Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

If you cheer on the murder of someone for exercising their speech, you are infinitely closer to being a Fascist, than a Liberal.

Deepseek is forcing the entire Silicon Valley ecosystem to recognize that Lina Khan was right, even if they won’t admit it.

[Del @TheCartelDel]

For anyone out of the loop - ex FTC Chair Lina Khan argued that monopolies harm national security, stifle innovation, and weaken the economy. She rejected the idea of protecting “national champions,” showing how competition historically drives progress, citing cases like breaking up IBM and blocking mergers like Nvidia-Arm. She basically outlined how monopolies create vulnerabilities, from supply chain issues to cybersecurity threats, while fair competition strengthens innovation, resilience, and *surprise surprise* democracy. She was talking about Boeing being a vulnerability for ages. Khan was trying to get policymakers to prioritize competition over corporate dominance to benefit everyone and secure the nation’s future.

This needs to be fixed or it will end in disaster.

Why?

Average Americans buy S&P 500 index ETFs, in part, because Buffett told them to. They were told they would pay very little and get diversification in the 500 best companies on earth to ride out storms.

But as concentrations rise in a very small percentage of those stocks, the risks don’t fall. They rise. If the indices don’t cap the max percentage of any one stock, you essentially are holding a direct bet on that ONE company. In this case, see that when you buy an index of 500 companies, you’re really buying 10 companies with 490 others thrown in.

If there is any market volatility, the lack of diversification could cause massive impairment.

That’s ok if you’re a “professional” and that’s what you are betting on but most ETF buyers aren’t professional stock traders and they will be in for a rude awakening if this isn’t addressed.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

As I said a few years ago …

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

The original NY Times headline reads: “Violence Tied to Soccer Game….” There is no mention of the unprecedented nature of the event—a pogrom in the 21st century. No mention of its motive: antisemitism. No mention of its victims: Jews and Israelis. No mention of the response it necessitated: an emergency rescue operation by the Israeli government.

The hollowness of the headline tells its own story about a deeper desensitization of the modern world to Jew hatred even when the hate metastasizes into violence.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

This is a bankruptcy moment for the legacy media. They shrieked Nazi, fascist, traitor, insurrectionist at the top of their lungs for years. The country didn’t believe it. Their spell is broken. Their credibility is destroyed. It’s a new dawn.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.”

There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.

[Max Abrahms @MaxAbrahms]

Hitler seems to have done quite well with Jews and other minorities.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Holy smokes!

Kevin O'Leary just said that Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumer's gripping influence on the Democratic party is GONE after this election.

“The influences of a Schumer or a Pelosi or a movie star or an Obama deciding to anoint somebody—those guys are gone. In four years, they won't have that kind of influence.”

O'Leary went on to absolutely rip apart the Democratic Party's communist style of governing.

“I care about policy. And when I hear policies coming out of a party that are so twisted against the American way of life, like basically taxing capital gains that are unrealized—that's not America. Or price controls—that's not America.”

“It would be good for them to lose tonight. It would reset and reboot and get that party back to the center. It would be good for them. They may not want to hear that,” O'Leary said.

The difference between free users and paying users is about 1000x from my experience

Anyone can get 100,000 free users

But converting those to paid, you can divide than free number by ~1000 and you'll be left with 100 paying users

(rough numbers)

WE’RE BACK!!! After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they’ve been asking for… a return to the SCARY MOVIE franchise! We’re looking forward to having fun on the big screen again.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

The leading streamer on Twitch, Hasan Piker, is an apologist for the sexual violence of October 7th. “It doesn’t matter if rape happened on October 7th. It doesn’t change the dynamic for me,” Hasan declares before finally admitting that “Palestinian resistance is not perfect.”

A social media influencer who openly defends the rape and mass murder of Jews is not only accepted but celebrated in our society. What does that reveal about the depth of antisemitism in the American soul? If America believes Jewish lives matter, then Americans should stop popularizing influencers who popularize antisemitism.
