I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

A lot of people are speculating that this will lead to the US government having to bail out AI companies but there's no world where that happens and the government bond market doesn't completely collapse and cause a fiscal crisis.

I know we're all tired of the "they just said it out loud" shtick but it feels noteworthy that the secretary of defense is articulating the Garrison State as an explicit objective of the American christian fascist project.

Yesterday, Trump’s America dot gov site answered factual questions like “who won the 2020 election” accurately. Today, it no longer does.

@ddale8
X.com
Yesterday, asked about its chatbot's many debunkings of Trump, the White House said it "will continue to be updated to provide more features, resources, and the most accurate information from the federal government."
Today...lots of accurate answers have been simply forbidden, with the chatbot framing information like who won the 2020 election as forbidden "political commentary." x.com/ddale8/status/...

Pepsi flagged higher prices this week. The 2021 to 2022 pattern is repeating, where companies raised prices despite flattish volumes. What looked like a one-off tied to the Iran war two months ago now looks structural. Companies are already telling markets they are raising prices into 2027.
