Perhaps we should reconsider how much is "or XYZ in today's money". The official inflation index includes prices for TV diagonals, hard drive storage, and perhaps Ethernet throughput. It should be dinners and houses instead.

Incredible. Roland Reisley is 101 years old, the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright. He still lives in the 3,200 square foot home that Wright built for him in 1952. The price? $40,000. Or a little less than half a million in today's money.

Young Americans believe in American exceptionalism. It is only the inferior nations like the Chinese, Germans, Koreans and Russians can't build socialism right.
Bizarrely, 62% of young Americans hold a β€œfavorable view” of socialism. How can they be so ignorant? Socialism has been tried by lots of countries. It’s failed. It always fails. johnstossel.com/socialist-ut…

Dark sky is actually good.
I've joined many other states and governments in declaring April 21-28, 2025, Dark Sky Week. Washington state is home to some of the darkest skies in the country, and these dark sky locations deserve protection. In Washington state, WSDOT has implemented a policy that results in reduced lighting β€” less intensity, frequency, and coverage β€” compared to previous standards. Everyone has a part to play in mitigating light pollution and protecting Washington’s dark skies.

Just met some Ohioans on a Bermen to Hamburg train. They seriously complain about the dishonesty of Trump in the debates, and they seriously contemplate refunding their ICE tickets because the 3 hour refund window is still open. Why would you go to Germany for a stag party?

If this statement about Podolyak is true, it makes me both sad and schadenfreude.
The Ukrainian government will not apologize to the U.S. for the conflict between Zelensky and Trump in the White House, said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. β€œWe will not apologize for a supposed mistake that never happened,” Podolyak said in an interview with Le Point. Through propagandists, Zelensky continues to blame Trump and his team for everything. And this happens right before the negotiations on Tuesday. Let me remind you that another adviser to Zelensky, Milovanov, as I have already mentioned, called the Trump administration incompetent, while Zelensky’s adviser Serhiy Leshchenko was involved in preparing Trump’s impeachment and today posted memes mocking the President of the United States. Zelensky unzips his fly and urinates on his partners in Washington. As a Ukrainian, I must say that I am ashamed of Zelensky. His presidency has been a true disaster for the country. He is an actor who, with his performance, deceived not only the entire population of Ukraine but also the entire democratic world. I will continue publishing facts about Zelensky’s crimes and corruption, which I have gathered over the past six years of his rule. Subscribe and retweet so the world can see. #MAGA Sincerely, Ukrainian oppositionist, Myroslav Oleshko @EricTrump @elonmusk @TuckerCarlson @DavidSacks @JackPosobiec @DonaldJTrumpJr @WhiteHouse @Surabees @CortesSteve @CilComLFC @RobSchneider @ggreenwald @JamesBradleyCA @ianmiles @MAGAResource @themarketswork

One way to make it more cynical is to insert a "the" before "Ukraine". These are not exactly the developments that I like best, yet i'd see them cook with some optimism for the future. Three years of war are no good, fourth is no better.
A few minutes ago, President @ZelenskyyUA called me. We had a candid conversation on the heels of the recent meetings with General Kellogg and other developments. I conveyed to him that we consistently believe there is no other way to stop the bloodshed and achieve lasting peace in Ukraine except with the support of the United States. For this reason, I suggested to President Zelenskyy to remain committed to the course of calm and constructive cooperation with @POTUS Donald Trump. I trust that good will and honesty form the foundation of the U.S. negotiation strategy. I have no doubt that President Trump is guided by a deep sense of responsibility for global stability and peace.

The social responsibility of business is to create profits. For everything else you have your nonprofits, your elected governments, and you personally.
Companies exist to make money, and the 30-year experiment to try to make them about something other than making money has been a goody-ass failure

In California, every single ounce of wood which happens to grow WILL BURN -- unless removed by humans. You have three choices. Have it burn often, with relatively little fuel. Remove the wood, annoying some treehuggers. Or (current choice) have it burn rarely, with lots of fuel.

We were living in Lahaina when the Maui fires broke out (they stopped a block from our house), then when we came back to Utah happened to meet one of the heads of the US forest service fire control division at a church picnic. We talked for a long time. She talked a lot about how fires are inevitable, but the size of many of the biggest fires we have now are completely preventable. I don’t remember all the details of our conversation (and was interrupted trying to wrangle kids), but I’ll never forget the look on her face when my wife asked what we should differently. It was a look of just complete defeat and dejection, and she said, β€œWe know exactly what we need to do, we just don’t.”

On Luigi Mangione I have a bad L5/S1. I think that this dude went crazy because of pain, tried stupid drugs, got his brain fried, and shot the first convenient although irrelevant victim: a health insurance company is after all the one who doesn't want to pay for spinal fusion.
