Semafor’s China racket. The left-right Russia-China asymmetry. Bob’s WaPo lab leak piece. China brokers a Middle East deal the US never could. Is China just rationally acting in its self-interest? Bob’s name-dropping bidding war. Bob’s Peter Thiel problem: his circular pessimism. Brad DeLong’s algorithm problem. Time to surrender to the AI? Give Ron a chance. Newsom goes DeSantis on Walgreens. Bob’s big pig joke. SAT vs. GPA vs. IQ. Sorry, the Trump indictments are weak. Bob praises Jimmy Carter, Mickey of course dissents. Twitter’s annoying community notes. Woke shock poll. Tribute to David Lindley. Bob tries to sell Mickey on Evil. Does “exploitation” cause poverty? Trump’s baby bonus.
