Such Great Heights was fucking awesome and I bet this will be too!
My second book will be LOSING MY EDGE (AND LOVING IT), a series of essays about middle age, parenthood, and navigating the washed life, viewed through the lens of formerly hip indie bands that have become dad rock. Look for it in 2028.

Wrote about the 20th anniversary of My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade, a no-shit classic rock opus in a weird time for those, and why I couldn't quite see it for what it was at the time.

This is an insanely important development: Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are preparing to restructure the company so that Zuckerberg can pay the 5% one-time wealth tax he would owe if the billionaire tax passes in November.
He has said he would leave the state. He obviously was bluffing. That's $10 billion to California's education and health system. Just from him. Jensen Huang has also said he'd stay, that's another roughly $10 billion.
To be sure, some small number of billionaires will leave California, but most won't. What this also shows if that it is done on a national level, billionaires will fight it, but will ultimately fall in line.
Replying to @gabriel_zucman
Second — and that’s where things get extremely interesting.
Proposition 40 — the proposed one-time 5% wealth tax on California billionaires — is mentioned no fewer than 25 times in the SEC document.
@Meta explicitly states that one purpose of its new stock issuance is to allow Mark Zuckerberg to pay the billionaire wealth tax.
“… so that he may pay his potential tax liability under California Proposition 40, if enacted into law.”
Here’s how it will work.

Sure, Anthropic may have stolen all the world's intellectual property, destroyed the education system, incited mass layoffs among the corporate class, devalued all art and destroyed social trust but somehow they also managed to lose $80 billion in the first half of 2026
Remembering Taylor Swift's stint as a precocious pop-country teen and not "a benignly oppressive cultural force" really does feel like looking back on a different world. @tombreihan is right: "It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet."

Last night's @opencup final was the best chance at a trophy for the 2026 @ColumbusCrew. They ultimately fell to @stlCITYsc in a penalty shootout, but not before playing one of the most electric 0-0 soccer games I've ever seen.
