What stood out in Platner's interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social is the way he uses progressive language about community and solidarity and accountability and openness to soften his image. As if to say, 'could a man this aware *really* be capable of doing such horrible things?'

This is obviously very good news, and it means that if you hold most US index funds, you won’t have any SpaceX exposure earlier than you otherwise would have.

Scheming vizier @quantian.bsky.social called this on the latest episode of the podcast. *S&P DJI PLANS NO CHANGES TO MEGACAPS INDEX ELIGIBILITY PERIOD

No special treatment for Space X in the S&P 500! Just announced. Wow. That profitability requirement means it might never get in.

It's been 42 days since the Knicks last lost a basketball game. They've trailed in the fourth quarter in just FIVE games this postseason.

legitimately cannot understand anyone saying "where did the apocalypse we were told was coming from the oil issues go" gas is up 25%. it will filter to the price of everything, proportionate to how much of that cost is energy. sorry modern apocalypses are boring and slow and creeping

how do I get away from the blast radius

lmao. two weeks -> two months

Being a Californian is so depressing because all our problems are our own fault.

Pelley: "New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story...The collapse of values at the top has become untenable...I pray for a day when sanity, competence, and courage return."

If you’re a trader you no longer have to qualify with I wasn’t around for the dot com bubble, but. This one is massively bigger.

the Supreme Court very into minority rule

lmao of course. by the standards alito has set out, there is effectively no such thing as intentional discrimination in voting. also, so much for the purcell principle!

Bonus video of TJ Rumfield's homerun which bounced off of the outfielder's head and went over the fence.

It’s kinda crazy how we’re doing the roaring 20s again

I estimate I have paid my health insurer (Anthem) well over $100k in the last 20 years. Today I received a settlement in a class action lawsuit for $51.09 I promise not to spend it all in one place.

Data center construction. Bigger than office construction. Bigger than public transit construction. @bloomberg.com @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

when you're the president they let you do anything

Interesting to see hugely-profitable Alphabet selling equity for AI spending just ahead of the upcoming huge IPOs of Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX (Grok). GOOGL was down -3% today and seems to be trading another -2% lower after hours. Microsoft also trading down after hours.

lmao the pumps will never stop

Governor Powell: Fed credibility at risk if presidents can fire officials

the speed at which a brand is torched by right-wingers and turned into slop is impressive

I'm 100% sure AI reduces jobs but it definitely also creates jobs. so what's the equilibrium is where the question lies

I don't think there's a good economic case for subsidizing data centers.

I just want to retire and buy a fancy gravel bike and ride it every day

obviously this will get better by election day but man, gerontocracy is not a good thing

The Rockies are getting just doubtless snuffed out, down 16-6

The Rockies have NOT lost the game, 8-3. Their record is now 22 wins and 37 losses. The Rockies' current NOT losing streak is at 2 games. Well, I’ll be jiggered.

The number of people in the replies to this who completely misunderstand how property and casualty insurance (car, renters', homeowners', etc) works on a fundamental level means it's time for an explainer of What Car Insurance Actually Is!

whoa what's up with New Hampshire. that's bonkers
