Once again, the dot com bubble did not burst because the internet is useless. It burst because of what brain-dead business people believed about the internet. If you believe this paper proves that AI-dominated work forces are the future, then I have a pets.com to sell you

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

Reminder that the dot com bubble didn’t burst because the internet is useless, it burst because a bunch of empty suits Knew it was The Inevitable Future and therefore of course WeSellUsedHairdryers.com was worth a billion dollars
Nine-month-old AI company you've never heard of that revealed its first product last month wants to be valued as much as Ford
Sources: Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab is in talks with potential investors to raise about $5B and is aiming for a valuation of at least $50B (The Information)

Klein's "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" line is particularly telling here. It had nothing to do with the facts of Kirk's life and actions, and everything to do with belief. If Kirk *wasn't* doing politics the right way, Klein's own interactions with him seem naive and foolish.

“old girlfriends”
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

A lot of the world today is downstream of the DC press corps’ frustration in the summer of 2000 with voters who failed to understand that they were not supposed to like Al Gore because of his association with Bill Clinton (who they also incorrectly failed to dislike)
They liked Trump and wanted to help him. I don't believe The Powers That Be actually thought Trump could win in 2016 or wanted that - their goal was to prop him up and damage Clinton enough to guarantee she wouldn't enter office with control of Congress.
At the same time the New York Times was running nonstop stories on Hillary's email server, they were sitting on this emails (and photos of Trump with Epstein victims, apparently).

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K

Interesting case sitting at the inflection point to the two primary legal principles currently guiding SCOTUS: (1) Donald Trump is always right and (2) we must help Donald Trump at all costs
