Hey, @karaswisher.bsky.social, just saw you on with Dr. Mayim Bialik from 2ks ago. Great show, but you make one incorrect statement that many people seem to have internalized.
At the 18:37 mark, you say that China owns an enormous amount of our debt, and could therefore screw us:

Mongol emperor Genghis Khan killed over 30 million people in Asia while siring as many as 1000 children. Could tech entrepreneur Elon Musk do the same thing in the United States?

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

This is exactly what happens when you get a ruling class that has long aspired to live in Neal Stephenson novels
if the name "sauron" wasn't evil enough on its own, they just casually mention the idea of killbots and murdering their own employees out of paranoid delusions

yet another group of tech geeks who read Tolkien and have no clue what the fuck he was talking about 🙄
I swear, I wish the Tolkien estate would go after all these tech bros and their perverted use of names from his work, especially considering what most of them stand for are things he, to the best of my knowledge, was writing in opposition to.

So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.

And to prove it, you need a witness to whom you say good night and then good morning. And it is even better if you didn't go to bed at all. That *really* tends to confuse them.
I used to go to bed so late and get up so early that one day I found myself in the kitchen.
