Trump's warmaking driving up the cost of credit to levels last seen before the financial crisis.

Gun knowers: how the hell does this even happen with a safety? Does the FBI only have trigger safeties?

This is what always makes me laugh when people go “the Nissan factory made no difference to the Leave vote in Sunderland” - no, it probably did, you just are wildly overestimating how many *people* that was to begin with.

until july or whenever the convention is, when ossoff-aoc unites everybody here. twitter will collapse into a new material like trinitite composed of turbo-antisemitism and rage-horniness though

Who called the Ukroshahed a few years ago?

The artificial intelligence boom is leading to fights in some states over growing utility profits, as governors, attorneys general and others protesting rising electricity bills say cash-strapped residents are stuck in a broken system.

The U.S. doesn’t import solar panels from China. Too many tariffs first off. Even more than tariffs from other countries. Second, unless you can explicitly show them source of the silicon that makes up sub components - solar panels can’t enter the country. Fossil propagandists.

I have a suggestion open.substack.com/pub/deadcarl...

the inability to face this among IR analysts and geopolitical pundits is in large part because the strongest lens for understanding Trump are personal psychology, gender, and race, all of which have traditionally been weak points of understand in the field.

My son learned how to hiss at me from the cat.

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

If you thought the big problem in your party was voters thinking (in this case, wrongly!) that its leaders endorsed and ran on unpopular ideological positions, why would you spend millions of $ highlighting fringe pols and their positions? RNC doesn’t run ads highlighting fringe Republicans!

I remember in 2025 MAGA on twitter telling me Trump would be tough on China 🤣

This is a lot of @nilsgilman.bsky.social "deviant globalization."

With nukes and irredentist claims

Monitoring channels report that a Russian cargo ship carrying ammunition was hit in the port of Berdiansk after docking there today at 10:00 a.m. The attack is reportedly still ongoing.

The American consumer man… Damn

Happy CHPE online day to all that celebrate.

This person rules

Bah Gawd

Continuing the family legacy.

Everything MPU posts about data centers is complete garbage. They have zero respect for their audience. Literally no one here is losing power. This post is a complete lie. 🧵

It's such a cliche but this is how you get a weird period of hyperinflation. Economically unproductive economies lead to terrible outcomes, just ask West Virginia and Mississippi.

Tesla recalls Cybertrucks due to risk of wheels falling off

Lots of dunking on this but European Navies are better at the mine clearing and escort mission than the US Navy and that’s by design. Now Europe should consider this as leverage in every interaction with the US.

Congrats again to the Oracle of Summers & company, who seem to be totally missing from the National Conversation™️ now that Joe Biden is not in the White House & the actual things are actually happening

Happy Fervo IPO day!

i don’t have strong opinions on the data centers and there’s a lot of slopulism going around these days, but just to reiterate: the tech industry earned every ounce of hate it gets, regardless of the merits of this or that project

Ok....*now* you can say real wages are falling.

APNewsAlert: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — #Kuwait accuses #Iran of sending an armed Revolutionary Guard team to attack an island in the Middle East nation.

The pull quote here from part two about he difference between consuming and portraying is a great point about influencer content in general, but I was also quite taken with this situation, which should be immediately legible for Americans familiar with our social security system. We're so alike!

One thing that I wish I had made more explicit here was how Western viewers who are new to China aren't able to easily identify how class and poverty works in China because they're used to a system where those things are much more racialized than they are in China. Dubai is more western in this way.

What I find to be uncomfortable is how Chinamaxxing doesn't treat the country as a real place with real problems, it's somewhere that is everything your country isn't

This is a kind of classic Trump quote that he hasn’t done in a bit.

Free idea: figure out when did people rather than cash flow and ROIC became the way companies become evaluated.

What are they smoking?

is it good for a geothermal company to be cool?

It's not just many Americans on both sides of the political spectrum who believe this canard that Europe is somehow in a state of deep decay & immiseration, but most Europeans themselves seem to be afflicted with a paralyzing despondency, so these rejoinders are necessary.

The realist shit to ever appear in a gov memo.

To be fair to the OP, Will Stancil almost certainly does live a much better life than the median 30-40 year old American who spends all day reading about Will Stancil online.

On one hand I wholeheartedly support Representative Jayapal’s idea that we should tackle the housing crisis, but on the other, framing developers as the sole evil is horrendously inconsistent with reality on the ground. Look at this thread on parking for instance

I hate this illegal war but damn is this funny.
