I love Mike Ehrmantraut so much for the same reason as everyone; Hyper-competence.

But I wonder how much of that is due to me having Executive Dysfunction & it being a proxy power fantasy of just being able to actually execute things from start to finish.

INCREDIBLY funny to finally start talking about the K-Shaped Economic 'recovery' since 2020 and they chose Free Breakfast lol
From Hyatt to Holiday Inn, America's free hotel breakfast is facing a K-shaped economic threat
Free breakfast is a staple of the hospitality industry, but from Hyatt to Holiday Inn and Marriott, the economics and hotel business models are changing.

Buyer: "Thanks for the new Guitar man, I can't believe you're letting it go for this price!"

Owner: "Mm-hmm. Enjoy."

*gets home w/ guitar & opens*

Guitar: "A new hand touches the Stratocaster! Listen. Hear me and obey. A foul darkness has seeped into my temple. A darkness that you will destroy".

How do I get hired by WaPo to write vapid ragebait?

I could use the income and I have far better bits.
Also kinda funny that some people respond with "yes pursuit of science is more compatible with the values of the left"

While other say "no science doesn't lean left."

Note that AI began to stall in OCTOBER

What happened in October?

The Fed revealed that it was overexposed to the Cayman Islands to the tune of $1.4T dollars

Then 15 days later China announced it was restricting Silver starting Jan 1st, 2026

The game has been OBVIOUSLY over for AI since October

Imagine I'm probably ruining a few people weekend. And that warms my heart.

Be interesting to see if this actually gets a response.

Going to have to make some very uncomfortable phone calls w/ Massachusetts Representatives on Tuesday when the Governor's Office reopens

I am going to call every sitting congressperson in MA even mildly sympathetic to Anti-AI sentiment and inform them the State is about to spend $3M on a $1 product

The UK is arresting thousands of elderly peaceful protesters as terrorists, holding some for over 500 days w/o trial, & the person announcing this policy is the same Foreign Secretary who today called Russia "barbaric" for poisoning a neo-nazi whose network the UK was actively using for intelligence
Russia killed opposition leader Alexei Navalny using toxin from dart frog, UK says
There is no innocent explanation for the toxin being found in samples taken from Navalny's body, Foreign Office says.

THIS IS WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!

Mass ALREADY has access to ChatGPT for A FUCKING DOLLAR.

"where federal, state, local, tribal govt's, & other eligible buyers get commercial products, services, and other solutions at good prices."

$3M FOR A $1 SERVICE THEY COULD ACCESS ANY TIME!

THIS IS CORRUPTION!

It is incredibly ironic that Neoliberals spent the better part of the last 20 yrs scolding China about pollution, did nothing to curb it domestically & are now actively allowing us to backslide into Coal/Gas

It's almost as if Liberals never believed in anything beyond making cash & feeling superior
China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony
