I do antitrust at law firm. I’m also currently in charge of gazing into the abyss. Screaming into it is how I stay sane.

The US has one of the largest rail networks on Earth. We just use it for the part that still makes economic sense here: freight.

Passenger rail stopped being viable as a private business shortly after WWII.

Cars took short and medium trips. Airlines took long trips. Highways and airports got massive public investment.

By the 1960s, private railroads were losing money on passenger service, which is why Amtrak was created in 1970 (and it's been losing money ever since)

The US has tons of rail routes, and trains.

They’re just hauling cargo.

@GsuGrinding Same. And he knows how to use his private sector skills in government, which isn’t always a given.

You can really hear how Tolkien based Elvish on Welsh

[Omne Europa @neolatyno]

The Welsh language has such a peculiar hissing sound, i love it. Welsh is one of very few Celtic survivors in today’s world. It is also the inspiration for Tolkien’s Sindarin Elvish language

@copethyself Choose the right firm and practice group, and there’s very little slaving

Everyone needs to know the origin of the word “rune.” When ancient Germanics formed their own alphabet, they called the letters *rūnōz or “whispers,” because as your eyes followed them, they spoke to you, silently. Reading is magic to a people at the dawn of literacy, who haven’t yet learned to take the miracle for granted.

@Tyler_A_Harper Seems preposterously reductive to me.

Without a real model of human consciousness, we have no real basis to judge AI

Reporter: How do you define ceasefire?

Trump: In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner

[Bottomless Pit Supervisor, Esq. @PitBottomSuper]

@teafortillerman Not with a bang, but with a whimper

Yesterday was the 1st time the Supreme Court called the Constitution "colorblind." If you're keeping track, that's 130 years since Harlan's dissent in Plessy ("Our constitution is color-blind") & 160 years since abolitionist Wendell Phillips first utter the phrase. This is undoubtedly brought to us by Justice Thomas, who called the Constitution "colorblind" in separate opinions in Alexander v. S. Carolina (2024), SFFA v. Harvard (2023), & Parents Involved v. Seattle (2007). In 1978, Justice Brennan concurred in Bakke stating, "no decision of this Court has ever adopted the proposition that the Constitution must be colorblind." Not anymore. Thank you Justice Thomas. 🇺🇸

Even analogizing this to the DotCom bubble, the casualties are going to be the “Pets dot com of AI.” The bubble bursting did not kill Amazon or Google.

And, sure, there is definitely a bubble quality to all of this, but the models are also solving Erdos problems and we’re still in the early adopter phase of the overall technology, which is itself not fully developed.

I think the smart money is going to have patience on the returns here. I mean, just think of how long investors were/are willing to burn cash on Uber.

And AI should produce internet-level economic productivity gains even if it does not birth utopian silicon perfected god kings.

[ardizor 🧙‍♂️ @ardizor]

This has happened twice in all of history.

And you're still calling it a bull market.

I’m questioning whether this account has actually spent any time in Virginia, because in truth it manages to be both too cold and too muggy for at least 33% of any given year

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝒶𝓁𝒾𝒶 @classicspilled]

Virginia. The New Eden. Not too cold and not too muggy. Perfectly fertile soil for tobacco. Our nation's greatest soldiers and gentlemen sprung from her soil. The mother of the South and of America
