it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
Yeah, let's plug the teenage robot that is "HAVING ANXIETY" into our national weapons systems. THAT'S SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT FUCKING IDEA.
How the fuck can something have a conscious and not be alive, Nilay?
Say it with your chest, Dan.
A different betting-on-murder app, Kalshi, just partnered (read: gave money to) with the Associated Press, which absolutely should know better than to give their golden goose (industry-standard election results) to a gambling site, but apparently they are run by fucking morons now.
Polymarket is trying VERY HARD to wheedle their way into a more socially acceptable space, where instead of being FanDuel for bombings, they are thought of as An Important Dataset. They just partnered (read: gave money to) Substack for this reason. Do not accept the premise. It is bullshit.
Telling courts that refunds would be "automatic" and "assured" was the government's way of avoiding emergency relief.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
Today, Virginia is the only U.S. state where someone convicted of any felony loses their right to vote for life, unless it is personally restored by the governor.
Lawmakers this year advanced a constitutional amendment to repeal that rule.
The fuck you mean? Put the money in the bag.
Like start a war that would make gas prices go up?
Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.
Wait. Didn't that happen before? In, like, 2008...
Well, it makes the White House look bad, so I'm not sad about it either...
Stephen Miller's stupid fucking dream of White people from Mississippi moving to New York to build houses or to California to cut grass isn't going to happen, but they are going to keep trying.
Also, that makes no fucking sense.
That...that doesn't sound strong.
Ha.
Let's breakdown how things are going:
-War in Iran.
-Gas prices going up.
-ICE assholes snatching people up in the streets.
-Terrible jobs numbers.
Am I missing anything?
I always thought that unemployment at around 6% was ideal because it allowed flexibility in the job market. Am I just wrong on that?
Wait, if Alexa+ doesn't do what those fucking commercials says it does, can't I sue them?
I mean, I think that's the business model. Sell shit that doesn't do what it says but it gets into homes and vacuums a shit ton of data.
but it’s good at surveilling you and feeding your voice and data into its slop banks
Is that good or bad?
Of course they are
Only someone really nervous talks like this.
He legit might be dying.
