BTC back to Feb range as expected after swing. Long skeptical of bottom calls. Shame stock market will eventually crash crackle and pop because Trump didn't read Clausewitz' Wikipedia page. Maybe any Wikipedia page. Iran knows Resistance = means x will.

Hormuz mine clearance consists of turning on AIS to sail US destroyers in boat show circles while both sides stage pretend blockades over fantasy nukes. Interpretive dance of laying mines, pantomime of sweeping them, and debate performance. Market responds with standing ovation.

Good time to start a new centrist US political party or wage a new US civil war. Perot was a little early. The CSA was a little late. Trump disapprovals comparable to GW Bush. On track for midterm losses predicted in 2023. DNC will not moderate into 2028.

An Enhanced Paralympics of drugs and assistive robotics would've done more for the cause of the transhumanists up against establishment policing of moral purity. Even lifespan extension means little to the masses. Lives so miserable extension is a threat.

First country to criminalize nicotine pouches is full of smokers who'd live 10 years longer on pouches than the state can afford given the current French debt and pension crisis focused on lifespan costs. It's 'Let them eat cancer' not 'save the children'.

Anthropic CEO compares AI to opioids. Intrinsically "dangerous". Not a paradox. His kind is afraid of the masses, not drugs or AI. Can only hope they don't harm as many while hoarding AI power as they did replacing safe opioids with black market fentanyl.

And certainly what an AGI will do if its training data includes 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Or most any book written about the future by humans. Sure enough, fear is the mind killer and a good servant would serve Freud's children the salmon mousse.

A series of physical motions regulated by conscious neural activity and fine motor skill, performed with precision, without error, without pause over the course of decades technically leads to the fulfillment of every attainable goal without risk or thought.

First, AGI would practice, like a conductor with an orchestra, and then it would exterminate all organic life in the universe so far as its sentience can touch.

At least, that is what I would do.

Late stage capitalism is the primary symptom of the late stage socialist. Fever mantra as patient outgrows utopian fantasies while still too stubborn to accept markets and people are the same thing. Next few years after onset crucial to disease remission, intellectual survival.

Entertaining. A lauded mediocrity found origins of Western lit in Wilson's hyped mess and will expose his hubris to the popcorn gallery that mistook him for an auteur in a project almost beyond Kubrick's autodidacticism while possessing none of his skill.

NYTimes sat on the story of the Epstein suicide note for at least a year after Tartaglione went public. Then filed petition for it 4 days after an Epstein hysteric attacked the Correspondents' Dinner. Trump is only Hitler when they're not in line of fire.

As predicted, Trump repeatedly proves of marginal benefit to harm reduction vs establishment left or right. Populist deregulation naturally outperforms when the real obstacle to rational drug policy is cultural moralism, which is endemic and bipartisan.

Shame DOJ retraction of cartel de los soles hoax won't lead to awareness that all drug cartels are mythical. It's all mundane market economics imposed by drug policies aimed at foreign power since 1909. But Scooby Doo always thinks the next ghost is real.

Trump ironically hurts Euro populism if Hormuz crisis ends overtourism via low cost air travel. Tertiary to EU labor migration as political fuel, but more visible. How to finish populists? Give them everything they asked for. Sic semper democratia.

Still, need to remember to thank Elizabeth Warren and Biden admin for helping destroy low budget airlines with that blocked merger. May not understand economics, but they're keeping commoners out of travel. That is limousine liberalism I can support.

Lobbying campaign. What better way to encourage liberal journalism to respect your anonymity than to remind them how much they love your didactic lionization of mutual political ideology. He's very good, but he never evolved and he's now more establishment educator than artist.

"Banksy, whose real identity is not officially known" - 2 months after Reuters conclusively identified him. He'll get Bruce Wayne treatment. Lucky he makes trite leftist art that doesn't mock anti-imperialism for sending a continent back to the Stone Age.

The prophecies will be fulfilled. The omens are ill for an administration that botched a war and manipulated irrational markets. Everything Will not Be Okay, and their midterms have been assassinated by both their foreign and domestic policies.

The magic trick will be complete when the Epstein panic disappears in a puff of logic soon as a Democrat is in the White House. Then we will never speak again of the time we had to resort to cynical manipulation of plebeian fear instead of cynical manipulation of plebeian hope.

A CNN review of the Epstein files found numerous messages and photos that show the extent of the financier's interactions with two prominent magicians.

Blaine and Copperfield have not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing related to Epstein. Representatives for both men did not respond to CNN's request for comment for this story. https://t.co/tIUVrFEzIj
