Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.
As called on Nuggets radio:
I think it's awesome that the MTA has upgraded its B-line trains so they're modern and clean, and also that they seem to have submerged the PA system in the East River so all the announcements are still impossible to hear
Every elected official in California: Democrats, Republicans, MAGA people, moderate conservatives, centrists, liberals, progressives, and “socialists” alike are lockstep on this one issue:
“Insurance markets are not facing systemic climate risk, insurance companies are simply too greedy”

Wedding photo featuring husband's blue and green kilt
Did not post this just so I can share wedding photos but that IS a fringe benefit
I mean maybe you're supposed to, but if it's just packed in your bag with your clothes, it would be hard for them to do anything.
We custom-ordered my husband's wedding kilt from a kilt maker in Scotland. Between purchase and shipping, tariffs happened, and we ended up having to pay a surprise $900 so they would release it to us before the wedding. It would have been cheaper to fly to Scotland to pick it up.
In China battery electric trucks and hybrid trucks now outsell diesel trucks for the first time.
THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026
* CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt
* Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2
* Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse
* Age of Electricity "confirmed"
* "Extraordinary" solar growth
* Batteries up 40%
* EVs up 20%
1/10
If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can.
And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Have I got a podcast for this guy

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
One of the best moves they could make would be to reimpose the law that made it illegal for corporations to buy back their own stock. It was overturned by the Reagan Administration & the result has been that corporations moved money from wages, new products & infrastructure to propping up the stock
Couldn't get over him being like "I plan to go swimming wearing every single item I own, with my pockets full"
Black Dakine backpack and Levis tote bag
Colorful Cotopaxi Allpa backpack
This is what I carried for a 2 weeks in Scotland v. Costa Rica. Ultimately was probably more comfortable on the Scotland trip, even though I had to put a couple things in the tote.
This is not interesting to anyone but me but unfortunately the NY Times started it
Me? I prefer to travel with a 20L backpack unless it's a true overnighter. I just got the Cotopaxi Allpa 28L and it feels too big, but I'm gonna keep working with it to give myself a little more flexibility
This is correct in terms of the intended purpose of the tech, but I assure you, there are guys out here raw-dogging a multi-week European vacation with only what they can carry in a pair of cargo shorts. And every time they post about it? You better believe I'm reading.

Very funny reading all the reactions to this as someone who has been in the OneBag and ZeroBag subreddits for YEARS. You people have no IDEA how some people are traveling.
Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.
People tried to scam insurance by dressing up as a bear and wrecking luxury cars.
"Investigators then took the video to biologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to also look at the video. The biologists said, 'it was clearly a human in a bear suit.'"
