Today is the 40th anniversary of the publication of NEUROMANCER, William Gibson's (@GreatDismal) debut novel. Nobody asked me, but I've written an essay commemorating the occasion, complete with pretentious title. profbootyphd.wordpress.com/2024/07/01/bet…

When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I thought when unemployment was low, GDP was hi, household income rose, it meant everyone was winning.
Not true.
The American economy has decoupled the economic progress of asset owners from wage earners to such a degree that broad based measures of success are no longer reliable measures of progress.
This single issue of asset ownership vs progress of wage earners will be the defining issue in all future elections.
Other issues will get caught in the interpretation (price of eggs, Iran war, price of gas etc) but the candidate that realizes that those are downstream of asset vs wage earners and gets their messaging focused on it will win.
No amount of money spent in an election or gerrymandering will change this outcome.
That is what I learned on Nov3.

If dems were really ruthless they would demand jail time for Jensen and criminal penalties on Nvidia (just nationalize it and pump $1T into making chips)
This case is getting to the point where it appears Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang might have actively abetted in evasion of US AI chip export bans to China. If Democrats were ruthless they would tie Jensen Huang to Trump and make him the face of Trump's Tech Bro

Demographics had literally nothing to do with this most recent election. Literally is used here as in "literally."
This electorate was 73% white, as vs 71% last time.
What happened was that GOP-supporting groups like young white and Hispanic men moved - respectively - 32 percentage points and 28 PP to the left. #dassit

There are a bunch of people who insist on viewing the world as zero-sum. If the other side likes it then there’s no way it could be good.
But some things really are so good that everybody wins!

Trump is clearly a follower of Tertullian and Aquinas - he's planning on eating popcorn in heaven while he watches his enemies burn.
“I do hate some of my enemies, and I always will,” says President Trump. cbsn.ws/4epCFnt

It's gross for super wealthy tech guys to look at shit like this and gravely intone that the American people Don't Want investigations. It's transparently Soviet-style graft that NEEDS to be investigated, pardons or no. Solana was skeptical too... how??

My point, which you're leaving out, is that Trump is going to pardon everyone ANYWAY... just like Biden did.
President Trump might as well issue pardons now, and then state AGs can pursue cases if they want...
... but the democrats will be better off focusing 110% on affordability and ending the wars.

.@Jason polls heading into the midterms and post-midterm exit polls show corruption is a top concern for Americans… and your solution is for Trump to mass preemptively pardon himself, his family, and his admin to avoid accountability?
I suspect that’ll just piss voters off more

LMAO! ALL IN podcast bros are now calling for Trump to pardon himself, his family, his allies which includes Elon Musk and everyone in the administration claiming Dems are coming for them.
This podcast consistently predicted that the GOP will win the midterms.

between pete hegseth possibly getting removed and stephen miller's wife's podcast going on hiatus i just feel like all my role models are keeling over and it's devastating
I make every decision based on what’s best for my children and our family.
With @StephenM taking on this new role for President Trump, I’ve decided to stop recording new podcast episodes.
Nothing is more important than raising our four kids. While I’ve loved the podcast, the time commitment is too great and now is the time to step away.
I’ll be cheering President Trump and his team on from outside the administration.
I will be airing the two previously taped episodes.

Let’s remind MAGA why they got murdered in the midterms: let’s look at Trump’s top 10 promises.
1. Will end the Ukraine War day one. (It’s now lasted longer that WW1)
2. I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars. (Trump started a war with Iran)
3. National Debt. Was $34T when Trump took office. He said he was going to pay it down. (Debt surpassed $40T in less than 2 years)
4. We’re not cutting Medicare. The big beautiful bill reduced its funding.
5. Home Prices will drop. The medium house price reached record highs.
6. We’ll end inflation. (2.9% When Biden left office.. is now 3.7%)
7. I’ll cut energy prices in half within 12 months. (Energy prices are up 44%)
8. $2.00 gas. Trump holds the record for most consecutive days of gas above $4.00/gal surpassing Biden.
9. You’ll never see me sleeping on camera. (Multiple videos show Trump falling sleep during press conferences)
10. DOGE and Tariff checks…. Never came.

JD you need to cuckpoast about this, its incomplete until you do
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.

You realize this is a dream job for a sizable chunk of the population. Immured inside a big concrete cylinder & drip fed worm percocet so you can play Space Shipping Tycoon for 5,000 years in a row. There’s guys out there doing that for free right now
Can any dune book reader explain why anyone would choose to become a navigator in Dune?
In the world of Dune, navigators are barely human anymore. They spend years immersed in highly concentrated spice gas, causing their bodies to mutate severely until they resemble strange , why would anyone accept such a terrible price?

I remember five or six years ago people thought there could be a two-state solution between the Hasanians and their eternal online enemy, the Yglesians. Every day that seems less and less likely
I’m ‘mad’ because your shtick is maddening. Even people who agree with your politics are fed up with your incessant posting since Tuesday and endless snarky attacks on progressives, and nonsense about moderation and elections.
And it’s not irrelevant to point out that candidates who shared your politics lost two out of 3 times to Trump. Have some humility when it comes to lecturing others on electability and posting endless context free graphs about ‘performance.’
