Today has been a hard day. Reading all the tributes and memories of Jim Robson has been both heartwarming and heart wrenching.

Let me add my voice to the many. A thread:

I lost a good friend today. Who just happened to also be a hero of mine.
Like many young sports fans in BC, my earliest sports memory involves the great Jim Robson and a radio.

One Christmas my uncle gave me a small single-speaker radio. I remember staying up late playing with the plastic dial under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep.
The station that came in clearest and loudest was CKNW 98.

Out of the speaker came this commanding, clear voice painting a vivid picture of what was happening on the Pacific Coliseum ice. Jim Robson was describing a brutal 9-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. And I was hooked.

RE: @RealCandaceO's episode tonight: 🚨
Welcome to my Midnight Ted Talk.👇

A quick reminder about discernment:

Certainty language is not evidence.
Suspicion is not proof.
A story is not a case.

(Short thread)
What we’re watching is a common escalation pattern:

questions → insinuation → moral certainty → calls for coercion

That shift matters, because it raises the risk of public harm.
When commentary becomes:

“only frauds disagree”

“it’s obvious”

“drag them in for questioning”

…it stops being analysis and becomes audience mobilization.

According to Greg Ip, in the US economy today, "rewards are going disproportionately toward capital instead of labor. Profits have soared since the pandemic. The result: Capital is triumphant, while the average worker ekes out marginal gains."

And as Marriner Eccles, FDR's Fed chairman, explained in the 1930s, this creates a dangerous illusion. The extent of business profits depends almost wholly on the purchasing power of ordinary people, which in turn depends on wages.
3/6
In a rapidly-growing developing economy, with huge unmet investment needs, it may be possible (even necessary) for profits to rise faster than wages because the resulting rise in saving can be deployed to productive investment.

So my take on Kurt Cobain, as someone who has spent a lot of time researching him, reading everything he wrote, listening to his interviews, reading about him: he had severe mental illness that manifested very early in his life. He had depression that was exacerbated by ...
... severe addiction issues; both, in fact, ran on both sides of his family. All of this was of course compounded by a level of mass fame--and pressure--that is almost incomprehensible now. Moreover, the modalities of dealing with addiction and depression, to say nothing of ...
... their combination, in the 90s were, let's say, not ideal for Kurt. I'm no forensics expert, but contextually, suicide makes a lot of sense given Kurt's various historical and emotional realities. And until there is a literal smoking gun, I find it difficult to overturn ...
