Here's a map of the Roman road network in the time of Hadrian, ~125 CE. There were 29 military highways, 372 great roads joining 113 provinces. In total, it was more than 400,000 km of roads (250,000 miles). For comparison, the US interstate highway system is ~48,000 miles of road.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

@josephpolitano.bsky.social an idea for an article, using $Trump coin as a measure, how much does influence with the president costs www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

@josephpolitano.bsky.social Assuming the tariffs stay like this, are tariffs on china higher than they were on liberation day?

there are two types of italians and they are both laughing

I agree that the world would be a better place if Stifler got all of Chris Pratt's roles, but maybe that's a little on us for still calling him Stifler

The first question I've been getting in all chats around the IMF/WB spring meetings: how big is the political risk premium in the US Dollar and how much worse will it get? Lots of buzz how European investors are making a structural reallocation away from the US and how Asian SWFs are doing the same.

“We’ll have to find out what the truth is” What a great idea! We should invent some sort of “process” that allows us all to discover that truth

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Nice

They're not fascists, they just think we're in a state of exception due to the pollution of the polity and citizen body by undesirable racial elements whose removal is of such paramount importance that it transcends the dictates of the law, justified by their embodiment of the Will of the People.

This week, UCS and partner organizations—represented by @publiccitizen.bsky.social—filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration for removing public data from key climate and environmental justice websites.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

We should get used to just calling these malicious disgusting lies instead of “something the White House has provided no evidence for.” It shouldn’t even be considered that this Administration is potentially operating in good faith about anything until they prove it.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Authoritarian lie upon lie. *We are talking about a non-criminal (who is likely representative of many others), not a terrorist *Trump admin says that nothing they can they can do, El Salvador is a sovereign country *President of El Salvador says nothing he can do, can't violate US laws

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia? BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous TRUMP: These are sick people

YOU MOTHERFUCKER I WAS LITERALLY 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM PUBLISHING AN ARTICLE NOW I HAVE TO RUN THE ANALYSIS ALL OVER AGAIN TOOK YOU TEN DAYS TO REMEMBER WHAT A SMARTPHONE WAS AND GIVE TIM APPLE HIS BRIBERY EXEMPTION, MEANWHILE YOU STILL HAVEN'T FUCKING EXEMPTED BANANAS

EU AND CHINA START NEGOTIATIONS TO ABOLISH EU TARIFFS ON CHINESE ELECTRIC VEHICLES - HANDELSBLATT

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

77 million Americans voted for this chaos.

Chinese century unlocked, thx Trump

Some Russian channel uploaded a dubbed version of my SDA video without my consent. This is the back-end. I can ignore it, remove/strike it, or contact them. There is no option to claim the ad revenue. The next time a reactor says it's unfair to strike them, know that that's the only real option.
