One of the most misinformed groups in the world has to be people who watch John Oliver religiously, this is one of the better forum posts on the phenomenon of the "comedic-news" segments
HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.
California is the place where hypercompetent nerds are too busy to notice dysfunctional politicians mismanaging their state

An entire biography of Larry David and it doesn’t even seize the means of production
I reviewed the painfully long new Larry David biography. It’s not great. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
This election season, vote for candidates who are pro-markets and pro-capitalism. Those who oppose an overbearing nanny state, reject socialism, support strong borders, believe criminals should be punished, refuse to pit classes of people against each other & are bullish America
Thinking about building an off grid studio on our property, there's lots of cool options and they actually don't cost too much. Anyone have experience building something like this? Seems like with solar + battery it could be really simple too
Good advice from @micsolana ... cheer up kids, we don't live all that long. Delete Instagram, stop comparing yourself to fake lives of people who aren't even happy

people are actually arguing on X that the cash back you get from using a credit card is some sort of evil shady government "good boy points" system, instead of what it is, which is a direct wealth transfer from people who are bad with money to people who are good with money.
Reminder not having a long commute is one of the biggest life upgrades. You never normalize against this, like you would a very good or very bad event (the commuting paradox, described in the Scandinavian Journal of Economics). Moving closer to work or going remote is worth it

Oh this story is delicious. Some choice parts for you:
The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn’t free, and people can be really mean. buff.ly/5cLtnha

The riots in France and the anti-Israel protests in the U.S. are part of the same movement. @WSJFreeEx:

Genuinely sad to see chaos, violence & destruction across the EU, in some of the world's most beautiful places w/the richest history. Insane leaders allow this to continue. Europe deserves better. End policies enabling this, enforce laws, don't let mobs hold civilization hostage
