I’m glad more people are pointing this out. I talked about it it a few weeks ago w/ @janus.bsky.social Companies are attempting a sleight of hand where they capture data but argue because of how it’s processed it’s not “recording” and is thus private. They are still surveillance devices!

We can’t just change the definition of ‘recording’
Soon, asking “Does this device have a camera?” won’t be good enough.

get it twisted: there is no such a thing as truth. you live as simply the sum total of other people's perceptions. you can recreate your reality with every glance get it twisted: the world is utterly and terrifyingly objective. all matters are decidable. every lie is total annihilation of the soul

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

Gen Z is saying "type shit", which I now understand to mean "I agree or approve of this thing" Originally, I thought it referred to strong static typing systems in programming languages. But it does not refer to this.

As long as there are no direct trains (that I saw earlier) between European capitals and prices are high, people will still mostly fly or drive. It shouldn't take ages and cost c. £500 to travel from Paris to Berlin or Madrid. And don't get me started on the Eurostar leg...

imo movies should only contain sex scenes if they further the plot
A comic showing two adventurers trying to enter a sealed vault. As they look for a way in one of them notices a symbol on the door depicting two people banging. “Could it be that simple?” he muses. And it turns out it is. Having sex in front of the tomb door unseals it, and reveals the treasure inside.

Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan thinks the global economy is living on borrowed time. www.dallasfed.org/news/speeche...
Before I address more traditional imbalances, I’d like to share an update on global oil balances from my vantage point in Texas. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has reduced global oil supply on net by nearly 13 million barrels per day, or more than 10 percent. Inventory drawdowns have filled much of that shortfall so far, including through increased exports from the United States. However, inventories are finite.

Industry leaders see little scope to increase oil production outside the Persian Gulf in the near term. The Dallas Fed’s latest survey of energy executives asked how U.S. oil production will respond to the war. Most respondents anticipate output will rise by no more than 250,000 barrels per day by the end of 2026 and 500,000 barrels per day in 2027.

My contacts give three reasons for the constrained response. First, producers exercise strict capital discipline. Second, they face tight supplies of labor and other inputs. Third, many wells produce both oil and natural gas, but there is little pipeline capacity to move more gas out of the fields in West Texas. Gas prices at the wellhead in the Permian Basin are already deeply negative. Fixed export capacity also means that in the near term, U.S. natural gas cannot fill much of the gap in global gas supplies from the closure of the strait.

With supplies highly constrained, if shipping through the strait does not soon return to prewar levels, world oil and natural gas consumption could need to fall more meaningfully than it has so far. The economic consequences would depend on the degree to which end users can switch to other energy sources or use energy more efficiently, versus curtailing economic activity.

One way or another, I expect energy markets to come into rough balance before too long. If the molecules aren’t available, the world can’t consume them.
