For billionaires, deficit problem is never solved by things like β€œstop engaging in foreign wars” or β€œstop spending insane amounts of money on the military/LEOs/prisons” or β€œtax the shit out of billionaires on long/short cap gains, dividends & NIIT taxes”, but - fantasies & cuts to social safety net.

Absurd: Elon Musk tells biographer Walter Isaacson in a new podcast interview that the fizzled DOGE experiment proved there's "no way we were gonna solve the deficit from within the government." "The only way we're going to solve the national debt is with AI and robots" www.axios.com/2026/10/17/e...

Holy shit - an emu of the Yamaha FS1R has finally come out. They've got everything working but the FX layer. I always thought the FS1R would be *very* difficult to emulate, as it used 2 doc-less custom chips: the YMP706 (register semantics) & YSS236 (instruction set). Agent-driven, but still...

Not a big fan of the news media profiling the mentally ill and amplifying their delusions.

Jen Hernandez, and people like her, may just decide who controls Congress this year. Hernandez, 43, is Mexican-American, millennial, married, and lives in a small city in Colorado. In 2016, she voted for comedian Roseanne Barr. In 2020, she backed Biden, and in 2024 Jill Stein. 🧡

all the pieces like "why a wealth tax doesnt work" miss the point. sometimes you just want to throw your drink in someone's face.

It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.

So, this is a tweetstorm unrelated to politics. It's about the Planet of the Apes movies, which I was unraveling with @fpriorbis.bsky.social. You might want to mute this thread, but I and some of my friends have questions. /1

The New York GOP ran on one man’s checkbook. Ronald Lauder: $13M into House races in 2022, $5M to MAGA Inc. last year. This year: nothing. Super PAC idle. Staff dismissed. The state Conservative Party chair, asked who replaces him: β€œThe simple answer is no.” Not a movement. An account.

Marx as nominee likely has really bad down-ballot consequences. Heidi Ganahl in 2022 spent a lotta time talking about non-existent furry/litterbox problem in CO schools. She got 40.1% of the vote in a 58.39% turnout election. Marx makes Ganahl look mainstream, and 2026 will be blue wave election.
