Even ignoring the dingos of the rw echoes-phere & corporate #media click bait ladies of the night, doesn't mean there’s not a problem. B/c there is, it’s a major & it’s one some of us have been screaming about for yrs"

"Trump & Thune About to Rip Away #Health Care & Whig-ify the #GOP Jan 1 - https://www.blueamp.co/p/trump-and-thune-about-to-rip-away

"There are certainly no lack of examples of their glib dishonesty and putrid amorality. But one that perfectly sums up the Jonestown GOP Caucus is their nonchalance at allowing enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the only way millions of Americans can afford healthcare, to just disappear. Like Mike Johnson’s testicles when #Trump enters the room"

I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement

"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.

It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"

I feel like most of Trump's statements regarding the attack on Iran should be read as market manipulation.

#US #USPol #Iran #economy

The official statistics of the Central Bank of Iran show; The inflation rate in the 12 months ending in July 2026 compared to the 12 months ending in July 2025 is equal to 61.4%.

Wag the Dog, #Venezuela: #Democrats Must Relentlessly Expose #Trump

Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes

But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

Trump’s Canada Tariffs Decimate Border Crossings, Business in Upper Michigan
---

Under an intensifying trade war, parts of northern Michigan are feeling the financial pain. But with a president intent on conflict and a congressman silent on the issue, these Michiganders see no sign of relief.

Again & again since #Trump returned to the White House, #SCOTUS’ conservative majority has blessed his boundary-pushing policies….

But on Wednesday, the justices will consider for the first time whether to say “no” to Trump….

At issue is the legality of his…use of emergency powers to impose sweeping #tariffs on nearly every US trading partner. The outcome of the case could significantly affect the global #economy….

In a drastic reversal, Trump has gone from embracing “the opportunity to build even more bridges” with Canada in 2017 to threatening to stop the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge until Canada “treats the U.S. with … Fairness and Respect.”

We present the first representative international data on firm-level AI use. We survey almost 6000 CFOs, CEOs and executives from stratified firm samples across the US, UK, Germany and Australia. We find four key facts. First, around 70% of firms actively use AI, particularly younger, more productive firms. Second, while over two thirds of top executives regularly use AI, their average use is only 1.5 hours a week, with one quarter reporting no AI use. Third, firms report little impact of AI over the last 3 years, with over 80% of firms reporting no impact on either employment or productivity. Fourth, firms predict sizable impacts over the next 3 years, forecasting AI will boost productivity by 1.4%, increase output by 0.8% and cut employment by 0.7%. We also survey individual employees who predict a 0.5% increase in employment in the next 3 years as a result of AI. This contrast implies a sizable gap in expectations, with senior executives predicting reductions in employment from AI and employees predicting net job creation.

China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months.

* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor

It’s very likely that China’s co2 emissions have peaked. Years ahead of schedule!

The largest industrial power in human history has decoupled development from carbon emissions. It's the climate story of the century.

The whole LLM as a service business model has a fundamental flaw to it. The cost of operating the data centres is an order of magnitude higher than the profit.

But if models get efficient enough to bring the costs down, then they become efficient enough to run locally. So, either it’s too expensive to operate, or nobody will want to use it as a service because running your own gives you privacy and flexibility.

The fact that investors don't get this is frankly incredible.
