SpaceX, OpenAI Potential Blockbuster IPOs Lure Investors Into Murky Deals Buyers are joining special purpose vehicles to get a piece of the hottest companies before they go public. Sometimes the funds don’t actually own any shares.

Wall Street loves Elon Musk because he creates massive thundering herds of clueless investors, whose weakest and most confused members are easily preyed upon.

Interesting look at the SPVs that are scalping investors trying to get SpaceX exposure ahead of the IPO

He reminds me of what I've read of Anthony Comstock. Gleefully cruel.

Iran’s Control of Hormuz Means It’s Exporting More Oil Today Than Before the War Tehran is letting ships carrying its crude pass through the strait, while it scares off others that would dare.

An amazing stat:

Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.

It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

I'm on episode three and damn. This is an incredible piece of journalism, reflection, and examination of things we take for granted.

Since I had the Grammarly account for a bit anyway, I ran a couple of paragraphs from my blog through it, and my god this is a machine to smash every last bit of life out of your prose. Original then the Grammarly "improvement" cc: @biblioracle.bsky.social

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

"Only F1, the Brad Pitt-starring, Apple-funded blockbuster about the billion-dollar racing industry, cost more to produce and market than Noem's 60-second warning about "consequences" for illegal immigration."

The bill was amended significantly in the House, and it still needs to go back through the Senate and be approved over the next 53 hours.

Senate Bill 6346, "establishing a tax on millionaires", just passed the Washington House on a 51-46 vote after more than 24 hours of floor debate.

Iran war highlights local news decline and necessity Unlike previous Middle East wars, the Iran war is occurring as America has fewer sources of trusted news and journalists reporting on what's happening overseas.

"With fewer trusted and local news sources, disagreements will be harder to overcome, the shared sacrifice and contributions may be less widely understood and our vulnerability to being misled will be far greater," columnist Brier Dudley writes for The Seattle times.

This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like.

We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesn’t buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.
