Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925.

Interesting reporting by Fox on Iran buildup. If true, the Abraham Lincoln isn't making haste towards Iran.
This lines up with what I've been seeing in OSINT re: the carrier group isn't making top speed

VIX Futures are flat/slightly down right now. Very interesting that all this Greenland/sanctions news is not moving volatility pricing up at all
Not saying this means it’s a nothing-burger but the most liquid 24/7 market (Bitcoin) isn’t moving at all on these UK press headlines. I find that somewhat surprising!

A DoorDash spokesperson confirmed the same to me.
I followed up by asking is "inflation has been tamed" not something one should conclude from this report? The spokesperson said: "The White House can use the language that they are using on that. I’m not going to speculate on that."

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed."
I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

RW media spin-cycle is still in effect.
NYP has the Epstein story front and center but is spinning it as a Clinton scandal.
Fox and WSJ have it buried on their home page, Fox is basically turned into a Michael Wolff story, WSJ is spun less but still leads with a GOP vs. D "cherry-picking" framing

If you're concerned, please blow in a paper bag for a sec, drink some water, and then read this thread. If you're *still* concerned, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Long thread summary: TikTok guy is full of it, SRF uptake has nothing to do with banks' credit performance (which is *improving* rn), SRF uptake is a sign of the system working as designed, and it's all because we made banks more stable by forcing them to manage liquidity more responsibly. FIN

The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

It sounds like the tech CEOs have more sway here than the immigration hardliners (Miller/Vance). Or maybe he's just a sucker for something he can charge a price for ($100k H1B fee)
TRUMP: You have to bring in talent
INGRAHAM: Well, we have plenty of talented people in America
TRUMP: No you don't. No.

2024 analysis is complicated, but I agree looking forward
Autocracy doesn't need broad support to survive if it can de-mobilize and de-motivate opposition. In 2026 + 2028 voters need to have faith that dems will fight for them. "Both parties suck" and cynicism will be easier for the GOP to exploit

I’m already seeing people insist that even with this capitulation the Democrats will still sweep 2026 because Trump is that bad. It was precisely that attitude that gave us 2024.
