How many forward rolls could you do in an emergency
Gundlach had a rant about ending the “you blow dry my hair, I blow dry yours” economy - wonder if it’s fine if everyone is stuck in the video game from hell driving each others waymos and manning each others house robots remotely
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

The Globe & Mail has published video shot by Russian filmmaker Anastasia Trofimova while embedded with Russian forces.
Trofimova directed Russians At War, the controversial film which sought to whitewash Russian atrocities in Ukraine.
Bewildering choice.

Sorry this just beggars belief if the ties came up in the vetting he could have said we will find someone else at literally any point. Centrists learning that not acting is still an action challenge level: impossible
Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.
But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.

Unraveling the fabric of reality and creating massive psychic damage are two features of this technology, they aren’t bugs and that’s been clear since the beginning directly from the people funding it and building it
While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.
Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Under no circumstances should your TV or other major appliance need to update its software and I think this is one place where we went very wrong as a society

Empowering local cops to do the same thing agents are doing allows them to retain the powers afforded by a stasi while making it less obvious to normies which is why it's a bipartisan play btw

Not that it matters at all but the entire thesis was that Bitcoin had built in scarcity value and that value should persist regardless of market volatility which would negate the need for a bailout - I'm not saying I ever agreed with this - I'm just saying that's what it says on the tin

What I like about this is that it simultaneously misunderstands why people trade gold and Bitcoin
SOME GOP LAWMAKERS PUSH TREASURY TO BUY BITCOIN Senator Cynthia Lummis has suggested Bessent buy Bitcoin using U.S. gold reserves. She told reporters last year she raised the idea with him and would support action under existing executive authority.

I feel like the newsletter conversation is exhausting because 1) no, they aren't that hard to set up but 2) how many of the people suggesting this are going to pay and not just hope someone posts a free copy of the most viral stuff somewhere? You can't have it both ways and expect people to live

In fairness to her Target has outlined this as their ideal customer base so she was just acting on those assumptions. Honestly surprised she wasn't blasting Taylor Swift from a speaker.
