Today’s Daily Stoic:

“.. The call to courage is not simply the call to conquer fear. It is the call to conquer fear in service of something greater than yourself. To speak the truth, even when it costs you. To do what’s right, even when it’s hard.”

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

just saw the worst gaming ad ive ever seen

A sign outside a store in Andersonville that says “Not playing Christmas music yet!”

Respect.

Hi. Mike here. Listen to me very carefully. After I'm gone, if anyone, anywhere, for any reason, attempts to use some piece of shit AI app/bot/thing to play a video of me weighing in on literally any topic, I would like you all to seize their device and smash it with a hammer.

New insult to life itself just dropped

This entire administration is a national security risk

But yes, JD, let’s go with “he has supernatural abilities,” you fucking amoral sleazebag.

Yes, all those illegal immigrants getting approved for mortgages. Of course!

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Innocent people wouldn’t need to hold an emergency meeting to try to find a way to block the release of the Epstein Files

Get them ALL. Every single person who participated in, facilitated, or knew about Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile ring. I don't care if they are GOP, DEM, DSA, Green Party, Workers Party, etc. They are deeply sick people who need to be exposed and held to account.

New Epstein emails mentioning Trump don't appear to interest Fox News

Zero coverage of the Epstein emails on Fox News this morning.

Damn that is one ugly chart.

Somebody to Shove and Black Gold were singles first - the band played them on SNL before Runaway Train got big (because of the video, let's be honest - it's a good song, but...).

Agreed, though - great album.

The Bullying Toddlers That Staff the Trump Administration Or, why I am not bothering with the #ToddlerinChief thread.

It’s bullying toddlers all the way down. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-bullyi...

Bessent lies shamelessly: "We came in, we inherited a mess. We have brought the inflation down." (Prices have risen by nearly 2 percent since Trump took office.)

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean:

Elon Musk Tries Desperately to Prove He's a Real Human Being The world's richest man has created a fake world for himself.

Elon Musk is trying desperately to prove that he's a real human being

First step...

Next step, ban pitch-level bets.
