Ancient coins are less valuable then you'd think, only both rare and with very specific history like the Eid Mar denarius that Brutus made to celebrate killing JC or the Sestertius that Titus minted to celebrate the opening of the colosseum would get you a bus

They like Trump and want to help him rule us a king, so they help downplay scandals that would've merited banner headlines for weeks under any other president

On international women’s day I want to tell you about Tetiana. She’s a paramedic and she underwent rehabilitation after a combat injury while being 8 months pregnant

Women are extremely cool, I love women, happy women’s day!

So I’m not going to dismiss the reports out of hand, but keep in mind that Dropsite News is Ryan Grim, the guy who helped make up rape allegations about Biden to help elect a rapist

The difference is that they like Trump, think he's a good president and want to help him, and they didn't like Biden, thought he was a bad President, so tried to hurt him

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

this isn't just a MAGA thing, it's a cross-American one and *especially* a lot of people who came of age in politics or punditry in the 1990s. the idea that the news could happen to them - that the world might not be all going their way - is genuinely brain-breaking to a lot of them

If you truly believed Graham Platner is not antisemitic at all, you would be sending him to synagogues in Maine to speak to Jews and reassure them of that. That is what Mamdani did during the NYC mayoral election. The fact they are not doing that is... telling.

Ясно блять, реакції на орбана модна не чекати від єс. Бо я бачу в рядових мешканців ЄС реакцію "невсетакоднозначна" і "ну як би все було норм з докумнетами то ніхто б не арештовував, значить там шось не так, хай пояснять і тоді все відпустять"

I’m calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.

Taiwan's Modern Miracle The AI Boom Has Delivered a 2nd Economic Miracle to Taiwan, Pushing GDP Growth Above 23%. It Must Navigate Rising Geopolitical & Economic Tensions to Keep it.

NEW from me:

Taiwan's GDP is growing at a 23% annualized rate, driven by record exports as the country's semiconductor industry ramps up to meet AI demand

It's a modern economic miracle, but one that comes with major macroeconomic & geopolitical risks🧵

The rapid expansion of American-owned data centres in the Middle East has opened up a new front for Iran’s retaliation against the US, complicating Gulf ambitions to build multibillion-dollar AI facilities in the region.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack.

Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes.

Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.

The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyper…

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

yeah the damage a single bad billionaire can do wildly outstrips any positive impact even a theoretically ideal billionaire can have

more, I think that the kind of person you need to be to become a billionaire tends to select for the worst outcomes in all but the rarest of cases

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.
