negative externalities all the way, all because some voter in a swing state was angry about pronouns. I wish I didn’t care, but it’s infuriating

Am I the only one to note that the Trump betrayal of Ukraine, while morally abhorrent, also sets a dangerous precedent re Chinese claims to Taiwan

The BBC could also have gone with 'the leaders are ambitious, attention seeking racists', but they went with 'People are angry'.

ah the discrete choice

what colour?

I like the description of the party as the « coming together of the formerly cancelled »

You don’t try and reason with a bully. Perfectly fine to pass on a 39% increase on Pateks though

Between this article and the far more explosive wsj disclosures about Trump’s birthday letter to Epstein, the wsj is doing some great work over the past 24 hours

so obvious that these guys were considered uncool, even in grade school. created a lifetime of grievances from which we are all now suffering

Musk’s nickname for Altman revealed to be the not-so-original Swindly Sam. Also noted that Lutnick yelled at Altman for being a ”leftist” lol

How Sam Altman Outfoxed Elon Musk to Become Trump’s AI Buddy With his rival out of the way, OpenAI’s CEO has a clear path to press for the company’s goals. He is leaving the Democratic Party.

Because nothing is more amusing than when the techbros turn on each other- fun article in wsj today about rivalry between Musk and Altman for Trump’s favour www.wsj.com/tech/ai/sam-...

it is possible for a society to distribute quality education in an equitable, fair, and accessible way.

it is not possible to distribute hierarchical elite power in a similar fashion, because that's not how elite power works.
