Takeaways from the March Fed meeting: • The era of 'easy' cuts could be over. Last year's were a recalibration; the next ones have to be earned with better inflation data or downside risks being realized. • The dots weren't as hawkish as feared, but Powell told markets not to

An objectively wild career move and one I couldn’t be happier with or prouder of. The world needs more local reporters more than it needs more national ones and even if I go back to national reporting one day, I’ll be a much better reporter for this experience.

I was wondering why this guy disappeared from politics Twitter. Voluntarily going from NBC political reporter to editor of a regional newspaper covering a population of roughly 150k people seems like a wild career move, but if it makes you and your loved ones happy, go for it.

One of Claude’s best features is that it will often tell you to “go to sleep.” Can’t imagine chatGPT doing that- it acts like it is desperate for every last second of engagement. It’s so clear which one is healthier/better.

Gas prices have jumped about 50 cents a gallon since last week as the U.S.–Israel war with Iran disrupts global oil markets. Crude oil briefly topped $100 a barrel, driven by fears that fighting around the Strait of Hormuz — a key transit route for about 20% of the world’s oil —
