Rules Don't Work

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Ah oui, le "réarmement démographique", tout ça.

the washington free beacon is trying to october surprise abdul by revealing his comms chief used to post bangers

Anyways bitcoin crashed and another technology came along. But the value proposition to investors remains the same: own this and you own everything, it’s a universal human replacement. (Worth noticing en passant that you don’t need real aGi for this, just something cheaper and more pliable)

… regulatory capture through showy “effective” “altruism” and political bribes, I mean donations, were a big part of the story …

The FT ran a very interesting analysis about how when bitcoin valuations were rising, bitcoin mining was becoming so valuable as an economic activity it was going to outcompete almost all other applications for electricity, drive massive emissions increases, and generally cannibalise the economy.

@yarotrof.bsky.social #France ’s “forward nuclear deterrence” gains shape as ten #European nations join the club, aiming to deter #Russia. My deep dive into what it means and how it will work at a time when Europe is increasingly uncertain that the #American nuclear umbrella still exists.
