@UsAll_SlavaUkr @Evan_Rosenfeld @Norse_Heithinn Terrorism is a useless word. It has no definition that can be applied broadly it just means a group who we generally regard as bad because we don’t like their goals.

@Evan_Rosenfeld @Norse_Heithinn But we're not funding Hamas with 4 billion dollars a year to kill 100,000 civilians across the middle east. We have sanctioned the crap out of Hamas & Iran. Because they are terrorists. What is Israel is doing is industrial genocide funded by the west. That needs to stop.
English
Democrats are trying to buy time on Israel by making Netanyahu the whole issue.
It is a way to appease an increasingly radical part of their base without admitting how far that base has moved from even conditional support for the U.S.-Israel alliance.

Chuck Schumer : "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace."
The fact that this monstrous genocidal maniac is the minority leader in the senate is a disgrace and an embarrassment

@edzitron What exactly are they claiming these buildings will allow them to do? I don’t get it. All these models do what they do now, how is more compute going to change anything? They’ll answer a few milliseconds faster?

Now OpenAI’s head of infrastructure pushing this. A coordinated disinformation campaign, nice!

Stargate is building compute at industrial scale and we are excited about the intelligence this will enable us to build and deliver!
English
This is complete and utter bullshit. Building 3 has only just been handed over, and each building is 103MW.
Epoch AI@EpochAIResearch
The most advanced Stargate site is in Abilene, Texas. With an estimated 0.6 GW already operational today and 1.2 GW expected by Q3 2026, it is ahead of all other sites. OpenAI recently withdrew from plans to expand the site to 2.1 GW. Microsoft has since claimed the extra 900 MW.

When an authoritarian regime where independent polling is illegal says our poll for the @MiamiHerald ‘means nothing,’ that tells you everything. Cuban Americans in South Florida answered freely — without fear of being jailed for expressing their opinion. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

@EasyMode476 @dorianhern37304 @lxeagle17 But what about a Chinese American owned business that proudly raised money to fund settlements of Chinese people in a neighboring country?
English
@dorianhern37304 @lxeagle17 Imagine if the question was “it’s ok to boycott Chinese-American owned businesses to protest the Chinese government.
You don’t think people forming a picket line around the local business of some random descendent of Chinese immigrants would be racist as hell?

Some actual hard data on this: there is a really sharp gradient on antisemitism by both race (nonwhite Americans) and age (younger Americans).

Iran has managed to maintain, at least outwardly, its alliance with Hezbollah.
I don’t think there’s a single person who believes that the Strait of Hormuz was opened because of the ceasefire in Lebanon and not because the American blockade threatened to choke Iran’s economy.
Just as there isn’t a single person who truly thinks that the ceasefire in Lebanon is related to peace talks and not to negotiations with Iran.

Bohumilo@bohumilo
118,000 people have escaped extreme poverty EVERY DAY since 1990! If you give higher utility to a hungry child having extra milk than to a wealthy person having extra space on a yacht, neoliberalism has vastly more benefited the poorest people in the world.

Hasan Piker: “The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.”
This is who Democrats are embracing.

Cameron Cawthorne@Cam_Cawthorne
.@AbdulElSayed asked his comms director whether she could separate the “bogeys” (referring to Fox News, Free Beacon, etc) from the other media outlets last week during a pre-rally moment caught on Piker’s livestream. She answered in the affirmative and then they did fist bump.

@DKThomp @AlecMacGillis I’m okay with social security not being taxed, but my preferred solution to fix government revenue is a massive corporate tax hike and then decouple the brackets from inflation. Problem will slowly fix itself
English
The emerging American tax logic right now is something like:
- we can’t tax the poor because they’re poor
- we can’t tax the working class because they work
- we can’t tax tips bc that’s just unfair
- we can’t tax businesses because they create work
- we can’t tax property bc homeowners have it hard enough
- we can’t tax billionaires because their contributions are so precious and also they might move or get mad or give your primary opponent $10m
- and we can’t tax pensioners because they’ve “earned it.”
It’s like the accommodative parenting style of politics. Every group is so very special it needs a tax jubilee.
I guess that leaves … tariffs?
The White House@WhiteHouse
They earned it. They deserve it. NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY! The golden age for seniors' golden years. 🇺🇸

@adam_tooze It’s mildly amusing that American is doubling down on sanctions and war to manage empire while China is just sitting there saying “work with us, no strings.”

Reports of the end of China’s One Belt One Road lending were very premature - 2025 was a record year for new commitments. More on this in the Chartbook Top Links today.

@baker_girlie The drugs that were mentioned, do NOT have drowsiness as an expected side effect.
Now that I’ve said that , I do agree that we have become too symptom oriented, using pharmaceuticals instead of addressing the primary discrepancy.

This clueless lady gets pulled over for driving erratically and having a street sign sticking out the back of her car. It’s quite obvious she ran over the sign. She isn’t drunk. She is under the influence of prescription medication.
These officers are very kind. I wonder if they arrested her because her husband was at the airport heading to NY for a surgery.

@toonsonstrings @Ronzabonzz @theepicmap Yeah Myrtle beach was swamp everywhere before development, with pretty limited access until well into the 20th century.
English
@Ronzabonzz @theepicmap Ports!
Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah have natural ports but they pale in comparison to natural northern ports and harbors.
So they became large commercial hubs but not as large as the Northern cities.
Myrtle Beach is an outlier tourist destination.

@MattBruenig @mooseinabath @Noahpinion The biggest recipients of welfare are Americans in the top 20-25% of household incomes with large mortgages. Shit my mortgage saved me 15k.
English
@mooseinabath @Noahpinion Both my parents are on Social Security. My uncle and grandmother are in Medicaid nursing homes. I suppose none of them are currently working though they have worked in the past.
English
People don't enjoy their jobs. What they like is the idea that they have some sort of leverage over society, to *make* society give them food and shelter instead of just *begging* for it.
That's why most people don't want to be on welfare, even if they'd have more *stuff*.
English
@its_yo_boi_murr @yepisyenitr @shannonrwatts You WANT to believe it, just like you want to believe Hamas does heinous acts of terrorism. But there’s plenty of Israeli officials being quite honest that the only way for permanent peace is to kill all the Arabs.
English
@yepisyenitr @shannonrwatts I don’t know about that. I want to believe that the Israeli government only wishes to destroy Hamas. Though, I do wish they would put more care into evacuating the Palestinians before attacking.
English
Jon Favreau: "When you say Hamas is a thousand times better, do you mean that?"
Hasan Piker: "I do mean it … I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.”

@shannonrwatts Yeah his whole point was compare the death counts.
