In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.

People act like all conservatives are the same when the movement has a ton of diverse intellectual traditions. For example:
Bryan Johnson who measures the size of his son’s erections for technofascist reasons
Mike Johnson measures how often his son gets an erection for christofascist reasons

The Trump anti-Midas touch (turning everything to shit) has now placed a non-consensual hand on Cuomo’s arse.
Donald Trump just now posts a full-throated endorsement of Andrew Cuomo on TruthSocial: "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job."

First thing to notice is that a big chunk of the increase in our cost of living was thanks to RBNZ hiking interest rates to tackle the cost of living! [🧵 1/n]
