Why are using dollars for the stock market.
"Last time we've seen this is 1998"
Lmao we gained like 3 million jobs in 1998. But also the dot com bubble popped like 2 years later, and with the AI bubble, that is an uncomfortably close analogy.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.
It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

A thought experiment: what if the Atlantic had done this with another extremely rare phenomenon: a trans youth who regretted medical transition. Instead of finding an actual person this happened to, they interviewed doctors and invented a narrative with the most horrific possible outcome.
I was really troubled by this Atlantic piece. It was presented as reporting, but it seems more accurate to describe it as speculative fiction based on reporting. It seems like a bizarre choice for a journalistic institution to make. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/the-...

Feds now personalist and extortionate all the way down: FDA suggests “Moderna might have more luck with a second, narrower request for approval if the company showed some ‘humility’ when it made the submission.”
Today as always, @citizencohn.bsky.social is a must read. Here he is on the massive danger to public health of the latest anti-vax actions by Trump’s and RFK’s FDA.
