The season of being a Santa widow has commenced.

But to be honest, it's wonderful that one person can bring so much joy to kids.

No worries, I'll catch up with him on the 26th.

America spent so much of the last century being petrified of communism that they forgot to be terrified of fascism.

PSA for politicians:

When you are campaigning you tell us about the things you believe need doing.

Once you are elected you need to be showing us that you are doing the things.

Too many of you never make the transition from campaigning to governing.

You were elected to do this job on our behalf, so instead of telling us what needs to be done why aren't you telling us what you are doing?

How much does it cost to stop being poor in America? • New Hampshire Bulletin Last month, a Wall Street portfolio manager named Michael Green created a bit of a stir with a Substack article headlined, “How a broken benchmark quietly broke America.” His provocative economic…

FT has a piece on how particularly poisonous the Juan Orlando Hernández pardon was (but is a good overview and unlikely many pieces did note that Roger Stone himself needed a pardon).

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

New Hampshire is a prime example of how the Republican party became so weak and morally bankrupt that it was easily taken over by extremists.

There is only one leader in the Republican party. The rest are followers.

Remember this in 2028 when a bunch of them will crawl out from the cracks they hide in and claim they can lead the country.

Change the subject to something you find more interesting like windmill cancer, election fraud, or money.
Just fall asleep anyway, no one will have the courage to call you out.

It is all part of the apocrypha that includes trickle-down economics. It's the same - very cleverly crafted - doctrine of make-believe.

This bears repeating daily: We have been indoctrinated into believing that capitalism is inherently rational, when it is not. Homo economicus never existed.

Am I the only person who thinks it would be a very good thing if the rate at which AI were deployed was severely limited by a lack of capacity to generate electricity to run data centers?

It might lead the companies involved to think harder about what the value proposition for their product is.
