THE LOUVRE
The password for the video surveillance system at the Louvre (the most famous museum on earth) was… wait for it: Louvre.
If that’s not bad enough, a 2014 security assessment determined that the Louvre network was: – Riddled with trivial passwords – Comprised of outdated systems – Camera feeds able to be manipulated – Badge access able to be modified Yikes.
Fast forward to 2015.
The 2015 security assessment encountered “software so old it should’ve been in a museum exhibit of its own.”
Fast forward to 2025.
SURELY, security has gotten better by now, right? Wrong again. Apparently, much of that same infrastructure was/is still in use and wait for it…. running on Windows Server 2003.

When you realize the intro of the famous song “smoke on the water” by @_DeepPurple is the intro of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony played backward. Mind-blowing.

EXHAUSTION
War exhaustion in Stellaris functions as a strategic mechanic designed to limit the duration and scope of conflicts, effectively acting as a weapon of war by compelling a resolution when one side can no longer sustain the conflict.

Today in the Supreme Court, the government’s own attorney admitted that the American people will pay 30-80% of Trump’s tariffs. These tariffs are an unlawful tax on working families. Trump sells tariffs as a money machine, telling Americans, “we’re taking in trillions and trillions of dollars.” His own Solicitor General told the Supreme Court a different story today: “These are regulatory tariffs. They are not revenue‐raising tariffs.”

Feast for me, famine for you

One way to think about Elon’s $1 trillion compensation package is that, if he took just 1/46th of that and set it aside, he could have covered what USAID spent in 2024.

Minimum wage is $7.25
CEO BRADLEY TUSK supports Zohran even though he’ll raise his taxes, warns fellow millionaires: ‘If we’re not careful, we’ll end up with Elon and 25 trillionaires and unemployment at 19% – that just means the French Revolution.” Musk gets paid a Trillion!!!!!

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Creepy billionaires pursuing a secret plan to see to it that an “aristocracy” of creepy billionaires rules America. What could possibly go wrong.

Guys like Grant Cardone want to personally benefit from public roads, police, fire departments, the military, courts, food inspectors, etc. but they want to skip out on the bill.
Often these guys are the biggest advocates of our many wars, which are very expensive.

A Harvard student told me something I can’t stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes.
But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they planned their entire college trajectory around don’t exist anymore.
AI made homework easier but made proving you deserve a job exponentially harder.

On socialism, this gentleman gets it.
Smart capitalists understand when all Americans are prospering, they’re going to do better, as well. The only people that don’t understand this are greed-driven billionaires who’d burn the entire country down for an extra dollar.
