This is not good. I mean, look at the global money shifts: https://www.semafor.com/article/04/22/2025/sell-america-gathers-steam Money is flowing out of the U.S. and a lot of it to Europe, seeking safety and stability. If the stock market & FX were Polymarket, right now global finance is...

That's just code for ICE to know whom to throw in the gulag or not. It's like the Jewish practice of marking your doorpost with sheep's blood during Passover. From femme to fentanyl gigalo chic. I'm curious... please do share. PM even. Not that I expect to dive in. But I'm curious about...

You get this. I've long worked around academics. I get where Europeans might think working in the public sector is all job security and a decent wage compared with the private sector. But the U.S.? The general impression is that they're lazy and get paid like tech executives. In my experience...

That Harvard story is completely legit. The U.S. administration also sent a prying and politically demanding 36-question questionnaire to multiple universities in Portugal who have (or rather: make that "had") academic partnerships with the U.S...

All this talk of concentration camps and Hitler is bumming me out on the weekend. So how about an Elon Musk classic from 1984?

I'm not sure why, in this environment to tariffs, America has to outsource its murder to President Bukkake. The U.S. has plenty of airplanes and drugs to support a domestic market of Jorge Rafael Videla-style death flights offshore from Mar-a-Lago.

The Democrats are for gay hairdresser gang members. President Trump is for you.

Democrats created this monster by showing Bernie the exit door in the primary against Hilary. The great irony is the guy who should have gone up against Trump in 2016 is the only lifeblood left in the party today.

God, I hate his guts. What a blowhard. He will never own up to his greatest life accomplishment being the world's highest paid corporate babysitter. Ever.

Yes, I am a Chicago boy, so I have my biases. But FACS is one of those bands that keeps creeping up on me, burrowing deep holes in my brain. They're different from most of what I listen to: a bit darkwave and quite art rock for my usual tastes. That's also true of their previous incarnation as...

Is it just me, or do YouTube controls seem like something right outta the Nazi Luftwaffe?

Nah. This is just another step in how you Make America Great Again. The ultimate aim?:

What’s wild is what I know has “hardcore” is more punk rock, like Minor Threat in Washington D.C. But I had heard about how the Dutch dance hardcore ended up with people doing non-gabber things like wearing pig masks, dressing up like Mad Max extras, etc. So I get your last points about the...

@Grok Tell me I'm a retard because I believe in the infallibility of chatbots as the source of truth for real-time information, despite your core model's Nov 17 2024 cutoff date and hence reliance on RAGs to merely spit back open web search results...

So I love art that makes me laugh. Ridiculous stuff that I have no other response I can give. This weekend I got the musical equivalent. I'm a board advisor to the Sónar Lisboa festival, which happened last weekend. So Saturday I walked in on a performance called "Gabber Eleganza presents 'The...

This is starting to feel like some of Allegri's subs late into his second tenure.

He's right. China isn't the lowest cost manufacturing base by a longshot now. It's this mentality that has so many Americans thinking Chinese EVs are crap when they are way, way ahead of anything domestic, let alone globally. It's basically Wright's Law on steroids. And just look at Musk's xAI...

I'm not sure if this is the "folding" they intended: getting the closest big economies to prioritize more direct deals with China. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/eu-china-start-talks-lifting-eu-tariffs-chinese-electric-vehicles-handelsblatt-2025-04-10/ At least that...

Ah, you have nothing to worry about.
