My mom passed last night. Her wife died around New Year's and she went into a fast decline in the past couple of weeks. She was 82 and I wasn't ready- I was fully prepared for her to live well into her 90s like her parents.
I agree with you. We're seeing the "Good Money After Bad" stage of the bubble-pop. The "sunk costs" fallacy.
This is best understood by people who drive a shitty car. You don't have enough money right now to buy a new, or newer used, car. Your shitty car needs brakes, will need a water pump/timing belt, shocks, maybe wheel bearings. It's worth maybe $5000 optimistically as a trade-in and needs more than that much in work done.
So, at what point do you throw in the towel, ditch the car, ride the bus for a time while saving up enough money to buy a better car?
If you're like me when I was Broke As A Joke, you drive the shitty car until the day it just dies on the side of the road. Then you hitch-hike home, ride the bus for a while, until you can afford a payment on a better car. Which in purely financial terms, is the wrong answer. But those are the available options if you don't have money.
This is some really good agitprop. The AI companies can't win on the technology, so the spin is "AI forward" companies grow faster. Until they see the bill. The movement to embed "AI" so it is a permanent part of corporate America continues apace.

Heard a thing on the radio yesterday, UK people ticktoking or whatever about their visit to the USAmerica for the footing ball games. One fellow went to Texas and told his following cult or whatever they call it how hot it was. He was very funny! He was all no, you can eat the air, it is like 35 degrees!
Course then the radio people had to pause to discuss C vs F cause murrica fuck yeah. But I digress.
Course Europe is going through a wicked heat wave right now and unlike the US, everyone doesn't have AC, France especially had quite a few fatalities related to the heat :( Think as the global temps continue to rise and humanity, as a whole, does bupkiss about it, everyone is going to need AC.

Well, back out into the heat. Got my sunscreen on, got my water, time for the ~15-20 minute walk to the metro. Fucking heat domes. Feel really bad for the midwest, they're getting hit later when our heat dome and the one over TX merge on top of them...
I fixed it yesterday so I could be inside for the next few days.

I am so sorry for your loss. Of course you weren't ready to lose your beloved mom, especially so soon after her wife passed.
Much love to you, and please let us know if there's anything we can do to help--share some stories when you feel ready.

I say it's already popped. And is already taking down the global economy.
The moment the bros groused that people were thinking about them too negatively, that was the prick that let the air out.

Stop watering the fucking golf courses.
Can't argue with that.
I was reading the other day how some AI thing either is, or wants to, hoover up some colorado river water
But nixxing golf courses would be a start. As would nixxing open air swimming pools, cash crops, and a few other water hogging things.
These FACTS are also another weapon in the "no data centers" movement. We can't eat without water. We can eat without "AI" or golf courses.
"Live" is a good verb to use there, too.

Climate refugees are going to be a thing. I may not be around to see it but my little state could double in population in the next 30-40 years.
Which is weird because one coworker just retired to Florida and one is thinking of moving there.
Give em a few years
We had a couple retirees move down to florida. They have since moved on back (one took 5 years, the other 3).
Our winters really are not that bad anymore I guess XD
I'm terrified I cant handle "northern" winters, but Texas will run out of water... I guess I'll take my chances.
Snow melts
you get used to em, really. Though mind, I do not regret how we moved to virginia XD We do get some cold days, but it is generally like.,...a week or two. Unlike in Iowa where it was more October to may
Since AC just moves the heat to outside, I wonder if it has measurable effects on local climate.

Objectively true.
I'd like to see Kalshi explain their business model in a court filing, what with candor to the court and all that..
they are not prediction markets, the press.
They are GAMBLING SITES
Goddamn it
Every time I see "Kalshi" I can't help but think of the cereal "Kashi". It adds some more absurdity to the absurd to think of a cereal brand suing a state over a tax on prediction markets. "Prediction markets" is a fancy was of saying "bookies".
States rights! Except for those!
I wouldn't bet against Illinois.

Hotter than dog's breath. Bleah.

Don't ask, don't tell! I just want to work from home the rest of the week!

That sounds not very law-y to me! It's an all or nothing game, kids, you can't cherry pick whom may be shit canned without cause.
Once they figured out that, in a functional democracy, their plans were doomed, tactics changed...
Yes, "you" can't cherry pick. But THEY can.
Because they can, and because fuck you all, you are not them.
If there is a greater example of the corruption in the Supreme Court, I haven't seen one.
Wait. They're appointees
Did they forget to carve out for themselves?
I guess technically they're appointees, and they can be fired without cause as long as both chambers decide that whatever non-cause they dream up is enough cause to impeach and remove them, but herding enough cats to make that a practical reality is a high enough bar that they're obviously not worried.
no uh, they just said the president can fire whatever appointee he wants to, except the reserve head guy!
no take backs
As I pointed out elsewhere, their carve-out is in the constitution.
