I apologize on behalf of our country Ms. Sabalenka
The United States is now the open laughing stock of the world. Two US Opens in a row athletes outwardly repulsed and appalled at the open pungent weed smoke that pervades NYC

Aryna Sabalenka had to speak to the umpire mid-match at the U.S. Open due to someone smoking weed:
“Someone is smoking weed. Do you mind? Because it’s so strong.”
General Washington in 1776: "All Officers, non-commissioned Officers and Soldiers are positively forbid playing at Cards, and other Games of Chance; At this time of public distress, men may find enough to do..without abandoning themselves to vice and immorality."

George Washington on gambling: 'This is a vice which is productive of every possible evil...It is the child of Avarice—the brother of inequity—& father of Mischief—It has been the Ruin of many worthy familys—the loss of many a mans honor—& the cause of Suicide"

This is disgusting: No sneakers in the speakers lobby is one of the most important rules of the US Congress
In niche Hill news — future rules governing footwear in the speakers lobby — Jeffries says he “leans” in the direction of changing the rules to allow sneakers, but won’t commit.

Accountability for the wealthiest people on Earth is hard to come by.
Thank you for believing in the power of independent journalism to accomplish it.
(And, yes, more to come.)

Congratulations to my friend @PabloTorre: One of the few sports journalists who stands apart from the insider BS coverage that makes up the vast majority of sports media today
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

If you or someone you know is a gambler: Please send this episode to them
It is one of the few that will ever get out there as Kalshi, Polymarket, DraftKings, FanDuel pay the media off with their blood money

What kind of government would push gambling, porn and drugs on its own population? Saagar Enjeti on who’s getting rich from the destruction of young men in America.
Another important part of the data center discourse: They're literally the only things being built right now and as the Journal makes clear our financial system is built expressly to depress new housing builds

Here's a fun game: Ask your gut how many people were "liberated" from the Bastille
Then google the real answer
Senior Pentagon officials have become so indoctrinated by Israel that they now use their most infamous expressions which catastrophically backfired on them in Gaza
I have been thinking about this quite a lot and if we take Dwarkesh's essay seriously its undeniable that current model development is exactly equivalent to Gain Of Function
and if thats your framework the conversation around all AI development questions changes dramatically

@dwarkesh_sp at a certain point you have to ask why this is not considered gain of function research
'Day trading' content is absolutely exploding on social media targeted to young men especially after Trump removed the 25k reserve limit. A reminder that its almost as bad a bet as gambling
70%+ of day traders lose money over the course of a year

Day trading might seem like the high-risk, high-reward activity that only specialists would engage in.
But we found that 38% of male students ages 18 to 29 traded stocks daily.
This compares to just 14% of young men with a bachelor’s degree and 21% of those without a degree who day trade.
We found that young men who day trade are nearly twice as likely to report feeling like a failure as those who do not.

From what I understand in Texas: Paxton and Abbots nightmare scenario is a Dem electorate that will crawl over broken glass to vote with depressed GOP turnout
The most identifiable threat to the GOP in TX is depressed turnout of rural Republicans revolting over data centers

See I am the total opposite: "read lots of books" guys are free. We flit from subject to subject, get to 90% on a variety of topics, draw connections the experts could never make, and don't get caught up in byzantine technical debates that nobody actually cares about
Show more
there's a certain melancholy to being a "read lots of books" guy, you can read five good books on a subject and probably be in the at least 90th percentile of knowledge on it, but compared to a real expert, you might as well have read zero

4%+ of all economic growth this quarter is just tariff refunds lol
Never in my lifetime have I seen the Pentagon brass desperately leak to keep the US OUT of a war. It is always the opposite to box a President in
Just shows how bad things are
EXCLUSIVE: Military leaders warned Hegseth that keeping the force of more than 50,000 troops in the Middle East is unsustainable, drawing “non-concurs” from them in recent orders to extend troops. (gift link) w/ @AlexHortonTX

The Pentagon should also secretly hire an editor so the unhinged fed influencer rants are shorter and moderately intelligible
To the extent the market is rigged, its rigged to go up
And sports betting is quite literally rigged to make you go broke
But ultimately this is probably why my anti-gambling project will fail because people really are that fucking stupid
