People thinking about the look through function for trump being president, crash first, inflation later. It won't be long until the look through function is a world without trump in charge

With UST month-end extension and residual quarterly re-balancing best to delay narrativing until tomorrow. Word to the wise

anon, what if you could train your own personal offline model, on your phone, suited to your tastes, filtering posts with ~ bad vibes ~ and letting good ones through? well, have i got the thing for you

Do Marxists ultimately invent surge pricing? Kantorovich's efforts to plan an economy quickly led him to dynamic pricing for resource allocation. theodiamandis.com/blog/2025/pr...

Many strokes are "cryptogenic," the fancy medical term for we don't know why. A new study using A.I. of brain MRI images points to the ability to accurately determine if atrial fibrillation was causal. www.thelancet.com/journals/ecl...

I don't remember this many clowns in 1984.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

Standing in line at the post office, getting close to the front. Some lady in front of me had her money order returned because the price went up 2 cents in the middle of the month. The bar was so low guys. They made her pay the difference

Wait till corporations realize that this is another chance price gouge, while higher prices are cheered on by a bunch of bluesky users going I told you so

If I were other countries, it would be so easy for Brazil to say to Canada. "You seeing this shit? If we work together here are ways we can carve up America's marketshare"

I almost feel like the tech right said, AI is going to be so revolutionary and changes everything, so they thought now was a perfect time to burn it all down

We arent used to a "non-rational" reaction function. People are going to get caught flat-footed by what is going on, because the answer is things are going to get more expensive

Modern supply chains don't look like trade theory 101! They involve constant border crossings, each now hit by tariffs. Tariffs raise prices, but the more important thing they do is disrupt supply relationships. 1/

Under the radar is how you get anything done anymore

It's really simple guys, just be prepared for things to be alot more expensive. That day is not that far away

Health policy is kinda like Helms Deep to the Rohan. "They do not come to destroy Rohan's crops or villages. They come to destroy its people. Down to the last child." What a buncha orcs

I love Spotify, podcasts are the future. It's biggest failure is I can't force it to stop playing the All-In when other shows finish I am certain, I am never interested in their POV. The one star review isn't enough

I think one issue I have with jumping off the X ship is the chaos climbers win if you refuse to play their game.

Inflation is going to be so high

The problem is, and always will be, this is effective on the margins.

That sound you hear is AI Sam fanatically calling DC to gin up another red peril scare to get himself on of those US protection act like Zuck got last year

The tariffs were rescinded when Don Jr. begged his pappy to keep those shipments from Colombia coming.

New data coming out of CDC (despite ban on communication) on respiratory virus status; confirms past-peak for Covid, RSV www.cdc.gov/respiratory-...

you remember those couple of weeks where it was, like, really obvious to us all that covid was about to hit real hard but they sort of pretended it wasn't

Why does a polling widget on slack have a paid tier? AI is going to eat B2B SAAS for breakfast

Just saw google flex their monopoly power in the hospitality industry. Shot across the bow for booking.com and Expedia. But who is going to stop them?

Trump: “I would like lower interest rates.” The genie:

Elon Musk airlifted to the hospital with severe burns after attempting to impregnate a toaster
