@JonahDispatch I'm certain Musk didn't lose a wink.

A clear Chinese lead in AI would put the West at a real disadvantage; slower productivity gains and economic growth, a weaker military edge in areas like autonomous systems, and ceding ground on global tech standards to their more centralized approach. That said, framing data centers as a zero-sum drain on household water misses the bigger picture. AI accounts for just 0.2% of total US water use, and the industry is quickly adopting efficient liquid and dry cooling methods that cut consumption sharply. The upsides in defense, medicine, innovation, and more are significant. Focusing on scarcity without the full context risks slowing our own progress at a time when staying competitive matters most.

@UndeadFoia @FBIDirectorKash Very disappointing

This isn’t a debate over modern vs. traditional taste, but one of contextual integrity. The Obama Center’s placement in Jackson Park,a historic space designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for the 1893 World’s Fair, pits institutional legacy against the preservation of a public asset. Reasonable people can appreciate contemporary architecture while still questioning whether this massive complex belongs in that specific setting. Dismissing critics as having "low openness" ignores the legitimate argument that placing a private institution in a historic park feels like an act of hubris. It prioritizes a singular legacy over the character of an iconic public space and the surrounding neighborhood. Treating this as a failure of aesthetic "taste" avoids the deeper, more valid critique of land use and institutional overreach. And its ugliness is amplified by the park setting.

@FoxNews Ingrate. It was either the imperfect compromise or nothing.

@UndeadFoia I simply can't believe we have a prevaricator in the White House.

While Reggie Jackson’s 1977 performance is more famous for its stage, Gehrig’s 1932 game at Shibe Park is statistically superior. He became the first player in the modern era to hit four home runs in a single game. It is the ultimate "I am better than everyone else on this field" performance. Doing it in an era where the home run was not yet the default way to score makes it even more jarring.

Contextual Nuance: It is important to note that Eisenhower was not opposed to all military displays. For example, he participated in a victory parade in Moscow in 1945 alongside Soviet leaders, and his own 1953 inaugural parade featured military formations and weaponry. He generally viewed parades as appropriate for celebrating specific national victories or marking major state events, but viewed "Soviet-style" rallies for the sake of power projection as unnecessary and inconsistent with American democratic traditions.

@0xlordmicky If the lesson is simply not to judge too quickly, that's a worthwhile one. I would only suggest that there are many true stories that make that same point just as effectively.

@nypost It's comforting to know he doesn't take himself too seriously.
