The Professional Managerial Class (that is you, dear reader) has fulfilled the prophecy:
"Benjamin Franklin: "when the people shall become so corrupted," he meant that the citizens would lose their civic virtue and choose personal comfort, wealth, and partisanship over liberty"
"Dr. Rasmus concludes that while the empire is not experiencing an imminent collapse, it is in a period of 'twilight' characterized by unsustainable financial structures, such as a massive defense budget and rising national debt (20:36 - 22:26)" https://t.co/BOlhnI9bBi
"According to Jean-Louis Vincent, MD, PhD, Belgium, Covid-19 cannot be distinguished from sepsis. Sepsis can be acquired from staph (superbug MRSA) infections that typically develop when a patient’s lung is ventilated for a lengthy period."

After several hours with Google's LLM, I found out why my SSH agent forwarding wasn't working: the IdentityFile on the remote server should use the PUBLIC key to point to the key in the forwarded agent. I feel at peace because it understands my questions, unlike 99.99% of humans.

I had to disable hidden Glance app on my Moto G Power 2024 to prevent screen from turning on pickup.
I love @Moto, but they are clearly doing it wrong with software features for differentiation. Your hardware is already great. Just give us STOCK Android -> BOOM -> PROFIT.
Ray Dalio is pointing to historical "archetypes" of monetary resets. In 1933, the US devalued the dollar ~40% vs gold and confiscated it to fight deflation/debt—stocks surged as assets revalued nominally. In 1971 (Nixon Shock), ending dollar-gold convertibility seemed catastrophic, but markets rose initially amid reflation/inflation.
He's implying today's news (debt pressures, policy shifts) follows the same script: governments ease burdens via currency devaluation or printing, not disaster but a predictable cycle where nominal asset prices (stocks, gold) often climb while real purchasing power erodes. History clarifies the plot.
See if you can get away with this in your office:
"Failed side-projects? No no... There is no such thing as a failure if your learned something from these awesome esoteric side journeys into The Infinite."
"Helmer notes that Trump's primary preoccupations are 'staying in power and keeping his money' , which leads him to view military escalation as a potential political liability rather than a solution if it jeopardizes his survival in the upcoming election."

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson just dropped a live grenade on the Judge Napolitano show.
He’s citing reports from inside the White House: during an emergency meeting this past Saturday, Donald Trump tried to activate the nuclear codes against Iran and was stopped cold by General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Johnson didn’t mince words. “There is seriously something wrong with Trump,” he said.
If this is true and it’s coming from a guy who spent decades inside the machine, it’s one of the most chilling moments of this entire crisis. The man with sole authority over one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal was reportedly ready to cross the ultimate line because things weren’t going his way in the Persian Gulf.
When even (reportedly) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has to physically stop the president from crossing that final line, you know the American century isn’t ending with dignity, it’s ending in a fit of unhinged rage that could still drag the rest of us into the flames.
