There's some pretty good analysis from Gamer Nexus iirc about some of this stuff. The contradictions are so damn sharp in the tech sphere, it's kind of abysmal how much the hype bubble has yet to significantly pop. That Keynes quote comes to mind about how the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Also Wiley Coyote hanging in the air off the edge of the cliff, but not yet realizing he's about to plummet into the depths.

Trump’s MOU Is an IOU: The Severe US Losses in Its Misbegotten Iran War
Bottom line: If the war accomplished anything, it accelerated the decline of US power, influence, and economic security.

MOU or IOU (hexbear.net)

Is this something?

China's coordinated tech industry is why anyone outside of the international-community-1international-community-2 has any decent tech at this point. The AI boondoggle and the tariffs are only going to make this even more a cemented reality. Soon even western g*mers and tech enthusiasts will be clamoring for China's tech bounty. It's already happening with EVs and car-folk.

This is such a microcosm of capitalism responding to climate change.

“Israel is the Startup Nation, while Texas is the Scale Up State, and together this partnership is another step towards making Texas the Dual-Use Capital of the World. I want to invest in Israeli entrepreneurs and the world-changing technology that they develop,” added Joshua Baer, Founder and CEO of Capital Factory.

One person was killed: Joshua Baer, 50, a leader in Texas’ technology and startup sectors. Three male teenage passengers and two pilots survived, as did a person in a truck struck by the plane as it crashed.

The business jet barreled cockeyed down the dark highway, knocking down one light pole after another, an orange glow of sparks trailing it.

From a distance, Ivan Franco thought it must be a car. But as he approached in his tow truck, he saw it was a plane — broken in half, its fuselage resting on its side, bright fire beginning to rise above. He stopped and rifled through the rescue kit his company keeps in the truck, grabbing a sledgehammer as well as three fire extinguishers, which he handed off to police officers.

“At that moment, you don’t think much about what to do, because I knew the plane could explode since it was on fire,” Franco told The Associated Press in Spanish. “My idea was to try to break the windows because the pilots hadn’t come out yet.”

Franco was one of several motorists who happened across the crash in Laredo, Texas, late Tuesday night and rushed to help — putting their own lives in danger to help those on board escape as smoke filled the cabin.

I guess at least Trump understands the importance of having someone else take the blame. It could all be kayfabe and subterfuge, but the more this kind of things continues to happen, the more believable the schism between US and zionism appears to be.

I hadn't seen this in the mega yet.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has canceled an upcoming trip to the United States after he was required by the US embassy to arrive in person and provide his fingerprints as a condition for receiving a visa, Hebrew media outlets reported Monday.

The unusual move of requiring his fingerprints was apparently due to his criminal convictions. It signaled that Washington was not keen on giving him a visa, according to Channel 12, which first reported the incident.

However, the response failed to address why Ben Gvir ended up not traveling at all, and why he falsely claimed that all Israelis applying for a US visa are required to provide their fingerprints. In fact, Israelis are eligible for a visa waiver under the ESTA program, provided they meet conditions that include not having a criminal record.

these lyrics are amazing

spoiler` On the horizon, the landscape's burning red
Bushfire---smoke in your eyes... smoke in your eyes
If you feel something, that makes you warm all over
If you got a fire and you can't put it out---got a bushfire
Rolling through a field of molten flowers
Burning in a field of molten flowers
There's a bushfire---there's a bushfire burning---yeah

Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!

My mind's been going places without me lately
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground
But I hold back! Get away from the heat
Hold back! In my field of vision
Hold back! Baby burning---fire

Fire in a field of molten flowers,
Fire in a field of molten flowers
There's a bushfire burning---yeah.
You better hold back! Hold back!

Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!

Well I'm movin' to the beat of a big bushfire
I'm dancin' to the beat of a big bushfire
And the flames are warm and getting brighter

Well everybody loves to dance around the heat and fire
Oh lightnin' strike twice
Hey everybody bask in the afterglow---Bushfire
Naked light shining over my bed, been lying here too long
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground

But I hold back---get away from the heat!
Hold back! In my field of vision
Hold back! I see smoke---smoke in your eyes

Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!
The landscape's burning, red hot! `

The opening includes a clear rhetorical construct of how the movement of commodities (freight) is privileged over the movement of people (passengers).

From political economy itself, using its own words, we have shown that the worker sinks to the level of a commodity, and moreover the most wretched commodity of all; that the misery of the worker is in inverse proportion to the power and volume of his production; that the necessary consequence of competition is the accumulation of capital in a few hands and hence the restoration of monopoly in a more terrible form; and that, finally, the distinction between capitalist and landlord, between agricultural worker and industrial worker, disappears and the whole of society must split into the two classes of property owners and propertyless workers.

Found this comment on a post about how China is "doing capitalism better then the west, socialism is achieved through capitalism, etc".

I was expecting some weird takes in the thread, but this was beyond parody.
