Sam Altman thinks RAM sitting in personal computers is a waste when it could be put to better use in data centers.
Weird. I was just thinking that all those billions sitting in billionaires’ bank accounts could be put to much better use in our communities.

FC Augsburg believes it's quite terrible to have 17 other Bundesliga clubs sitting on a bunch of the league's limited supply of points.

Capitalism is apparently the most efficient allocation mechanism ever invented, provided you ignore empty houses, homeless people, destroyed food, planned obsolescence, medical bankruptcies, wage theft, monopolies, pollution, bullshit jobs, and periodic financial catastrophes.

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund has been unmasked as the force behind the fake Texas Transgender Student Union (TTSU). This Wyoming LLC, formed in September, flooded as many as 3 million Texas mailboxes and phones with texts and brochures just as early voting began for the midterms.
Posing as a trans advocacy outfit, the materials—addressed to the children of registered voters—coached minors on seeking gender-affirming care even against parents’ wishes, pursuing emancipation, going out-of-state for hormones or surgery, and finding a “found family.” They copied branding from the real Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and used a near-identical address.
Legal filings named the Republican Women’s Caucus and “John Braun”—the name of a Washington state senator whose campaign treasurer, Paul Kilgore, also handles finances for the RWC Fund and PACs supporting Ken Paxton’s Senate bid against Democrat James Talarico. TTSU’s lawyer is former Paxton assistant AG Chris Hilton.
TENT sued, claiming harassment, threats, and operational harm. Judge Jan Soifer ordered disclosure, rejecting free-speech secrecy claims.
So, a Republican-linked group, with financial ties to Paxton-supporting PACs, mass-produced and distributed materials that impersonated a transgender student resource guide. In other words, the people who routinely accuse the transgender community of “indoctrinating” or targeting children, themselves produced and mailed the very content designed to look like that targeting—so parents would see it and react.
Every Republican accusation is a confession.

So there we have it. Segal's new report openly accuses progressives of being the main vector of antisemitism in society. The corollary: the left and its calls for justice and equality must be defeated.

I'm just glad I don't live in a dictatorship but a free democracy where every few years I can vote for a different banker or lawyer or landlord that represents the vast network of powerful corporate interests that controls every aspect of my life from cradle to grave

You live at the center of a global military empire with ~1,000 overseas bases, strangling countries w/ sanctions, coups & war for refusing to submit to US dictates. Thinking Americans shouldn’t care about elections abroad is brain dead imperial chauvinism

It feels so fucking good to see Brazil beat back US imperialism and tech oligarchy after the staggering crimes these parasites have committed against humanity and the planet. And students are winning in Serbia and France! The tide is turning :)

🇷🇸 “We owe our viewers an apology.”
A day after Serbia’s student-led movement defeated Aleksandar Vučić’s ruling party in a historic election, regional public broadcaster Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened Monday’s evening news with an extraordinary admission.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology,” anchor Goran Eror said, reading a statement from RTV employees.
The broadcaster acknowledged years of one-sided, uncritical reporting. The editor-in-chief of its main television channel resigned the same day.

The fact that financial markets are reacting poorly to Lula’s victory is a sure sign that markets are not some amorphous intelligence but simply a bunch of right wing traders who follow the herd. We forget that at our peril.

Recomiendo profundamente este artículo que, además de bien escrito, sintetiza lecciones muy interesantes. No tiene desperdicio:
"La izquierda brasileña tardó años en entender una verdad incómoda: no se puede ganar una pelea callejera en internet con maneras de profesor universitario. Durante demasiado tiempo, el Partido de los Trabajadores reaccionó a la guerra sucia digital como si estuviera redactando una tesis doctoral. Cuando la maquinaria de la ultraderecha soltaba a primera hora de la mañana un bulo incendiario sobre el cierre de iglesias o la destrucción de la familia, la cúpula del partido convocaba reuniones interminables, consultaba a sus abogados y publicaba, ya de noche, un comunicado infumable de tres páginas en un lenguaje que no entendía nadie fuera de la sede. Para entonces, la mentira ya había entrado en los teléfonos de quince millones de familias y moldeado el pánico de medio país.
La campaña de Lula se dio de bruces contra la realidad de las pantallas. En el fango de TikTok y WhatsApp, los desmentidos solemnes y los sellos de las agencias de verificación no conmueven a casi nadie; son munición de fogueo frente a un misil emocional. Si querían frenar la sangría, había que dejar de dar lecciones morales desde un púlpito y empezar a jugar con las mismas reglas que rigen internet: velocidad salvaje, humor descarado y cero burocracia"

The entire Financial Times editorial board has published a piece urging Lula to cut government spending and appoint a finance minister who enjoys the confidence of investors.
I get the impression that the FT editorial board has never opened an economics book other than some outdated introductory macroeconomics textbook, perhaps something by Mankiw. Otherwise, it's hard to explain such astonishing arrogance and economic ignorance.
Lula and the Brazilian people have absolutely no reason to bow to the demands of financial markets. Brazil is Latin America's largest economy, a major regional power, and a country with a high degree of monetary sovereignty. Around 97% of the central government's debt is denominated in its own currency, the Brazilian real.
The relationship between the state and financial markets is therefore nothing like the FT portrays it. Brazil is not dependent on financial markets. On the contrary, financial markets depend on government spending, which creates financial assets for the private sector, while government debt denominated in the national currency is one of the instruments through which those assets are held.
What Brazil needs is not capitulation to financial markets, but an independent economic policy focused on expanding production, creating jobs, and improving people's living standards.
Armed with the insights of heterodox economic theory, Brazil has the potential to show the world what a genuine economic miracle looks like. ft.com/content/79785581-88c2…

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10…
