Obsession (2026) is my favorite movie of the year and it's not even close. It's fantastic in the constructive filmmaking Barker designed - camera movement, editing, score all on point - and his script beautifully escalates the idea while welding together callbacks at perfect points. I even like the costume design, especially his awesome sweater in the third act.

It is also - and I swear this is a positive - the most politically regressive movie to come out in years. The irony of being championed as a Gen Z movie is that other than starring young people, it doesn't reflect Gen Z's aspirational culture whatsoever. First, it's all straight white people. Not even a bone thrown to the walk on roles like waitresses or salespeople. No black people, no gays, no Asians, no trans Blasians. While Backrooms set itself in the 90s, Obsession could have been set in the 50s. Yes the lead actress is Latina but let's be honest it would get very canceled if the point of a movie directed by a white guy is Latinas are fucking nuts. So white she is.

Then the bigger regression: it's a genuine woman hating movie, told from the perspective of a young, straight white male. It's every fear young men have. Once you get the girl she's possessive, irrational, controlling, codependent, emotionally unstable, lying, vindictive, manipulative, with unknowable psychic damage, and at the end of the day, she doesn't actually like you. What millions of dollars of ticket sales are saying is FINALLY. In a world with abundant critiques about young men, here is finally the movie that calls out females on their shit for once.

That women love this movie is a bit of a joke of the movie itself. You're crazy. Yes, we know. What Goodfellas did for Murder, Obsession does for Misogyny - and it's great!

It's great because movies aren't supposed to BE CORRECT. They are supposed to be CATHARSIS. They don't even have to be sociologically accurate. They just need to tickle the dirty thoughts, the subconscious, make you confront the WORST and BEST parts of you. They just need to FEEL.

What we are feeling in Obsession is the THING WE CANNOT SAY, and it is dramatized in action and violence. It's the world of young white men amongst who they really hang with - other straight white people - pining after girls who dislike them. That believable world gives the film authenticity that EVERYONE can believe in, and the story that unfolds is taken without aspiration or propaganda or idealism. There will be some takes that it's a critique on selfish men, but it's a weaker extrapolation as the movie clearly presents the male as a hapless victim, nobly refusing sex at first, only to be tricked by the succubus. It's a creature feature and the monster is not the scientist, it's the Bride of Frankenstein - and we will never understand her even as we want to fuck her as we die.

Loved it.

We are surprised by such rhetoric directed at Saudi Arabia; this is not the approach for which American diplomacy is known, but rather seems more like Netanyahu speaking from the White House.

Talking about the Kingdom joining the Abraham Accords as if it were a mandatory directive does not reflect a language of respect between nations, but rather a mindset that seeks to usurp sovereign decision-making.

Has Washington begun to lose its political compass in the region?

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

To understand this, you have to realize something. Iryna wasn't Charlie Kirk. She wasn't a political pundit or controversial. She was simply a young White woman coming home from work.

The reason that these are getting vandalized is because they hate White people and like when we get killed. They just want to murder White people. It's that simple

One of my blackpill predictions is that crime will skyrocket in coming years as female law school graduates become judges & DAs. They will let violent criminals go due to their suicidal empathy & virtue signaling.

Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, has a $10 plaque behind his desk that reads: "If we're all going to eat, someone has to sell."

Of all the things this man could surround himself with, he chose a cheap plaque with a blunt truth about business.

"You're always selling. You're selling to candidates. You're selling to vendors, you're selling to counterparties, you're selling to customers."

And if you're always selling, you know what you're going to hear a lot of?

"No."

Griffin doesn't sugarcoat it. He tells two stories that illustrate just how brutal rejection can be.

1994 was a rough year, with Citadel losing ~4% of its capital. Griffin flew to Switzerland for a crucial lunch meeting, sat down, and his guest arrived only to say:

"Oh, I thought you were John Griffin from Fen Church. I got to go."

His lunch date got up and left the table.

Later that afternoon, a Swiss banker spent 45 minutes with him in a beautiful office, smoking a cigar, before closing with:

"Such a pity that such a bright young man picked the wrong career."

Two rejections in one day for the founder of one of the most successful hedge funds in history — and his takeaway was simply this:

"You just have to tolerate. You're going to hear no a lot, but you need to become accustomed to having to market your ideas and market what you represent and what you stand for."

Absorbing rejection and continuing anyway is the actual skill, whether you're hiring, raising capital, or winning customers.

Most people avoid selling because they're afraid of no. The ones who build great things have learned to expect it.
