Dear Malaysians (esp women and underaged girls) , if you are affected by the @grok bikini or revealing clothes requests by random users:

1. Report to @X using the usual Report Button at the offending tweet/post. However, internationally those affected complained that X said it doesn't violate their community guidelines. So...

2. Document the tweets, photos and links and compile them in a doc file. Save as PDF.

3. Lodge a report with @MCMC_RASMI Aduan Portal. Attach the PDF. This is important.

4. Lodge a police report at nearest police station with a copy of the PDF.

For this specific AI related type of gender based violence please email me at [email protected] for further assistance.

The markets are designed to inflict maximum pain on participants.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see crypto rally all the way back after the largest liquidation in history.

[THE SHORT BEAR @TheShortBear]

If I’ve learned one thing about capital markets, it is that a „risk free“ trade is never just placed.

It is placed, leveraged in a first wave and leveraged up further as more conservative companies have to compete with those that do not care about risk.

It’s what we saw in 1987, in 2008 and what we have now seen in Japan and vibrating around the world.

For those calling for a rate cut on the US side to stop the selling, know what you are asking for!

Easing on the US side would likely further strengthen the Japanese Yen and lead to another wave of strong selling (carry trade).

Best for all would be if the BOJ steps back and either intervened in the forex market with the reserves (would need a huge amount) or cut rates back to 0.15 instead of 0.25.

A US rate cut would not only lead to the strengthening but would also send a message of distress.

Very hard situation to deal with.

Remarkable video from El Salvador.

Nayib Bukele gathers every single official in the executive branch of his government and then announces a surprise.

He asks the Attorney General to investigate all of them for bribery.

I don't think people fully understand the extent of the Biden 44.5% tax on long-term capital gains for people who make >$1 mill or even worse the 25% unrealized on people over $100 mill net worth.

This means if you went from rags to riches building a start up for 10-20 years and now own $200 mill equity, just to pay the $50 mill unrealized gains would require you to liquidate your ownership while being taxed 44.5%.

There will be ZERO incentive for risk-taking or investing. Therefore, innovation as we know it, dies.
