement sense.
