I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Ill never understand why people let religious wackos say and do insane things like this under a guise of fake love and concern.

Javier Bardem says "Free Palestine!" while at the Emmys and "I won't work" with any company that is in business with Israel: "I cannot work with somebody who justifies or supports the genocide."

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

They think we’re all so stupid

Bret Stephens and the NYT played major roles in manufacturing consent for the Iraq War. Now they appear to be running the same playbook on Venezuela.

The Bari Weiss Newsmaxification of @CBSNews is a sight to behold, and marg brennan seems content to go right along with it

Larry Summers steps back from public commitments, ‘deeply ashamed’ by Epstein revelations

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

Eugenics is described as a “science” which “derives from the fundamental biological reality that many human traits, including cognitive ability, physical health, and behavioral dispositions, possess substantial genetic components”

Lol

The framing here shows how off-kilter the press is. Trump is walking weakness! He's got tons of bluster but he's not some unstoppable juggernaut. He's a historically unpopular president who's lost over and over in court and is relying more and more on authoritarian means to push his agenda. Weak!

"Roughly 29% of lower-income households are living paycheck to paycheck, up slightly from 2024 and from 27.1% in 2023..."

In the age of AI, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein gets the monster right: -Preening college dropout founder desperate to troll and provoke -Secures financing from war profiteer -Unethically harvests key materials for startup from people living and dead without consent -Takes 0 responsibility

The comparison isn’t perfect but I kind of think Olivia Nuzzi is to journalism what Jake Paul is to boxing. Influencer culture usurping institutions and turning outrage and negative engagement into maximum clicks and therefore value, plus it flatters elite interests

I know it’s hard to keep up with all the old white pedophile groomers but Errol Musk divorced Elon’s mom to be with Elon’s sister (Errol’s adopted daughter)

Might not be tomorrow, but it will happen. See: 3/3 ca.investing.com/news/stock-m...

LMAO -- Ted Cruz is on Fox News talking about running for president in 2028

Children are being used as guinea pigs as adults test AI products on them. “'We’re sharing some examples from educators about how they’re using AI in interesting ways, some of which might prove sturdy and some of which might prove faulty. And we won’t know which is which for a long time.'”

New from me this morning, a deep dive on Elon Musk's Grokipedia-- the forthrightness of the white nationalist and eugenic advocacy in many entries surprised me and the experts I spoke to www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Disability is, as ever, the only minority that anyone can join at any time, and which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long.

This is an example of a Democrat who takes his existing base for granted. He just assumes they're willing to be associated with *anyone* especially without precondition like they Jesus or something.

I kinda figured this narrative would be rewritten. Who is actually a single mother in the US no longer fits old models of poverty and blackness. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

Once again the tech billionaires choose a name that indicates they have no idea how the story ends or what it means. Reading is hard.

“Do you have any goals that weren’t given to you by social media?”

Gen AI doesn't understand how anything works.

Nvidia's earnings drop on November 19th and I'm curious to see them

When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

You cant call a technology "transformative" if it, at a minimum, doesnt offer anything of value humans are incapable of doing. The most transformative technologies allowed humans to do things we *couldnt* do before. They didnt merely do the things we already were doing.

Gen AI isnt even in the top 50 of the most transformative technological innovations in human history.

I am a technological history nerd. In fact, if I wasnt an engineer and teacher, I'd do research and write about how key technologies throughout history came to be.

Before the discovery of electromagnetism i.e. the telegraph and then the radio, there was no way possible to have near instantaneous communication anywhere on Earth. Gen AI is offering nothing *remotely* in that magnitude of value.

People who understand technology least be having the strongest opinions about it.

Literally none of this is true.

Peter Thiel has now sold his entire stake in Nvidia and 76% of his Tesla shares. Michael Burry's entire portfolio is now short positions in Nvidia and Palantir. Softbank has now sold its entire stake in Nvidia.

The "fall down when running away from the antagonist" trope in movies and TV shows is stale af.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

We still dont know how Epstein made his money. No one does.

This is good news www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

TALK YO SHYT!

The longtime journalist Tina Brown says she is “burning with resentment” at the “digital barons” who have taken over some of the media’s biggest outlets. On “The Interview,” she shares what gives her hope that people can fight back against the superrich. Read or listen here. nyti.ms/49TKIaw
