The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

This is exactly what they want. The defense department knows that China can simply take over Taiwan. There is nothing to prevent it. What they worry is that China would engage in war with the US first. They need to signal that first. But what about the chips? 1/5

Putin shows he can invade Ukraine with minimal reprisals.
Trump shows he can take over Venezuela with minimal reprisals.
It’s like they’re giving the nod to Xi Jinping to have a go?

Opus 4.5 is really quite something.

I know we're supposed to hate LLMs here and rue the cognitive atrophy they will inflict upon us all, but it's hard not to temper that view if one has read Phaedrus in which Socrates takes a similarly dismal view on the disruptive tech of his day: books.

Check out this 1923 transit plan commissioned by the Chicago City Council. We use to be insanely ambitious. A network like this would've supported Paris-level population densities.

Internally we’re calling it Project Tropic Thunder

Republicans and some Dems think that the government should be ran as a business(value creation and value capture). Many in the electorate think the same way sadly.

My theory is that this bipolar strategy of the WH comes down to a tug of war between the Technolobertarians vs MagaNationalist. The first thinks they can make these changes digested by markets and ask for extensions every time. This scenario delivers to both groups but the tag is not completed

yeah you hate Elon musk and tweet about it. I actively short Tesla, we are not the same

Trump is the party of destruction it’s going to be up the Democrats to be the party of construction and abundance !

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

My wife joined a call yesterday with our CO political representatives discussing how they are going about protecting the rights of their state constituents and it was heartening — they’re working hard right now.

I’m getting plugged in and involved locally.

Find your people; it’s time to mobilize.

Autocrats are attacking society and the opposition party is essentially in shock, retreating on all fronts while laying down cringe wordplay as covering fire.
