The bread and circuses will continue, and the plebeians will never revolt

[Virgil @VirgilsQuill]

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.

If you denominate US GDP in gold instead of dollars, the chart is wild.

[Julian ₿lunt @JulianIsBlunt]

One step closer to "UK government clarifies that adults will still be able to travel freely, as long as facial recognition software verifies their digital ID to ensure that they haven't used all of their carbon credits for the month"

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: UK Government clarifies adults will still be able to use social media by verifying their identities with digital IDs, facial recognition, passports and credit cards.

@texasrunnerDFW For us millennials, this is just another once-in-a-century thing to add to our collection

A masturbatory mashup of soft language bullshit is LinkedIn in a nutshell. Enjoyed by the sort of people who would call death from famine “an unfortunate and abrupt life halting side effect of chronic and acute food insecurity and malnourishment”

[Divakar @daaaacat]

That too generated from AI

These sort of performances from Mainoo make Amorim look like even more of a clueless clown than when he was in the job

[Hedgeye @Hedgeye]

🇺🇸 Here's what $39 trillion in debt really means:

If we confiscated every dollar of U.S. corporate profit ($3.8T/year), it would take over 10 years to pay off.

Sell every ounce of gold ever mined: $32 trillion. Still $7 trillion short.

Liquidate every Bitcoin in existence on top of that: $33.5 trillion. Still $5.5 trillion short.

If we confiscated every dollar of federal tax revenue ($5.3T/year), it would take over 7 years to pay off, assuming zero spending.

The debt is 71% of every home in America, or 30% of every publicly traded company on Earth.

The debt grows by $7.2 billion a day, or $84,000 a second.

This is a problem.

NEW - U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of GDP — WSJ

At this rate, I reckon we’re only a few years away from your car reporting you to the local police for a thought crime

[Pubity @pubity]

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027.

AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

US FARM BANKRUPTCIES UP 46% YoY — 70% IN THE MIDWEST

[Luke Rudkowski @Lukewearechange]

food is going to become that much more expensive....

[Peter Mallouk @PeterMallouk]

The inflation story in one chart:
Where government spending and subsidies are highest, prices rise the fastest.
Where competition is highest, prices fall.

Somehow, an In Bruges meme is the most apt description of 2026 so far

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

“I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.”

— Thomas Sowell

[Julian ₿lunt @JulianIsBlunt]

Central bankers would tell you that this isn’t inflation

[Lawrence McDonald @Convertbond]

Never, ever forget. Over 40% of all US dollars ever created were done so in 2020-2022. Yet, central bankers and Wall Street Research lectured against a hard asset portfolio and dramatically downplayed currency debasement.

[Julian ₿lunt @JulianIsBlunt]

So true, which reminds me of a quote from Edward O. Wilson:

The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology, and it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.

[Mckay Wrigley @mckaywrigley]

society needs to grapple with the reality of a mythos-level model being open source in <12 months.

i’m not sure we are prepared.

[Julian ₿lunt @JulianIsBlunt]

It's great to see them working with industry leaders to help sure up their security, because I could only imagine if a hostile nation state built a model like this first. It would be Mr. Robot level 5/9 on steroids, total and complete devastation

[Julian ₿lunt @JulianIsBlunt]

I knew Claude was crushing it, but Mythos must be a genuine step change in performance. A model that can find security vulnerabilities and string them together into unstoppable attacks is effectively checkmate for everyone else. What a time to be alive

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities—including some in every major operating system and web browser.
