Dear Billionaires Who Supported Trump:

You really need to think about these things more seriously, even if you're motivated purely by self-interest, which you shouldn't be.

Your first priority should be the rule of law. Think of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and the ten years he spent in jail.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

Government should NEVER be run like a corporation.

A corporation is a wealth-concentration engine. It funnels wealth from many to few.

Government is its polar opposite, distributing resources in a way that benefits everyone.

Running government like a business just makes for bad government.

Jimmy Carter Appreciation 🧵:

As we mourn Carter's death, there will be lots of discussion of his presidency and his post-presidential exploits, including his work with @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the @cartercenter.bsky.social.

But I want to talk about Carter and the federal judiciary....

Used #NotebookLM to create an AI podcast about SB1047 and the controversy around it leading to Governor @GavinNewsom’s veto, and included Senator @Scott_Wiener’s response.

Congress should ask @hlntnr and @TashaMcCauley to help write legislation ASAP. The two women, who tried to change the trajectory of AGI, were silenced and removed from the Board. AGI shouldn’t be regulated by capitalism.
