Haiti supporters in Boston bringing the party on their way to tonight’s match with Scotland, their first World Cup match in 52-years. 🇭🇹

Around this time of year, some New Englanders experience an unfamiliar sensation called "happiness." It will pass.

The Koreans in Mexico are going to invent binge drinking methods that will advance the craft by decades in mere weeks

Dubliner bar, 10am. Already a line 30 people deep 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

An idea I need someone to run with: some sort of annual event in Boston that brings tons of Scots here. I’m not sure what the event is, but I think we can all agree that these incredible vibes can’t just be a one-off thing. Who can figure this out?

Turns out you just need a bagpipe to balance and it becomes a normal slide

Crazy this was written two years ago, @leopoldasch truly was on point

Scotland fans all over downtown Boston, looks like they made Hennessy’s HQ 😂

In the dead of night the Scots arrived at the Airbnb across the street. Decked out and playing the pipes at 6:30 am. So it begins…

NEW YORK CITY, YOU LISTEN TO ME. IF YOU'RE NEAR A CONVENIENCE STORE RIGHT NOW, ANY TYPE OF 24-HOUR STORE, GO INTO THE STORE RIGHT NOW AND PUT YOUR HAND IN THE CASH REGISTER FOR NO REASON.

For the first time, most biotech deal value now goes to assets from China:

reinsdorf and wirtz were able to negotiate property tax deals. northwestern built a stadium. the fire have shovels in the ground. i know these are not all the same, but it seems the bears are the only ones with this specific problem.

You’re talking about the wrong drone. Better concentrate on the one that shot an Apache down because that’s ALOT more amazing “first” time event.

Remembering Stacey King (1967-2026)

I really don’t think photorealistic AI-generated political ads depicting opposing candidates saying things they’d never say should be allowed.

CPI数据感觉又泄漏了？

I think part of it, at least vis a vis US/China competition, is that US and western chattering classes find it hard to believe that the market-driven outcome of frontier AI could possibly be right. They basically believe, in their hearts, that the Chinese system, with its “industrial strategy,” has eclipsed capitalism. So they harbor the same inferiority complex toward the Chinese system that many Americans once harbored toward the EU’s system. Their heuristic is that the industrial strategists of China have grasped the whole picture of the technological competition in a way that US industrialists, with their “profit maximizing incentives,” could not possibly have matched. And so any outcome in the economy that is not the result of “strategy” is therefore prima facie worse than what the “strategists” have concocted. They also believe the Chinese strategists possess awesome powers of foresight and the ability to evade all tendencies of financial and economic gravity, due of course to “strategy,” really it’s almost a kind of orientalism. Meanwhile the U.S. industrialists are making new advances in math and science, and the fastest-growing businesses in history, by spending hundreds of billions of dollars on high-margin chips whose legacy is in rendering video games, cramming them underneath tents if need be, and investing generational capital into new energy generation technologies as they do it, and perhaps even colonizing space as an instrumentally convergent result. But none of that is “strategy,” you see.
