Checking in on this
ONE YEAR AGO: JD Vance wonders if podcasters claiming Trump will get us into a regime change war for Iran will ever admit they were wrong.

TPUSA spokesman outright says that he's covered for a known pedophile for years.
Dear Democrats, This is why we called him Lady Graham. This isn’t an October surprise, we’ve known this for years. And blaming his sister for the fact Lindsey was a poorly closeted gay man, is only going to backfire. No one cares.

El-Sayed denounces the Muslim Brotherhood and they're still pissed off. Meanwhile, Trump does actual antisemitic rants on stage and they're afraid to say his name.
The term “Shylock” is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community.

Are explicit quid pro quo favors not illegal? Is this some "not illegal when the president does it" bullshit? What is even happening any more? People used to give at least a little bit of a fuck about this kind of stuff.
Trump: "With Roger Marshall in the Senate, we will make year-round E15 permanent. But if Adam Hamilton is in, I'm not going it. That's it. I'm only doing it for him. That's a big deal for Kansas."

It’s easy to criticize us for starting this war 7 months ago, but now we are where we are. What is El Sayed going to do to fix our huge fuckups?
One of the biggest pressure points on Americans' wallets is the Iran war, which has kept oil prices high even as the U.S. and Iran have refrained from active fighting in recent weeks. Vice President JD Vance told one Michigan voter that he believes, “when this conflict is over, we are going to see gas prices come down.”

Type of shit you can do when you don't have to fund and defend Israel in their 7 wars of choice
NEW: 🇨🇳 China's nuclear fusion research has completed a massive magnet weighing 582 tons. The goal is an "unlimited energy" artificial sun. They plan to start the first power generation by 2030. A safe, CO2-zero ultimate energy race.

I don't understand why the schizophrenic homeless person at the subway station isn't sitting at their computer tokenmaxxing right now.

She probably looked at the code like a loser.
In case someone’s curious where I left off with my fork of the original Rails code I fixed some sloppy cache code that hits the DB on every cache hit (yes really) Pretty confident most of the issues are just app code and you could get it down even more.

hahahahahaha omfg what a fucking sociopath

I don't read code to make the code better. I read code to make myself better. I understand the system better by reading the code, which makes me better at creating new code.

i hate him so much but also wrecking tom cotton's cell is hillarious.
President Trump gives out Tom Cotton’s cell number over the daylight savings bill.

I don't get enough credit for all the things I nearly did.
The day that Biden grew so angry at Netanyahu that he nearly cut him off: "He was just completely fed up with everything and I think at that moment he was ready to just say, 'I’m done,'" @brett_mcgurk recalls as he releases "Brink," his memoir of Gaza war. nytimes.com/2026/10/01/us/po…

Huang: We used to call them data centers but the things that we're building now, these are really SI factories, super intelligence factories

what?
“Supreme Intelligence,” probably because of its relationship to the Supreme Court, is losing badly to both “Superior” and “Extreme Intelligence.” Therefore, we are going to take “Supreme Intelligence” OUT, deleting it as a qualifier, and let you vote for the Final Two: Superior Intelligence, or Extreme Intelligence. A fresh Vote begins now! President DONALD J. TRUMP

You can say what you want about Iran but they're definitely pretty unique in their communication: never seen a country threaten another with a math equation before 😅 For those who didn't get it: there is a famous monetary policy formula used by the Fed called the "Taylor rule" that says a central bank's policy rate (i) should equal the neutral real rate (r*) plus target inflation (π*), plus 1.5 times the inflation gap and 0.5 times the output gap (the "i = r* + π* + 1.5(π−π*) + 0.5(y−y*)" part of Ghalibaf's formula). Ghalibaf adds α(SOH−SOH*) and β(BEM−BEM*): SOH referring to the Strait Of Hormuz and BEM to Bab El-Mandeb. Both have positive coefficient, meaning the more those chokepoints are choked, the higher the rate the Fed would have to set to fight the resulting inflation. In a nutshell this is Ghalibaf trolling the Fed, telling them that Iran is - in a very real way - setting American monetary policy.
Straits Taylor Rule: i = r* + π* + 1.5(π−π*) + 0.5(y−y*) + α(SOH−SOH*) + β(BEM−BEM*), α,β > 0 Let’s see if a hike could open SOH or produce a single barrel :) You can’t 25bp a chokepoint and r* isn’t neutral. It’s SOH risk premium, and We set it. Stay unanchored !
