Mean reversion will be a hellava drug
I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.
Bring the capitol police next time. These paramilitary hired thugs have no real authority to do shit.
Private mercenaries costumed to look like legitimate law enforcement. Not surprised it’s that Blackwater guy. Unbelievable
Worth your time - what might future AI Firms look like? An interesting take on the scale implications of AGI.

Dear Democrats, PLEASE LISTEN. Oppose, Oppose, Oppose

So much this. No matter the countless times in history where the GOP doesn’t ever give an inch, the Dems once again display utter spinelessness in the name of collegiality. When will they learn that they are being taken for fools?
me: "the reason modern politics has gone insane is that an international class of tech oligarchs and authoritarians have teamed up to create an information environment dominated by social media memes that effectively control public opinion"
trump: "what if tiktok was co-owned by Xi and myself"
For sure!
Lemon8 is owned by - surprise! - ByteDance. Same owners as TikTok
January 2025 as a meme
It’s kind of unbelievable if Americans just picked this up entirely on their own.
Calling out for anyone who can figure out the receipts on how the trend of moving from TikTok to RedNote and Lemon8 started - was this a truly organic “fuck you for banning TikTok” trend, or was it seeded by Chinese state-controlled accounts and/or algorithmically amplified on TikTok?
The sanewashing
what it literally comes down to is PEOPLE ADOPT OPINIONS THEY THINK ALL THEIR FRIENDS SHARE and social media creates a very strong sense of what the popular consensus on any given topic is (e.g., “Biden bad”) even though it’s godawful at providing people with any kind of underlying factual support
The Lake Street Dive version is the best, no reason to listen to any other
If you’re fond of calling others “NPCs,” you might want to take a hard look in the mirror and consider why it is that you need to feel superior.
All of the real scorecards are internal, but you’re stuck comparing yourself to others and judging that you’re better. Are you playing the right game?

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
