Dear Young People,

I’m sorry you can’t afford anything. Your grandparents thought it was a great idea to borrow trillions from your generation to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

BREAKING: Trump says he will give every adult citizen $5,000 if GOP wins the midterms

Idiocracy was so far ahead of its time 🤣

BREAKING: Anthropic is reportedly building an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the development of artificial intelligence, per reporting by the Prospect

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

since becoming president again, Trump has promised:
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
-$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms
no checks have been issued

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Concerning!

[Mission Valley Mafia @MissionVlyMafia]

Let’s break this down simply:

Sportsnet was going to be insolvent and the Dodgers were going to lose their 1 of 1 TV deal that has enabled all their financial cheating.

To solve this problem the Dodgers ownership gave improper loans and self dealt to keep it solvent and maintain their unfair financial advantage

This was illegal

They put retail investors at risk to be able to spend lavishly on free agent contracts and buy championships

This is MUCH worse than the Astros scandal

It’s also something no other team could do

Their championships should be vacated along with their contracts that they never would’ve been able to afford without likely illegal activity

Ten years ago the mortgage rate was 3.5% and the average new home cost $350,000.

Today the rate is 6.5% and the average new home costs $540,000.

[Danny Manus @DannyManus]

Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.

Stock Trades by Presidents Since 1990 During Term:

Probably nothing.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

BREAKING: Look at this.

The day before Trump paused tariffs, triggering a historic 10% market rally, his accounts purchased 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million.

The trades were disclosed more than a year late, resulting in a $200 penalty.

Unusual.
