"Breaking news: Gavin Newsom and his wife made $1.4 million in 2024, tax returns show." "…continued to earn the bulk of their income from…investments in the wine and hospitality industry, which have been held in a blind trust since he became governor." This not in any way, breaking news.

If your congressperson or senator is 70 or older, you should really ask yourself why the fuck does that person want the job anyhow. Someone who thinks only they can do the job is a colossal liability and should be laughed out of office. Experience and institutional knowledge is important, but c'mon.

If I was waging an (illegal) asymmetric war against an enemy who only needs a water bottle filled with gasoline, a hiking map, and a match to catastrophically alter my economy, I’d probably look for an off ramp. But that’s just me.

Because the US Constitution is a slaveholder-enriching joke of a document, Trump can pardon any military member convicted under the UCMJ. He can issue pardons for military crimes before charges are filed, during a court-martial, or after a conviction. Nobody will be held accountable for Iran.

Every rental e-scooter is a threat to public transportation and safe cycling and walking. They suck hard. Ban them today. If you own your own e-scooter, that's a different thing and I support private ownership completely.

The price of crude oil is no longer a connecting measure to your energy/production/life costs. Lots of crude oil is available on the cheap if you can transport it, refine it, ship the refined product, and then can afford to use the refined product to produce your product, then ship it to consumers.

SpaceX is down about 50% from the high. Every day they bleed value. In a week on August 4, their earnings are announced followed by lock-up expiration on August 6. If you thought Elon was unhinged in the Economist interview just wait for next week. Both SpaceX and Tesla look like the market dogs.

An oil tanker reportedly struck a naval mine and exploded in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian media outlets linked to the IRGC, with no official confirmation from the US or Iran. I would imagine this incident scares off any company from trying to sail the Oman route now.

There is a nonzero chance American society collapses into a fit of social rage, extreme poverty, and outright conflict because this fucker cannot act like a normal person and his cult followers love it.

What's probably going on with Mitch is not special. Person has a history of strokes, has a heart attack, needs resuscitation, probably suffers some oxygen restriction to the brain, has cognitive effects from that, needs weeks on ICU, probably doesn't emerge the same. He's really sick not dead.
