The striking claim here isn’t just that AI is useful. It’s that it may be ‘industrial revolution’ scale. If that’s even half right, the issue isn’t one occupation. It’s how work gets reorganized across the economy.

The platypus has a sixth sense — it picks up signals invisible to everyone else. That's what good economics gives you. The promise: see clearly in murky waters.

When politicians zoom in from the whole economy to one carton of eggs, that's not a macro forecast. That's culinary cherry-picking.

Politicians love visible gestures. Economists ask the annoying follow-up: does it work? ⁣ ⁣ On gas tax holidays, the answer was basically no then, and no now.

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

Consumer sentiment is near a 75-year low.⁣ ⁣ But increasingly, these surveys may be measuring partisanship as much as economics.⁣ ⁣ In other words, they may be asking “Do you like the president?” as much as “Do you like the economy?”

Right now, the AI boom mostly shows up as investment: chips, data centers, infrastructure. ⁣ ⁣ The real question is whether those foundations eventually help workers and firms do more with less.

Two weeks in, Platypus Economics is doing well. But to really succeed, we need sponsors. It's simple economics, really. Insight: I bet some of my Platypals work in the real world, with real jobs, and advertising budgets. If that's you, reach out: sponsor@platypuseconomics.com

"Stocks just had a great month because they previously had a terrible month." That’s not a boom; that’s a rebound from a scare.

If there’s a water shortage, don’t subsidize showers. If there’s a blackout, don’t make AC cheaper. If there’s an oil shortage, don’t cut gas taxes. Prices are helping signal scarcity. A gas tax holiday weakens that signal right when it matters most.

🚨 ICYMI: Kentucky’s Senate primary showed the growing power of Trump’s endorsement inside the GOP. Andy Barr won decisively after Trump endorsed him and a major rival exited the race for an ambassadorship role. The seat Mitch McConnell held since 1984 is now heading to a Trump loyalist.

“If you don’t stay focused on the issue the American people want you to stay focused on and solve their problem, they’re not going to replace something with nothing.” @mitch-landrieu.bsky.social weighs in on Democrats reportedly shutting down Trump impeachment talks for this year.

Ramping at Queensland hospitals is still an ongoing problem 18 months into the Crisafulli government. The problem of hospital overload is complex & requires much more work from the parliament than an opposition simply winning government. #qldpol

Not to mention, gunning down people for trying to help a tear gassed victim, or saying "I'm not mad at you."

The future of Thames Water is very important to residents and I have been raising a number of issues on their behalf. The government will always act in the national interest on these issues, and while the company remains financially stable, the government stands ready for all eventualities.

“everything here just feels like someones first two weeks in Blender and Unity thrown at the wall.” That was one of the first reviews we received on our demo, 2 years ago. But we didn't give up. Here's our final work:

Tom Adelsbach So yesterday Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.

Video shows a seaplane making an emergency landing on a Phoenix roadway after engine trouble. The pilot managed a fairly smooth landing, missing utility lines and traffic lights.

Iran claimt dat er een deal in de maak is waarbij Iran en Oman de controle over de Straat van Hormuz krijgen en de VS hun militaire aanwezigheid terugtrekt. Is dat volgens voormalig diplomaat Ron Keller een realistische uitkomst van de vredesonderhandelingen? #pauwendewit

That Gretzky quote "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" is so true for career pivots. 🤔 It inspired my latest Content Mavericks Club ep after chatting with @ellieknowler.bsky.social  about her courageous career change: https://youtu.be/KOCdIL6DKg4 #CareerChange #ContentMavericksClub

Copiei da Ju cerasoli kkkkkkkkkkk Russell falando na coletiva agora, do lado do Kimi, que não se ultrapassa por fora naquela curva em que o Antonelli tentou. "Parabéns por ele por ter tentado". "Nem foi investigado e isso diz tudo". Imagina a cara do italiano. Amooooooooo

Don't get it twisted: the MAGA decision to make millions go hungry and cut universal programs this November is about entrenching white supremacy.

No one should be shot for exercising their rights. Renee Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis, should be alive today. As Police Chief O’Hara says, “people have had enough.” We need accountability NOW. Sign our petition to hold ICE accountable. Link in reply.

With @jackslackmma.bsky.social talking about Phil Davis' hammerlock finish of Tim Boetsch but not remember the exact opponent, figured I'd show it off. Davis was a very frustrating fighter to watch, but I loved his ground work so much.

Sec. Marco Rubio claims the “war is over” during his hearing to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Meanwhile, on planet earth, Iran walked out of negotiations yesterday, the Hormuz is still shut down, and American troops are still in harm's way.

The Pentagon is completely humiliated. Iran brilliantly executed a massive saturation attack using ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones, completely overwhelming the US Patriot defense systems. Trump's disastrous war has left American bases completely defensele
