What the stock market needs now is a breakthrough in quantum computing that turns the whole AI datacenter thing into an obsolete waste.
That would be hilarious.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.
A chart showing that the yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond has risen from 4.00% to 4.30% while the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States has lowered its overnight lending rate from 4.50% to 3.75%
This trend is extremely alarming.

Google is now using AI to change headlines written by journalists, which is simply a bad practice and risks editorializing our writing. If you rely on Google to find tje journalism you consume, maybe its time to find a different search engine, or better yet, sign up for more newsletters
Pretty sure itβs pronounced two-two-two-twenty-two-twenty-two.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.
Fascists tell you that corruption is okay because you can participate in the corruption and benefit from it too, but, in the long run, no one benefits more from a culture of threats and bribes than they would from a culture of freedom and fairness.
Iβm seriously considering voting βnoβ on all referred bond questions because Mike Johnston has been a mediocre Mayor with terrible spending priorities. Could a new Mayor do better with the same amount in a couple of years if we donβt saddle Denver with Mike Johnstonβs debt right now?
The way that Wall Street is just pricing in 3% inflation, instead of 2% inflation, as the new normal is extremely bad for the long term future of the United States.
I am once again urging the tech workers of America to form a union
I keep looking at history for tips about how we might make it through this era, but all it is doing is solidifying a bleak and hopeless outlook.
It is worth noting that looking at history paints those who βcondemn political violenceβ, but do nothing to correct its causes, in a very ugly color.
βRepubliconsβ is a good one.
Democrats really need to get on board with misnaming the Republican Party the same way Republicans keep misnaming the Democratic Party.
Since the news has decided to quote Republicans calling it the βDemocrat Partyβ without writing β[sic]β, I think Democrats should start calling it the Republicant Party, and if I see even one correction Iβm going to be pissed.
Decided to scroll my Twitter (βFollowingβ) feed for a few minutes this morning so I could see who is still posting over there and judge them.
I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base donβt even know thatβs what it stands for.
In sci-fi, βthe singularityβ has occasionally been misused to refer to the invention of artificial intelligence, but in real world computer science it refers to when computer chip switches reach the size of one atom. If a βtech reporterβ confuses those two things, that reporter is not trustworthy.
I see economists discussing/explaining the fact that tariffs are a tax on manufacturers and consumers, but not politicians. If I were the Democrats Iβd brand it as the latest Republican attempt to impose a national sales tax, with tax rates that are much higher than the (once laughed at) 9-9-9 plan.
βThe President says workers who provide healthcare and cybersecurity to all Americans are part of βDemocrat[ic] agenciesβ because Republicans want you to be unhealthy, hacked, and scammed and Democrats donβt.β
- Not the propaganda-less Democrats, thatβs for sure
Please ask one of the data firms your campaign pays way too much money to what the probability is that a 60 year old couple in Bent County, making $80k a year, who receives ACA subsidies votes for you or any Democrat. Then, ask yourself: is this really a good issue to be fighting for?
Less than 10% of Americans receive ACA healthcare subsidies, and more than 50% of that group vote for Republicans. The fact that this is the hill that Democrats choose to die on, rather than any issue that impacts a majority of Americans, or at least a majority of Democrats, is why they keep losing.
What do Democrats believe in?
Halting the construction of 60 new prisons per State?
Ending the military occupation of areas that oppose Republicans?
Impeaching officials that take bribes?
Protecting career service workers from politics?
Or, just preserving the worldβs most expensive healthcare?
Am I the enemy as a journalist? A Coloradan? A gay man? I was cautioned to beware of leaders who tell you only they can spot the enemy.
ββ¦ it's the enemy from within, and we have to handle it before it gets out of control," Trump saidβ¦ "It won't get out of control once you're involved..."
US Military commanders received some scary orders today.
Donβt let propaganda quoted by US news fool you.
Republicans want to invade areas of domestic opposition with military force, and thatβs only their βtraining groundβ. If they succeed, theyβll use force to βcontrolβ Canada and Greenland too.
Monopolists tell the lie that you can βvote with your dollarsβ because they know that your dollars donβt actually have a choice.
It was good for me to come here this week. I think, living in New York, with a relatively reasonable governor, Iβm constantly like βfight fight fight.β
Here, connecting with a bunch of black folks from red states in different situations, the message is βsurvive, survive, survive.β
βI hate my opponents, and I donβt want whatβs best for them.β

How do you feel about living in a country where politicians and their appointees, including the President and Supreme Court Justices, solicit and take bribes, information showing the negative the impact of their corruption is modified or hidden, and the national news repeats ruling party propaganda?
I think a huge part of this is that conservatism is so predicated on an absence of empathy that its adherents are unlikely to have an accurate view of their opposition β something which requires empathy.
Instead, they just see us as a mirror of themselves. Every accusation truly is a confession.
