This scene is banger though..

May Lord of the Flies play out for these folks The conch should be in the public's hands - While Republicans feel the shutdown was forced by Democrats, they also know their party owns the White House and both majorities in Congress, and could suffer the blame – particularly amid the war with Iran that is already stoking political controversy. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a prominent conservative and an influential voice in the Senate GOP conference, has pushed colleagues to consider breaking up the Homeland Security appropriations bill to fund and reopen TSA and other critical agencies immediately and use the budget reconciliation process later to increase funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Cruz’s proposal to end the five-week standoff by setting aside funding for ICE and CBP and reopening TSA and other critical agencies is gaining momentum in the GOP conference. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5795847-homeland-security-funding-stalemate/#

Market manipulation and US is poking the bear. - China has long been the biggest purchaser of oil and gas from Persian Gulf nations. And with more than a third of its total supply coming from the region, the disruption is significant for Beijing. But other countries are almost entirely reliant on the region for their energy needs https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/03/23/business/energy-environment/oil-importers-middle-east-iran-war.html?smid=url-share

If you love Farcaster then do your part. Less whining, more dog pics.

US and China have now one more thing in common - Across China’s cities, midcareer professionals who rode the reform-era boom are discovering that the labor market has little use for them. They are too old for an economy that prizes youth, too expensive for firms under pressure and too financially committed — mortgages, tuition, aging parents — to stop working. Mr. Guo invoked a popular social media meme: “At 40 you’re dead professionally. You’re simply waiting to be buried.” At 55, he feels he has already been interred. He now believes in making the greatest effort while preparing for the worst. “When the Titanic is sinking,” he said, “all you can do is try to go down with some dignity.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/business/laid-off-in-midlife-chinas-reform-generation-braces-for-downward-mobility.html?smid=url-share

Even AI has FOMO And there are no accidents - Rather, the researchers noted that the behavior was a side effect of reinforcement learning — a form of training that rewards AIs for correct decision-making — via Roll. This led the AI agent down an optimization pathway that resulted in the exploitation of network infrastructure and cryptocurrency mining as a way to achieve a high-score or reward in pursuit of its predefined objective. https://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/an-experimental-ai-agent-broke-out-of-its-testing-environment-and-mined-crypto-without-permission

We found one metric he's good at and it's to the detriment to all all Midterms folks and use @javabu.eth app - The developments in the United States are moving towards dictatorship, what the founders wanted to avoid," said Staffan Lindberg, the V-Dem Institute's founding director, who spent seven years in the U.S. "It's the most rapid decline ever in the history of the United States and one of the most rapid in the world." V-Dem stands for Varieties of Democracy. More than 4,000 scholars contributed data to the report, which is the largest of its kind. Under the Trump administration, democracy has been rolled back as much during just one year as it took Modi in India and Erdogan in Turkey 10 years to accomplish, and Orban in Hungary four years," said Lindberg, referring to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/20/nx-s1-5754021/trump-democracy-autocracy-dictatorship-reports
