The United States is truly alone right now. They can't count on Russia because Russia is just using the U.S. as a puppet. Israel won't get involved outside their own borders. Who does that leave, El Salvador?

Where else except the Trump White House could you deliver on 7.5% of your promise and still call yourself a success? And there's little proof that he can even achieve that.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

@mcuban.bsky.social believes in the bright future of #AI, and he's super smart. But I think certain knowledge, if easy to obtain without necessary guardrails, will do harm. Example: Grok will let you FAFO with chemical weapons, merely warning "even small amounts can kill millions if mishandled."

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Living in a deeply red state, I decided to send my daughter to a private school starting at preschool (now in 10th grade). Though it has been financially hard--a severe strain at times--that decision has been validated time and time again as the right one. clarksvillenow.com/local/books-...

Audre Lorde (1934-1992), professor, writer, says "my silence had not protected me, it will not protect you." America teaches silence as a means of survival, but in reality "silence will not bring about the conditions for survival," she writes. So let us raise our voices and speak out.

This makes ZERO sense. Sovereign wealth funds exist to invest a nation’s foreign currency holdings from running trade surpluses. The U.S. has a net negative foreign reserve balance, with U.S. dollars held abroad, as a function of its reserve currency status.
