it's absolutely silly how much random knowledge you can accrue with a Bloomberg terminal and a dash of intellectual curiosity.

People say the wildest stuff dog

Well, there is no rule of law or SEC in the US, so they are just moving in the hope they can rebrand as some tech crap and then have retail idiots buy their stock. Fundamentals do not matter - it is just pure "marketing" or fraud when reality hits and stock is down 99% and govt bailouts are needed

De-escalating is retreat. If he thought he could get it done he wouldn’t be backing off.

He's not, though. Switching tactics, but those screenshots say he's still filing a case to invalidate the results, just with a marginally less stupid angle.

there might be feelings better than having your kid snuggle up asleep on you but there is no feeling like it. I am a simple ape and probably you are too

I am 100% in favor of people who don't want kids not having kids, but watching your kids play on the beach on a day where all your responsibilities are asleep is a peak human experience of a type you will struggle to get elsewhere.

note: this is up in the Triangle, I'm not driving two hours to try and figure out what's going on.

"libertarian candidate for state senate in north carolina is currently in a shootout with the cops and live-tweeting his planned suicide", while not exactly surprising, is still a weird thing to read

"Police eventually found him — “He had a firearm and was ordered not to touch it, and he took off running,” Cary police chief Terry Sult said Monday during a news conference — but the incident didn’t end in gunfire."

wral.comNC Senate candidate in custody after hours-long standoff with Cary policeJonathan Miller, a Libertarian running for a state Senate district covering western Wake County, called WRAL during his standoff with police. He spoke about what led to the standoff.

Had missed this yesterday but Lula pulling close to half of the votes from Cury, Caiado, and Santos is WILD. Santos kinda tracks given he was equally hostile to PT and Bolsonaro but the other two endorsed Bolsonaro and were pretty far right for that kind of outcome. Really interesting.

Albert Pinto@70sbachchan.bsky.social

How did Lula turn it around? This is what it looks like when a party goes ALL OUT to try to win ppls votes after PT's apathetic performance in first set of elections 4 weeks ago. 1 Turnout (get demotivated ppl to vote) 2 getting ppl to vote differently (from blank in 1st round, to voting for Lula)

I am glad the vibes are putrid for Rs right now but I really, really need everyone to be skeptical of anything involving modeled votes.

The chart I’m most interested in seeing at the end of this is the 2018-26 swing by county.

If you're in there putting in honest work and you post it, I'm gonna tell you that you're a badass and you should feel great about yourself; if you try to use that lift to claim superiority over other people, you're inviting comparisons to serious people, and that's probably not gonna go well

I had a half dozen training partners who could CLEAN 315 (143 kg), not just deadlift it. Shut the fuck up, wannabe alpha male blowhards

I will say "hell yeah great job man" to any one of my friends who lifts this because they're my friends and deserve every opportunity for me to say "hell yeah," but you don't get to call yourself an Elite Alpha Warrior for doing something that anybody can do with several months of work

baby weight

Evan McLaren@evanmclaren.bsky.social

Guys whose whole thing is obsessing relentlessly over the righteousness of patriarchy and aLpHa masculinity are flexing and high-fiving over ... a one-rep deadlift max of 315lbs/143kgs.

It’s like $50mm per MW per year on a 90-day cancellable contract vs Neoclouds at $15mm per MW on 5yr firm deal. Elon bought up a ton of GPUs, realized he had no use for them, and then resold them to the market when there was functionally zero available capacity with no lead time

Friendly reminder for anyone that ever links to Slok. Doesn't necessarily make him wrong, but at least understand who you're pointing to in order to confirm your priors.

"the article" in this case is marketing copy for Apollo Global, one of the world's largest private equity firms. just to be clear about what you're pointing to gleefully. If I used the same source to argue that the economy was doing great, how would you treat it?
