NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated. I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble. But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash. Waiting for the feds? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaa...

COUNTERPOINT: Marshmallows belong on sweet potato casseroles with the same alacrity that sweet potato casseroles belong in the garbage.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Is... he lactating?

it's actually really good our stock is down $500 billion, you fool, you absolute simpleton www.businessinsider.com/jensen-huang...

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Crying at Ronald Reagan bearing silent witness

If Mamdani invites Trump to Gracie Mansion and serves him 1980’s surf-and-turf and chocolate cake with a chilled can of Diet Coke in a graciously appointed dining room, we might be able to get Medicare For All. Dream big.

EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org

This is why commercial activity should be legal everywhere. A taco truck turns sleepy North Berkeley station into a thriving nightlife area. And no major costs for brick and mortar!

Do it.

One would expect this to have come to light much sooner if American techbros weren't generally indoctrinated to hold the liberal arts in disdain ...

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..." https://arxiv.org/html/2511.15304v1

What the fuck?

If, like me, you lost a loved one in the UK’s deadly second COVID wave, this WhatsApp chat will confirm that the then government has blood on its hands.

Elon Musk's relationship with Grok reminds me of that episode of Spongebob where Spongebob didn't want to make Plankton a krabby patty so Plankton put Spongebob's brain into a robot and the robot wouldn't make him a krabby patty either.

In email announcing new schedule for some data delayed by shutdown, BEA says some more statistics are being discontinued. These data relate to foreign investment in the US -- which Trump loves to claim he's boosting.

Here is Mary K. Bruce asking her questions. (If you still have an X account, you might consider showing @marykbruce and @abcnews some support for doing their jobs, which is an act of courage at this point.)

⚠️ That was fast: Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the state will appeal the redistricting decision to SCOTUS.

I can't imagine why someone would choose the pseudo-private school district in the mostly white and wealthy suburb over the revenue starved urban school district after over half a century of ossification. Why not live in the suburbs and get disproportionate subsidies from the government to do so?

She just, like...said it? Out loud?

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

There's a lot about this that's fucked up, but moving children's education to the Labor Department underscores such a warped idea of what education is actually for www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

You can oversee the bloody dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist with a bone saw, and the president of the United States will smile, shake your hand and threaten to pull the license of a news outlet whose reporter asks you a question about it. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Marjorie Taylor Greene's big takedown of Trump today is powerful because it broadcasts that he's losing control over the GOP. His sudden call for release of files wasn't about transparency. It was about sustaining the illusion that he controls the party. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2033...

People who say "we're wolves not sheep" have never seen two ewes trying to murder each other over relative status in the flock before they give birth, and then all their friends and family picking sides because being friends with the winner will raise THEIR status, until there is a massive brawl

Pete Hegseth’s church is part of Wilson’s sect, and Hegseth has praised Wilson.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Texas poked the bear.

SCOTUS being SCOTUS you assume they'll just stay this with an unsigned order and let the maps stand for 2026, but Texas really fucked this up they did not do a partisan gerrymander, as they could easily have gotten away with - they explicitly did a *racial* gerrymander in a hamfisted, blatant way

Shopping for kids can be difficult.

Everyone is downplaying that Mar-A-Lago is a vector in the Epstein pipeline so it’s good to point this out

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Still processing that an economic advisor to multiple administrations, business leaders, and top institutions was asking a known sex trafficker of minor age girls to be his wingman for attempting to coerce his academic mentee into a sexual relationship—years after he said that women aren’t as smart

I mean

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

can’t really express the level of contempt i have for what is just a form of solipsism. “the things that annoy me are the only things that exist and also the worst things imaginable”

Summers and Epstein:

Mellon seminar incoming: Is Shaking Down Famous Pedophiles a Sustainable Funding Model for Your Public Humanities Project? (led by Elisa New)

One of the reasons why this weekend's storm system is looking so impressive is that the associated airmass will be among the moistest on record for November in SoCal, with record or near-record column water vapor and integrated vapor transport in some areas. #CAwx

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action. Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways. www.science.org/content/article/u-s-congress-considers-sweeping-ban-chinese-collaborations
