I'm surprised Kharg Island was enough of a 'household name' for Trump to identify it by name.

i live in NJ, which is top 5 in state income tax. i make about $100k/yr. i want to pay income tax. In fact, I think I should pay more income tax. take another $100/paycheck, feed the poor.

There it is (also leaking like a sieve now)

These observations are both more or less true but also irrelevant to the fact that breaking the post-WWII taboo on using nuclear weapons introduces uniquely existential risks to human civilization

The oil market is not going to feel very good next week.

The folks going "what are PhD students even for if we have effective LLM agents" are really telling on themselves

It’s a properly transformative policy and one of Trudeau’s bigger legacies I think, it’s notable to me how many new dentists there seem to be in Toronto

It's another aspect of how his brain remains stuck in the 80s, regardless of idiot rhetoric his mental baseline on actually using nukes is like he just watched The Day After
