I’m going to guess that it’s a bad sign when my broker reaches out to me at 11 in the evening to reassure me that market volatility is normal and nothing to worry about.

The new hotness on social media is to snap a photo of something really mundane, pretend like it's an impenetrable mystery, and claim to have called the cops to investigate it. From what I've seen, it seems to drive engagement like gangbusters. I call the police on every single post like this.

Not to disagree with your video or anything else stated here, but being weird and stupid isn’t incompatible with thriving. Sometimes, it’s the main reason for thriving.

If Carney's logical appeal to Trump's claims of unfairness work, that would be great. But logic isn't where Trump's belligerence arises from. Rather, it's based on his desperate need to look tough. He's a selfish, brutish person who wants his ego stroked. He's not a cunning politician.

"champion American energy dominance" is just a fancy way of saying "enrich petroleum oligarch donors". The Republican leadership has already begun dismantling government investment in non-fossil fuel technologies, hobbling American energy dominance for a generation.

"The judge said the law improperly targets federal officers by treating them differently than state law enforcement officers, who were excluded from the mask ban." Not sure why state law enforcement was excluded, but Gov. Gav, that seems like an easy fix.

Is this the right photo? The religious emblem on the individual's uniform is the Orthodox Cross, and the emblem on his sleeve implies an Adidas track suit. That would be an Eastern European soldier or paramilitary, no?

Hypothetically, if AI increases the productivity of one engineer 10x, then only one is needed to do the work of 10. But mathematically, if you have more than 10 units of work, you'll still need to have more than 1 engineer to handle all of it. Employers can get much more work done if they hire more

The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

A country that does right by its people should have no fear of a free press. It can prove fallacious stories wrong, agree that facts can lead to multiple tenable but contradictory conclusions, or agree with the stories. A country hellbent on imposing its will takes actions to stifle it outright.
