Ten years ago, If someone had asked me what Noam Chomsky, Bill Clinton, Peter Attia, Donald Trump, Stephen Hawking, Larry Summers, and Bill Gates all have in common, I would not, in a million years, have guessed.

I know this is the wrong crowd for this but, I have an important test that I apply to new technologies that people think are going to fix everything. I ask "how does this help with the housing crisis?"
Invariably (so far) it does not.

This gets us one step closer toward the final form of Tesla, where the only thing it sells is pieces of paper that say “we swear this isn’t a Ponzi scheme.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday that the automaker is ending production of its Model S and X vehicles, and will use the factory in Fremont, California, to build Optimus humanoid robots. cnb.cx/4rp70Xq

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it.
Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior.
Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

Hello! During our yearly fundraiser I pop balloons that have tasks inside of them. The tasks are, like “Pretend to be a crab, you have to do a good job” or “sing Smash Mouth’s All Star in a Terrible British Accent” or “Eat a banana filled with mayonnaise and pickles”.
PLEASE SUGGEST TASKS!!

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

If you’re Dems, please coalesce around Stephen Miller not having a job anymore.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

He’s sweating so much right now but if he escapes this it will only embolden him.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.
Gregory Bovino must also be fired.
No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti.
Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have continued lying straight to our face.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.
