Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

Outstanding piece.
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly.
Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

@pablo.show Please find out why Trae Young’s white uniform has an extra red stripe down the left side! It’s not on his right hand side, nor on any other Hawk player’s uniform at all! … regardless of right or left. Stripe extends both on jersey side panel and down his shorts as well.

the rain delay in the 10th inning of game 7 of the World Series in 2016. The Cubs were not supposed to win a World Series and we've been spinning off into hell ever since
What do yall think was the nexus event that created this branch in the timeline?
I’m torn between the Cats movie and when people were licking gallons of ice cream in the grocery store and putting it back.

Dear Mr. Musk,

What we found out is that each one of us is

1. a brain
2. and an athlete
3. and a basket case
4. a princess
5. and a criminal.

Does that answer your question?

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?
Yeah I need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it because my shit is difficult right now. But it's important in ways even I haven't been able to work out. OpenAI is a serious business. Help me. Please help me please my serious company is so good. Help me

New from me:

“The way I see it “woke” combines the experience of having an awakening (“something or someone woke me up”) with the alertness that follows (“I can’t or won’t go back to sleep; I’m awake now.”) In that way, “woke” is an incredible concept, right?”
I’ve been thinking about “woke.”
It was bound to happen eventually, I guess.

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people.

If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work.
