the next democratic president and congress should revive the idea of world's fairs. the idea behind this would be great if it hadn't been planned and executed by a group of incompetent groyper shitbags

thats fucked up. she should have bought some for the rest of us

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

The Democratic posting wars have begun in earnest. Yes senator, get his ass

“.. I find it interesting when I hear that AI is deflationary/disinflationary. If you look at something like CPI software, the price level has been in a deflationary trend for decades. Yet over the past 6 months, it has clearly broken out and increased at a 59% annualized pace.” - Schwab

The basic point here is obviously true. We can structure markets in an infinite number of ways with radically different outcomes in terms of inequality. It's astounding that so few intellectual-types seem to notice or care.

Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards suggested that the way to break the GOP's back was: 1. Crackdown on MLMs 2. Regulation of supplements 3. Legalizing direct sale of vehicles Regardless of what it does to the GOP, these all sound great to me.

You were, basically, stealing from Subway. They had their rules for their company and you decided not to abide by them. What you do with your own business is up to you but what you did was wrong at Subway.

This is going to be my default response to a lot of things going forward

GIMP is objectively unintuitive and also can’t parse text layers of PSDs properly, it’s designed by FOSS people that have never created tools for professionals. Telling someone to use it for their job is like saying you can make a feature on iMovie. Technically true but not serious.

I’m sorry guys I can’t be a transit booster anymore. I’ve had way too many Amtrak delays, way too many issues with the subway, and way too many problems with even air travel to recommend anything but cars. Crucify me for this if you want but I just can’t deal with it anymore

When all this is over, we'll have to do some hard thinking what gold has become. Yesterday it sold off on the US bombing Iran. Today it's up on hopes of a peace deal. I don't need to hold gold to get that kind of price action. I can just hold the S&P 500... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/has-gold-l...

I want you to notice how this article, which took two journalists to write, doesn't even bother to seriously explore whether the claims being made by companies are true it's genuinely just not relevant to them

"No, Liz, it's not Evan Almighty. It's Ethan Almighty, a movie about a rescue dog. Kelsey Grammer plays the Governor of Kentucky. I'm the voice of the dog."

the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

he still sees himself as American. Despite everything, EVERYTHING, this government and this nation did to him, he sees the strangers and neighbors who rallied to his side because it was RIGHT, and he chooses to believe in that America. He looks at America and sees HOME.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt
