Is it possible to have negative charisma?

And, what are his qualifications again? Is it that he has a worm in his brain and looks like the sole of an old boot?

Gotta love the "Untied States Code" part.

I've been wondering what metric represents Americans' dissatisfaction with the economy.

Issue polling shows American voters rank the economy as the most important political issue (spiking in about 2022). But why?

Jesus would have killed the survivors of His illegal war crime, too!

Yeah but he’s a lawyer?

“We should follow the Geneva Conventions but I’m also fine with deliberately killing civilian survivors” is pretty crazy stuff.

So, like, they’re gonna rename the company again, right?

Shocking how quickly people pivoted from "copyright is over-enforced and the RIAA is bad" to "copyright is under-enforced and genAI is bad."

Hard policy questions here about how to reward artistic creation, but the pivot from "remix culture" to "wait, not like that" is fast enough to give whiplash.

I truly do not understand Strategy. I think at this point they just assume that $1 of book value is worth more than $1 to shareholders.

Which, admittedly, is how it did work for them for a few years.

Are you fucking joking, Julie?

I can’t think of anything that would inspire me less, if I had the misfortune of working at Accenture.

If he really believes this, he should disband the President’s Council on Fitness and introduce a new Council on Sitting Around, right?

Fun fact: the Times’ editorial policy is that a politician’s age can only be questioned at 79 *and one half* years (81.5 for women), which is why they didn’t focus on this topic at all before the election.

Pretty sure I’m hallucinating.
November 21, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Uh…
November 20, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Huh?

They think Americans are so stupid.

Do we know why Trump's toy plane is on the table in front of him?

Is it like a security blanket kinda thing? He just likes having his model plane with him when meeting with the press?

Will you look at these morons? I sold my tech stocks last year.

“Trump”, “Saudi”, and “Blockchain”, all in the same headline, so you *know* it’s definitely not corrupt.

A point I have been making is that, with industry leading false match rates of 1/100,000, if you make a database of 1m undocumented residents, any random person on the street will match on average 10 people!

I know everyone says Trump is cooked and I sorta think he is, too, but...

...kinda strange that his approval rating exceeds Obama and Bush's second-term approval at this point in time.

Is there something about being a tech CEO that makes you completely misunderstand dystopian social criticism?

Like, I’m just waiting for some Theil Fellow to propose a reality TV show where criminals have to run away from hunters and, if the man who’s running escapes, he gets to go free.
