Terrible podcast, just terrible malpractice of journalism. It really really goes light on SBF and FTX. It was a terribly run company with no controls. I don’t think they even looked into the shit show that was ftx, and just focused on the bankruptcy.

From the debunked Laffer Curve (the foundation of trickle-down economics) to their cluelessness on tariffs and Elon’s bogus '$100B in government savings,' Republicans have proven time and time again that they don’t understand economics- and they are not the party of fiscal responsibility

Betty Boop’s iconic style? Inspired by Esther Jones, a Black jazz singer whose “boop-oop-a-doop” defined an era. Yet, history erased her credit. How many Black creatives shaped culture without recognition? Time to give flowers where they’re due. 💐💐 #BlackHistory

To summarize:

1) Leave "free speech!!1!!" Nazi enablers
2) Come to a nonprofit
3) Where you can make more money
4) And get lots of nice support
5) I'm just saying

So yes, this is my referral code, but I don't endorse stuff that I don't believe in. It's been good and I'm so glad I moved.

Since this appears to have upset some people: the job of the opposition IS TO OPPOSE. Stop telling us how you're willing to work with Trump for the workers and focus on telling us how you're for the workers and he's not.

Andreessen’s central gripe is that people don’t celebrate Silicon Valley today the way they did when it was small and cool.

Another way to put that is the used to be judged on their ambitions, and now they’re judged on their impacts.

That’s no fun for the victors, but it’s a necessary tradeoff.
