maybe a hot take? not only is ziggy sobotka a great character and a great performance (RIP james ransone), but looking back from the vantage point of today, "young man struggling with his masculinity and yearning to be recognized as a man commits catastrophic violence" is incredibly prescient.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Looks like a potential Democratic House has found its open-ended investigation target: hugely profitable irregular trading on the stock market, prediction markets, and commodities markets connected to the Iran war; how that same war is driving up energy prices for everyone else: and the SEC’s 1/2

Four years ago, Russia launched an illegal, unjustified invasion of Ukraine.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Redistribution expert here: no.
The riding expanded into Conservative territory.
In 2021 Poilievre won by 15.6%, but if it was contested under the 2025 boundaries, he would have won it by 20%.
It was made more "safe" for him — and yet he lost.
fact checking this sort of stuff is exhausting

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

The more I watch security-related pressers, the more I feel the impulses of journalists can push us towards irresponsible coverage.
I'm watching journalists try really hard to tease out the narrative China was trying to weave in an influence campaign as security officials tell them it's unhelpful.

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

The lesson of the Trump era, if nothing else, is that it will always be worse than you would expect. If you still haven’t learned that, get out of punditry.
CNBC reacts right after Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement: "And the market reaction after hours -- I’ve never seen anything like it. This -- I think, fair to say -- is worse than the worst-case scenario of the tariffs that many in the market expected the president to impose."

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.
