Great rundown on the AI bubble. At the end Kedrosky explains how this this the first time we have all four of the American-style bubble factors at play driving this: real estate, technology, loose credit, government(China fear). This may be behind the paywall but I find this substack worth it.

Now White’s launching a bid for Congress, saying he will challenge Democrats who he thinks aren’t doing enough to keep their seats — starting with his own congressman.
I’ve been talking with White about his long-shot bid, and his desire for a “tea party” moment on the left.

Jonathan White fought the first Trump administration’s efforts to separate migrant families.
Now, White says he has a new mission — challenging Democrats that he believes aren’t doing enough to fight the Trump administration.

Ukraine is still hitting military targets and oil infrastructure, every day
Confirmed by Ukraine’s General Staff: the rare Russian A-60 airborne laser aircraft was likely destroyed in a strike on the Beriev plant in Taganrog. Also hit: drone factory “Molniya,” oil terminals in Novorossiysk, Tuapse refinery, and an S-400 launcher.

This is such a problem in Phoenix, I wait full seconds after the light turns green because someone runs a red at practically every intersection. It all changed when the pandemic taught us that the social contract is an illusion and only fools care about other people (I am a fool).
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...
Society broke down and all, but you really still need to stop at red lights
I can't believe we need to explain this one, but it seems that we really do

Looks like this is real. About 40% of the flight at 8k feet, then bumped up to 10k, and then finally went up higher, but only to 20k feet. Much slower than normal flight and likely burned a lot more fuel. But the view out the window was probably impressive.

It’s now been a day and a half since Russia launched a premeditated military attack on Poland, ostensibly an ally of the USA. And so far this is the only reaction of the US president. And some people still think the US will defend Europe from Russia…

The Ukrainians clearly don’t have this hindrance as they rapidly iterate and evolve their use of battle technology. The Russians are learning too.
Americans Are Fixers. Their Troops Should Be Too

Everyone should know this & make use of it. I have been successful about 85% of the time appealing my insurance claim denials. It takes persistence, but you can do well. Document every conversation & get each person's full name.
When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.
