No is in the lead now but the quantitative folks think Yes will end up winning by 4.

Hope it comes out ok. I saw SO many No ads by those Thiel groups.

Right on! Let’s bring it home.

Unlikely he would have access to real time info, grain of salt on this one, but posting for awareness

A lot of P. T. Barnums out there

They think he can save them by posting.

I guess he’ll probably extend it based on that latest report but who knows…

The degree to which the major oil markets just bounce around based on what Trump says (or rumors about what Trump thinks) make them extraordinarily ripe for manipulation and insider trading.

A man like this is Secretary of Defense. Except he’s even dumber and way more cruel.

(It’s less if you use Russian airspace, and maybe Vance would get permission since the Russians love him, but still.)

I think this is one of the things people are missing. Depending on how they fly, it’s likely a 15+ hour flight to Islamabad from DC. If he hasn’t left by now, the chances of him getting a deal by 8 PM tomorrow are very slim. Maybe it gets extended, but we’ll see…

Amen.

“Your budget is being illegally slashed with zero oversight, here’s why it’s your fault actually” articles are going wild these last few years

First, stop it. We are <constantly> looking in the mirror & if you haven’t done any of the trainings or gone to any of the talks/meeting about that, I can’t help you.

Second, we don’t have time. We’re constantly meeting about how to survive as 25% of our budget is illegally cut off by the fascists.

I voted YES in Virginia and you should too! Today’s the day! Don’t miss it!

Which Asian Countries Are Most at Risk From the Iran Energy Shock? Across Asia, factories are closing, flagship airlines are cutting routes, and people are lining up for hours to buy cooking gas, all because of the war in Iran.

For almost two months, the conflict in the Middle East has effectively halted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, all but cutting off a fifth of the world’s supply of oil and LNG.

Few regions have been impacted as much as the Asia-Pacific.

If not more. It’s ridiculous.
Of course, Junger has always been into that “warrior ethos” junk.

This actually illustrates a very important point about tariffs: that the cost imposed on consumers comes from the reduction in supply and increase in price, and only indirectly from the tariff fee itself. Regardless of "who pays", it is effectively a transfer of wealth from consumers to producers.

Seems like she was sort of before my time (at least the moment the person quoted brought up). Care to give us a précis?

This is an A+ post.

Tim Cook Will Step Down as Apple C.E.O.

Under Tim Cook, Apple aided the CCP's censorship and surveillance of its population. It removed almost all VPNs from the Chinese app store, and built a joint-data center with the Chinese government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/t...

Privatizing space is stupid and the companies suck.

This is just him being convinced of some silliness by reading a bunch of social media comments and theories.

Since I’ve been asked, yes, I think Iran and the Trump administration will meet in Pakistan this week. No, I do not think they will get a deal. The war aims are too far apart, absent some pretty heavy concessions and there’s little sign either side is ready for that.
