I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

Elon fired hundreds of β€œunnecessary” Twitter employees and the platform has been down for hours today.

Now he’s firing hundreds of β€œunnecessary” FAA employees. What could go wrong?

Sometimes it takes a while, but markets ultimately sniff out the bullshit.

so here is the thing, the people who have trump the win did not vote for this. they voted out of a magical belief that trump would lower prices and make them rich. the gap between what they voted for and what trump will deliver is the space for political opportunity! bsky.app/profile/fkes...

Commercial real estate is in trouble. Record office vacancies, plummeting property values and soon maturing debt have created a perfect storm that lenders and investors have to face head on.

I wrote about this troubled asset class and the headwinds facing it.

Disney has just announced a $1.5B investment with Epic Games (creators of Fortnite) to create a Disney Game Universe.
Disney are looking to increase top line revenue while maintaining favourable margins. Something their streaming business has been unable to do.

Fresh basic income pilot results, this time from Arlington, Virginia where 200 people got $500 a month for 2 years. The findings:

Employment INCREASED by 16%, and their incomes from paid work INCREASED by 37%. The control group saw no such gains.
