Allbirds was a shoe company whose business was declining. Eventually, the company sold off its assets for less than 1% of its previous valuation.

But when it announced it would rebrand from shoes to AI, its market value jumped more than 500%.

Wondering if AI is a bubble? Watch this.

It's too bad that the folks in charge after the Civil War didn't contemplate and address keeping insurrectionists from gaining power in the — *listens in earpiece* — I'm sorry to report that they did, but the Supreme Court effectively deleted it.

Spencer Allan Brooks @SpencerSays Substack confirms to me it is hosting its third annual "new media party" at the Renwick Gallery during WHCD weekend. They confirm that streamer and "looksmaxxing" influencer Clavicular will be in attendance, "along with many others." Substack tells me: "This invite-only gathering will bring together an ideologically diverse mix of Substack writers, journalists, politicos, elected officials, and the thinkers and tastemakers shaping today's cultural conversation. The event is a chance to celebrate the independent voices reshaping how Washington consumes and understands the news — and a reflection of the fact that some of the most influential people in media and culture are now building their audiences outside of legacy institutions."

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Mike Johnson has literally had the house on permanent vacation to protect a pedophile. Maybe they should be focusing on that.

This is dangerous. This is fascist. In Germany during Hitler things like this happened.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

It is an unbelievable mindfuck that we're supposed to commemorate the Shoah as Israel genocides Palestine and Lebanon and the US adds trans people to its ongoing genocides against Black and Indigenous people and builds concentration camps for immigrants.

I was 23 when he won. I could not stop sobbing. I somehow knew that this was the beggining of the end.
