Deleting these but posting the screenshot to keep myself accountable. Chamath confirmed short. The universe will not let him publicly win. If a biblical dump is coming it won’t be today. Trump sounded defeated & admitted Iran may have been why he lost. We may need to price some % chance the conflict is resolved.

If the R’s get destroyed it will be because of yet another war in the middle east. People are beyond tired of those. The GWOT generation hates it.
People forget what 2018 and 2020 were like. Bad GOP years.
In 2018 we were in the depths of Russiagate and the investigations into the President. Democrats were completely unified in their effort to stop Trump. Republicans were still massively divided. Women's marches were everywhere. Protests in DC nonstop. Democrats were activated, mobilized, and Trump was completely hamstrung.
We came in with 53 Senate seats and held on to 51. We flipped Florida - Rick Scott defeated an incumbent Bill Nelson, and DeSantis won. We flipped Missouri and Indiana, too.
In 2020 we were in the depths of COVID and peak BLM hysteria. Democrats were again incredibly activated. Mass protests everywhere. Polls were projecting a complete wipeout, and the President losing to Biden by 10+. Trump only lost the popular vote by about 4.5 points. Dems just barely held the Senate, getting only to 50 seats.
What, exactly, is happening in 2026 that is driving the GOP to the worst performance since Watergate? Gas being $4.00 a gallon instead of $3.00 a gallon?
I mean yeah, it's a midterm and inflation is too high. Ok. Democrats have problems EVERYWHERE, unlike anything they had in previous years. They had a rapist with the Nazi tattoo win the primary in Maine, and were forced to replace him at the last minute with the guy who came in 4th in their gubernatorial primary. Their candidate in Michigan is so repellent that his primary opponent - who got 47% of the primary vote - has endorsed the Republican. Their candidate in Alaska is likely going to face criminal charges for conspiring to defraud Alaskans of the right to vote for the candidate of their choice. Democrats everywhere are bickering and fighting. And where are the Iran War protests? Oh right they aren't happening. The "No Kings" protests are anemic.
Meanwhile, Republicans have never been more institutionally behind President Trump. He's still doing rallies everywhere and pulling big audiences.
That's going to lead to a D+13 environment - something we haven't seen since Watergate?
Sorry I just don't believe you. It's 2026, normal people have been ignoring polls for a decade now and aren't picking up the phone for Nate Cohn.
D+4, and Susan Collins and Mike Rogers defy the tide and win too because the Democrat candidates are historically bad.
No @colossal. Bad.

I've noticed that I never see people say "that money could have been used to feed people" whenever Disney spends half a billion dollars on a Marvel movie.

The U.S. Space Force activated Space Forces Special Operations (SPACEFOR-SOC) on the 7th, establishing its ninth component command.

So you basically want to regulate all potential competitors so that only you are capable of meeting the new standard, huh?
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

Ancient Roman couples had one rule before every difficult conversation.
Modern psychology has no equivalent. Divorce rates were below 5%.
Then the rule disappeared. And everything changed...

hamilton wrote 51 op-eds in under a year on a shared burner account to win one policy argument, then died in a beef that escalated from remarks printed in a newspaper. the most influential poster in american history simply could not log off, and the constitution is the result
