Some people are just fundamentally miserable, to the point where active disappointment and misery is the core foundation of their personality. They exist only to self-inflict moral injury. An astonishingly pointless way to move through the world. Deeply pathetic stuff

Impossible to describe how HUGE this is. State AGs just pulled off what the federal government could never

Scientists told the New York Times that the flash flooding in Nepal/Tibet was likely caused by a 2,000-foot-wide chunk of ice that broke off of a glacier and fell around 4,000 feet to the valley below

Whatever it takes! We'll do literally anything except the thing that it would take.

FT: Bessent’s bond-market battle “is starting to look like his boss’s war in Iran .. a tangled set of objectives, an underestimated opponent and an implausible path to victory. And like the conflict in the Middle East, we are all going to suffer ..”

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.?

Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

we spent the last 30 years whining about how we lost all our good-paying manufacturing jobs. we finally have an opportunity to start building again, tech companies are willing to spend trillions on capex & labor, and now both parties are saying no because of a fake chinese psyop that data centers use 30,000x more water than they really do.

every 6 months the Trump administration realizes lowering tariffs will lower prices, applies this insight to one specific good, and then proceeds to never introspect beyond that. It’s honestly beautiful in its stupidity.

ICE has gotten deportation numbers up by targeting people who abide by the rules, because they are easier to track down

I have to give it to Darline.

“MAGA is more concerned with what a half dozen trans athletes are doing than the most important geopolitical flashpoint of our time” is actually a pretty honest reflection of the base.

The people who want mRNA technology to be banned are looking especially ridiculous right now

He is so incredibly fucking stupid its beyond comprehension.

I mean yes we did cut funding to anything that actually helped people but at least we still managed to increase the deficit.

I love how he talks about it as if it were some kind of natural disaster that befell them through no fault of their own and couldn't possibly have been avoided.

Really cool at the top of the WSJ homepage today:

"An experimental mRNA-based vaccine succeeded in preventing cancer from coming back or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients, Moderna and its partner Merck said Wednesday"

Last year, an mRNA cancer vaccine was also shown to stop the recurrence of pancreatic cancer after surgery.

It feels like we're just starting to pry open the heavy door of a new field: personalized mRNA cancer therapies that teach the body to fight cancers after initial treatment

It took 48 hrs from them to go from “the sailors have everything they need and are begging to stay longer” to “actually they’re all huge pussies and don’t need food.”
