Is that @RealJamieGold at the Finals?? #wsop

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

The wine is aging

A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting. Why Starry Night was so famous: bit.ly/49VNzyl

Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

Trump voters really thought he'd bring down prices, keep us out of wars in the Middle East, and crack down on pedophiles. It'd almost be funny if the results weren't, well, you know.

There is always an excuse for Trump. ALWAYS

This Iran war is making super obvious about which MAGA accts are just shills for POTUS (most of them) and which have actual values and ideals (almost none). But the bigger problem is that most regular people are just fanboys of Trump and have no concrete beliefs.

$XYZ's headcount will revert back to pre-COVID levels at 6,000 employees. Here is Jack's stupidity in headcount over the years. 2019: 3,835 2020: 5,477 2021: 8,521 2022: 12,428 2023: 12,985 2024: 11,372 2025: 10-12,000 He's using AI as a excuse to mask his failure

I thought there was a bottom, but the idiocy is increasing on this site

We literally passed a constitutional amendment to stop gerrymandering in Virginia and you disingenuous liars are trying to do it anyway! Spare me your bs

It’s funny that Vivek is out there preaching old school normie American “E Pluribus Unum” values while the white Heritage America bros are calling for an India-style caste system based on heredity

One of the biggest misconceptions of our time was the idea that truth would flourish in the absence of censorship in digital spaces. The opposite has happened. Truth gets trampled to death daily by psychopathic grifters in an arms race to develop the most outrageous, insane theories of politics and the world because what sells is what is entertaining, not what is true

Quiet, piggy.

A new meta analysis of millions of online posters finds that moral-emotional language is perhaps the number 1 rocket-booster for traffic. Most ppl who spend time building an audience by posting online about politics (or anything) come to the same realization: high dudgeon outrage and out-group condemnation are easy tickets to going viral. We're not ourselves here. The physical-world upholds a principle of kindly reciprocity (If you're nice to me, I'm nice to you) and negative punishment (Removing ourselves from ppl and places that are mean to us). Social media, for a variety of reasons, inverts this principle and encourages ppl to actively seek and fixate on out-groups who can serve as fuel for outrage, condemnation, and other moral-emotional communication. I think this is somewhat obvious, and I have no plan to fix it, but sometimes it's just worth pointing out the obvious.

MAGA Republicans and democratic socialists for some reason:

Dallas and Fort Worth both have Republican mayors btw Also one of the most violent cities in California is run by Republicans (Bakersfield). Bakersfield has a much higher murder rate than Los Angeles and it’s one of the most conservative cities in America

“Seizing the means of production” is MAGA now. Marx would be proud

AI economists and AI researchers: this is *excellent*. Details below, but as I feel like I've said in every talk on this topic since my slides said "GPT-2", 1) AI technical capabilities are better and improving quicker than you think, 2) impact on economy *much* slower. 1/13
