Re Nordics: As a stinky touring musician, wet wipes are the solution.

Haha. I do not watch TV either.

The best place to start for understanding Matt's general policy approach is to just read the full PPP papers and some of his old blog posts. Once you've done that, you'll notice that most policy disagreements he has online with other policy people is just them not understanding the fundamental issues Matt's policy approach endeavors to address. This is why Matt gets so frustrated with them. Most of them (and I'd include Stoller among them) just aren't very smart and just take policy ques from institutional inertia and misleading, if superficially compelling, rhetoric.

It is so frustrating for me to watch Matt interact with people on Twitter. The back and forth is so limited by that platform. I want to know so much more detail. For example, the other day Matt is fighting with Matt Stoller (ok, too many Matt's). Um...Bruenig is fighting with Stoller (better?) on Twitter over Sovereign Wealth Funds versus breaking up monopoly. I know Stoller's entire worldview has been consumed by antitrust work as almost the only thing worth doing, but I don't understand what he has against Sovereign Wealth Funds. Matt seems to understand what his problem is, but in the interest of doing his Twitter thing, and the limits of the platform, he doesn't fully elaborate. I want all of the details on this and many other things that Bruenig. I need one of those "masterclass" things, but for Matt, or I guess at least an episode on it. And still waiting for the podcast series on the day to day functioning of the sovient union.

I like to treat it like an RPO in football. There's a meticulously designed play, but if delays, adverse events, or unforseen opportunities arise, there's no reason not to scramble.

as someone who travels quite a bit, there’s a happy medium between planning meticulously and being a bit open ended. I like to plan a few activities ahead of time and get a lot of enjoyment from researching options, but going with the flow is such a skill because travel is definitionally not something that happens as you expect it to

Love our CEP school in bmore. Keep an eye out for public summer camps. This summer our 11yo had a sleepaway camp with the national aquarium and an acting camp, our 5yo a Spanish immersion music camp, and our 9yo a robotics camp all free and including transportation.

Ah, only the old people are even watching live TV anymore. Let them have their fun.

V jealous of your two kids on the dole with that free school. Got one in daycare and one on the way. It's going to be 5 years until we're cashing in for both.

Jane sounds like our younger son. In grade 2 they were expected to write a book report on the weekly books thy read. Graham was incensed, insisting that everyone else in the class, including the teacher, had also read it so what was the point😂

The post-travel radicalization of how much the US sucks is real. That was me after spending a week in a mid-sized Dutch city. Seeing a horde of unaccompanied 10 year olds ride their bikes to school down a central road really made me think “damn, the US is a dog shit place to be — and raise — a child.”

hahahaha!

Best investment I’ve ever made was a litter robot. Worth its weight in gold. They need it clean

Liz: The thing that will stay with me most from my trip to Japan is a fundamental awareness and respect for others (blows huge cloud of smoke into the face of her fellow podcaster)

Chris

punishing a good reporter

The Bruenigs

I’m not sure it’s possible to have a diff experience in Japan than me and Liz did

RJ Garcia

What's your take on the revelations about Bloomberg sabotaging the rollout for Olivia Nuzzi's new TV show because she got heat from the Democrats for her reporting on Biden's mental decline?

The scene from Lost in Translation where Bill Murry is taller than everyone in the elevator but it’s Liz and she’s shorter than everyone

Dexter Merschbrock

The Brunicorn should absolutely come back for more casts

John

Let us micro bruehead gang show you around ancient tombs and monuments to our fenian dead, before hitting up some nice bakeries and pubs for cosy winter hangs and morbid tales. Also we're all on board for a full socialism series chat IRL and no need for AC because it's a bog.

lol just heard the crowds/clouds bit and picturing an alternate universe where Liz uses this ep to debut a variety of ethnic voices and impressions and the pod is canceled and has to move to Hatreon

1) I have met Japanese hippies/backpackers in Latin America and they are just as grubby as anyone else with an outdoor lifestyle. 2) A friend who worked at a zoo had to wear a hazmat suit anytime they worked on the Japanese Macaque exhibit because they carry a strain of herpesvirus that is chill for them but almost invariably deadly to humans 3) The first time I was living in Mexico, I saw a German guy wearing a tshirt with the twin towers in the center and two planes and their contrails arcing into them in such a way as to form the Mcdonalds logo, and I had to admit he kinda got us

Ian H

Gang back yes
