"Dateline NBC is the 9the most popular podcast in the US" is a great argument that we're living in the long 1990's

An easter egg for my fellow young Gen-X/elder millennials: Sumner H. Slichter, the labor economist and New Deal critic quoted at the top of my story, was the grandfather of Jacob Slichter, the drummer for Semisonic.

I found myself reading through the proceedings of the 1931 annual meetings of the American Economic Association (I'm a great time at parties), where Sumner H. Slichter warned that technology was advancing “more rapidly than in any previous age."

The ad has something for everyone: tennis haters can laugh about the hating on tennis, and guys who were ranked juniors get an opportunity to say they were ranked juniors

Lmaooooo what the fuck is up with all the sensitive tennis players in the comments. I am a lifelong tennis player and was a ranked junior and know it’s an ELITIST sport and always has been.

the best insurance bills to get are the ones that both involve little or no payment from you and also confirm that medical billing charges are, at a core level, unreal

“Amt Billed: 350 Anthem paid: 20 You owe: 0” I like how insurance companies keep it obscure even when they’re not trying to screw you. Consistency is important

New @ColumbiaUEnergy dashboard just out by @AndreasenJack showing how BAAJA's permitting provisions may alter project timelines for onshore/offshore wind, solar, geothermal, pipelines, and transmission. It estimates, for example, transmission lines could take 8 fewer years. 1/

I got a scaremongering call from an organization trying to get me to oppose Waymo in DC. I have my suspicions about who is bankrolling this effort, and it’s all very ironic compared to the politics of just 10 to 15 years ago.

like the spartans before us, it is important that we do no valorize this behavior -- because it failed, leaving a half dozen comrades stranded and sober, victim to the whims of stadium beverage pricing

the amazing thing about John Terry is that he was a a dumb person's idea of a great CB, a smart person's idea of a great CB, a dumb person's idea of a bad CB *and* a smart person's idea of a bad CB (and they were all right a certain points) all in one career

This marks the first time Tisch has publicly addressed the mounting calls for ouster. She also says: "There’s a lot of talk these days that the mayor’s friends don’t like me. That is simply not true. President Trump and I get along great.”

this is a phenomenon academics have noted and it distorts the economy: when finance offers outsize returns, there is a "brain drain" from other industries, as people with expertise and experience making movies about bears on cocaine shift to building air conditioned wharehouses
