In times of great inflation and lack of affordability, gambling activity exponentially increases. History is filled with this. Nothing new.
People who are surprised by rise of gambling are typically not in tune with the affordability crisis that most “normal” people face. And by normal i mean a non-nepo dude who works a regular job without mommy and daddy’s help
@jimmycookssss It’s simply flattery, Trump appreciates that the most. Whoever will bend the knee will get his approval. Zohran Mamdani took advantage of that recently as the Mayor of NYC, leading to federal support.
Busted! this was likely written by someone in US/ White House. According to grok Very low chance (~10-25%) that an aide (or comms staff) in the Pakistan PM’s Office would officially refer to their boss as “Pakistan’s PM” in an internal draft subject line or note.
@MinvstrD@Merridew__ The funniest part of the whole sequence is every dem consultant will then try to say they are being too ‘radical’ by touching on those fringes. When those fringes were never the issue but rather their inability to address low hanging.

@cirnosad One can even argue that the military set him up (which he happily did due to his ideology). He mentioned after removal that the army had sent him to Russia to buy military hardware, while simultaneously posturing to the Americans that it was an independent decision by Khan.

With Garry Tan constantly in the news, I've decided to make the definitive Garry thread - from his drunken death threats to his support of child pornographers and far-right nazis, to his own shitcoin launch, and finally to his fabricated past, here's the short Garry 🧵...
1/ Just caught up with a few investor friends in the consumer space last week about Ozempic and GLP1s
As far as I can tell, everything basically hinges on: how much does it matter that every consumer product in the world depends on a tiny cohort of super consumers?
I live in LA. Same thing. Visited Portland. Same thing. Was in Chicago this summer. Same thing. But if your audience is easily duped or plagued with confirmation bias…you can tell

Muscles only grow when you rest, after having torn them in exercise.
Wisdom is the same. You can only learn something when you cringe, having said or done something retarded.
The brain has a primitive rule: You are what you repeatedly do.

If you repeatedly do “show up badly but show up,” it updates you to “the kind of person who does things even when unsure.”
