UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'.
Fiddling at the edges.
Need redistribution of income and wealth.
End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials.
Increase tax personal allowance.
No reputable newspaper on the fucking planet should ever have endorsed such a naked bigot in the first place, but an overdue "Thank You" to the Cleveland Plain Dealer for doing the right thing.
Super rich making money out of wrecking the planet and then making money out of preparing for chaos. Either we control the oligarchs and billionaires or they will control us as completely as they control Russia.

My friends, can you please offer prayers and send some good energy to the Navajo Nation Reservation and surrounding communities.
Pilamaya — thank you 🙏🏾 🪶✨
Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts
Meta blamed "technical difficulties"
That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US
Tech billionaires are evil
Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis.
They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’.
Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks.
Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations.
Who governs?
Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files.
It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth.
Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...
BREAKING: We're asking the Office of Special Counsel & State Dept IG to investigate reports that diplomats' promotions hinge on how they vote & who they donate to
If true, that's a political loyalty test & the law bars it

You hypocrite @albomp.bsky.social, bleating for Xmas gifts for families doing it tough when you know your @australianlabor.bsky.social govt's billionaire-friendly policies are responsible for the jump in child poverty & homelessness. And you have the chutzpah to ask *us* to 'tone it down'? #auspol
House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.”
The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill.
Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low.
Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.
BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes!
The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to
Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates
Blanche is a really good candidate for the title. Miller is as crazy as Trump, a deeply damaged monster, and Johnson is equally dumb. I feel like Blanche has consciously chosen evil in a way even Billy Barr couldn't make himself do.
Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about?
There's EVIDENCE on this.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up.
Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking.
The media response is "yawn."
CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut.
CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay.
Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared.
108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.
60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office.
Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term.
Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?
Early voting just crossed 30 million
That’s 30 million Americans casting ballots before Election Day, while Trump’s DOJ unsuccesfully runs around trying to throw ballots out
The courts are one line of defense -- the ballot box is the strongest one, & your vote is how we hold it -TN
I saw his Truth Social post in a news article by Aaron Parnas and my first thought was "What the fuck is he talking about?" and just passed it off as more stupid shit from the orange pedo. Apparently it's now stuck in his rotting brain, recycling on repeat. He wishes he had that kind of power.
Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far.
I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives.
I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent.
Go vote like we’re down 3%.
Ed, you made Yahoo Finance. The comment section was full of clueless clowns as usual. They have no idea whats coming.

If neocloud financing is dead that means SB Energy and Nscale’s IPOs are dead. Not sure what Lambda does about its IPO either. Super Micro already backstops one of their leases!
TD Cowen reported last week that NVIDIA and Oracle are doing some sort of vendor financing/thing where Nvidia leases capacity then sub leases it to Oracle. They’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. The big trigger would be if it’s downgraded.

Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us.
Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.
I’m guessing the results from the first batch of GPUs in space are bad because instead of hearing about how wonderful orbital data centers are Elon has pivoted hard towards “only I can break regulations fast enough to build regular earth based data centers, unlike those losers at Coreweave”
Elon Musk says SpaceX closed $40B in GPU debt, debt markets have shut off credit for AI data center firms, and 200+ neoclouds face "death and consolidation" (Elon Musk/@elonmusk)
