Your kids want you to take a look at this:

[Human Progress @HumanProgress]

Global corn and wheat production is the second-highest on record, while soybean output is on track for a record year. Rice production remains near record levels, with yields possibly setting a new high.

The man is gay AND Tom Cruise?

This is Raimi glaze I can get behind. Fantastic scene, I remember as a kid it really affected me how May doesn’t just forgive him and is upset initially. Taught me that you don’t just get rewarded for being honest but you should still do it cause it’s the right thing to do.

Bit of context for the “we used to call it Summer” brigade.

I wish people knew how awful ADHD limerence is. ADHD brains are so dopamine starved that people can make them so happy that they get addicted to them. It’s the same mechanics of an alcoholic, it becomes an obsession.

It’s absolutely devastating. It’s awful.

@JoshRaby I feel like it’s the FOV?

Thank you for your email. I have eaten the lotus flowers and am unlikely to respond

For years, the council have neglected the upkeep of our garden square bins.

I fixed them in a few hours.

Let’s start taking pride in our streets again.

I think this is one of the most important dynamics we see in the UK right now. And the level of burning anger you're going to see across younger generations will reverberate across British life for decades to come.

In my opinion, it's a financialisation story. We produce some of the best-educated young workers in the rich world, and have done for a long time now, but we then hand the yield to whoever already owns the assets. So the trouble is, skill doesn't set your wage… the economy does. And when the asset value itself is what drives the incentive, building becomes the opposite of what the owners of capital want. Productive capital wants to build, because it profits from output, whereas rentier capital wants tight supply and a captive market whose yield it controls. We've spent two decades creating the most favourable conditions for rentier capital, whilst penalising the productive.

We've got one of the most highly educated populations in the rich world. So as a country, we've invested astronomical sums in educating our young people. We've been hoarding highly educated talent, whilst at the same time building nothing for it to do. We haven't provided the conditions for it to flourish.

As you'll know from a lot of what I've posted previously, we've built an economy that primarily looks to financially engineer new ways to extract yield from what we already have, rather than build new assets, new companies, new infrastructure.

As a result, the country has declined in almost every way. Our roads, public transport, housing, water and energy have all degraded, and the number of publicly listed companies is in freefall, down by roughly a third in a decade. Despite the decline, we pay record amounts to access it all, a large portion of which comes directly from its financialisation. At the same time, we've doubled down on higher education, churning out graduates and throwing them into an economy that has nothing to offer them. We then wonder why society continually feels like it's breaking down.

So the problem we have is this. We've built one of the most educationally advanced pools of human capital the world has ever seen, and an economy with nowhere to put it. The gap between what these young people were promised and what they've been handed… is where the burning anger lives.

And if you want to see this firsthand, speak to someone who left and took their skills elsewhere. I'm sure you'll be shocked at the lives they've been able to build for themselves in countries that still choose to build.

I always assumed Chris Hansen was just a normal man but now that I see he’s being played by Robert Pattinson I’m starting to think he’s a weird man

[Joel Franco @OfficialJoelF]

The Odyssey screenplay came in mail today. Immediately flipped to the viral part with Robert Pattinson as Antinous saying “can somebody get these beggars out of here!”

The script had it as “Get this beggar out of here.” His delivery was perfect.
