🚨🚨🚨 Meta just took down the No Kings instagram page with 3000 events happening around the country today

Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

>they're going to vibecode cobol so, who's stocking up on canned food and shotguns?

Interesting reporting by Fox on Iran buildup. If true, the Abraham Lincoln isn't making haste towards Iran. This lines up with what I've been seeing in OSINT re: the carrier group isn't making top speed

lots of this website needs to fill this out

Thinking a lot about this moment from literally the first chapter of "1984."

More posts from FL congressman, really hope this guy isn’t exposing our forces by his lack of OPSEC

Breadth is still week on this market rally. $SPY is outpacing $RSP and $IWM is outpacing $IJR. Declines + New Lows > New Highs.

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

A DoorDash spokesperson confirmed the same to me. I followed up by asking is "inflation has been tamed" not something one should conclude from this report? The spokesperson said: "The White House can use the language that they are using on that. I’m not going to speculate on that."

If you're concerned, please blow in a paper bag for a sec, drink some water, and then read this thread. If you're *still* concerned, I'm not sure what to tell you.

i know a lot of people have valid concerns about the mods here but you simply cannot be mad that they don't allow death threats lol

getting that bad feeling that Trump is going to successfully squeeze someone to keep the Epstein files from being released

It sounds like the tech CEOs have more sway here than the immigration hardliners (Miller/Vance). Or maybe he's just a sucker for something he can charge a price for ($100k H1B fee)

the president of the united states, for some reason apparently:

AI profitability worries are OVER. Next stop: A financed Blackwell GPU for every household!

At what point does the asset-based economy just become the Mag7-based economy $QQQ

Still could be $RSP's worst day vs $QQQ since April 9. Very close here.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

I was curious about whether this might end up as an implied directive to governors to use their own pardon power on the state-level convictions, but it looks like it can't/won't happen... - AZ has a D governor (Hobbs) - GA has a R governor, but the governor doesn't have pardon power

2024 analysis is complicated, but I agree looking forward Autocracy doesn't need broad support to survive if it can de-mobilize and de-motivate opposition. In 2026 + 2028 voters need to have faith that dems will fight for them. "Both parties suck" and cynicism will be easier for the GOP to exploit

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

"This legislation will protect federal workers from baseless firings" No?? IMO they're even more vulnerable 1) Trump/Vought are already flouting the law on RIFs 2) Now the GOP will see RIFs as bargaining chip, not as a political liability Terminal lack of self-preservation by some of these dems

This seems significant

I know the senate whip is not that strong, but it seems wild that there are 8 dem votes *and* leadership is a no *and* the politics have been playing very well for dems in the past week (GOP in hot water; big sweeps for dems in elections)

Replace the ATCs who stopped getting paid last week with ATCs who will stop getting paid next week, lol

Republicans seem to think that the norms created by the social contract are just sort of a immutable laws of nature and that therefore, tearing up the social contract will have no negative consequences for them, and I am, very much not looking forward to that thesis being tested

My prior here is the admin needs to mitigate any tech stock downturn out of political necessity (asset-based economy ftw). So they're getting the worst of both worlds... 1. Increased the likelihood of apid selloff due to higher (perceived) risk 2. Clear flip-flopping when the eventual bailout comes

Interesting poll from YouGov: more impacted by shutdown = more blame tilted GOP I can see this creating havoc in the GOP between "materially affected by Trump's policies" vs. "politics is just a game", esp. since power holders are more likely to be the latter today.yougov.com/politics/art...

We should all know better than to trust a news clip that wasn't from @atrupar.com or @acyn.bsky.social

I think we're fortunate that DOT is at least reducing traffic and not playing hardball with the controllers ala Reagan in 1981. Ground stops are annoying but "temporarily filled with .... some non-rated personnel" is frightening en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profess...

Some interesting price action today, SPX dumping at the close even with a significant positive MOC. No insights here, just an interesting observation vs. what I'm used to seeing.

We have to worry once they have profits because then you can value them

Long time listener, first time poster. Glad to join the community so I can bond with others, specifically about Modelo! Drinking Modelo! Buying Modelo! Creating a shrine in my closet to ask Modelo to forgive me for my mortal sinful form! Anyways, nice to meet you Bluesky!
