the other thing is that like, a lot of them are being bankrolled by traditional GOP capital, so you get these weird mergers of Oren Cass-style economic populism (which, while stupid in its own right) and traditional supply side economics
The bigger thing about Nalin (& a lot of Gen Z conservatives) is that they try to center young people's economic struggles rhetorically don't actually offer anything new on econ policy. All his answers to economic struggles are "we need less immigrants", which is already established Trump policy
the comments to this Fox News article are so fucking funny, man

literally conservative boomers being like "yeah, fuck Gen Z"

These are exactly the cheap, cost-cutting measures you want to see from russia to showcase their economic cracks. Keep it up, putin. You will be on a pike soon
Russia's government is trying to force its freight companies into doing the job of the FSB inspecting cargo with sniffing dogs and X-ray machines with serious legal repercussions if they fail to do so. Companies fear enforcing this can destroy the sector.

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

There's a lot riding on the 2026 midterm elections, but it probably won't make a difference for tariffs. Regardless of who's in power, either party could find that they like the tariff revenue, the income from investment commitments, and, maybe most of all, their coercive power. My latest for IOG:

the key here is that most of the opinion setters are on the bottom 4 despite the top 4 being more accurate in representing popular opinion
Incredibly funny how much political discussion is driven by the four things at the bottom while everyone else is getting cooked on Facebook looking at pictures of AI Eminem opening nursing homes for crying veterans

Wait. Does Trump trust Putin so much more than his own advisors that his advisors just ask Putin to direct POTUS?

Bloomberg released the phone transcripts of a call where US Envoy Steve Witkoff advised a senior aide to Vladimir Putin on how to pitch a Ukraine “peace plan” directly to the President.

When they changed their motto from “don’t be evil,” the canary like straight up died. It had been dead a while, or we thought, but like by then the coroner had come around checked, recorded a time of death, then put that bitch in a shoe box and handed it to us.

And I realized. Holy shit I just need to install VLC and people will stop installing this weird stuff. Because at that point for some reason I ran the antivirus for the entire firm. You have no idea. You just don't. It was all fake media players. If you wanna learn what users want run the antivirus.
