“…a dream”

Today feels like a good day to reshare this clip of Ariane Aerospace’s CEO calling SpaceX’s reusability plans “a dream”

Every NHL team in the 70s had at least one guy who looked like a 56-year-old two-term senator. Nothing like the rush of scoring a couple of goals after successfully filibustering some legislation.

Amen

We didn’t have “HR” when building Palantir, for similar reasons - I avoided Ryan’s mistake.

And when we needed some PeopleOps, we hired technical leaders.

Going into the vast majority of companies and firing most of their HR and Marketing departments would tend to create value!

@MarkCoffin14 @EastCarolina Student “issues” are what is mainly pushing me to look at early-ish retirement, but my university does well dealing with student academic misconduct. When I was chair, we had a couple of cases go to the appeal process and students lawyered up. No problem - sanction upheld.

@ATabarrok @fastworkers6 I prefer flathead airplane wings vs the more traditional Phillips head wings.

@scandlenjosh DCA and call it a day.

Volatility is your friend in the accumulation phase of life. Old people like me need to de-risk though.

@ELuttwak The UK vs Spain in 2026 would be quite the pillow fight.

@JDHatfield_ICAP So, all in on SCAP?

@LeoNelissen Maybe we should outlaw cruise ships.

@cvpayne @ryancohen The details are on the web site.

@VickyRichterUSA So the Germans and NATO overall should have no problem with the US bringing the troops home.

@MarkJCarney @MohamedBinZayed I am comforted to know Mark Carney’s X account is on the job.

In grad school I worked security for a Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, and George Jones concert in Lincoln NE. George Jones was a no show because he was passed out drunk in the tour bus. Not sure if Mary Lou was in there with him.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

I miss country music. The real kind, where a guy in a lime suit and lime cowboy boots shows up with a BAC of .35. Or maybe he doesn’t show up at all because he’s doing lines of coke in the backseat of a Cadillac Eldorado with a stripper named Mary Lou he just met at Waffle House.

@anneapplebaum @grok its good to know my preexisting notions about the lack of intellectual rigor of the journalistic class is well founded

[Joe Weir @jpw4848]

@anneapplebaum @grok, is Applebaum correct?
