Trump supporter lost $32,000 on #$TRUMP coin and blames Democrats. He made $1.4 billion pumping & dumping crypto on these rubes and they don’t even blame him.

KAILASH: “.. Making promises is one of Mr. Musk’s strengths. Delivering on them is not. His ability to continuously move investor attention from one failure to another ‘big idea’ is unrivaled.” @barrons.com #$SPCX www.barrons.com/articles/spa...

In November 1896, Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon became the first female state senator elected in the US--defeating her own husband. A doctor, suffragist & Utah women's rights advocate, she co-founded Utah's first State Board of Health. She was born #OTD in 1857. #WomenInSTEM

Marine biologist, physiologist & #NASA astronaut Jessica Meir made history by participating in the first three all-female spacewalks in NASA history (October 2019/early2020). She was born #OTD in 1977. #WomenInSTEM #marinebiology

“.. The SOXX itself is a pure form of overvaluation in an index, a form that is rarely seen and never so easily recognized as such,” he said. @wsj.com #$SOX #$CAT www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

The secret of Elon Musk’s business success is creating a permanent sense of being close to the next big breakthrough. Sometimes he delivers like reusable rockets and mass market EVs while other times it’s vaporware like the Hyperloop and full self driving. An iPhone killing AI device? Vaporware.

Trump “reported more crypto-related income last year than any publicly traded US digital-asset company earned.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Oil companies are blasting millions of gallons of toxic waste underground each year — less than a half-mile from Enid, Oklahoma’s water wells. But to protect their city, officials must appeal to the state agency that created the problem. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

The crypto legislation heading to the Senate floor must stop the President and his family from continuing to profit off crypto.

He's got just the one bit, folks. Every new idea is either acquired or stolen. Almost like a monopoly, I wonder if we have laws on the books against those

“After months of negotiating, I am thrilled to announce that the U.S. government has accepted our terms and agreed to sell us the Department of War,” said Palantir CEO Alex Karp

KRUGMAN: The dollar’s power to punish “is now greatly diminished because Trump’s Iran war demonstrated to other nations that they can bypass the dollar-centered world payments system — largely thanks to China.” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

“.. from the Dallas Fed's June services sector survey: "Artificial intelligence has not had any material impact on cost reduction or growth acceleration despite an increasing amount of investment." (via Schwab)

Kavanaugh files a concurring opinion in which he dissented, in part.

In Sweden, you get German industrialization, Silicon Valley innovation, and Bernie Sanders-like social policies. It can all peacefully coexist.

The sad part is 47% thinking that Paxton is fine inspite of his history

Essay: "Clark has ceased to be a mere basketball player. She’s become a mirror of a divided country — one that can’t seem to see eye-to-eye even when we’re all watching the same thing."

The Trump administration is fighting last year’s war by restricting access to GPT 5.6 and Fable/Mythos. With the release of GLM 5.2, it seems Chinese open source models are catching up to OpenAI and Anthropic in coding. As frontier labs raise AI token prices and gate access, open models will rise.

I could laugh at videos like this all day, every day!

Unfortunately, politicians and sports broadcasters keep convincing gullible citizens that stadium deals are economic drivers for the region. We keep getting scammed. www.currentaffairs.org/news/taxpaye...

I’ve run events with larger crowds…and not just at Anime Boston or PortConMaine. I’m talking about cons like Bakuretsu Con in Vermont.

Wonder whether something like that is already happening with the coal plants

“.. The prediction markets are just the wild, wild West,” said Susan Sherman, who .. lost her childhood home in the Palisades Fire. “I look at it as just being very crass and heartless.” @highcountrynews.org www.hcn.org/articles/peo...

Here’s last night’s story about the widespread redrawing of congressional maps across the country, what it means for the midterm elections, and a small but relevant copywriting note for Domino’s Pizza. https://youtu.be/x9U71_dAEC8

Wow…did not see this coming but am happy that did

Hey! A little bit of news: Soapbox Software is no more, we're now Aniline Applications There was a pre-existing Soapbox company that we weren't originally aware of who understandably asked us to change it. But now we have a cool new ambigram logo so it's not all bad 😄

Zero-emission trucks tripled their share of new US deployments in just six months, going from 1.32% in H1 2025 to 4.14% in H2 - the strongest period on record... Full story https://electrek.co/...

A classic east coast heat dome will be set up this week, bringing a sharp warming trend that will culminate on Thursday with widespread 90s, and, in some spots, heading toward the century mark. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx newenglandstormcenter.substack.com/p/new-englan...

#LibreOffice's marketing team spreads the word about the software (and the community behind it). Here's what they did in 2025: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/06... #foss #openSource #freesoftware

The Large Hadron Collider is shutting down but when it comes back it will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine! 💥 Looking forward to the High-Luminosity LHC (technically more *luminous,* in the sense of having way more proton collisions, rather than necessarily more powerful) in 2030!

Never before in the history of the United States has so much power been granted to a leader whose supporters demand so little accountability for the abuse of that power.

Q: What is the only known planet in the Universe to be inhabited entirely by Alien Robots? A: Mars.

A classic east-coast heat dome will be setting up this week. Wed to Fri will see a widespread heat wave in New England. The Connecticut River & Merrimack Valleys will be the hottest, where there is currently a 50-60% chance of air temps reaching 100°. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

More evidence that our adversaries exploit crypto to move billions. The Clarity Act, as it's currently written, would make this problem worse. Congress should be strengthening illicit finance standards, not creating new loopholes.

😂

Saw a horrifying stat this morning. Since the 2022 start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, somewhere betw/ 0.5 and 1 million Russian soldiers have been killed. (Ukraine's losses are more like high 10s of 1000s.) Think of all those kids, forced to die for the vanity of a weak, power-hungry man. 📰

Game over if Apple goes with an agent model using Chinese models

We are transferring trillions of dollars from young people to old people, yet wonder why young men feel anxious.

“I don’t know if anyone needs to think anymore. It’s AI, quantum computing, it seems like thinking is for poor people” - Dave Chappelle — This is the outcome of a successful marketing campaign by AI companies from the Super Bowl ads to all of the podcast interviews about AI displacing jobs.

All they need to do to fix headlines like this one is change "peace deal" to "supposed peace deal". It's like believing the kid saw a wolf after four consecutive months of endless false alarms. apple.news/ALqQpnvdrQTmR7SojU...

This is gonna happen more and more. As the established US companies fight for dominance with unsustainable capital spending, good enough Chinese models have to be just good enough as long as they have a significant price advantage.
