Nah he had a stroke and it's the 30, 60, 90 day checks

every now and then I step back a bit and admire just how truly batshit insane the situation the country is in truly is

This is gotta be the press photo of the year 2025

“Senate Democrats may think they are fighting to position themselves for crossover votes in the midterm elections, but they are actually in a battle for self-government itself — for democratic freedom and the rule of law.” They’ll be the last to get it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/o...

NYT: “Epstein emails a distraction from the Republican shutdown victory” WSJ: “We estimate the Epstein files to be 67% Trump by weight”

Wait wait wait, what? What? I mean, drop out of the MSM news cycle for a day and...what? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

“While not exactly an AI-skeptic, I do find that the variable, incomplete results served up by AI are, on average, not time savers.” www.theregister.com/2025/11/14/a...

Oh fuck yes nobody under about 45 understands this at all and I love my millennial friends and their earnestness and openness and wry humor but the pro-corporatist ironic-but-not lack of ethics is so bizarre to me. Like…no synths!

Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

The AI bubble is annoyingly like the internet bubble. Online pet food and grocery delivery were terrible businesses in 2001, but they aren't today. Internet companies are now worth trillions and it did change everything. Many just spent too much too soon and made the right bet at the wrong time.

The kids won't remember but the dc press served as ken starr's personal PR firm and basically elevated him to sainthood

cannot believe I have to now hand it to the kooks who insisted the government was being run by a shadowy cabal of pedophiles

there's no telling what you could find

Epstein: "how did musk call go?" Ruemmler: "Well, I think, but not because of me. The existential crisis thing is not a PMS or menopausal pose."

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/

ChatGPT ads are airing during basketball and they're basically "Here's something you could've done with Google in 2004, you're welcome."

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal. If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

The year is 2030 Tesla has not produced a new model since the Cybertruck, which sells negative 62 units on the year. Full self driving should be available by year end per CEO Musk. Musk claims the humanoid robot will go into production late 2040. Shareholders vote him a $25 trillion pay package.

CoreWeave has basically five customers: OpenAI, Microsoft (mostly OpenAI), Google (renting capacity to rent to OpenAI), Meta, and of course NVIDIA. This has been a huge, obvious problem for a long time and because the markets are stupid it's only just becoming one for traders

Congratulations to Bari Weiss, the new General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks!

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

This unseasonably hot and still day in SF is kind of freaking me out, not gonna lie. Glad we're getting the beginning of our "winter" later this week.

Nobody in American politics hates their own voters more than the Democratic Party

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

He knows nobody is going to stop him. That’s the lesson he learned tonight.

Sounds right: The report found that the heaviest AI users are thought leadership writers (84%), PR/comms professionals (73%), and content marketing writers (73%).

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Amen to this: “AI” is a marketing term
