I don't get nearly enough credit for the things I manage not to say. Created the 1st BPA-Free water bottle. Starting a new co. to continue the fight against plastics & climate change. 'X' Refugee. Buddhist. It's not too late to save the planet.

My Gen Z son told me yesterday that his generation thinks previous generations looked "older and more mature" than kids today, which he says is due to lower testosterone/ estrogen levels caused by too much screen time. I politely disagreed.

I think anyone with a score over a hard '9' should be making amends to society.

I'm not telling what my score was, but I don't have to make any amends, if that's what you're thinking.

If they know "every address," why don't they just fire a Tomahawk missile into each of their houses? Most of them live in jungle FFS, far away from anyone else, so it's not like you're going to have a lot of collateral damage.

Oh, right. It's opposite day.

In order to cover the voracious electricity appetite of AI companies, over the next five years utilities will have to spend ... wait for it ... one TRILLION dollars to keep up.

Trillion. With a 'T'.

Amazing that you can do all those things. But here's the acid test. Can you make a phone call on a rotary phone?

Asking for a friend.😅

Good to see you back, Jelena! Have finished the B.P. and going out to seed funders in early '26. Hopefully we'll have things to talk about soon thereafter.

In the meantime, have a great holiday season!

Chip, so glad to see you here on BlueSky! You are one of the [few these days] people I've missed since fleeing the "Other Place." Keep those hilarious shorts coming.

...said the Orange Cheeto King to everyone in his base who've never had an MRI.

What an effing idiot. There's no such thing, of course, as an "outstanding" MRI result. It's either "everything's normal," or it's, "Yeah, your rotatator cuff is a mess and we need to operate."

When I first started reading, I thought she was talking about Trump. This is why they come up with sayings like, "Two peas in a pod."

The GOP built their brand on simple messaging that outflanked DEM policy wonk nerds.

1. Taxes are bad
2. Regulations are bad [b/c they're like taxes]
3. [Christian] religion is good
4. Abortion is bad
5. All social safety nets are bad [b/c they're for the lazy]

Unfortunately for them...
