Men are afraid of men too. We read rooms, clock threats, cross streets—we do the same calculus women do. Women aren’t being paranoid. They’re being accurate. We rarely admit it, but we already know exactly why they choose the bear. We’d probably make the same call.
Jes Grew doesn’t ask your permission. Winston Napier taught me that. This is thirty years late and still reporting symptoms. open.substack.com/pub/chris…

“Broken brag” is the mirror of humble brag—competitive suffering dressed as confession. The brokenness is the credential. The bottom is the trophy. Russell Brand’s thousand women aren’t a confession. They’re a résumé. chrisabraham.substack.com/p/broken-…
Might Makes Right, and Other Things Nobody Will Say at the University in Bamberg I spent the morning on Threads getting lectured by a German about American imperialism. chrisabraham.substack.com/p/might-m…
Fascinating. Must read.
The conservatives finally got their populist victory for middle-American working-class voters. The result is more federal spending, more federal power, and Israel-first foreign policy. pca.st/episode/1…
I coined a new term today: broken brag. It’s what happens when the war stories eat the meeting. Russell Brand, twelve-step rooms, and why it doesn’t matter whether Brand is faking it. open.substack.com/pub/chris…

Thanks to my buddy Dan for adding this perfect thing to my daily driver. I do want to believe. I’m not a stickers on laptops guy—except for this one.
Did you know “gonorrhea” comes from Greek for “flow of seed”? Ancient doctors saw the discharge and mistakenly thought it was semen loss. So yes, the name of the STI is basically a 2,000-year-old medical misunderstanding that never got corrected.
Looking good on this Velcro scuba strap on this 2010 Marathon Pilot’s Navigator which isn’t at all a diver but has fixed lugs so a pass through like this makes a lot of sense. There’s a spring in the clasp which means the strap expands and contacts, keeping snug but not binding or restricting.
Fascinating

Ordered a Militado ML08. $85 delivered. Sweep quartz, sapphire, steel bracelet, BGW9 lume, 100m WR. Looks like a Sinn tool watch, costs like a beater. I hate automatics and I love a watch that doesn’t apologize for being cheap. Perfect philosophy of use.
I knew it!

I LOVE the fact that SAS and SBS commandos are quitting en masse because they don’t believe that the UK and EU government will protect them and will turn against them and prosecute them over just being commandos and doing commando stuff. Yes, do it! youtu.be/ITYEKZHdN…
Les Misérables Doesn’t End at the Barricade: Everyone planned for the climax. Nobody planned for the denouement. The soldiers didn’t even remember it the next day. chrisabraham.substack.com/p/les-mis…
The left runs two tracks: what they actually know and what they’ll say publicly. The gap between them isn’t incompetence–it’s policy. They’ve decided you can’t handle the full picture. open.substack.com/pub/chris…
