"To the moon!"

No lies detected.

The only finfluencer worth following.

There's a lesson here in this charts: this kind of propaganda cannot exist without the social media giants cooperating with the government. People don't believe politicians all that much, but they do believe the "friendly" randos on X. The EU should treat social media like they treat TV stations.

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

It's not lying, it's bespoke reality.

The EC has preliminarily found TikTok in breach of EU law (DSA) due to features fostering addictive behavior, especially for children and vulnerable adults. It demands a fundamental overhaul of the app and its algorithms, warning that noncompliance could result in fines exceeding $1 billion. 👍

This is nerd music!

The Russians are already funding these though.

Big news.

It was emojis all the way up, it's memes all the way down.

French Response at it again! I am enjoying the snark.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

After Claude agents are deployed everywhere, what do you think software developers will be named? I propose "heirloom agents". Or "artisan coders".

The Olympics started with a bang.

Mad if true. Sigh... A lot of policy emanating from the US can be described like that lately.

Got to give to the French. That is an official account.

Software developers and other IT professionals are/will be going through it in 2026. Better get the Linkedin profiles up to date and ready for the layoffs :(.

Abracadabra began as a protective charm in ancient Rome. Its roots may lie in Aramaic, Greek, or abraxas, but nothing’s certain. Over time, it shifted from healing amulet to the go‑to magic word on stage. Reveal the history behind this famous spell ➡️ w.wiki/AvuJ

They're both owned by the same person! How is this merger going to fail? Who is negotiating?

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

That's one way of looking at things, definitely. Remind me, who was at the very top of the world order until very recently? And is that reordering affecting their position?

Not enjoying the drop in precious metals today. Mostly because the people who got it to go parabolic this month are going to start bidding up something else next month, with the money they made from this trade.
