The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

It’s sad that “soldiers shouldn’t commit crimes” is a brave position for a Republican to take.

This is one of those things that rarely gets talked about that has had a massive effect.

As fields like journalism, art, and academia were collapsed and living expenses skyrocketed they came to skew increasingly toward people whose families could afford to supplement their income.
If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic

That third thing is unsustainable long-term

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.

Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him.

Could've been us...

Was Trump plotting to help Bolsonaro escape and give him asylum in the U.S?

I imagine that Trump is identifying with Bolsonaro, now that their conspiracy was broken up. Bolsonaro’s sentence is going to be eating at Trump. I’d like to hear a reporter asking him why he was so dismayed when he heard the former president was jailed. Every day.

A bit bittersweet watching Bolsonaro go to prison for doing the exact same thing Shitler got away with doing.

At the time he initially got busted for it, I got told that it's good our process is slow.... And yet here we fucking are.

OpenAI is arguing in court that it wasn't responsible for ChatGPT repeatedly encouraging a teen to die by suicide because he was violating our TOS. I'm not a legal expert but am very curious who courts will think is responsible for an AI's actions.

Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

It’s not just Bolsonaro going to jail—generals who were in on the conspiracy are getting locked up too. Have to imagine today is a mighty special day for any Brazilian, but especially those old enough to remember 1964 and the decades of military dictatorship
