I think often of the time a bunch of murder victims’ families showed Trump treasured photos of their loved ones and he signed them
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

the audio has reasonably bad clicky artifacts in it which seems to rule out more conventional video editing by any competent human being

this chart is absolutely insane. just look at the UK - went from above-US private consumption levels pre-COVID to 10% below after. never recovered. just a complete economic policy failure.

I don't doubt this happened btw, Machado has been very savvy about sucking up to Trump.
Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

This is very silly because it's basically counting the entire tech sector as "AI related". I would bet you could produce similar figures for the 2010s, especially the second half
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, AI related stocks have accounted for 75% of S&P 500 returns, 79% of earnings growth, and 90% of capital spending (Capex and R&D) growth. am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/...

There are very few mainstream predominantly male hobbies that are left-coded. Barro should understand this - we have had multiple discourse cycles about it!

Talked to some National Guard kids from West Virginia on the street near my office. They don't have leave to go home for Thanksgiving this week.
They can't see their families, because the president wants to use them as political props. No doubt, though, there'll be a feast at Mar-a-Lago Thursday.

Horrible.
The governor sent them there because the President of the United States was angry that a DOGE employee in DC was beaten up by a teenage girl.
