This is modern media. Everything else is traditional media.

This is a very good read - www.slowboring.com/p/sixteen-th...

A cool chart of who owns the stonks. - US Households own a lot, but much more through intermediaries like mutual funds & ETFs - Light grey pension funds shrink as 401Ks took off - Foreign ownership adds 15% to market value (purple)

It's important to have a diverse and flourishing media ecosystem for capitalism based democracies to work. Competition is the sunlight every one needs.

There will be a lot of growth in podcasts and new journalism in the next decade. It will become like NBA sports teams with a galaxy of journalists n talk show people going independent or coming together in small groups to do their own thing.

For the first time Americans are following the German election. The center left lost major vote share to the classical conservative (CDU) and the far right (AfD). The FDP centrists (yellow) also gained. Paradoxically, the left (purple) also 2x share?

Why a stable global order and trade matter. 28 percent of S&P500 revenue comes from outside US. Less international revenue. Lower stock market. Skinny 401K. Lower wealth.

To assess prosperity, real median household income is a pretty useful metric. One can see the difference in this chart between GDP / Capita and what the 50th percentile household earned in LAST 45 years. The gap is obvious.

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

This is also a valuable resource for sky users theblue.report

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

If you are a retail investor trying to buy the trump coin in coinbase (of all places) it is already too late. The smart money is already made and you are likely to be left holding the bag.

A startup is needed to invent a better way to detect, limit, and rapidly extinguish wild fires. This mimics the paradigm of recovery oriented security. We have the ingredients to build a solution 1/n

One for you, one for the spouse, one for the kid(s) - Roth limits are per person.

Good financial advice. Check the whole thread.

New year reminder: 1) Maximize 401K contributions or at least put 2 paychecks aside each year in 401K (min 2 out of 26 - often hard but you can do it!) 2) S&P 500 TOTAL RETURNS beats most assets. Remember to confirm "Reinvest dividends" to compound the dividends (this is the TOTAL RETURN part)

Dec 24 will go down in history as the day there was a great war on X. Who or what are Groypers? Are they maga? Who is Laura Loomer - is it a bot account? These are the existential questions to ponder on :) (I knew this would happen. Was earlier than expected)

One of the most important things you can read to learn about "influence operations". How foreign actors drive a wedge in society www.trustwave.com/en-us/resour...

Good morning. Have a blessed and positive day.

Is it just me or is everyone seeing "debanking" trend as the new rage point. All of a sudden, one day we woke up, to find an army of the debanked.

Happy Thanksgiving America. Hug your friends and family on either aisle. Talk about things and don't fight on this most beautiful of holidays. Thankful to wake up today in the #MostAmazingUSA. We will always be #BetterTogether.
