Overnight news: Trump has again raised the idea of a third term in office. Bannon has given a Nazi salute. No need to worry obviously- they’re just trolling the libs

When Musk bought Twitter, there were offers of paid exits, code reviews, eliminating of diversity programs, cutting of rent payments, and a reliance on staffers from his companies to enact his plans.
All of that is playing out now in DC. Twitter was a blueprint.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.
Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

On 16th January 1995, he betted "that the Japanese stock market would not move significantly overnight." The Great Hanshin earthquake happened the morning after.

Says the CEO of HarperCollins on AI:
"One idea is a “talking book,” where a book sits atop a large language model, allowing readers to converse with an AI facsimile of its author."
