If you're seeking an alternative to this place, BlueSky is worth a try; has the feel of the early Twitter days and increasingly the range and numbers of users to make it work.

Larry Kudlow is correct. We were too successful the first year of the Trump administration.

Farage is basically wrong about everything, always. He will end up on exactly the same political scrap heap.

Biggest wave in half a century… and Susan Collins is only losing by 2 points. It took an earthquake to rid us of her.

It's going to be hard to explain to future generations what it was like to be alive during Trumpism. "After shredding the Constitution, taking the country to war, and blowing up his own coalition, he talked about ...caulk? And algae?" "Well, yes. And men's butts."

We optimized a DAX measure ourselves and asked AI to do the same. Neither version was faster on every query. Then AI refined our version: the slowest query went from 4,396 ms to 1,538 ms. It also wrote more equivalence tests than we ever had the patience to write. sqlbi.com/articles/optimizin… #dax #powerbi #ai
Horizontal bar chart titled Query duration by version, in milliseconds, lower is better. Four versions for each query: Baseline, Human version, Independent AI, AI refinement. 2025 total: 1,244, 354, 340, 236. By month: 998, 866, 705, 775. Month by country: 1,166, 891, 715, 730. Month by category: 2,710, 1,678, 1,345, 1,299. All-history total: 4,396, 2,594, 3,910, 1,538. Bold marks the fastest version for each query.

I said (at length, in a book), Trump's base is full of people who are bored, resentful, angry about the outcome of their own lives. They were happy to punish others for that - until they realized Trump hates *them*, too. They didn't see it until gas got expensive, but... okay 🤷‍♂️

UPDATE: Finland is now also reporting disruptions to supermarket refrigeration systems. Temporary temperature irregularities were detected overnight in some K Group stores. The incidents appear to be on a smaller scale, with the cause still under investigation. Finland now joins seven other European countries reporting similar incidents this morning. The situation continues to develop, and further reports from other European countries cannot be ruled out.

There’s a tonne of early voting numbers out there- but this, for me, is by far the most revealing. Aligns with what we’re hearing from the ground in Texas with both campaigns. Huge Hispanic turnout, driven, it seems, by ICE.

There are now 642k Texans who have early voted who did not vote at all in the 2024 Presidential election. 48% of them (310,997) are Hispanic. And 39% (122,461) of those Hispanic surge voters are under the age of 30.

Living one hour north of Manhattan means that sometimes coyotes stalk your home. They may plan to devour your puppies. This is frontier country. Many don’t know this. Six years ago, an eagle snatched a snickerdoodle from a backyard. People don’t comprehend.

31 Oct 1993 - at the end of one of the deadliest weeks in The Troubles - UDA gunmen entered the Rising Sun bar in Greysteel & murdered seven people. Another man died later. A gunman shouted "trick or treat" before opening fire. Families of the victims would help pull NI back from the brink.
