This is reassuring to hear- the work DepSecWar Feinberg has been doing to rebuild our industrial base is a generational imperative and must continue! 11K views · 51 likes · 4 reposts · 10 replies Open on X →

I know it’s gauche to complain but I’m gonna. @AmericanAir, it’s pretty crappy to delay a flight 3.5 hours only to cancel. Especially when each hour delay came 5 min before ‘updated’ boarding, w/ cancellation coming as aircraft we were supposed to take just finished deplaning. 17.6K views · 94 likes · 1 reposts · 26 replies Open on X →

I recognize this is not a Man Of The People tweet but I wish for the People to read more so this tweet becomes increasingly Of The People. 5.9K views · 65 likes · 2 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

While I’m grousing about books, I loathe cracking open nonfiction to find it’s written in Malcolm Gladwell meter. It’s 2026. Trump won. We aren’t doing random anecdote + counterintuitive pivot + idiosyncratic academic study/character anymore. Pick a better narrative structure! 15.3K views · 108 likes · 5 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

Big cities do this well, and not just bc of mass transit- when diverse industries (media, business, finance, etc) have staggered start/stop times it helps defray commuter intensity. 5.1K views · 35 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

While I’m grousing about US travel, the bookstore options at US airports are abysmal. On the rare times I find a vaguely intriguing book, it’s a pricey hardcover that’s a pain to schlep. Is it too much to ask for a selection of Penguin Classics or NYRB paperbacks at US airports? 35K views · 153 likes · 4 reposts · 43 replies Open on X →
