I'm pretty sure the NYT could do a "I'm a historian of X and Trump is wrong about X" story every day for a year.

Inflation had been heading down for over a year until Trump’s tariffs reversed everything.

Those darn regulations are just so inconvenient.

I mean, why pay extra when he’s right over there in X, running the show?

There’s even a book titled Innumeracy, so that one has got to be fairly common. Nerds know ambigram, at least the ones of a certain age.

It makes a little sense if they're buying time to sell. Keep the pyramid from crashing so you have time to get out.

Thiel is gay, however, so probably not implicated in the scandal unless there were financial misdeeds.

The "torment nexus" joke is alive and well.

But 100% of the 1% got tax cuts, so there's that.

I'm interested to see if any of Vance's friends are willing to rat on Trump to get their guy in the Oval Office.

Ah, sorry about that. I guess it will take a few more days before TS is also compromised.

Grok saying Trump win the 2020 election.

1) Only until Musk tweaks it
2) More importantly, let's kill the myth that LLMs "know" anything.

Are you sure it's not: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a fortune, must be a monster.

Cue guy in balaklava, "Ma'am, pick up the perfume bottle. Yes ma'am, you're going to buy it because it smells so much better than the tear gas I'm going to drop on you if you don't."

It's kind of the definition of capitalism. If there's no way to extract a profit, it's not interesting.

Not too many unionized farmers these days, either.

Nuggets from Helena: Rolling around the Queen City on Interurban Trolleys, 1886–1927 With the Northern Pacific Railway bringing visitors to Helena, the need for trolley service became crucial in moving those visitors from the depot to downtown.

This might be paywalled, but describes the extent of there system.

Helena. I was thinking national-small not Montana-small.

There were trolleys from the train station into town and out to the Broadwater. I think down main street as well.

The Paris Metro departs every three minutes. No parking worries, stops are just a few minutes walk apart.

120 years ago, even my small Montana town had a trolley system, and we gave up a community-oriented system for a more expensive, more wasteful, individual one.
