The Dutch and Japanese put on a great show in Dallas. Topical historical fiction rec, enjoyable tale of the Dutch trading colony in Nagasaki in the late 18th and early 19th century. For those of you who like That Sort of Thing.

I appreciate how Japanese cameramen haven’t been Camera Cucked.” They get all up in there, switch the view around, like ‘Yeah, look how hot she is…Check her out from this angle…and this angle…’ 😅

“In regions of the United States with strong conservative communities, such as Texas, there are surprisingly many people who are fond of Japan.”

T.J. Stiles, tremendously powerful biographer of Vanderbilt, Jesse James, and Custer, is in the WSJ with a topical take on the tycoons of the Gilded Age.
I was hoping the author thumbnail would give a hint about his next book; sure enough, he’s working on Theodore Roosevelt.

Vanderbilt was pugnacious and physically imposing, and would routinely pummel disruptive customers on his ferries. In middle age, he beat a pick pocket to within an inch of his life.

Stiles’s Vanderbilt bio is a great read. It was the first book of 2026 for me. Highly recommend it.

Vanderbilt got on even with his enemies; it was just business. Except for Jay Gould.
“God Almighty has stamped every man’s character upon his face. I read Mr. Gould like an open book the first time I saw him. No man could have such a countenance as his, and still be honest.”

Can I say something, fellow Patriots?
Can I say something, in all candor…
The Zohran Mamdani-backed socialist challenging incumbent Democratic congressman Adriano Espaillat in New York City “co-created a bizarre, DEI-crazed college course that advocated for abolishing schools, which it accused of fueling ‘genocide,’ ‘white supremacy,’ and ‘settler colonialism’ among other ills,” @LevineJonathan reports.

This is exactly the sort of hat Augustus would wear whenever he ventured into the Italian countryside during the Principate, in a carefully calculated populist gesture.
‘Who Wore It Better?’ We need hardly ask, ofc….

Then abolish the bad joke pantomime of “Home Rule.”
To paraphrase Clemenceau, a superpower’s capital is too important to be left to its residents.

Three of the teens involved in the chipotle teen takeover have been arrested. Unfortunately, I can’t prosecute them because the DC Council won’t lower the age of accountability.

The late Jan Morris said towards the end of her life that Musk was the only contemporary figure that reminded her of the men of the Brunel era, the high empire: men who made spectacular fumbles as well as spectacular triumphs, who built tangible things instead of moving zeroes

A really shocking and upsetting failure of ‘soft power diplomacy’ on the part of the Trump Administration that Tyla performed at the Mexico City opening ceremony, and tomorrow the US has Katy Perry and Future….

A perfect example of an underrated baleful legacy of Covid panic: before March 2020, if you saw dudes who looked like this wearing face masks, it was a giant flashing alert in your lizard brain. Now it doesn’t register as much as it should. Even without the Floyd Effect, these

A long rant but to me an underrated entry in the groaning file marked ‘Our Covid insanity of 2020-21, which everyone wants to move on from for one reason or another, is going to be biting us in the ass for a long time, from the national debt to your local crime blotter.’
