'steely dan', 50 years old now with their first album

steel dan has been one of my favorite groups. unremittingly negative and sarcastic, but superb lyrics. 'gaucho', for example.

the #FTX debacle, and side players

sequoia, the great silicon valley venture capital firm?

they should die of embarrassment!

sam bankman-fried clearly despised them. that got their attention! 

this is the problem with indians: we don't despise the west. han chinese do, and the west respects them.



and even better



"drown a toddler in my panties"? do actual women talk like that? or is this testosterone-fueled la-la-land?

kantara and rocketry: two hindu heroes' journeys

my take on the US elections a day before the results started rolling in

https://rajeevsrinivasan.substack.com/p/ep-81-the-us-midterm-elections-and#details

On average, a lame-duck Biden Presidency is a reasonably good outcome for India. If 2024 brings back a Republican Presidency (not necessarily Donald Trump) that too may be a good thing. The decline of the woke 'progressives' is good; however the hostility of the Deep State and the Military-Industrial Complex is not going to diminish until and unless India becomes a major economic and military power; which of course will happen by 2047. 

hmm.... never heard of Rust until today
