A bipartisan group of gay cheesemakers… wait, that’s not what bipartisan means? Oh, ok… A bipartisan group of politicians has unveiled a new bill that would forbid lawmakers from trading individual stocks, leading Nancy Pelosi to shit an entire gold brick.

The bill has been put forward by the most Texas Republican sounding man ever, Chip Roy, and the most Rhode Island Democrat sounding man ever, Seth Magaziner.

If passed, the bill would require current lawmakers (AND their spouses AND their children, wtf?) to sell their stocks within 180 days and new Congress members to sell off stock holdings before being sworn in. Failure to do so would result in a fine of 10% of that stock value and maybe certain death. Damn girl, chillax.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was seen shortly after the announcement marching down a corridor house-yelling into her phone, “I DON’T FUCKING CARE WHAT IT COSTS, SELL IT ALL!”

Pelosi has long been dogged by accusations of insider trading, exacerbated last year by her husband’s profitable sale of Visa stock shortly before a DoJ antitrust lawsuit against the company. The link is somewhat circumstantial, and no concrete evidence currently exists of Pelosi’s insider trading. Pelosi has even publicly spoken in support of greater regulation, which is exactly what she would say, wouldn’t she? Nevertheless, the running joke has come to exemplify the image of Democratic politicians as a corrupted elite, unlike all other elites, which are perfect.

HOT TIP: If you’re a Democrat, simply rinse and repeat this same critique, but against Marjorie Taylor Greene.

A Bill 65 Million Years In The Making

This isn’t the first time such bills have been proposed, but it does seem to represent a more bipartisan, combined effort. Just last month, Senator Josh Hawley’s Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (yes, that spells out PELOSI) bill passed through a crucial committee just last month. Ironically, Nancy Pelosi herself supported the bill.

Currently, the STOCK Act of 2012 (also voted for by Pelosi) requires lawmakers to disclose any trades over $1,000 within 30 days or pay a $200 fine. However, many believe the law does not go far enough. I personally think it should go even further and forbid politicians from using even money. They should be forced to trade seashells instead.

It seems that the general public’s widespread desire to see more fairness for lawmakers has made its way to Washington. Support is growing for some kind of increased restrictions. Maybe handcuffs when they visit the bank?

Let’s see what happens, but until any such bill passes, I’m doubling down on my Pelosi portfolio.

In a landmark ruling, regulators announced today that Google may continue operating its Android and Chrome empires but only if it shares its data with other companies and finally admits that “Incognito Mode” is about as private as shouting your search history from a moving train.

According to the Department of Justice, Google’s so-called “Incognito” feature has “misled millions into thinking their browsing was invisible, when in reality it was like putting on sunglasses and assuming you’re invisible at a nightclub.”

The compromise lets Google keep its two most valuable products, but forces the company to pull the plug on Incognito Mode, which officials described as “essentially just regular Chrome with a trench coat and fake mustache.”

“We Found Out What You’re Really Doing at 2AM”

One DOJ lawyer explained:

“People thought Incognito Mode was like a digital invisibility cloak. Turns out, it’s more like a cardboard box over your head with holes cut out. Everyone can still see you, especially Google.”

Millions of Americans are now realizing that every late-night search for “does my cat secretly judge me” or “how to make a flamethrower with household items” has been proudly filed away in Google’s servers, next to Grandma’s Gmail chain letters.

Google stock dipped briefly after the ruling, before bouncing back when analysts remembered that Incognito Mode was mostly just used by dudes named Kyle hiding their “stepmom stuck in dryer” binges.

One trader shrugged:

“Honestly, Google losing Incognito Mode is like McDonald’s being forced to admit the McRib isn’t real meat. Everyone already knew.”

In a statement, Google said:

“We respect the court’s decision, but want to remind users that even without Incognito Mode, you can still clear your history every 6 to 8 minutes like a totally normal, well-adjusted human being.”

Meanwhile, regulators hinted that similar cases may be coming:

Apple might be asked to prove “Private Browsing” isn’t just Safari with a darker theme.

Microsoft Edge will be forced to prove someone, *anyone*, actually uses it.

Moral of the story: If you really want to browse privately, just throw your laptop in the ocean and move to a cave.

In a story that was ALREADY COMPLICATED ENOUGH THANK YOU, Trump’s tariffs, which seem to go back and forth between existing and not existing just got another bump towards the void of unreality with a US appeals court ruling that the tariffs are illegal. WHat?

Idk, I really don’t know, like what’s the point, really? Was all this a waste of time? I’ve written dozens, DOZENS of these articles now and learnt nothing from the whole process. So was it all a complete waste of time? Yes.

See, I’ll do this article be like ohhh here we go the tariffs are going and then tomorrow they’ll be back up again. Like, why?

Couldn’t we have just left things as it was? I really liked the world before I even knew what a tariff was. Yeah. That world was great. Although, tbh, I still don’t know. Now sure you do either though.

I used to be someone. People used to know my name. Now I’m here telling you that a dumb thing that was dumb that maybe never happened is about to get undone. What is this Y2K?

God, I’m probably going to have to write about this lawsuit again very shortly, aren’t I? Oh jesus christ.

You ever go down to the well and haul up a bucket full of clear crisp water and take a big swig but then you get ill and die a week later? All because you didn’t realise a goat had fallen down there and died? And you’d accidentally drunk the rotten corpse? Yeah, that’s what these tariffs feel like right now. Lord help us.

In other news, Trump isn’t dead! So that’s fun. Seems like this guy can survive anything so who knows, maybe these tariffs will pull through after all.

Any way, now you’re all well informed, watch this space. Report back tomorrow and I’ll let you know what’s changed (spoiler alert: not much).

Beans team, away!

Ok, I admit that’s a slightly misleading headline to get you to click on this article, shoot me. You see, Anthropic, makers of the AI ‘Claude’, have reached a preliminary settlement BUT they don’t have to cough up a trillion smackerloonies, that would be crazy. No, that’s just what some calculate to be the worst-case scenario.

How they calculated it idk, I guess just added up every Claude prompt at 10% royalties? Yeah, not sure that’s how that works. Either way, even if the numbers a lot lower, it could potentially cripple the AI company.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to explain what the suit was about. So it’s basically a bunch of authors, like of books and things, have got together to say that Claude being trained on their work then selling it as a product is copyright infringement and ngl yeah, I think it might be.

Either way this sets a crazy precedent for the rest of the AI industry (AII if you will). Can just anyone sue if their work gets used?

Will the New York Times suit against OpenAI and Disney’s suit against Midjourney pull through after all?

Only time (and a judge) will tell.

In the meantime pretty much half this site’s content is AI generated so I guess we’re going down too. What I’m going to do to avoid having to pay any pos author is rewrite everything AI has ever written on this site. I’m going to go through with a fine tooth comb and a thesaurus and swap out every single word for a synonym. And I’m going to start with this next paragraph:

A synonym a synonym a synonym a synonym a synonym a synonym. A synonym a synonym a synonym. a synonym, a synonym a synonym, a synonym a synonym. A synonym a synonym, “A synonym, a synonym a synonym a synonym; a synonym?”

You know what, this is going to take forever… imma just get an AI to do it.

What you gonna do, SUE ME?!

During a recent earnings call, Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said that the U.S. Government “has not published a regulation codifying such requirement.” The ‘such requirement’ being the 15% cut of H20 (water) chip sales to China China, meaning that those sales just ain’t happening, buster.

Nvidia then went on to say that “any request for a percentage of the revenue by the USG may subject us to litigation, increase our costs, and harm our competitive position and benefit competitors that are not subject to such arrangements.” Wait, what? I thought they already agreed to it?

It’s a real shame, because otherwise Nvidia’s had a really good run lately. They beat out all of Wall Street’s estimates for the quarter. $46.7 billion revenue. 56% year on year jump. $26.4 billion profit. That’s a 59% jump in quarterly profits. Themes is some sweet sweet number.

But with no sales to China China China China the company is now seeing a 3%, no wait, 4% now, slump. Well, it’s just swings and roundabouts isn’t it.

Look, Trump’s got better things to do than push through this whole 15% kickback thing. He’s got a Nobel Prize to win, Epsteins to distance himself from, logo rebrands to critique and China to China China China China China China. Yes, Nvidia is the backbone of America’s chip industry (not like those losers over at Intel) and yes, this was the government’s idea in the first place but hey, whadayagonnado?

Tech innovation, meet government bureaucracy.

China.

Oh wait, there is one more thing. Trump did float that maaaaaybe he’d be open to Nvidia selling a version of their Blackwell processor to China (China). I guess just completely forgetting the H20 deal. On the earnings call, Nvidia did say this was a real possibility.

So what’s going to happen next? I don’t know. Why you looking at me? I’m not a fortune teller. Jesus. Why don’t you go read some actual news for once.

After learning nothing from Jaguar’s disastrous rebrand last year, Cracker Barrel recently unveiled a redesigned logo that everyone hated. The sleeker, more minimalist design removed the image of the cracker and the barrel, because honestly, with the text too, it was just a hat on a hat.

But now, after massive backlash and a 7% share drop, the crackers over at the barrel have caved to the pressure and reverted back to the old logo, in what might be the most expensive branding U-turn since HBO rebranded as HBO GO, then HBO NOW, then HBO max, then just ‘max’, then back to HBO max, before finally combining them all into HBO GO NOW MAX!

Take that, communists.

The change was somehow dragged into America’s ongoing culture war and dubbed a ‘woke’ rebrand. Because remember, ‘woke’ is a catch-all word that simply means anything that you don’t like. Please, use it liberally. (Unless you’re an actual liberal, in which case don’t you fucking dare.)

Honestly, the old one always creeped me out. Why are you staring at me? What do you know? WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

Even President Trump (whose favorite pastime is ‘getting in on the nonsense’) got in on the nonsense, saying, “Congratulations ‘Cracker Barrel’ on changing your logo back to what it was. All of your fans very much appreciate it”. Like, wtf, ‘fans’? Who cares?

I get it, it was a bad redesign, going the way of so many modern logos: flat, simple and just a bit more boring, all in an effort to look better on an iPhone screen. But the backlash has been a bit much, guys, let’s rein it in. Why is the President weighing in? Shouldn’t he be busy having sex with children or whatever it is presidents do?

Cracker Barrel’s Muffled Response From Inside A Barrel

Anyway, here’s the company’s full statement: “We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our ‘Old Timer’ will remain. At Cracker Barrel, it’s always been – and always will be – about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family. As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon.”

Thanks ChatGPT for that one…

By the way, don’t you just love how the committee-ised marketing speak statements always spin everything into a positive, desperately avoid admitting any mistake and somehow manage to ram in an advert in there?

It’s never, “Yeah, we fucked up, lol.” It’s always, “Here at Baby-Organ Harvesting Corp, we’re proud of our dozens of customers who are always keen to speak up. Well, we hear you! As of today, we’ll be reinstating our mascot Baby Bucher Billy on all branding material at all 400 of our worldwide, award-winning, currently open stores.” Like, just shut up, please.

Maybe we all got played, maybe this was all a big marketing stunt to make headlines and HBO knew exactly what they were doing this whole time…

Viking investors (like angel investors but with horns) were disappointed by the drug company’s latest trial data, leading to a massive 43% stock price dip. But hey, at least someone’s losing weight.

Viking Therapeutics’ new weight loss pill was about as effective as other pills on the market. Great! But the side effects and discontinuation rates were way worse. Not so great!

Share price fell from $42.09 to $23.80, which would be a success on the scales in any other situation. Diet pills are big money now, what with the hype around Ozempic, and Viking was seen as a frontrunner, but I guess the crown for World’s Biggest Loser will have to go to someone else. Maybe Eli Lilly or Novo Nordisk who have obesity drugs that’ll hit shelves years before Viking’s catchily named VK2735.

Oh, and Pfizer. They’re also in the race. Remember them? Yeah, not just your favorite microchip injector.

Jared Holz, Mizuho health care equity strategist, said in an email Tuesday that the data “probably shutters hope for [Viking] to be a bigtime player in the oral obesity market over the near to medium term.” Bet he’s fun at parties.

In related news, the FDA recently altered previous nutritional advice to add an additional food group just for diet pills. The government now recommends that people take ozempic as part of their five a day.

In a big red flag to crypto fans worldwide, investment firm, BlackRock just dumped 490 $BTC worth about $68.7 million dollars USD, while looking shiftily over their shoulder. We’re screwed.

After years of championing the “digital gold” narrative, Wall Street’s biggest kid on the playground, BlackRock, has suddenly started acting like it knows a secret about Bitcoin, and no, it’s not just that your neighbor’s cousin is about to shill another NFT project.

Despite launching a Bitcoin ETF with the kind of fanfare usually reserved for Marvel movies and presidential indictments, BlackRock analysts were spotted whispering in hushed tones, trading USB sticks like contraband, and nervously glancing at the “₿” key on their Bloomberg terminals. Sources inside the firm suggest they may have stumbled upon something terrifying: that Bitcoin might actually… go down sometimes.

“We thought it only went up,” said one junior analyst, staring at a candlestick chart like it was an abstract art piece. “Now it’s red. Does that mean it’s bleeding?”

Rumors are swirling that BlackRock has access to classified “Satoshi files,” an encrypted set of documents allegedly proving that Bitcoin was invented not by a mysterious cryptographer, but by a guy who just really hated banks and was bad at explaining things at parties.

Meanwhile, retail investors are left speculating on Reddit and TikTok about what BlackRock “knows.” Popular theories include:

Bitcoin secretly runs on the same server as Club Penguin.
Larry Fink accidentally pressed “sell all” on his Robinhood account.
Satoshi Nakamoto is alive and currently working at a Waffle House in Nevada.

Despite the panic, BlackRock has reassured clients. “We are committed to the long-term value of Bitcoin,” the firm said in a statement, “unless it goes down, in which case we never liked it anyway.”

Crypto Twitter remains unconvinced. One influencer with laser eyes photoshopped onto his dog declared: “This is just FUD. BlackRock doesn’t know anything. Also, buy my course on how to become a millionaire in 3 days by trading Pepe tokens.”

For now, all eyes remain on BlackRock’s next move. If they start quietly buying gold, shorting Coinbase, or ordering suspicious amounts of Ledger wallets on Amazon Prime, it might be time to panic. Until then, Bitcoin hodlers are doing what they do best: refreshing charts at 3 a.m. and insisting “it’s just a dip.”

Google Accidentally Declares War on Non-Custodial Wallets, Then Says “Oops”

In what experts are calling “the biggest digital whoopsie since someone hit reply-all in 2009,” Google accidentally outlawed non-custodial crypto wallets on the Play Store then swore they didn’t mean it.

The Great Wallet Panic of 2025

It all began on July 10, when Google quietly updated its Play Store policies. Unfortunately, that “quiet” was short-lived once people read the fine print. The update implied that any crypto wallet, custodial or not, would need to be licensed like a bank in 15 countries, including the U.S., the UK, and Canada.

This was the bureaucratic equivalent of telling every lemonade stand in America to get FDA approval, a liquor license, and an MBA.

Crypto Community Reacts

Within hours, crypto lawyers, privacy advocates, and armchair Twitter economists were describing the policy as everything from “regulation by monopoly” to “a quiet coup on crypto.” One particularly dramatic post simply read: “Google = The Final Boss.”

Some users began frantically moving their coins to hardware wallets, while others downloaded Farm Goat Simulator 2023 just to see if it would still work before the entire Play Store collapsed into chaos.

Google’s Official Response: “Our Bad”

By Wednesday, the backlash had reached DEFCON-Meme. Google finally responded on X with the corporate equivalent of an embarrassed shrug:

“Thanks for flagging this. Non-custodial wallets are not in scope. We’ll update the Help Center to make this clear.”

Translated from PR-speak: “We were never banning them. We just wrote it in a way that made it look like we were banning them. Which is… technically… our fault.”

Why It Mattered

For the uninitiated, custodial wallets are like keeping your money in a bank, except the “bank” is a crypto exchange that might collapse at any moment. Non-custodial wallets, on the other hand, let you hold your own keys, meaning if you lose them, that’s entirely your problem.

FinCEN doesn’t consider non-custodial wallets to be banks or money services businesses, which is why Google’s “all wallets must be licensed” policy made exactly zero legal sense.

Crisis Averted (For Now)

After a flurry of headlines, frantic tweets, and at least one think-piece titled “Google’s Policy is Proof the Cypherpunk Dream is Dead,” Google promised to fix the wording and restore peace to the crypto galaxy.

At press time, non-custodial wallet developers were cautiously celebrating, though many admitted they’ll be reading Google’s next policy update with the same paranoia normally reserved for haunted houses and NFT roadmaps.

In a move that might just destroy the entire global economy, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has demanded that the Fed cut the inflation rate by one billion base points.

In an interview with Bloomberg today, Bessent said, “I think we could go into a series of rate cuts here, starting with a 50 basis point cut in September. If you look at any model, we should probably be 150, 175 basis points lower.” Bessent continued to say off camera in a low whisper just to me, “Actually, I think it should be more like one TRILLION!”

Inflation rates stayed steady at 2.7% in July, but Trump, Bessent, and the rest of the White House want that to be at least 1.5% to 1quadrillion% lower than that.

Following data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bessent said they could have cut rates in June and July but didn’t. Jay Powell looking extra sweaty rn.

In the same interview, Bessent said that Trump’s unprecedented tax, sorry, ‘bribe’, sorry ‘revenue-share’ of 15% of Nvidia and AMD Chinese chip exports could be expended to other sectors. “I think we could see it in other industries over time. I think right now this is unique, but now that we have the model and the beta test, why not expand it?” …because you’ve not tested it yet, Scott.

Anyway, that’s about all there is on this news story today, but I’ve still got a word count to hit so let’s see what’s trending on X… #TrumpEpsteinFiles, #TrumpisontheEpsteinList, #Trumpstein, oh, ok, so nothing new then.

Back to work, people!
