I don't know what any of the founders or c-suite of Anthropic look like and that's how it should be.

All in all, it's been a great week of comeuppance for my mortal enemies. But more work to do. Next week aiming for four-figure bitcoin and Ackman in prison 💪

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Guessing mandatory Home Economics classes in high schools have long been defunded and eliminated. Maybe I’m an outlier but it’s about all I remember from secondary ed. Probably the least we could do to help kids avoid DoorDash poverty.

Pigeons make me so sad man. We domesticated them then eliminated their jobs now they're forced to wander our cities approaching us as friends to beg for scraps and we shoo them away as pests.

Brits still out there resigning in disgrace like it's the 20th century. Someone needs to explain to them that accountability as a feature of public life has been deprecated.
BREAKING: Peter Mandelson resigns from Labour to avoid causing "further embarrassment" to party as result of Epstein links.

Also worth thinking about how the Fed’s swap line reaction function might change—its provision of an apolitical global liquidity backstop has arguably been more important for the dollar’s role than interest rate policy itself.
If Dems have a trifecta in 2029 I don’t think we’d get a huge fiscal package like we did in 2021 but Warsh being Fed Chair through May, 2030 would certainly change the monetary policy response to any fiscal stimulus.
