I read The Gambler by Dostoevsky on my flights this weekend. I really enjoyed it, and it’s as relevant now as it was back then

I would say that the pillaging of the Soviet Union’s resources and infrastructure to create the modern state of Russia and the other former SSR states was infact a massive tragedy with apocalyptic decrease in life expectancy and quality, but I feel like this guy would get incredibly upset if you mentioned that.

Dan Olson’s most recent video on Mr. Beast nailed it on the head when he said Mr.Beast is obsessed with finding the dollar amount to make people turn into monsters.

I have some old Glenn Campbell and George Straight records. Lots of good country music so long as you steer clear of the algorithmic stadium country that’s everywhere. There are even really good modern country artists like Sturgill Simpson.

I’ve seen people say it the past couple weeks, but Americans really will NOT be ready when the first FPV footage of a Marine getting tagged by an FPV drone.

The US have had air superiority everywhere except Kuwait. Iran had limited air defense systems and just a handful of operational F-14’s from the 70’s when the war broke out. The US just lacks the ability to use hundreds of $10,000,000 missiles a day for longer than a few weeks.
