Trump's July financial disclosure is live. While serving as president he had time to trade nearly 1200 times in the market during July. extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden...

This needs more attention, someone mentioned hyperinflating away the debt to him, and his addled brain has actually latched on to it… as a good idea! His POS handler then had to step in with shows they know he likes to talk about it!

“.. Certain levels of inflation will also pay off that debt very rapidly. Very rapidly."

LOL if you thought the Trump boos were loud on TV, wait until you hear them from inside MSG. Video courtesy of Evan Roberts from WFAN on X.

I've been trying to think who Altman reminds me of and he's the spitting image of Burke from Aliens

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

“The deal was the strongest non-proliferation agreement ever negotiated. It solved the problem. [It] prevented Iran from getting anywhere near the production of highly enriched uranium or plutonium. It blocked all of Iran’s pathways to a bomb for 15 to 25 years.” newrepublic.com/article/2082...

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed." I wrote about it here.

Sacks accomplished exactly nothing and is now slinking away.

i read this and it's interesting but the horrifying overhang of this story is "mrna vaccines make it relatively easy to cure cancer actually, and the main obstacle is that the FDA just banned trials of them"

Hey, that seems corrupt. www.wsj.com/tech/tiktok-...

JFC. Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.

We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.

I keep thinking about this weird thing where the DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell for allegedly lying to the Senate about renovations (even though no senators have accused him of lying), while Kristi Noem told the Senate Trump approved her $220M ad campaign and Trump himself said that wasn't true.

I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions. What stage of the apocalypse is this? polymarket.com/event/nuclea...

“The crypto industry will go to China (where it is outlawed)” bit will never not be funny

Kristi Noem on Alex Pretti: "I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said it appeared to be an incident of." Also Kristi Noem: " This individual…committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.”

As I've been saying for days: this feud with Hegseth -- in which Anthropic looks principled, and Claude looks so valuable that the Pentagon can't live without it -- has been terrific marketing for Anthropic www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Our interest, I think, very much is in NOT going to war with Iran.  It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country." - 10/27/24

I don’t even really think this is fair. Iraq was heavily debated publicly, and there was a plan. It was a stupid and delusional plan based on unrealistic assumptions, but it was known publicly and voted on by Congress. There was no public debate or Congressional authorization in this instance.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

Not quite a year ago:

Anthropic: We lost a contract because we refuse to build Skynet. OpenAI: We'll do it

Study finds ChatGPT Health did not recommend a hospital visit when medically necessary in more than half of cases. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Ah, now we’re guiding tariff revenue LOWER. No more “$300 billion, $600 billion,” etc. 🤡

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that. Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?
