i remember a few years ago when people first proposed the habsburg AI theories, someone said that pre-AI texts would be like low-background steel. It's crazy that they're already going this deep for unpoisoned text.

It strikes me that the popular revolt vs data centres can't be argued away with "ackshually they don't use much water!" The deeper issue is people see these as money printing premises for the .1%. There aren't really many jobs after they're built. Then their 🔌bills go up! Where is the benefit?

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift. The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics. *If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

I wonder if the Tether guys were ideologically motivated to support all these populist right-wing movements in the west, or if they just took a look and thought, "these are also con artists, good enough, we can work together." It worked pretty well! They got a treasury secretary, for one.

This confirms something a lot of people in Westminster noticed: while Farage was happy to bluster through the Schoolboy Nazi stuff, he has gone to ground over the £5million "gift". The story has Reform worried.

The defining principle of our society is that people who were lucky during the dot com boom or Web 2.0 should have vast and ever-growing individual power over the entire world. The only acceptable check on their power is their squabbles with each other.

In a way it was always destiny but really the wider crypto project is now so septically associated with (and funding) far-right politics globally that it's probably the most politically powerful MLM in history. Read @molly.wiki 's excellent ongoing coverage: www.citationneeded.news/issue-104/

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-14...

Six-panel meme from The Simpsons. In the first panel, Superintendent Chalmers points at Principal Skinner and says, “GOOD LORD, WHAT ARE YOU NEGOTIATING IN THERE?” Second panel: Skinner replies, “GREENLAND FRAMEWORK.” Third panel: Chalmers says, “A PERMANENT FRAMEWORK ON GREENLAND? IN AN HOUR? WITH THE HEAD OF NATO? WITHOUT DENMARK?” Fourth panel: close-up of Skinner saying “YES.” Fifth panel: Chalmers asks, “WELL CAN I SEE IT?” Sixth panel: Skinner, half-lit by a red glow, replies, “NO.”

I wonder if anyone involved in the stablecoin and tokenisation frenzy is thinking long term about how blockchains work. Basic stuff like the trilemma, finality, tx fees, u name it. Look hard enough at the technical tradeoffs & it does start to feel like the only innovation is regulatory arbitrage.
