@pmarca What theory? This is just data.

This is an interesting theory, but one may worry that the inefficient and broken sectors of the economy will simply eat up any dark economic surplus, the same way they did during the computer revolution. newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/ai-dark-outp…

@ggreenwald @themarketswork @cenkuygur @hasanthehun The fact that the UK descended into tyranny is old news.

Note that the UK Government just banned entry of two American citizens -- @cenkuygur and @hasanthehun -- not because they criticized or worked against the interests of the UK. It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and off-limits in the UK and so many other wester countires: Israel. The UK under Labour is also regularly arresting its own citizens for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (including old British ladies and countless Jewish activists at these protests, though they remain free to protest *in favor* of Israel or against any other country). This is all driven by the same dynamic that caused the Trump Admin -- as one of its very earliest top priorities last year -- to force US universities to expel American students protesting Israel, to deport others who merely criticized Israel, and to implement aggressive speech codes to protect Israel from common criticisms (even though one is free to say all the same things about any other country, including the US). Why does this one small country command such special, elevated, supreme status and attention in so many western countries? It's way past time to give that question the attention it deserves and to finally put and end to it.

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

@edtchirp Define "sex" and "intersex."

Ah yes. Scientifically sound. Apart from intersex conditions, chromosome variations, and decades of research. But apart from that.

Chromosomal disorders and “intersex” conditions still result in males or females. Have a look at some examples.

@awstar11 In my defense, my Nazi tattoo was purely accidental. I had the tattoo done before I researched what it symbolized.

Who among us hasn’t put a Nazi tattoo on their chest? Let them cast the first stone. So relatable!

My view, exactly!

@Arsenal1888_RX @VerminusM Yes, of course, idiot. And how did the U.S. respond? 🤔

@MarkInvicta @VerminusM We had September 11th. Did you not know that?

Written in February 1945.

Twenty years ago today, Mike Mussina let Joe Torre know he was going to finish what he started 🤣 Mussina then got the final out to close out the last complete game of his Hall of Fame career.

@Arsenal1888_RX @VerminusM I think antisemitism drives double standards when judging Israel. If the U.S. had suffered a terror attack like October 7, the U.S. would have responded similar to Israel. Many critics of Israel would rationalize the U.S. response.

@VerminusM Orwell’s essay was about irrational hatred of Jews as a people, not criticism of a state’s conduct. Hating people for who they are is antisemitism. Holding a government accountable for what it does is not. You’re using the quote to mean the opposite of what he wrote.

Google wants to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California, and not one of them can bite you. They're all male, and male mosquitoes don't drink blood. The plan is to send them out to mate, and let the local bloodsucker population quietly wipe itself out. The trick is one tiny bacterium. These lab-grown males carry Wolbachia, harmless to people and found naturally in something like half the world's insect species. When one of them mates with a normal wild female, her eggs come out duds. They never hatch. Keep flooding a neighborhood with these males week after week, and the next generation barely shows up. It needs no gene editing at all. The whole thing runs on one common germ and a lot of patience. This is Google's "Debug" project, run by its life-sciences arm, and right now it's in the hands of U.S. regulators, who are taking public comments until June 5. This batch is aimed at the mosquito that spreads West Nile, the most common mosquito-borne disease in the U.S. The famous earlier work went after a different one, the kind that carries dengue and Zika. People take this seriously because it has already worked. In a California test, releasing 14.4 million of these males cut the number of biting females by about 95% across the treated neighborhoods. Singapore ran its own version of the same idea and watched dengue cases fall more than 70%, with mosquito numbers down around 90%. Their 2025 dengue count was the lowest since 2018. That viral "1 billion mosquitoes across four continents" line mashes three different projects into one. The billion comes from a different company that uses genetically engineered mosquitoes, mostly in Florida and Texas. The four-continent footprint belongs to a nonprofit running its own Wolbachia releases in 16 countries. Google's own releases sit in the millions, mostly in California. Underneath the sci-fi headlines, the plan is almost boring. Raise millions of males that can't bite, and let their dead-end offspring thin the herd over time.

@swinshi My rule is that I never vote for someone that I don't want to hold office, even if I consider one of the candidates the lesser of two evils.

Amazing when one side can justify moral relativism in voting for a deeply flawed candidate over the alternative without seeing that many voters on the other side are doing the same thing. Moral relativism is bad though. You can just not vote.

Watch how the cycle works: 1. An allegation is made. 2. Journalists report the allegation. 3. NGOs cite the reporting. 4. The UN cites the NGOs. 5. A strongly worded report is issued. 6. Everyone cites the UN report. By the end, an unverified claim has been transformed into an accepted "fact" through repetition rather than evidence.

@litewhisperer @JStuartMacLean That's why nobody buys electronics. Everybody knows that prices will continue to drop. 🙄

@JStuartMacLean Deflation is different. It means entire price level, wages, rents, food, fuel, services, fall persistently. When that happens, consumers rationally delay purchases Why buy today if it will be cheaper next month?

The state didn’t just lift humanity past subsistence; it funded, de-risked, and coordinated the long-horizon projects that markets systematically underinvest in. mmtmichael.substack.com/p/be-careful-w…

Do you guys want to have a real conversation about so-called "implicit bias"?

Bluesky has replaced X as one of the riot supplies organizing for far-left extremists. They use @Venmo and @CashApp to launder the money.

@DaysOverKnights @SteveOnSpeed What happened to incomes over that same time period, genius?

@MarkInvicta @SteveOnSpeed Retarded or just pretending?

Friendly reminder: complaining on X that everything is expensive and that your parents had it easier than you doesn’t change anything.
