Execs not even pushing AI to answer a question a low level analyst would've been prepped for is a sign of decadent disaster in the corporate world.
"Where does the number on slide 6 come from?" is the kind of thing you'd hear about in performance reviews. Not with AI, I guess?

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

If ICE were a house you'd been watching crumble for years, eventually the rot becomes a structural issue and it makes sense to tear down and rebuild rather than patch.
