Going to take a moment to millennial the fuck out and say avocados are great and other generations were wrong to slander them. Guac is the best dip and that poke bowl with extra mangos and avocados was the shit.

There are plausible explanations for this other than approaching a cap on demand, but 😬

Is Token Consumption Growth Slowing Down?

Google's AI token processing reaches 1.3 quadrillion monthly tokens in October 2025, but growth decelerates from 250T to 107T per month. What's driving the slowdown?

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.

She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

For a long time, elite journalists have treated this stuff as a game because, if they didn’t, they might be tarred as partisan activists.

War came to their doorsteps anyway. Sucks for them I guess.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Tens of billions of dollars of revenue did not emerge out of thin air within three years of the first public-facing LLM product. Clearly there is demand.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

This is the right take, fwiw. “Genocide” is a legal term, which means (a) it doesn’t become true just bc it is good mobilizing rhetoric or expresses the depth of one’s despair, and (b) it doesn’t become false bc accepting it as true would make one sad, uncomfortable, or challenge one’s self-image.

On MSNBC, Kamala Harris was asked if she agreed that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

“I will tell you that when you look at the number of children that have been killed [...] the refusal to give aid, we should all step back and ask this question and be honest about it, yeah.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris held back from labeling Israel's actions in Gaza a "genocide" on Sunday but said it was an appropriate question.
"A lot of folks in your party have called what's happening in Gaza a genocide. Do you agree with that?" correspondent Eugene Daniels asked Harris during an interview on MSNBC's "The Weekend."
"Listen, it is a term of law that a court will decide," Harris responded. "But I will tell you that when you look at the number of children that have been killed, the number of innocent civilians that have been
killed, the refusal to give aid and support, we should all step back and ask this question and be honest about it, yeah."

They have to be at least credible. There are more analysts with the means to check and more avenues for insiders to leak. It's not like 1999 when Ken Norton could make some key private observations about their broadband business but had no way to act on them www.bringthedonuts.com/essays/the-t...

I think this is the right way to run a primary against an otherwise popular incumbent governor without directly attacking her age (which might be sensitive to some older primary voters). Tie her to Schumer, who is very unpopular.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 15h

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.
