While investors fixate on the AI boom, a warning from a group of Wall Street bankers whose job is to help the U.S. government borrow went unnoticed.

After U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed two people in Texas and Maine last week, this week's Economist / YouGov Poll finds that 60% of Americans have heard about the recent killings. It appears that the news has not spread equally across the political spectrum: While the overwhelming majority (78%) of Democrats say have read, seen, or heard anything about the killings last week, smaller shares of Independents (55%) and Republicans (51%) say the same.

Greenland Energy, a start-up American oil company linked to the sinister Trumpf junta, is preparing to illegally sink wells in remote Greenland -- despite not having received permission from the local authorities.

This company hired the abhorrent Dr Phil for publicity or somesuch
A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless. AI might give us the pleasure of finding out what happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers.
This disillusionment is infectious. One person speaks of it and others begin nodding: They too have felt it, the drop in motivation, the sense of being distant from their work, the lack of sleep, the concerns about the future.
These conversations inevitably turn to fundamental questions about careers: What the fuck are we actually doing? What the fuck is the point of all of this?

An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities. As the US president renews his threats to claim the vast Arctic territory, materials to prepare for drilling were brought ashore in recent days on Greenland's eastern coast. That has prompted Greenland's government to issue a "strong warning" that no approval had been granted to land the kit. "All future logistical matters must be advised and approved by the mineral resources authority " before they are carried out," the government said in a statement. Two days later, Trump made his latest menacing post on Truth Social, showing himself looming over a Greenlandic village.
Islamomisist Scott LoBaido (61), the MAGA activist who suffered a myocardial infarction while stalking NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), sent a banner over NYC warning His Honor to stay away from the 25th commemoration ceremony of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) next month. Nota Bene: The banner misspelled Zohran Mamdani's name. Moreover, the popular NYC mayor attended a 9/11 ceremony with King Charles III earlier this year without this type of right-wing xenophobic uproar, but that was before the devastating AIPAC primary election losses this month.
Scott Lobaido is not a good human being
