Is $ORCL TBTF? We might find out.

One year later and I decided to check in on this MSTX security. They've lost 94% of their value in that time. 😆

New post by @dkthomp.bsky.social is excellent, although I wish he had raised the saliency of good news in the world. GLP-1 drugs are miracles. AVs are saving lives. Solar + Batteries are simply winning. mRNA, cultured meat, EVs, robotics....the future is here. www.derekthompson.org/p/the-26-mos...

This week, I used ChatGPT to plan my meals in order to hit target macros. I also used ChatGPT to figure out some tests on my shoulder in order to diagnose what was bothering me. And that says all you need to know about me in particular and sensible people who don't fear technology in general.

Many of my Millennial and GenX friends on the far left are choosing to make themselves less capable and less relevant and it's wild to watch. #AI

Absolutely.

The good thing for Democrats is probably to not waste tens of millions of dollars on a failed TX Senate race.

More homogeneous (and smaller) user base + more neurotic users + normies leaving = survivorship bias. That’s why shunning is more prevalent here than on Twitter

“We’re going to prevent all mergers” just means the mergers will happen when the other guys are in charge. Hopefully next time Dems will have a more thoughtful approach and facilitate some mergers on terms they find acceptable.

This is crazy. Also, when is Europe going to wake up to the fact they're in a war?

Who at #Spotify thought up this rage bait of "Listening Age"? It's either pure genius or absolute stupidity.

Do my parents need to report income they got in 2025 from the drug prices that were reduced by 500% this year?

Klein / Yglesias Derangement Syndrome is something to behold on this site.

#AI helped me improve the design of these guys this year. No joke.

The only way to deal with these terrible numbers is to go to war.

The rug pull the Bears are going to pull on their fans will be epic.

Half the country says the key to making America great is kicking out all the immigrants and the other half says we just need to tax billionaires. And I'm stuck here in the middle with you.

Seems like this should be a bigger news story.

If the LLM models and tooling continue to improve, I suspect @manifest.ly will increase spending on #AI APIs by 5-10x in 2026. We increased our spending in 2025 by 9x over 2024. We increased our spending in 2024 by 8x over 2023. We first subscribed to the OpenAI API in December of 2022.

Mamdani is making some good moves wrt housing and my pessimism is changing to optimism regarding his ability to lead NYC. And Kate Willett losing her mind is a cherry on top.

This is good.

These boys are going to lose billions in market cap.

This is one of Matt's things and maybe his biggest/best/most important. 🏗️🏡

Young people in congress can hear the message, the olds don't seem to be hearing it.

I’ve noticed unusually many references to the ‘Epstein resolution’ (just one example ⬇️). Where did that come from? It is a bill, not a resolution.

It's good to see Rep. Perez provide some leadership for the Democrats. My representative @pocan.house.gov failed in his duty to let voters decide elections, not politicians. Pathetic and tone deaf on his part.

Some days on this app I choose violence. Today is one of those days.

Was looking at pickup truck listings and one of them had this. "Bought thinking it was a 4x4, but it is a 2x4" I have questions.

These goobers are the absolute dumbest people in congress.

"Meet me in Temecula"

Hanging in the DR (surfing) and this little Ukranian/Russian shop sells Riga Smoked Sprats Pate and OMG! So good. I must track this stuff down in the states.

Montell Jordan playing in my mind when I see this.

I think markets might be a bit more efficient than this.

What's the longest field goal ever?

More of this.

I am going to sit on my hands until we know for sure, but when we do, I'm going to complain about Chuck fucking Schumer.

I wish I was 1/1000 as cool as this 15 year-old kid.

Trump has won Maine's 2nd CD three straight times, but the lefties with an axe to grind about the pro-moderation idea will always be OK with losing as long as it is losing with a lefty who signals the virtues that make them feel good. Also, with IRV, these numbers are not bad for Golden. 🤷‍♂️

Sam's envy shines through here. So jealous of the "Abundance bros" that he thinks liking one member of a team precludes a person from disliking another member of that same team. 🤷‍♂️ I think he does this b/c his bsky fans eat this shit up.

I purposely did not follow the NYC mayoral race, but reading up now and Mamdani's top initiatives are: Free buses Rent freeze Public groceries Free childcare (while increasing worker wages) 200,000 new units of permanently affordable, union-built, rent-stabilized homes Yowza. Good luck with that.

An interesting start. I've resisted commenting on the NYC Mayor elect and will try to avoid it.

Us home buyers are in absolutely no rush in this market.

There are so many organizations kicking themselves for not having come up with this idea.

We can pick up two congressional districts in 2026. I think Cooke is a lock in the 3rd, but I'm not confident with Bryce in the 1st (if he gets the nomination). Polymarket has Democrat winning Gov. race at 63% in a tiny market. WI state Assembly and Senate? 🤷‍♂️ polymarket.com/event/wiscon...

Most Dems get too excited about special election results. Most leftists get too excited about blue city mayoral races. Most Republicans don't get excited enough about either of these.

It's kinda like the movie "Inception", but dumber.
