Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them.

Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK!

Crazy how that works!

Loved this blog post. Especially in the tech realm, the "Adults often come to see small-scale solutions to major problems as childish." bit hits hard...

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

MAGA morality: Put thousands of federal employees on leave, cut aid that sustains countless lives, demonize your opponents, and then enjoy the suffering of your enemies.

But then - when one DOGE worker is fired for vicious racism -say, "Where's the grace and mercy in this country?"

Slashing foreign humanitarian assistance without looking at the individual programs and their effectiveness is like doing brain surgery with a garden trowel. These programs include health services, disaster relief, anti-poverty efforts and pro-democracy efforts. 1/

At what point do we acknowledge that this is an actual, real coup?

Ouch.
Are your daily habits building the future you want or keeping you stuck in the past?

Incredibly well written breakdown of technical, ethical, and moral concerns with AI. It's written in response to Christian apologetics use cases, but the points made are important in general:

Can we, as a nation, collectively decide to celebrate Thanksgiving earlier in the year? That chaos followed by Christmas chaos a few weeks later is... unnecessary.

Does anyone else find it hard to not say "please" and an enthusiastic "thank you!" to AI models? Like, it seems rude to demand an answer and not show a bit of gratitude? Momma didn't raise me to be like this.
