The push to allow 401Ks to invest in private credit is part of their exit strategy.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

„Viktor is making a historic mistake.” An exclusive interview with President Zelenskyy | Válasz Online

President Zelensky gave an interview to one of the few remaining independent news outlets in Hungary.
He discussed hostile Hungarian intelligence activities on Ukrainian soil. A Hungarian Agent helped the Russians bomb a power substation in Zakarpattia. www.valaszonline.hu/2025/06/10/v...

68 missiles, 430 drones — in 1 night.

Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv oblasts were hit.

People were killed and wounded. Civilian and energy infrastructure — damaged.

All because of terrorist russia.

An infographic titled "Valentine’s Day Chemistry" explores the molecules behind love. It features pink chemical structures for dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and oxytocin. Dopamine is linked to pleasure, while serotonin levels decrease, potentially causing obsession. Adrenaline increases heart rate and excitement. Oxytocin, the "cuddle hormone," fosters trust.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Here are some of the molecules of love ❤️ www.compoundchem.com/2023/02/13/v...

How AI Impacts Skill Formation Judy Hanwen Shen, Alex Tamkin AI assistance produces significant productivity gains across professional domains, particularly for novice workers. Yet how this assistance affects the development of skills required to effectively supervise AI remains unclear. Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition in the process. We conduct randomized experiments to study how developers gained mastery of a new asynchronous programming library with and without the assistance of AI. We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average. Participants who fully delegated coding tasks showed some productivity improvements, but at the cost of learning the library. We identify six distinct AI interaction patterns, three of which involve cognitive engagement and preserve learning outcomes even when participants receive AI assistance. Our findings suggest that AI-enhanced productivity is not a shortcut to competence and AI assistance should be carefully adopted into workflows to preserve skill formation -- particularly in safety-critical domains.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”

Angel,' (1887) is both a portrait of Abbott Handerson Thayer's 11 year old daughter Mary and an allegory of hope and spirituality. Thayer scraped the paint with backs of brushes, scrapers, his fingers, and a paint tube to achieve the depth in the wings.

Ask yourself: What kind of state bombs maternity wards 81 times?

Post 1945/1989 Europe Ends Tomorrow (Courtesy Of The USA) Do Not Buy The Narrative That Russia Definitely Wants To Keep Fighting

Just sent this out on tomorrow's Alaska/Russia summit. The USA is now an agent to transfer Ukrainian territory to Russia, and the post 1945/1989 Europe is over. The new one will not be so nice--but no one (outside of Ukraine) seems willing to fight for the old one. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Cet argumentaire pour la voiture électrique utilise un concept que j'adore : le raisonnement contrefactuel.

L'idée est toute simple : imaginez une autre situation, où les choses seraient différentes, et voyons ce que cela nous apprends.

EX GREEN BERET: “In my entire career, I never witnessed the brutality and use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against an unarmed, starving civilian population until I was in Gaza at the hands of IDF & US contractors… without question, war crimes.”

This is just sickening! British surgeon Professor Nick Maynard describes how several young boys attending the "GHF" humanitarian all received gunshots to their testicles one day, and on each day victims would have similar injuries - as if they were being used as target practise!

‘Basically impossible to get them back’: Russia’s mass abduction of Ukrainian children is a war crime, say experts As territories shift and divide families, desperate parents are travelling to Russia to find their children, many of whom have been moved into military camps or orphanages

wtf 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

Nobody ever talks about regime change or collapse in North Korea or Pakistan, while Ukraine got fucked for nothing after denuclearization. The logic of nonprolif is now more or less permadead

Where on earth did Trump get his tariff data from? *Note: all screenshots are posted on the bottom of the articles. When Trump unveiled his tariffs on various countries, I focused heavily on one question: where in the **** did he get the values in …

Uhm,
(1) where did those numbers come from? Likely something really dumb: lessdumbinvesting.com/2025/04/02/w...

(2) why is Russia not on the list?
