This story about a potential $5 billion economic development project being blocked by a functional midwit backed by Chinese money is the perfect metaphor for America's utterly insane society today. Incredible.

What I find so amusing about this is that when I was a teacher, a group of Black students could be misbehaving in the hall, and when I told them to get to class, they’d hit me with, “Dis muh f*cka honky-ass cracka be doing the most, boy!” I’d be lucky if the administration gave them so much as a verbal warning.
Then you have some drunk girls making monkey noises at a door in the middle of the night- with no evidence they even knew the residents were Black- and they’re getting raked over the coals in the national media for something that should’ve been, at most, a sit-down with the dean.
This is what people hate. It feels like we have two sets of rules for conduct in this country. One for white people and one for black people.
If you’re white and do anything perceived as even slightly racist, people line up to ruin your life. If you’re Black and get held responsible for hurting a white person, people line up to donate to your GoFundMe.
Black Ole Miss students say they immediately confronted classmates who made monkey noises - and one kept doing it trib.al/kZiVuiW

I believe the comparison of YouTube watch time to Netflix is misleading investors.
Consider a few examples: This "Chill lofi mix" is almost 2 hours long (length of a movie) has 35 *million* views in just four years. And this is one of hundreds of these types of videos.
People throw these up on their computer monitor as they're working, studying, working out, doing laundry. It sits in the background and adds some ambiance while they're actively working on something else.
In fact it's become a modern trend to throw up one of these videos on a TV in your room, living room, to set a 'vibe'. You could let it play for 8-10 hours a day, non stop, as background ambiance. (I know people personally who do this).
YouTube counts every hour of this as an engaged hour that is directly related and calculated the same as a Netflix viewer watching East Of Eden.
You realize the issue here, right? Well, it goes further than that. People use YouTube constantly as a substitute music-player. One of the most common use cases is to find a music playlist and play it right from youtube.
3rd party firms have estimated that 30-40% of YouTube's total watch time is from music alone. Netflix does not even compete in Music, yet this isn't broken out by YouTube because it paints a much better story to portray them as dominating the TV.
All this stuff like music and background videos contributes to their engagement numbers but it's fundamentally different than the type of content Netflix produces. This is why I believe many investors in Netflix are being misled.

Imagine, you are shopping at Home Depot, 2 homeless men, and a juvenile begin harassing you and start a fight.
It's 3 on 1 so you grab a weapon to defend yourself, all of sudden Karen the 5 foot nothing cop shows up, tases your ass, and then you get the shit kicked out of you by the men you were trying to defend yourself against.
All because Karen 5 foot, had no fucking idea what was going on, and decided to tase you while letting 3 homeless nothings beat on you.
That is what happened to this guy.
NO WOMEN COPS.

$ANT IPO at $1.4T valuation is now multiple times oversubscribed.
After trying to raise $57.8–64.4B… pushing total Anthropic IPO funding closer to $100B.
I guess the pool of capital is infinity in America if you can cure cancer with AI in 5–10 years?

I love how J.K. Rowling is liberal by virtually every conventional measure.
She created a cultural phenomenon beloved by billions across generations.
But because she disagrees with the left on ONE issue, she’s portrayed worse than Hitler.
It’s absurd.
People need to grow up.
You don’t have to agree with someone on everything. Disagreement isn’t hatred. Having a different opinion doesn’t make someone evil.
If your idea of tolerance only extends to people who agree with you, you’re not tolerant. You’re just self-righteous.

Inflation is lifting off and rate hikes have been the hidden driving force that no one is talking about:

.@JeffBezos: The bottom half of income earners in the US pay 3% of the taxes. It should be 0%.
"It's absurd we do this."
"Why is a nurse in Queens making $75k/year paying 1k/mo in taxes?"
"We shouldn't be asking this nurse to send money to Washington. They should be sending her an apology."
In May, Jeff Bezos told CNBC the bottom half of earners should pay zero income tax
Mercor CEO @BrendanFoody says Bezos is right:
“The largest positive externality in the economy is creating jobs. & the largest way that the government collects tax revenue is by taxing jobs.”
“The fact that we do this for the bottom half of Americans that are making under 70K a year is so deeply irrational.”
“The bottom half of Americans constitute 3% of federal government tax revenue, & yet it’s a giant burden on them.”
“Then I saw my hero, Jeff Bezos, posting about this on X. & so I retweeted him, & then he reposted me.”
I can't stand debates where people appeal to emotion with charged language like "theft" or "fascist". It's such a slimy debate tactic.
Shocker
LANTERNS has reportedly not been renewed for a Season 2.
A studio insider suggests the show "isn't quite capturing the zeitgeist."

Higher rates mean higher cost of doing business, but higher rates also mean a massive fiscal add to support the higher cost.
We are now in the early innings of a rate induced inflationary cycle. At this point, hikes are acting pro-cyclically, not counter.

Can't wait for the inevitable heatwave deaths after the grid collapses due to ERCOT not being able to afford maintenance because they're literally forced to sell electricity at a loss.

Hasan Piker is irrelevant now. Lawmakers have rebuked him, decent candidates won’t campaign with him, and even the pod bros stopped inviting him to their conferences. The work here is done. He is blocked.

LA voters fired Karen Bass for her DISASTER on the wildfires, homelessness and crime. Now they've got someone even WORSE.
On the LA City Council, Nithya Raman voted against moving homeless encampments away from schools. Even Bass got that one right!
This is what happens when extreme politicians put ideology ahead of common sense.

Why Nvidia is continuing to take a further hit today...
- The Information reported that a network linked to Alice Huang allegedly facilitated at least $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to Chinese companies, involving roughly 240,000 AI chips, including models restricted from sale in China. This would basically mean Nvidia has sold to China when they weren't supposed to.
- Bloomberg reported that Nvidia's inventory figures provided to U.S. authorities undercounted approximately 50,000 AI chips worth billions of dollars sold to Megaspeed through hardware partners. Nvidia later claimed the hardware was located at additional warehouses but did not provide a detailed accounting. Basically, if those 50K chips aren't accounted for...could they have gone to China?
Both those headlines broke over the past 24 hours as Nvidia is now at a $4.02T marketcap, losing over $1T in value over the past month.
