We're in a protracted standoff right now over who Trump picks for treasury
1) Trump is dead serious about enormous tariffs
2) Trump also really wants STONKS to go up. He wants someone markets respect
It's really hard to see how he gets BOTH - part of why picking treasury is proving so hard

Coda: social media did not start out that way, but it evolved to be a tool for authoritarians. Crypto and AI are authoritarian BY DESIGN.
Think about that.
When Big Tech claims to be creating America’s future, authoritarianism is what they want.
Perhaps others should set America’s direction.

Fox, Rogan et al are really important, but you cannot sustain a collective delusion for 120+ million people with platforms that reach 5-10% of that. Big Tech is essential connective tissue to recruit, indoctrinate, organize, manipulate. In 2024, Big Tech stopped pretending to be neutral. 5/x

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

Seems like it’s time for me to explain again, why Ukraine cannot simply freeze the war and call it peace. 🧵Thread:

- Without a defense clause and troops on the ground from other countries, Ukraine will need a massive standing army to guard a frontline spanning over a thousand kilometers.

the american voters who chose this are far less responsible than the reps and appointees and judges in both parties who allowed trump to go unpunished in obvious violation of the public trust and their oaths of office
There's a reason democracies don't let people who tried coups back into power.

I read replies in one of Patrick Fox’s twitter posts. Consensus was they are excited to have things shaken up and think we should start over a lot of our government.
☹️ The govt that has overseen the creation of the best country in the world.
Buckle up and become a prepper

The new Defense Secretary says women shouldn’t be in combat. The new Ambassador to Israel says the West Bank and Gaza don’t exist. The new Homeland Security Secretary is a dogkiller. The new SoS had a dick-measuring contest with Trump. Musk—who secretly talks to Putin—has an illegal job.
It’s Day 7

Some people on bird app were making me feel sick today.
I wonder what the graph looks like for 9/11 conspiracy believers now versus 2011 or 2016.
🤔 My impression is it’s gone up significantly. 🫤
