Powderhorn

I'm not going to throw this anywhere approaching news, as it's from 2000. I hope you'll forgive AP Style of the time.

This the only thing I ever wrote that I pushed to go out front as news analysis sted opinion. It did indeed run on A1.

This sort of lurch has not gone well in the past for Germany.

I was just reminded of this site and figured with how dark everything is, some of you would get a chuckle or two out of it. It's basically line graphs of wildly unrelated topics that happen to align surprisingly well.

There's a reason I'm networking instead of job searching.

It's almost like crypto is in general a scam.

For anyone unfamiliar with Asianometry, this is a fantastic, well-researched, low-volume channel. I've learned so much over the past couple of years and always look forward to a new drop.

It's usually more tech focused, in case that's your bag. Lithography methods, corporate histories ... it's varied but always fascinating.

When I was studying Spanish in middle school, it was odd to me that a language could just, you know, drop subjects via conjugation. But I find myself increasingly dropping them, as they're understood.

A lot of communication these days is looking more imperative without necessarily being so.

Descriptivism is fun!

I think I may need to set up a macro for "well, this isn't good."

Like, I don't really enjoy airing all of my dirty laundry on here, but when I heard the idling diesel of a pickup parked against me at 9 p.m. for 10 minutes, I sort of knew what was coming.

It's an industrial zone, so tractors at that hour are unremarkable. Pickups, on the other hand ...

They finally headed north and clearly made a U-turn, because next thing I knew, I was hit. Now, you don't want to confront people in Texas. If they're willing to drive into you, guessing at their armaments is folly.

Something needs to be accelerated here. I've now been attacked. I didn't have that on my bingo card for the week, but that's pretty much everything. Musk killing the administrative state sucks, but this is not currently my main concern.

Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn't doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.

For our stateside friends, a 20C delta is 36F. This is an order of magnitude beyond the less-aggressive Paris goals for the world as a whole.
