3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out!

It’s always funny how easy it is to nudge the social medium algorithms. I liked one post about bats and now my IG feed is full of bat videos (which is great)

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

The key to getting mainstream media on board with an illegal war is making them feel like an important part of it.

San Francisco’s first-ever Black history bike ride pedals off in Bayview Around 150 people pedaled from Downtown to Bayview for a day of history, celebration, and exercise.

Bayview resident Janet Allen-Williams has been to 19 Black History Month events this year.

But yesterday's was the first in which she spent the whole time sitting on a bike seat.

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

And it has happened: Hegseth and Trump declare Anthropic a supply chain risk.

Every company that has government contracts will be barred from using Claude code.

It is an attempt to outright destroy the company because they did not consent to mass surveillance of Americans and AI kill bots.

Wow.

College Campuses Are in Upheaval Over Faculty Ties to Epstein From small art schools to large public universities, the new DOJ release of emails reveals just how deep the financier’s influence in academia went. Students are demanding accountability.

The Epstein documents released weeks ago are full of university administrators, professors, and trustees. With students demanding transparency and accountability from their schools, academia faces a nationwide reckoning over how it courts and indulges deep-pocketed benefactors.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the β€œbaby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

My major new legislation, the Affordable Insurance and Climate Recovery Act, authorizes California's attorney general to sue fossil fuel companies and hold them accountable for the increased insurance costs they've caused. Stay tuned.

Lisa Gelobter - Wikipedia

Mamdani has named Lisa Gelobter as the city's new CTO, a great choice on many levels. She cares about the city and about New Yorkers, she has strong technical chops *and* a strong focus on equity, and she knows how to get things done

If you don't know her, fix that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Ge...

@elonmusk
For those unaware, Space has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.”
