Greatest trick internet platforms ever played was convincing societies they're not responsible for contents & equate them to free speech.Sooner governments realize that SM in its current form, and X in particular, are detrimental to societal progress the less painful it will be to fix this

Bad news is they are right, high productivity gains in menial tasks means bottom of the pyramid, where juniors learn, narrows. This is in an already shrinking industry
There is going to be some profoundly annoying tone in how older PMs talk about this that is characteristic of boomer entitlement, similar to the superior tone in which older 2007 distressed or 2010-2021 tech guys act and talk about

My favourite thing reg Epstein files is whoever is making money buying up expired domains to feed off conspiracy theorists. Ex: "Pizza menu=clearly little children. Look at how sketchy website is"Except that it got re-registered in 2026 and looked like the other picture at the time of email

Whole Epstein thing reminded me of Sean Parker(Victoria Secret->Social Network scene) and holy crap he hasn't posted since 2019 and has been AWOL? I'm surprised he didn't turn into a vocal POS a le Chamath, kinda respect that

1) The echelons of power are filled with very average people that somehow ended up there one way or another
2) As always, all roads lead to Russia. The Putin regime poses an essential threat to Europe and if Europe doesnt end it the regime will end Europe

Nothing too surprising here. FBI agents involved say at this point both Thiel and Musk were targets of what was perhaps the largest and most elaborate recruitment operation that Russian intelligence was running, and the most successful.

Many multi-billion fund managers aren't worth that.Unlike public at large, you should point out what very clearly was happening and why ppl invested in a *nobody*(hi Leon). Would rather read about that than minister of agriculture of Tanzania "implicated" because someone wrote his name in one email
Incredible all the talk reg. Epstein for yrs, if he so much as wrote your name on his book your reputation is ruined, but financial media doesnt highlight that dude was worth $800 million and that the P&L associated with being worth that is very significant yet nobody on the street heard of him

La France, sous un feu croisé de désinformation russe et américaine

There is very few things more annoying than < 25 years old trying to jump on whatever VCs are trying to pump that year and vocally proclaiming it as their religion thinking its cool
9-9-6 was a Chinese term invented mostly to show how depressing and lifeless work culture was; watching softbrained AI guys adopt it as an ideal is ... well, entirely predictable

Tether is a fascinating case study of investing these days. Can you really just fraud your way into holding more Gold than central banks, or are you also lying now about your Gold holdings? I guess we will never know

I dont know man.. It would seem those guardrails are not so good in the US anyways?
Those Europeans who spent yesterday obsessing over Trump destroying the US would do far better to think about how the few guardrails that will stop him do not exist in most of our countries. Germany might be the only exception to this?

I think fighting migrant crisis narrative is unfortunately a lost cause. Social media amplifies shock value and made sure good investigative journalism like this is essentially dead. Took 4 journalists months to debunk a weird estate agent doing this. How do you even tackle rogue state nations?
This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

The arbiter of the largest superpower the world has ever seen, a superpower deeply integrated into a very specific global order it helped create and foster for 70 years and from which it deeply benefited, went on the global stage to tell the world that order is over and the markets just shrugged lol
I hadn't refreshed my ft mobile app so it opened with headlines from a few days ago and a completely unhinged option piece by the secretary of commerce. Only one kind of memory going up on Wall Street it seems

Meanwhile on the other site, investors write, with what i hope was the help of AI, lengthy diatribes that display complete lack of understanding of economic and finance concepts. Somehow these are probb some of the most successful at fundraising

An (admittedly belated) paranoia of mine is how little attention people *still* pay to China.Gap in knowledge on what is going on there vs its importance to wolrd/the global economy is astronomical
Anyhow, here is a billionaire philanthropist narrating first trip taken to China in.. 2026..
