Had thought some of this incel/murderous thug/gigachad/edgelord stuff was an extinction burst scenario and maybe it still is, but the arc is not happening fast enough to outweigh the damage

Mitch McConnell slams “threats and intimidation by U.S. officials" over Greenland. "And the use of force to seize the sovereign democratic territory of one of America’s most loyal and capable allies would be an especially catastrophic act of strategic self-harm to America and its global influence."

For CIO, I took a look at the risk factors emerging in fixed income. Spreads are tight, investors aren't being paid to take duration. Some investors are pivoting to multi-asset managers but 2026 could be a year of trade-offs - esp with some cracks showing in private credit

Cishet relationships are already a humiliation ritual for women, it figures the most odious people you've ever encountered are hard at work finding ways to make it even worse
If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this.

This is why "build-measure-learn" does not work: no one is willing to accept the consequences of their actions, and so a substantial amount of work goes into DESTROYING decision provenance.

The reason the Trump regime is trying to demolish the entire international order built after World War II is that they think the wrong side won that war.

not that it matters but the oil companies themselves said the oil there is not oil that is going to be profitable so even if the reimbursement check materialized (LOL yeah right) they aren't making money on this deal not to mention they'd go head to head against OPEC which is sitting on supply
