a reminder: they are releasing 100m barrels over 4 months. the world uses about 100m barrels of oil/day. one days's worth. over four months. this will be less than 1M Barrels/day. or less than 1%/day. just for perspective. And at the end of the 4 months, there will less reserves, in reserve.

"Had law enforcement and prosecutors engaged more thoroughly with Jane Doe’s original complaint, they might have tempered the vigilantism that would eventually tinge much of the response to the case." This is such a critical point (made by Jessica Winter via @newyorker.com)—and a lesson for others.

WTF? Japan is trialing a drug that regrows human teeth by blocking USAG-1—a protein that keeps dormant tooth buds switched off. Phase I is done. Phase IIa in children with congenital tooth loss is next. If it works, dentures and implants could become obsolete.

Trump spent Friday showing Xi Jinping the Constitution and Bill of Rights at the National Archives, one day after a judge forced his White House to restore access to news organizations he banned. Sometimes irony doesn’t need a writer. It just needs a tour guide. #FirstAmendment

11 million ppl voted in Florida in 2024. This means that instances of illegal voting—if all 20 of these cases are actually that (which, doubtful)—would have been .00018% of the total vote.

20 years ago, Bush fired several U.S. Attorneys for failing to pursue election fraud cases against Democrats. It was a major scandal that led to a special counsel and multiple resignations. When Trump's DOJ threatened to do the same thing, it barely registered. www.sidebarsblog.com/p/doj-report...

Anyone who has dealt with the expansive American view of the reach of US regulatory law to individuals and corporations outside the US will be amused by this DOJ argument that EU courts cannot apply EU laws to US companies who breach EU privacy laws by misusing personal information of EU citizens.

Netanyahu accuses Britain and France of inventing colonialism. Which is a lie. Colonialism is thousands of years older than either modern Britain or France. Ancient examples include Greek colonies around the Mediterranean, Phoenician settlements such as Carthage, and Roman colonial expansion.

When no one believes a country can pay back its debts, people stop buying its bonds. And if that happens, it starts to mean the currency or money is worthless because the markets stop believing it has value. The belief that the US was a stable country meant we could basically spend what we want.

The bond market is signaling trouble ahead. This is why you should pay attention
Many people don't pay attention to bond markets, but they should — especially now. This is why they matter and why the drop in bond prices is signaling investor concerns about the U.S. economy.

Seriously. This is from tonight. The President correctly knows one definition of “deficit” is “loss,” and so it seems he thinks a “trade deficit” means how much you lose in trade. It doesn’t. /this is also a man who has on multiple occasions bragged about knowing that “dumb” is spelled with a “B.”
