Prediction: by end of the month almost no one will remember nor care about the Iran MOU. All they will care about is dropping gas prices and dropping inflation and the fact that Iran doesnt have a nuke and isn't going to get one anytime soon.

This stuff is so old. Trump does something. The usual suspects get a case of the vapors and make it the hill they are going to die on. They look like complete idiots. The thing Trump did plays out almost always as a good thing. The usual suspects look like bigger idiots and don't die over the issue but they have zero self reflection on their idiotic behavior so they lear(n) nothing. The following week/day Trump does something else.....the usual suspects get another case of the vapors......rinse and repeat.

"Twenty months have elapsed, but the rebellion is not crushed out; its military power has not been broken; the insurgents have not dispersed. The Union is not restored; nor the Constitution maintained; nor the laws enforced . . . after nearly two years of more vigorous prosecution of war than ever recorded in history; you have utterly, signally, disastrously—I will not say ignominiously—failed to subdue ten millions of ‘rebels,’ whom you had taught the people of the North and West not only to hate, but to despise. … You have not conquered the South. You never will. It is not in the nature of things possible; much less under your auspices. But money you have expended without limit, and blood poured out like water. Defeat, debt, taxation, sepulchres, these are your trophies . . . The war for the Union is, in your hands, a most bloody and costly failure."

Democrat Senator Clement L. Vallandigham said this on January 14, 1863 about President Abraham Lincoln.

Some things never change.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

High-and-mighty journalists are trying to use American propaganda from 1945 that they don't even understand as a tool to bash Vice President @JDVance, and it is so dumb.

Japan's "Unconditional Surrender" bit was marketing, not reality. They got to keep their Emperor because pre-surrender negotiations via diplomatic channels managed to keep the Potsdam Declaration purposely silent on the issue, and silent on a variety of other issues that were critical to various factions of the Japanese political apparatus. The "unconditional surrender" part of the agreement was specifically regarding the armed forces, not the whole of Japan or their system of government.

It still barely got done, and only after two nukes, a looming Soviet invasion, and a failed coup d'état. If we told them we were going to abolish the imperial apparatus, return all their pre-1895 territory, etc, it likely would not have. Which is, of course, why we were willing to accept surrender from the Japanese on terms acceptable to the Japanese despite contemporary media proclaiming on the radio that the dirty japs had submitted to total and unconditional surrender, time to bring the boys home.

NEWS: A Tesla Model Y driver having a heart attack survived because his son remotely rerouted the car to a hospital using FSD Supervised.

The driver felt chest pain mid-drive and called his son.

His son guided the car through the Tesla app to the nearest hospital.

He also called the hospital so ER staff were waiting on arrival.

Doctors later said the quick reroute likely saved his life.

Tesla shared the story on its official North America account.

FSD Supervised drives the car while requiring the human driver to stay attentive.

We are the first generation that can credibly plan to become a multi-planetary species, and possibly the last that gets to decide whether we will. No pressure.

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

[casaverde72 @casaverde72]

Seinfeld no era una serie “sobre nada”.

Era una serie sobre el futuro.

Jerry, Elaine, George y Kramer eran el prototipo del adulto moderno antes de que el adulto moderno se volviera mayoría.

Gente sola.
Sin hijos.
Sin matrimonio.
Sin religión.
Sin misión.
Sin raíces.
Sin legado.

Solo departamento, café, citas, consumo, neurosis y conversaciones infinitas sobre estupideces.

Y ahí está lo brillante: no te lo vendían como decadencia.

Te lo vendían como comedia inteligente.

Jerry hoy sería creador de contenido.

Vive de observar la realidad, convertirla en chiste y monetizar su personalidad. No tiene jefe visible, no tiene familia, no tiene hijos, no tiene misión superior. Su vida es comodidad, rutinas, cereal, tenis blancos, citas desechables y reputación.

Elaine es la mujer urbana moderna antes de Instagram.

Independiente, profesional, sexualmente libre, siempre rotando hombres, siempre encontrando defectos, siempre incapaz de cerrar con alguien. No es presentada como tragedia. Es presentada como una mujer divertida, lista y “libre”.

George es el hombre moderno promedio con ego alto y valor bajo.

Resentido, inseguro, cobarde, envidioso, poco masculino, con estándares absurdos y cero capacidad real de convertirse en el hombre que las mujeres que desea elegirían. No es exactamente un incel, porque a veces tiene suerte. Pero su mentalidad sí es la del hombre frustrado que quiere más de lo que merece.

Kramer es el adulto sin estructura.

No trabaja de forma clara, no produce de forma estable, vive entrando y saliendo de la vida de los demás, sobrevive con favores, trucos, ocurrencias y algún ingreso fantasma. Hoy podría vivir de ayudas, reventas, economía informal o cualquier sistema donde no tenga que construir nada serio.

Y lo más brutal:

Ninguno construye nada.

No hay familia.
No hay sacrificio.
No hay hijos.
No hay patrimonio emocional.
No hay comunidad real.
No hay proyecto trascendente.

Solo el yo.

Mi cita.
Mi incomodidad.
Mi departamento.
Mi café.
Mi marca favorita.
Mi problema ridículo.
Mi neurosis.

Eso no era “una serie sobre nada”.

Era una serie sobre el individuo convertido en centro absoluto de su propio universo vacío.

Y claro, estaba llena de marcas: Junior Mints, Twix, Snapple, PEZ, cereales, restaurantes, cafés, productos. Pero la propaganda real no era “compra esto”.

La propaganda real era más profunda:

consume, ríete, no te comprometas, no aprendas, no madures, no formes familia, no dejes legado.

La famosa regla de la serie era “no abrazos, no aprendizaje”.

Es decir: nadie cambia, nadie crece, nadie madura, nadie se redime.

Perfecto.

Porque ese es exactamente el adulto moderno.

Un niño de 40 años con renta, citas, opiniones, ansiedad, consumo y cero dirección.

Y aquí es donde hay que entender el contexto: Seinfeld nace desde una élite cultural urbana, neoyorquina, secular, irónica, neurótica, sofisticada. No necesitas inventarte una conspiración barata para ver el patrón.

No fue una reunión secreta para destruir la familia.

Fue algo más efectivo:

una élite cultural exportando su estilo de vida como entretenimiento masivo.

Y como nos hizo reír, bajamos la guardia.

Hollywood entendió algo antes que muchos:

si presentas la descomposición como tragedia, la gente la rechaza.

Pero si la presentas como humor inteligente, la gente la adopta.

Por eso Seinfeld sigue pareciendo actual.

Porque no predijo el futuro.

Lo ensayó.

Nos mostró al adulto urbano sin propósito antes de que ese adulto llenara las ciudades, las apps de citas, los departamentos pequeños, los antidepresivos, los podcasts, los cafés caros y las redes sociales.

Seinfeld fue el tráiler de una civilización cómoda, sola y estéril.

Y lo más cagado es que todos se reían porque pensaban que estaban viendo una comedia.

En realidad estaban viendo el manual de usuario del vacío moderno.

Another Chamath distillation to truth.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

The CEOs of the Mags have each been in the seat for decades. Love them or hate them, they have had tons of reps dealing with every conceivable situation - and have had do it under withering public scrutiny. As a result, what you see is what you get. And what you get is that they are all in-band, predictable actors.

Then there’s the emerging case of Dario. What you see is also what you get, but what you get is different.

To his credit, this is only his 5th year as CEO. It’s incredible to see what he’s built. He’s running, arguably, America’s most important company and perhaps the world’s. It’s a trillion dollar behemoth that will only grow bigger if the revenues hold.

But whenever there is an Anthropic dust up, it can roughly be summarized as “someone is lying or misleading you - figure out who but it’s not me”because the setup is always such.

This last episode with the government has been boiled down to that - a case of he said, she said. The problem is that this the second such incident of Anthropic vs US Government just in the last 90 days.

So what happens over the next 18mo when Anthropic develops their next super-brain model after Mythos/Fable?

If I had to bet, it seems Dario is convinced that he’s being truthful and others including the US Government are not. So why even try to cooperate with the US Government versus just work around them - especially when you have a super tool/weapon on your side.

This, to me, is a concerning setup.

In a short amount of time you won’t have to be David Friedberg to see this.

[The All-In Podcast @theallinpod]

David Friedberg: The AI Jobs Panic Is a Crock of Sh*t

Why? The revenue potential outweighs the cost savings by 100x.

“There is no job loss with AI. I've said it a thousand times, and I will say it again, and again, and again.

What I see on the ground, and what I've seen at dozens of companies, including my company that I run, there are two sides to a business.

There is revenue and there’s costs.

On the cost side of the equation, AI can be used to reduce humans doing things that cost money, to some extent. The effect there, I would argue, is nominal.

The real opportunity with AI is on the revenue side, where suddenly one engineer can do 100x or 1000x what they used to be able to do, meaning you can make more products at your company, whether those are agricultural seed products, or boats and ships, or software for companies, or clothing, or what have you.

Because of AI, everyone has the ability to expand their revenue base to create more products, and that is the foundation of good economic prosperity. It is called productivity. We can grow productivity in this country with AI.

So where I see AI being used is on the revenue side 100x more than the cost side. And in that equation, people are hiring like crazy. We cannot hire enough people.

I just had a review meeting with my product and engineering team two days ago, and they're like, ‘We want to add an extra 15 headcount to our engineering squads because we have all this opportunity to do stuff that we couldn't otherwise do.’ So we are going to hire more people.

And to Sacks' point, we are seeing that show up in the jobs numbers. The idea that AI is going to destroy jobs is a Luddite idea that is being disproven every single day, and I see it on the ground.

It is only a matter of time before people wake up to this and they realize that this narrative that they've all been sold is a crock of sh*t.”

[david friedberg @friedberg]

never thought i’d say this… i wholeheartedly agree with elizabeth warren.

also, term limits.

being an elected representative should not be a career. there should be no path for wealth creation or perpetual income from representing the interests of the people, in service of the people.

private citizens should enter public service, leave, and return to private life, as the founders intended.

“politician” has become a lucrative career option for those skilled at public oration and persuasion.

while they may represent their constituents’ interests, the reelection mandate incentivizes short-term decision-making and voting, often counter to the long-term interests of the people.

and having unfettered private market access while holding the privileged position of influence over, and non-public knowledge of, those markets will inevitably incentivize bad behavior, to the politician’s benefit, and the public’s detriment.

these ideals may be too far-fetched for our modern political machinery to consider - they would be self-defeating of the machines themselves - but the citizens can still be deafeningly loud in demanding them.

thx senator warren for getting this half-right.. also, term limits.

The African immigrant on the left has founded seven companies, directly and indirectly created 800,000 good paying jobs, created thousands of new American millionaires, developed reusable orbital rockets and brain chips that are giving independence to paraplegics, saved free speech, and can’t stop talking about how much he loves America.

The African immigrant on the right married her brother to commit immigration fraud, facilitated the theft of money intended to feed hungry kids, has used government to enrich herself, praises terrorists, and can’t stop talking about how much she hates America.

Leftists want the African immigrant on the left punished with punitive taxes and deported, but will try to run over law enforcement and get shot in the face in support of the African immigrant on the right.

If you want a dog like this, first off, you’re going to need a Belgian Malinois. They are essentially the Ferraris of the dog world.

But good luck having the patience to slowly train them. It takes a massive amount of time, and you basically need the dedication of a full-time dog trainer to chain all those complex behaviors together.

Once you actually get them to this level, though? They treat training sessions like a trip to the amusement park. Their work drive is so insane that they are genuinely enjoying the absolute hell out of it.

The people who created 40 Trillion in debt are angry that Elon Musk created 1 Trillion in wealth.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Interesting analysis

[Sam @DigitalSamIAm]

Can we debunk this nonsense?

Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc.

The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun.

End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously.

And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it.

The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year)

On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach.

So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.

The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.

And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.

Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.
