I sat down for a nice long chat on the Nick Standlea Show
about the economics of AI: How it's changing our labor market, who it's going to help and hurt, how policy can help, and what each of us can do to stay relevant.

The trader guys woke up this morning in the same clothes as last night, covered in margarita stains and their own vomit.

Then the realisation hit. A 125% tariff on China and 10% tariff on 200 other countries isn’t a “pause on tariffs”.

Une donnée importante à rappeler: la concentration de CO2 dans l'atmosphère se situe à 427 PPM. Or, selon le GIEC, celle-ci ne doit pas dépasser 350 ppm afin de limiter le réchauffement à 1,5 ˚C, soit l'objectif le plus ambitieux de l'Accord de Paris. Graphique publié par The Guardian:

The hubris here is just incredible.
A federal judge DENIED the Trump admin's bid to vacate a 5 p.m. hearing probing whether they violated his order to turn back the flights to El Salvador.

Trump DOJ's top ranks claimed no hearing was necessary because they denied a violation.

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

There is no such thing as left.
There is no such thing as right.
There is only good analysis and bad analysis,
Correct facts, errors, and lies,
And moral and immoral instincts.

this is an important constraint. trump&co may not care about what happens to them legally. but a career civil servant at doj is going to want to preserve their bar license.
4/ One other mediating factor is that judges can sanction lawyers/refer them for bar discipline. So if Trump admin ignores court orders, they start running out of lawyers in good standing—even lawyers who share the admin’s ideology—willing to put their names on things in court.

Encore une fois, pour ceux derrière : Je rappelle à votre mémoire les écrits de la grande philosophe Hannah Arendt :
«Pour s’implanter, le totalitarisme a besoin d’individus isolés et déculturés, déracinés des rapports sociaux organiques, atomisés socialement et poussés à un égoïsme extrême.»

I wish every Dem office would read this and internalize it. "The only sensible and dignified course of action is to accept that Republicans are in charge and to focus in on making their unpopular actions as painful as possible...The job of the opposition is quite literally to oppose. Get to it."

On the first point, Putin has completely failed. He has become a laughing stock across the world. He has never been viewed more unfavorably, and never been seen to be this weak.

On the second point, Ukraine is demanding security guarantees for peace. Which is the opposite of what Putin wants.
