The President of the United States is a Russian asset.His role is - if not to do everything Putin wants -:
1. To weaken the USA economically
2. To weaken the USA militarily
3. To weaken the USA geopolitically.
It’s the opposite of Make America Great Again.

Yes congratulations! I expect more late night/early morning posting from you!Thanks TSECongratulations to you and your wife on your truly joyous news.@PpollingNumbersGiven Vance is VP he will be favourite for the GOP nomination but will need Musk's money too, ideologically Musk is now closer to Vance than Trump.
Elon Musk is reportedly considering supporting JD Vance for a potential 2028 presidential run.
Problem for Vance is while he is more intelligent than Trump he is less charismatic

Problem for Vance is that Musk is considerably more unpopular than he is.@PpollingNumbersGiven Vance is VP he will be favourite for the GOP nomination but will need Musk's money too, ideologically Musk is now closer to Vance than Trump.

It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes
It's not AI winter just yet, though there is a distinct chill in the air. Meta is shaking up and downsizing its artificial intelligence division. A new report out of MIT finds that 95 percent of companies' generative AI programs have failed to earn any profit whatsoever. Tech stocks tanked Tuesday, regarding broader fears that this bubble may have swelled about as large as it can go. Surely, there will be no wider repercussions for normal people if and when Nvidia, currently propping up the market like a load-bearing matchstick, finally runs out of fake companies to sell chips to. But getting in under the wire, before we're all bartering gas in the desert and people who can read become the priestly caste, is Microsoft, with the single most "Who asked for this?" application of AI I've seen yet: They're jamming it into Excel.

Funding, the ECB consider the Hundred a success because they've flogged the franchises off for hundreds of millions of pounds.I don't understand the problem that the Hundred is meant to solve that 20:20 doesn’t.Prompted by this post, I've been to have a look at tge BBC cricket page and just found something else to vex me about the Hundred: in the scores and tables, they appear to have dropped any attempt to link teams with places: instead, teams are just reported as 'Fire', 'Spirit', 'Originals', amd so on. Now of course, I find 'Welsh', 'Southern' and 'Trent' daft. ("Who are we playing Dad?" "Southern"). But less daft than nothing at all.Welsh Fire are having a mare at the Hundred. The men's team has won just one march and the women have lost all of theirs.I'm a cricket fan, I don't care.
Hundred: Your teams are Lancashire, Yorkshire, Nottingamshire, Warwickshire, Glamorgan, Hampshire, Surrey and Middlesex.
And you are missing ten teams.
And a ball each over.
I mentioned last week I am attending a match as a guest of somebody involved buying the franchises next week.
Re: Putin found out the hard way that Trump is odious – politicalbetting.com
TSE: had Mike Smithson and you met in person when he first asked you to be a guest editor? Just curious.Yes and no.
We'd be in regular communication for about a year, as I used to send him articles from The Times as at the time they used Populus for their polls and he really rated Populus (plus on Saturday night I'd send him the polls from the daily YouGov).
I then sent him my thoughts on why I thought Chris Huhne had committed perjury based on articles in The Times.
OGH rang me en March 2012 and said he was going on holiday in May/June and he'd like me to edit PB.
We met up a few weeks later before I took the hot seat.
So it's all thanks to Chris Huhne and Rupert Murdoch taking The Times behind a paywall that got me the job.
Edit The Times also used to commission Ipsos polls on Scotland which I also shared with OGH as we both knew the Indyref would be an epic betting market.

Newsom's social media strategy/opposition to Trump is working.
He's gained millions of social media followers. Google searches for him are up like a rocket.
He's now the frontrunner for the 2028 Dem nomination per the prediction markets.
It's cause Democrats want a fighter.
