G’morning. This raises a LOT of questions starting with, “have you read the First Amendment?”
“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

If you sent this message back in time to 1994, a mob would form and destroy Netscape Navigator.
a few takeaways:
- Musk is serious about building a software competitor to Microsoft, called Macrohard
- Grok has about 64 million monthly active users
- Musk's efforts to make Grok less woke & more popular triggered the 'white genocide' and MechaHitler incidents
- some employees quit over sexbots

It is so tiresome to hear all these commentators saying that Trump's actions are "unprecedented" or that we are in "unchartered" waters. They say so to avoid criticize the president, who deserves all the criticism he can get. /1

Sorry, @planetmoney.bsky.social , I don’t need Art Laffer’s opinion on if Trump’s tax cuts will pay for themselves. I know Laffer’s opinion there. He’s held it for nearly 50 years and he’s utterly, completely wrong.
