my best advice for young guys going into the trades is to make $250-500k in an email job, then buy a bunch of tools and a huge garage and start a custom knife business or a bespoke woodworking shop where you lose $100 on every sale

Everyone under 40 is now a little bit autistic thanks to Too Many Screens so, going forward, the popular conception of ~good acting~ will be how well you can mimic the exaggerated expressions of the Pixar cartoon characters that replaced their human socialization

I do like how we're starting to get stock characters. A few years down the line and this will be our Commedia dell'Arte. The banana has already taken on a lecherous role, akin to Pantalone or Pulcinella

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

for all the talk of “growing billionaire power” it’s telling that our industrialists are forced to take to open letters to adjudicate if the government is going to break up their firms when just a generation ago even a minor railroad baron could kill hundreds without reproach

i think we can miss the halcyon days of technology as an "industry" that had "norms" that allowed things like executives to speak without it being ex-cathedra. but its foolish to believe that once you are 100% of GDP growth and 100% of economy wide capex these will continue
