Also can we stop pretending that we don't have answers to these questions: 80 percent of firms using AI report no difference in employment or productivity whatever www.nber.org/system/files...
China has chosen to sell free energy from the sun via cheap electronics to make people’s lives easier.
The U.S. is betting on expensive and vulnerable infrastructure that will replace and mass impoverish workers so that all wealth goes to the elite.
Feels like China’s game to lose already.
Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.
Sometimes when people say, "That'll be the first line of his obituary," they're right. Alexander Butterfield told a single crucial truth, and there it is, in the first sentence, 53 years later. Will any Trumper be memorialized for even one honest moment? I doubt it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
That this sentient walnut ever got a job is the real DEI
this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
Oh no! Rosie! I'm so sad to hear this. Fuck. All the love to you both from me and Ms Olive
It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.
Get ready to learn a lot more about private credit and software-as-a-service. Get ready like it's 2007.
It never occurred to him that they might not just roll over in what is absolutely an existential fight for them. This brutally dim guy thought he could lob some missiles & then everyone would praise him for being so tough & smart & handsome. Blowback like Iran closing the Straight never factored
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
"We will deliver adjectives to the objective with unyielding fury."
(whispers) The Saudis did 9/11
I mean, Mexico may be losing the baseball game, but man are they smoking the US in the uniform game. Mexico’s kit is cool and fun and Team USA’s looks like some mid-90s Walmart clearance rack shit. And the hats are straight trash, just fugly as hell
i need trump denouncing iran imposing tariffs, yes, i do

Schrödinger's War
No! No they don’t! JFC what the actual fuck?
A fuller quote here is somehow way dumber. “…people that died through the roadside bombs, died and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms…”
Dead people walking around with grievous wounds are called zombies, dude, and they aren’t real
Image shows a brown and black beagle-ish pup napped out in the sun on brown winter grass and a brown and white pittie mutt panting as she also soaks in the rays. They are both very fuckin’ cute.
First sunny, warm-ish day in months here in Baltimore and Ms O and her BFF Jethro are….melting
we have entered the era of nation-state level trolling
Trump can just openly say “I am doing this to bring in a one party state for 50 years” and commentators will hem and haw about the intricacies of carrying off a talking filibuster
American Juche
“For a good price, too.”
OK, here's our story on the wild situation in Manhattan today where the Justice Department settled a monopolization case against Live Nation without telling its own lawyers.
We got one week of testimony that was going really badly for the company. But corruption won out.

The war that is not a war that is just getting started and might last until September is pretty much done and we’re also going to seize a strait we don’t control and maybe kill more leaders if we don’t like them
It was just a few days ago when Trump claimed we had an unlimited stockpile of the high-end interceptors and other super expensive weaponry and that we could fight this war forever. Now that it’s all going to shit, he gonna try to claim we won a GREAT VICTORY because we destroyed…the Iranian Navy
