The moral message of Skyrim is that it’s bad to be a stupid provincial racist. Not the racism part, that’s objectively correct per the lore, but you can’t be some axe-swinging Nord hayseed. You need to be a very educated and cosmopolitan racist wizard if you want to reach true enlightenment.

AI Twitter was going nuts last week when it appeared that Deepseek made a 100% profit trading crypto. Unfortunately now every LLM is underperforming:

*Quantian Account Would Like Federal Backstop For Wine Investments, Source Says -- WSJ

Bill Ackman has already fallen in line, now all Mamdani has to do is rename Times Square to Donald J. Trump Square and the federal money will come rolling in

I can’t decide if I should go on Twitter and do a post praising Mamdani for running one of the most successful dark horse campaigns of my lifetime or come to Bluesky and do a post pointing out that only getting 50.5% of the vote in NYC on the D ballot line is objectively horrific underperformance.

At this rate the 2026 Dem meta will be running dead-eyed CIA officers whose campaign ads are just them graphically describing what war crimes they will do to Republicans

A UPS plane just fucking exploded on takeoff from Louisville, looks like a critical engine malfunction

You’d think it would be a major scandal at least in certain circles that the CEO of America’s most valuable defense contractor gets absolutely blasted on heroic amounts of cocaine before going on TV and screaming about his stock being down 5%

Cross posting from X The Everything App: the viral claim that the highest earning 10% of Americans account for the majority of consumer spending is off by more than a factor of 2. The actual number for top decile spending is 23% of the total.

Let me be extremely clear about something here: in a real scientific discipline you cannot go from reading a blog post about the topic to director of the largest research institute in the field in a year and change. This is as close as proof as you're going to get that this is a fraudulent group

A crank take of mine that really pisses people off is that I believe a major contribution to police violence in the US is that a ton of cops have lead poisoning from indoor ranges making them impulsive and dumb, and fixing this would have huge positive effects www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/re...

Nowhere in this article is there any attempt to grapple with municipal finance beyond going "I don't understand this but it involves banks so it's a scam", nor any discussion of *why* Chicago is in a fiscal crisis, just warmed over OWS left-populist conspiraslop. thebaffler.com/latest/payin...

Bad for Discourse and also bad for all the people who might get Chernobyl'd that the ending of "we should have more nuclear power" has gone from "by making it easier for Westinghouse and Bechtel to build them" to "by gutting the NRC at a Trumpy shitco's behest" www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

So I guess the Xi meeting didn’t go as intended?

Ron DeSantis plans to make up the hole in the state budget from abolishing property tax by swing trading some $IREN it seems

>OpenAI IPO >Planning on filing S1 in 2H26

A much larger and more perniciously influential stream of left-wing thought than the No Bedtimers is the DSA Grover Norquist Caucus; here we see a U.K. affiliate at work. I’m afraid taxes will need to be raised on the middle class (via property and income) and the poor (via VAT) as well as the rich.

Time to take a big sip of wine and read the Grokipedia article on “India”

Suggesting SNAP be replaced with food banks is a proposal of equivalent seriousness to that anarchist thread a few years back suggesting that global insulin supply chains could be replaced by supporting “rural doctors and healers”

I would have to say that my biggest policy disagreement with Zohran so far is his lack of a firm commitment to publicly executing prominent real estate Twitter personalities immediately post-inauguration

I don’t want to get too galaxy brained because the simplest explanation is usually correct with this administration, but isn’t the WH bunker located below the former East Wing? Is it possible that Trump is expanding/renovating the bunker as well?

Elon replacing the entire Twitter recommendation algorithm with Grok stochastically ranking your tweet’s vibes will be another exciting experiment in how to waste $1 billion a year to ruin a social media site in a completely novel way.

In fairness, literally this same family also kind of caused the Great Depression so it is somewhat in character

More like Pod Damn America amirite folks,,,

This is a real deep cut pardon because unlike the crypto guys he’s flat broke and the company is worthless, so they’re just pardoning him for the love of the game (the game is fraud)

Periodic reminder that the only worthy successor to all the good bits of Marx is the Bureau of Economic Analysis' "Concepts and Methods of the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts" and not anything produced by self-identified Marxists.

How has Harper’s gooning discourse hit Twitter but not broken containment here, it’s like tailor-made to produce the most insane reactions you’ve ever seen once is metastasizes

Gamers love claiming that their objection to paying more is not a childish consumerist tantrum, but actually Noble Concern For Abused Workers Exploited By Greedy Executives. In fact, gaming companies have very high median pay and below-average CEO pay ratios compared to other large companies.

I'm getting the feeling that the sensitive introverts on Bluesky might not enjoy the experience of working a hard-charging sales job on a trading floor with a bunch of former college lacrosse players

Wow it turns out the company that gobbled up 70% of the market share in the burrito taxi industry was only able to do it by deliberately violating immigration law in order to secure a massive pool of cheap labor wedded to their platform specifically. Who could have guessed?

I think the government just hates short sellers on principle lmao there's no other reason to do this

Look all I’m saying is that the GMU econ twink was just early, not wrong per se

Part of the cost of mining for gold is digging empty holes. Part of the cost of mining for AOCs and Mamdanis is striking the occasional Fetterman. In both cases long-term success is determined by how good you are at giving up. When someone gives you a free shot like a Nazi tattoo, take it!

Things are not going well in Argentina, official exchange rate has now decoupled from the market-implied exchange rate to the tune of about 8%

I hope everyone has learned a valuable lesson today about the perils of vibes-based vetting of populist candidates via cliquish social media ingroup signaling

UK quit rents are such a delightful bit of financial theater, like how an entire London borough worth a gazillion dollars is rented from the king for like 16 horseshoes and 5 pence or whatever and everybody dresses up in robes once a year to deliver them to the king’s agent.

If you're concerned about the moral hazard of massively positive long-term forward returns of index funds, I have good news for you and bad news for everyone else.

I asked Grok (certified anti-woke) to compile a list of impeachable offenses that Trump committed since October 1. It came up with eight: habeas violations for immigrants, Venezuela boat strikes, cryptocurrency, Epstein coverup, impoundment, cutting Colombia aid, SE Asia RE deals, and DOJ abuses.

At the current rate of taboo violation, by mid next week Trump will be tweeting out a grainy cellphone video of him using the original copy of the Constitution as toilet paper to try and shock the libs

I didn’t bother reading it so can someone please confirm my intuition that the “off the shelf protein powders had 10x more lead than safety limits” story basically amounts to “we used the CA prop 65 limits which are 0.1% the limits in every other western country”?

Pritzker winning a million dollars at the blackjack tables is so pimp. That man has my vote for life.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

You can IB Stephen Miran if you feel like it:

There are uncertain future profits and certain future losses due to D&A of capex. If these both end up in the same entity it is bad for them, but if you can shuffle the deck so someone else eats the loss (eg, CRWV lenders), then many cos can do very well even if profits are far lower than expected.

October 15th is definitely the right date to first input your 3 K-1’s into TurboTax and find out that it can’t calculate your special snowflake deductions correctly to the tune of six figures and you need to redo everything by hand
