Visiting family right now…my academic brother is despairing that Tory MPs are placing bets on how many seats they’ll lose as “Britain needs effective opposition” once Labour win otherwise “the extreme left or right will get power”. He also cited the lack of “effective opposition” as what led to “Britain being destroyed” by the Tories.

For someone that is a scientist and entirely defines his identity by his career, it’s kind of funny how little he understands long term trends or that having an effective right wing party is a bad thing.

My man is so checked out, it’s obvious he just wants to go back to running a hedge fund in Malibu so badly

Lmao the Israeli foreign minister is called “Israel Katz”

Zero Wing ass name, embarrassing “nation”

Ladies, start your engines

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has contracted the woke mind virus

It reminds me of how normal silly sports cars just use parts bin items for stuff like this - the McLaren F1 uses the tail lights from a Bova Futura bus for fuck’s sake:

They work fine and the car is still ridiculous

As someone that would like to learn more about cigars but is put off by the chuds surrounding them, it makes me happy to see folks posting about them on Hexbear

Starmer accuses Sunak of ‘Jeremy Corbyn-style’ manifesto

Absolutely fucking rent free in Keith’s head. The Corbyn manifestos were fully costed and Keith der Sturmer stood on them as a member of the shadow cabinet.

Can’t wait for the look on his face when the press turns on him.

I generally have a decent amount of coffee each day - the difference with this is the energy just doesn’t wear off. I wake up at 6am, and rather than snoozing for an hour I’d ready to go. Utterly wild.

It’s probably for the best that my prescription ended today, because I can see how being this powered up I am all the time will just destroy my body in due course!

I’ve had a bad cold that I was prescribed prednisone for, and holy shit, I’ve never had so much energy. I know steroids are very bad long term, but I feel fucking incredible.

As someone that is overweight and horribly out of shape (bad habits from peak Covid and also becoming a dad and having no time) - can I even get to like a fraction of this increased energy if I succeeded in building an exercise habit? Or is this just an unrealistic and unsustainable side effect, and being middle aged is just a gradual decline into feeling physically horrible

enjoy my $2000 check man, don’t spend it all at once

Energy vampire motherfucker

• The avg stock & median stock are down 20% & 15% respectively off their 5Y trailing highs. YET the index sits at the high!
• NVDA’s weight in the S&P 500 is now 6.5%

Am I right in surmising that once the AI bubble pops and NVDA completes its Cisco cycle, 401ks are going to go buhbye

My boss is giving a talk at an upcoming prestigious software leadership conference and their slides are literally screenshots of all the planning work I did for a project 2 years ago

The petit-bourgeois, folks! They keep getting away with it! Very bad, very dishonest!

This is totally projection, but my little one’s current thing is to make little houses for her toy figurines out of magnatiles…she’s literally providing them with free housing and ensuring they’re well furnished…”Neal needs a house, I’m going to make it for him”
