"Trade lawyers have expressed concerns for months that the Trump administration’s plan for refunds would place too much of the burden on importers to act, and that many small businesses wouldn’t have the financial resources or expertise to file claims in the new portal or to sue in court" bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

If your investigation finds everybody is virtually as guilty as everyone else, then it wasn't really an investigation, but rather a pretense.

"Late Kakistocracy" is that phase of democratic decline where the regime starts running out of ppl who will work for it, and so the folks who aren't qualified for their current positions are promoted to even larger positions for which they are even more unqualified

@pulte Isn’t it bizarre that no media has asked Bill Pulte how he’s allowed to regulate an industry in which his family business participates?

Is it just me or does this sound uncannily like logistics/freight?

Why things will eventually fall apart: 1. Everybody, even Google, seems to be treating AI as if it were some kind of winner take all competition like web search was, in which Google taking over 95% 2. But everybody is building essentially the same technical solution with

I've raised $712 quadrillion in Series PPP funding at a $9.8 gajillion post-money valuation, led by my neighbors, my Gofundme and, most importantly, my mom. This investment will help me advance my research into finding the best chaat on Earth (and potentially other planets).

I think we're finding out that Katie Miller may actually be worse than her husband? How is this even possible?

The great thing about @benthompson is that he’s never afraid to tell it like it is amid all the banker and insider propaganda. “In all seriousness, the numbers are obviously absurd, but then again, everything about this IPO is absurd. SpaceX is seeking a $2 trillion valuation on a mere $18.67 billion in revenue with $4.9 billion in losses last year, and growth actually slowed from 35% to 33%. That slowdown happened despite the addition of xAI (and thus also X), which tipped the company from a small profit to that massive loss, thanks to $5.1 billion in AI R&D expense. That R&D, keep in mind, went towards building a model that is in 5th place, and whose entire founding team recently left the company. But sure, $26.5 trillion AI opportunity!”

The SpaceX IPO and Data Centers in Space There isn't a financial model that justifies the SpaceX IPO, but data centers in space are plausible, and that might be enough. stratechery.com/2026/the-space…

I’m mean this sincerely: stop with the “I’m in this city and this is why it sucks” trash. Just keep it to yourself. Tweeting about it fixes nothing you think needs fixing. It just makes you look bad.

The people we have elected - and the people they have appointed - have lost all sense of what it is to be a good person. How are the expletive-filled insults lobbed on this app by people we pay to represent us at all acceptable?
