I think it's a pretty grim state of affairs that it's not the bombing little girls or the poisoning of a major city that will cause political backlash in the US but god forbid bubba can't fill his lifted f-250 and people will finally start caring.

Because oil demand is so relatively inelastic, we could see $8/gallon gas in the US before we get to equilibrium between supply and demand after the strait of Hormuz was shuttered. That would certainly result in a full blown crisis in the US where there are not many transportation alternatives.

It is the year 2032. 90% of every one working in the video game industry have been laid off twice. If your game doesn't lead to a movie or thousands of hours of YouTube theory videos, they will take your house and all your shoes. You will need a government ID and blood sample to play Minecraft 2.

An illustration of Rex, Pyra, Mythra and Nia (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) in the ocean! Rex is standing in front of the viewer with a very happy expression on his face as he is carrying both Pyra and Mythra with his arms on both sides. Pyra has her eyes closed with a happy expression where Mythra is waving at the viewer with a confident look. In the back, Nia is resting on an inflatable on her tummy and she also looks at the viewer with a smug look on her face. Rex is a big man with brown hair, a scar on his eye, and blue trunks (inspired by Zeke's swimwear), Pyra and Mythra are reddish pink and blonde girls with core crystals on their chests, tiaras on their heads, and wearing their signature swimsuit outfits and Nia is wearing a more traditional swimwear that's a bit more seperate from her original design. Nia looks more like her XB3 design with ears that shoot straight up and a tiara to hold them up. Behind them is a vast sky and the World Tree. You might also spot some other characters too like Glimmer, Mio, a vague silhouette of the child that Mythra had, and Turters! 

Thank you so much for 2k followers, I am very moved by this! <3 I am still growing and will get better yet. And I hope you guys like this drawing!

PANEL 1: A FRIEND showing MATTIE a big canvas.
FRIEND: Hey check out this art i bought. I think it's incredible.
MATTIE: Uhh. What is it?

PANEL 2: reverse shot, you can see it's just an enormous black dot on a canvas.
FRIEND: It's the aggregate of all human creative output, in the totality of recorded history, averaged out and then printed on this canvas!

PANEL 3: Shot from panel 1. MATTIE just kind of stares at the friend.
FRIEND: I can see you think I'm stupid. Would an IDIOT spend 14 billion dollars on it? Hmm?
FRIEND: Would an IDIOT have been MOVED TO TEARS by this?

PANEL 4: Same shot, two people walk by, looking amazed.
P1: Wow, the computers are getting so good! 
P2: We'll be replaced any day now!

Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America

โ€œFive presidential elections ago, before the Supreme Courtโ€™s 2010 ruling that lifted many remaining campaign finance restrictions, the share of billionaire spending was almost zero โ€” 0.3 percent, to be precise.โ€ Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

Figure 1 presents two plots. Panel (a) displays the percentage of donors in each wealth rank that contributed to each of the six campaigns (i.e., Democratic and Republican nominees in 2012, 2016, and 2020).Footnote 17 Panel (b) displays the per capita dollars from each wealth bin, by campaign (including those who donate nothing).

As Figure 1 shows, the association between wealth and contributions is approximately exponential. The wealthiest are much more likely to contribute, and the wealth gradient is even steeper in dollars because the top 0.1% contribute very large sums. This is one of the most robust findings in the campaign finance literature, but the figure demonstrates it with considerably more precision. By measuring wealth independently of contribution size, we avoid misattributing smaller contributions to non-wealthy donors and underestimating wealthy dollars.

Most relevant to our analysis, Figure 1 compares the wealth gradients for Trump versus other candidates. In 2016, compared to other candidates, Trumpโ€™s wealth gradient is far flatter, because Trump elicited far fewer wealthy contributors and per capita dollars. For example, among the top 0.1%, Trumpโ€™s donors and per capita dollars represent about one third of Romneyโ€™s. While Trump did worse than all other candidates among nearly all wealth groups, that deficit was larger among the wealthy. In short, in 2016, wealthy donations to Trump are low compared to other presidential candidates.

In 2020, Trumpโ€™s performance among the wealthy improved considerably over 2016 (Figure 1). Consider donation rates (Panel a). Among the wealthiest 0.1%, for example, Trump roughly doubled his rate, though he still significantly lagged Biden and Romney. He did even better in per capita dollars (Panel b) than in rates.

The wealthy dominate political contributions. Our study shows the top 0.1% donate 10โ€“15ร— more frequently than the bottom 90%. The gradient isnโ€™t subtle, itโ€™s exponential. cup.org/4cfm0Az
