Bitcoin ETFs are enduring their worst month since launch, with $3.5B withdrawn this month($2.2B from BlackRock alone). Prices are marking their steepest drop since the 2022 FTX collapse.

Acting less like an inflation hedge and more like a tech stock, BTC is sinking alongside AI bubble anxieties.
Bitcoin Funds Set for Worst Month as Investors Yank $3.5 Billion
Exchange-traded funds investing in Bitcoin are heading for their worst month of outflows since launching nearly two years ago, piling yet more pressure on a jaded crypto market.

Wild to realize that people in Nigeria, India & Russia were clocking in every day at the racism factory to post about how lazy minorities are committing crimes and getting paid by Elon Musk for creating engagement on X.

Between this and DOGE, Elon Musk has damaged a lot of what makes America great.

NVIDIA's story is insane. Data centers take years to build, cost hundreds of millions of dollars in construction, labor and permitting, and require massive amounts of power, and *to this day* we still lack a complete understanding of what they cost to run.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

We are seeing this admin over and over again decide to target people who have become technically deportable through no fault of their own other than government delay.

Why? One reason is because they’re the compliant ones who are easy targets for an admin who wants quick boosts in arrest numbers.

Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

It’s notable that there’s practically no difference between what Elon Musk and MAGA influencers like Tim Pool post unironically and what Russian & Chinese bots trying to destabilize American democracy by posting divisive content do.

These guys are making Idiocracy look like a Ken Burns documentary.
Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

American voters had the choice between a competent Black woman and an incompetent racist then chose racism.

I hope getting to wave around swastikas and confederate flags while Walmart is now the nicest store we can afford was worth it.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.
