Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Wheee! I have succeeded in teaching AI a branch of math that doesn't exist. 111
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Looking through photos I took 30 years ago, before I left Vietnam for the first time. I was pointing the camera at the river. The bomb craters were just normal features of rice fields. It has only now struck me how extraordinary that is. 100
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 27/07/2026This chart right here is why women should be President and Secretary of Defense. 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Gazans watching the World Cup. They love us more than we love them back. If not for politicians, the people of the world would get along just fine. 010
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 08/07/2026It's a white boy summer. Let's strike these people in the middle of a funeral procession for their religious leader (and a baby girl) I assassinated. I hope they are not mad! 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Justice requires fixing a broken system. Meanwhile, there's equality vs. equity and this is a beautiful explanation of the difference. onlinepublichealth.gwu.edu/resources/eq... 040
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 19/06/2026How is the news cycle so dense and at the same time no news? This week: Cushing, OK hit tank bottom. MOU. Strait opened, tankers went through. Israel shelled Lebanon. MOU "postponed." Strait closed. US/Iran made Israel/Hezbollah agree to a ceasefire. News went out the wire. Israel strikes Lebanon. 021
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 05/06/2026You could say US oil reserve is falling off a cliff. Except it's a cliff already at the bottom of another cliff. It was never refilled after being drawn down to buffer the oil shock of the Russian-Ukraine war. We're not going to make it to Labor Day. 100
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 04/06/2026People who cannot honor an agreement they made ten minutes ago want YOU to honor a land claim they wrote down two thousand years ago in a book of clearly made-up stories. 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 28/05/2026A brief history of Axios saying "a deal is close." We're living slow motion inside Zeno's paradox. 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 23/05/20261. Trump is lying. 2. He doesn't know what day of the week it is any more. Saturday is too early for market manipulation. 3. Making peace with Iran to wage war on Cuba and be done by Tuesday market open. Wars boost popularity and he picked the wrong one so he's gonna switch. 4. All of the above? 021
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 23/05/2026The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve doesn't look that deep. ~50 million barrels at the bottom of the salt caves are physically unrecoverable. The military needs ~100 million barrels a year for normal operations (not war time, no natural disasters). We can go to Aug-Oct at current rate of drawdown. 100
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026I scoured the face of the earth and finally found something that dropped by 1000%: Donald Trump's approval rating. 020
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 29/04/2026These people have been protesting for Gaza for an hour every day for the last ten months. 100
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Protest for Palestine in front of the Milan Cathedral right now. 110
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I'm in Milan. This arch and the one in Paris were both ordered by Napoleon. Only dictators want arches. Suggesting one should be an impeachable offense. 010
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Are we in a simulation made by a three-year-old? How else would you explain such a generic villain? 021
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Congrats on your new national carrier, Spirit Airlines! Uh. Whatever happened to "this is capitalism and poorly run companies should die"? How did it become sick people (and people with poor "natural" health) should die but sick companies are saved? 050
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I picked up this book today. The diary, from the Vietnam War, of a young doctor who was sent to run a field hospital straight out of college. She only made it for two years before she was killed, still practically a child. A beautiful soul and what a life she could have had if war weren't a thing. 111
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Vietnamese election is coming up and there are reminders to go vote every hundred feet (all the red signs). Voter turnout in the last election was 99.6%. 010
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 13/02/2026If not for Gallup, I would have thought Trump's approval rating would be lower by now. Doesn't 36% approval rating mean you only have to walk 0.36 standard deviations down from the mean to be in deplorable territory? Please tell me I'm bad at stats. 011
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Trump is out to kill the dollar. It's hard to imagine a different monetary order, The Fed not being the world's central bank. And yet, the Arabs invented Algebra and were once the world's premier scientists. "Algorithm" is mispronounced "Al-Khwarizmi," the guy who developed computational math. 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 05/02/2026The ICU episode was in 2017, when Epstein was already a known child rapist and trafficker. Attia's month-old son had stopped breathing, his heart had stopped beating. Attia stayed in NYC and let his wife care for their son alone for 11 days. One of the many small fish in the Epstein files. 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 05/02/2026In other words, I'm not sorry for what I did, I'm sorry it came out. It makes me sick how many people were part of Epstein's circus, and how many more would have wanted to be. I'm sick that I probably interact with many who self-present as upstanding, not knowing how gross they really are. 220
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Kill the people. Take the land. Develop it, with no input from or respect whatsoever for the people the land belongs to. See nothing wrong. The Trump-Kushner way. 011
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Other presidents actually being able to sell merch must really piss Trump off. 000
Ha Le @cffn.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Donald Trump: the most disapproved president ever. Disapproved like never before! Just what's wrong with white men? 021
