Ah yes, the bankers once again tricked a company into pricing too low to ensure that they priced too low. It's quite the trick.

There is really only one kind of country where the Mormons get a decent shake: a pluralistic, tolerant, freedom-centered society. Theocratic, anti-religious, or every other variation results in oppression for us. We cannot play footsie with would-be authoritarians.

Yet another reminder that if the Christian Nationalists ever really seized power in America, the LDS would be up against the wall just like the Jews and the Muslims.

Nick Fuentes says Mormons are not Christian and he's not pro-Mormonism "I think it's all nonsense. I'm totally against that. And Mormons can support us, but I'm not pro-Mormonism in any way. I think it's radical."

We are entering the trough of despair for agentic commerce, where merchants collectively try to press "pause" while they try to figure out what the best move for them is. It won't last. They'll all eventually permit agents in easy-to-use ways.

United is blocking AI agents from booking tickets on its system. CEO Scott Kirby says “I don’t want to create another middleman” But the agents can book using an OTA, which is still a middleman and costs United a little more than the agent going direct! wsj.com/tech/ai/united-airli…

A lemons-to-lemonade story from Quick Quack: 
Jan 9, 2015. A 94-year-old customer hit the gas instead of the brake and flew through the wash at about 40 mph. Everyone walked away. The video now has 24.5 million views. Here's the story behind it. 👇🏽

I think indie rock is kinda a late-90s onward phenomenon, but that's how it hit me anyway.

The price of whey protein is out of control. A 5lb tub of a good brand cost $50-60 in 2020. I just checked and it’s now $150 😵‍💫
