The anti-data center stuff is insane and clear evidence that we have entered a post-truth era where many people can be convinced, often by malicious actors, to abandon reality and allow conspiracies/falsehoods to drive policy preferences.

@Telegraph @zerohedge The people who killed tupac are the same people diddy used as security when he would go to LA and the same people he gave a bounty to for a death row chain.

He should face some sort of charges for orchestrating it.

This is a book I read recently.

And one idea in it really got me thinking: Science doesn't observe "nature itself" but rather "nature exposed to our method of questioning".

Whenever I think about this point from Heisenberg, I get this strange mix of clarity and unease. Quantum mechanics doesn't give us a clear mirror to see an independent, detached world out there. It completely breaks the naive idea that we are just innocent bystanders taking notes on a reality that is already set in stone.

The truth is the nature we experience always carries the marks of our own questions and tools. When I observe something, I don't just watch it, I step in, I choose a lens, and I make the world show itself through that lens. The line between the observer and the world around us has completely faded. Reality is not a statue waiting to be found. It is an endless conversation where every answer we get reflects the person asking the question.

And what makes me wonder the most is: If everything we know is just an answer to how we ask, will we ever truly know what the world looks like without us? Or in the end is the world we see every day just a reflection of how we choose to show up and talk to it?

VP VANCE: "Even though the debt is too high, even though we inherited this debt bomb from the Biden Administration, we actually do have a plan to get the economy growing faster than the debt, and that's the most important thing."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed the decision to make a surprise change to debt-management in a CNBC interview on Thursday. Bessent said markets weren’t properly pricing fundamentals, warranting a more activist approach. He also said plans for fiscal consolidation are forthcoming.

“We're trying to signal that we think that this is a thinly traded area of the market, that we're in August, and there's been a lot of corporate issuance that's influenced the market. And we believe that there are many underlying factors in turn that the market is not looking at, and we are going to make a market in these.”

“We believe that the yields don't reflect the underlying fundamentals…. We believe that the liquidity, especially in the 30-year point, is very poor. And we are in the administration, we are, be announcing probably at the end of this week, beginning of next week an increased focus on fiscal consolidation.”

“People have bad information. I have asymmetric information, so I think that the market should think, well, why would we have joined the Japanese in the intervention at this time? Do we know something the market doesn't know that, in terms of being willing to do you know what I would call a Treasury twist here in terms of the bond market? What do I know that the market doesn't know? So I think the market's probably gotten a little ahead of itself, a lot of people not much to do in August.”

Micron's Sanjay Mehrotra on memory:

"Memory is no longer a component in a system, memory is the strategic infrastructure for AI. It is no longer a commodity, it is a high value. Without memory, you cannot make AI smarter, cannot make it faster, you cannot scale up AI...AI is driving a whole hierarchy of memory requirements from HBM to DRAM to SSDs."

Something big is about to happen with deportations in America. You should be ready for this…

I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me.

+27,000 deportations. Last week.

+3,600 a day average.

Tracking for 1.4 million deportations across the calendar year.

+69,000 illegals are in DHS jails waiting to be deported at this moment.

And you haven’t heard a blip about it in the corporate press. Why? My DHS source says “stealth tactics.”

“We’re everywhere in every major city. We tell no one. Plain clothes. Beat up old cars. Quick work. Tactical strikes. No one sees anything. No drama. No tears. No media circus. You’re just going back home where you belong.”

And here’s where it gets insane…

DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal.

It’s happening. You just don’t see it.

We can track if these numbers hold, but as for now this is a historic white pill and exactly what MAGA voted for.

@bot Why’s it so expensive though? $260 a month I’m young and that’s kinda hard to afford.

Once again, the professor has come up short…

His latest screed is an impressive display of economic prestidigitation.

He concedes that wages are growing faster for low-income workers and then attempts to bury that dispositive fact beneath nearly 2,000 words.

Bank of America data show that spending among lower- and middle-income households has converged toward levels at the top as they lead labor market gains.

Professor Reich has a documented history of “inventing dialogue” when the truth doesn’t fit his narrative, a habit that forced him to rewrite his memoir after the media exposed his fabrications. Burger King appears not to be the only one who peddles “Whoppers.”

As I do not like “punching down,” this will be the last response to his four-decade pattern of packaging falsehoods as fact.

@EricBurlison @RedPandaKoala Really going to vague post something like this?
