I tried Google Lens for the first time today. It failed to identify what a text search finally revealed was a tomato knife. And all the links were to shops selling (non-tomato) .knives. Ensh*ttification got to Lens before I did.

It certainly looks as if the 30-year inflation adjusted bond rate for US Treasuries is responding to changes in the Federal Funds Rate, the shortest term there is. This makes no sense to me #econtwitter

Alleged discovery of guns and grenades in #Gaza hospital has strong "mobile $Iraqi weapons lab" vibes to me. If Hamas were going to use a hospital as cover for a terrorist base, I'd have thought there would be something more substantial than half a dozen rifles
