honestly, I'm not sold on the idea that he's "pivoting." I think a lot of people thought he would be socialist Santa and practice some perfect form of lab grown leftist politics, but he's working within the system.

To me, it's pretty obvious that his opening gambits exist to disarm the most vengeful narcissists who could interfere with his agenda. Hochul, Trump, Jeffries.

If he shuts them up, he has a lot more room to do what he needs to do. If he doesn't shut them up or is openly hostile, they're going to kneecap him at every turn.
he's keeping Tisch because Hochul and Trump wanted Tisch -- in fact, made her a dealbreaker -- and they were likely to make his life hell if he didn't keep her on. So he has to think of the other 8 million people he's not responsible for, and decide what's more important. I think it's a mistake to see this as coalition building with centrists. It's more that he's throwing them a bone to shut them up so he can do his work.
There seem to be a lot of people who think that power is structural. That once you have a title, you can go around giving orders and demanding things. That's not how power works. Zohran seems to be taking the approach that power works also from moral authority, which is something he can only get through results, not just by occupying the mayor's office.

Just let him cook. He's not even Mayor yet and he's already gotten Trump off of New York's back, which is more than dozens of other cities have managed to do. Just pause, reflect and respect that there's a longer timeline here.

Burry is the investor who correctly called the housing crisis (The Big Short was about him.)

To explain what Burry is saying here:

When companies announce earnings, they do not just announce revenues or profits.

They also have to subtract the depreciation and amortization of their assets -- meaning, what they own that has lost value over the previous 3 months or year because it's old or outdated.

Burry is saying that tech companies are making their earnings look bigger by refusing to subtract the depreciation of their assets correctly.

For instance, the chips used in AI are good for about two (2) years. Then, inevitably, they lose value because faster chips get invented.

The way tech giants are accounting for their giant chip purchases, they're saying that those chips will last double or triple the time -- four years, or even 6 years according the chart below.

This means the tech giants are subtracting less risk from ageing chips to make it look like they're keeping more of their revenues over time. That misstates their financial position and misleads investors.

It's a big allegation because these companies are spending *billions of dollars* on these chips.
The debate has started:
And here's what's at stake:

This is true and you can see it writ large in much of the DC press corps: They align with establishment power for status and safety and think it's tragically funny that anyone else would refuse to do so out of mere personal disinclination. It's a calculation. I think a lot of them grew up around authoritarian figures where aligning with power was the only way to thrive and they see the "suffering" (poverty, lack of promotions, lack of status) among those who refuse to align with power as confirmation that breaking with the status quo is personally dangerous.
What they cannot conceive of is someone who is "successful" (as defined in shallow ways) who has also broken with establishment thinking. This fries their brains entirely.
I personally think (as someone who has spent nearly my entire education and career in prestigious institutions) that the dumbest thing you can do is align with power because power is rarely legitimate and has a very dark shadow, which makes it unstable and prone to toppling, either with time or scandal. Ergo the moral disgrace of everyone who hyped the Obama and Biden Administrations (to say nothing of those who hyped Trump and Bush).

My theory is that they were both running brothels and essentially this was a fight between pimps
I think Trump also bought pageants to collude with modeling agencies in pushing young beauty queens/models to supplement their income with sex work
This is just a theory. But I think Trump met Epstein, saw that being a pimp to the rich and famous was profitable, and started his own sex work business by laundering it through pageants. And that's why he was mad that Epstein "stole" Giuffre, not as a "spa employee" but as a rival pimp stealing a sex worker.

Can someone compile a thread of every liberal now denouncing the famine with their previous tweets and statements full of bloodlust for the genocide?
I would do it but I have all the liberals and the pro-genocide people blocked
A few I've seen: Thread of tweets calling liberals out for denouncing Israel's famine in Gaza after spending months or years defending Israel, the genocide, or both

To everyone asking how all these celebs are "Benjamin Buttoning":

1. Deep plane face lifts (they pull the muscle up, instead of the skin)

2. Fat replacement with a fat matrix donated from corpses (true story)
The corpse-fat is an injectable called Renuva and it basically provides the scaffolding to hold fat under the skin for years, plumping up undereye hollows, temples, etc. That's why the celebs look younger as well as lifted.

The bigger problem is why Xtina asked for Claudia Schiffer's face instead of her own, but considering that Bella asked for Carla Bruni's face all those years ago, that doppelganger ship has sailed
