I’m neither advocating for or against it but age-related tax advantages are clearly tilting the scale.

You can make an argument for it but pretending it’s not is … intentional blindness.

I agree, but there are also programs like Enhanced Star in NY that discriminate in the reverse direction.

Iran War Has Boosted Costs of Energy, Food and Now Condoms The Iran war’s economic shockwaves have now hit condoms.

‘The 30% surge in condom costs underscores how the Middle East war, which has already upended energy markets and raised prices for food to fertilizers, is disrupting virtually every aspect of life for consumers.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sure, if you want to disable whole platoons at a time that live and work in close quarters this is a good idea.

Trump Property & Golf Tracker — Philip Bump An ongoing accounting of days President Trump has spent at his own golf clubs and hotels during his second term, and how often he's likely played golf.

Because I've been talking about how Trump spends his time (and forgot golf), linking @pbump.com's tracker. In recent weeks Trump had his 365th day of golf across the two terms.

Just as Republicans bringing up their big beautiful bill which gave pennies to the non-rich while allowing POTUS policies that skyrocketed costs won't bring them accolades,

Trump talking about other (lost) wars while losing one unlikely to be well received.

First TV ad is officially on the air! If you didn't catch it, here's the gist:

Stealing is bad. Stealing from taxpayers is worse. As governor, I'll make jail time mandatory for those who misuse taxpayer dollars.

This is the start of the repricing of inference. It's simply too expensive at scale to subsidize.

This is going to cause friction and you'll start to see pressure on end users to show increased margins and profits from AI usage (which early adopters should be showing but are not).

Here we go.

Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual plans We're making these changes to ensure a reliable and predictable experience for existing customers.

This is news for today. Finally, someone (Microsoft) admitted that the real running cost of AI infrastructure massively exceeds the income from it.

I expect similar posts from other AI giants to follow.

I think it’s bad that the president casually refers to a leader of the opposition as a “traitor.”

Not a man who knows to stop digging when he's in a hole.

Further he's now surrounded by people telling him he's close to hitting oil/gold.

He'll get his low interest rates if he has to create a worldwide recession to merit them.

And he'll get it ... even if he has to destroy the world economy first to merit it.

The really strange thing about the tariffs is the constant harping on business media about the difficulty of refunding the large number (hundreds of millions?) of transactions.

They had to track these to charge them in the first place. Are they not keeping detailed logs of monies paid? What?

Seniority rules make keeping politicians forever useful for their constituents.

Parties should place limits on these rules to encourage turnover.

Cancel the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner The White House Correspondents Dinner shouldn't invite a president who is an enemy of free speech. Better no "Nerd Prom" than this one.

... "A fundraising event to support 'programs to educate the public and the value of the First Amendment and a free press' should not have a featured speaker who is the biggest peacetime threat to the First Amendment and a free press in American history," writes @billscher.bsky.social.

The surprising origin of 4 features that superglue kids — and adults — to screens Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable.

Gas, tax refunds and maybe a little frontrunning of expected inflation.

Public opinion is _so_ bad on the economy and inflation that _any_ attempt by Republicans to even bring up the subject is likely to weigh against them.

"We got you bigger tax refunds." is only going to make people mad.

Very useful for things that are 'good enough' if you have the base to judge the output.

The problem of course is when people use it and assume correctness, or are incapable of judging correctness.

And we don't have good visibility into how it's affecting the publics notion of truth.
