At this point my efforts to make a financial plan for my family seem like looking for an umbrella while a hurricane approaches.
From the people who brought you the financial crisis, Theranos, and Juicero: say hello to data center financial engineering!
I'm pretty nervous about this ending badly, but everyone's dug in because AI is the only pulse in the economy.

It’s not just OpenAI that looks overhyped. There’s a whole mountain of sketchy financial engineering underneath.

Better remove the Statue of Liberty. That whole “bring us your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to be free” is just too fucking woke.
Sweeping immigration changes by the Trump administration have resulted in the cancellation of oath ceremonies, the last step in the process of becoming a citizen. The actions are the latest attempt to tighten who can call themselves an American. w/ Orlando Mayorquín www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/u...

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

And there was no chance firing artillery shells over the 5 Freeway could go wrong.
The Pentagon is pissed about "A House of Dynamite," and claims its missile interceptors have a 100 percent accuracy rate.
There's no such thing as a "100% accuracy." That's aimed squarely at Trump, so that he'll go ahead and dump money into "Golden Dome."
