As a former baseball player, thrilled to see Milwaukee Brewers—hailing from a city of 500k diehard fans with solid Midwestern values, sitting comfortably in the bottom quartile of salaries —whooping it up on the game's biggest stage. A true David vs. Goliath story come to life !!
Can you imagine paying big bucks for tickets to watch your team get destroyed and go down 3-0 in the series? At least this guy is having a good time in Tampa.

Polymarket predicted Flávio Bolsonaro would win the election in Brazil with 80 percent chance, while Luna’s chances of winning bottomed out at a dismal 12 percent
So much for ,wisdom of the crowds,
Flávio: "Lula, você pode explicar porque 73% dos presidiários votaram em você?"
Lula:""Eu quero é os 100%, até o teu pai. Bolsonaro, vota em mim, até você sabe que eu sou melhor que ele!"
SOCORRO KKKKKKKKKK

A German election result heard around the world
If reasonable elected officials don't address voters concerns, why should we be surprised when unreasonable people do? giftarticle.ft.com/giftartic…

Quote of the day:
“Britain is poorer than we often think.
We won’t get richer based on higher public spending alone, and we can’t tax billionaires who don’t live here."

The most lopsided chase for pioneering technology in history of humanity.
Either the US will be right and the rest of us wrong, or the other way around.
Time will soon tell.

As Cryuff said „there are two kinds of teams: those that organise themselves around the ball and those that disorganise themselves chasing it. „

Any chance both Altman and Musk lose? Would this not provide the greatest good for greatest number?
It’s clear both created pretence of a charity wrapped in an evangelical narrative in what turns out to have been - in truth - a Trojan horse driven by personal power and greed.
Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop.
Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock directly.
The fundamental question is simply this:
Do you want to set legal precedent in the United States that it is ok to loot a charity? If so, you undermine all charitable giving in the United States forever.
I could have started OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. Instead, I started it, funded it, recruited critical talent and taught them everything I know about how to make a startup successful FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
Then they stole the charity.

The critical question is stamina ~ western media has been touting Irans economic collapse for years. With primary motivation religious zealotry, min wage of $130 /mth and abundance of cash and handouts, can it not outlast Trump and midterm elections?
am I missing something?

Was at the WH Correspondents dinner last night, a rare DC trip for me without a subpoena. On the positive side—was exciting, no one was killed, and ended early. I noted a new litmus for status among the gov’t elite—whether you were whisked away by secret service, or left to fend.
For the record, Trump has claimed over last month:
he won the war “completely”
needs help to win the war
“needs no help” to win the war
“unconditionally surrendered” war without achieving any of 15 demands
All to destroy the nuclear program he claims he already “obliterated” .

Global carmakers retreat en masse from electric vehicle plans
Where is our brilliant friend, @elonmusk ~ perfect time to applaud all his efforts to stay the course and ween us of our dependence on dirty, unreliable hydrocarbons.
What happened?
