The D.C. mayor should have the legal ability to declare impromptu days off for everyone when it's as perfect out as it is today. Follow me for more brilliant and totally workable policy ideas.

Is Starbucks hoping to bring what it did to coffee to Chipotle, or is Chipotle going to bring what it did to fast-casual Tex-Mex to Starbucks?

I cannot believe that Vivek Ramaswamy is losing in Ohio, a state that the GOP has made ground zero for its attacks on people of color and 'foreigners.'

Asking the wrong question
The most frequently asked question* of a futurist or foresight professional is “What is something that you predicted that came true?”. I understand the impulse, even if it’s the wrong question.

I ask this genuinely, and not as a naive baby—Do you think there is anyone in the White House right not tasked with or actively developing “a healthcare plan?” Because I don’t think there is.

You know, if AI could teach recommendation systems about product lifecycle, so that—for instance—I don’t get a year of recommendations for a refrigerator after buying one, that would be a tremendously welcomed advance.

I don’t know what the actual crime is here? He had bots stream a song? I am sure there are RECORD COMPANIES using bots & other tools to goose streaming numbers if their clients. Is the crime scale? Because I don’t know if tech cos want to criminalize scale. He didn’t steal anyone’s music. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Given that Tyreek Hill is a free agent and SOME team is going to sign him, it's important to circulate stories like this which should just be a REMINDER that Tyreek Hill is a dangerous criminal and if you've rooted for him any time since 2014, you've been knowingly rooting for a dangerous criminal.

This is the thing I keep saying about the four D.C.s. 1. Cynical: the shorthand for dirty politics, see also “Beltway” 2. Hopeful/Poignant: Sorkin’s D.C., sometimes Capra’s 3. Postcard: The source of much of the nation’s iconography (memorials, White House, Mall) 4. City where people live/work

The X-Men team (the public facing hero squad) in this idea should be made up of Cyclops and then Morlocks. “Sorry, I know you all wanted Frank Quietly-Emma to rescue you, but our team is Glob Herman, Anole, Marrow, Scaleface, and Litterbug.”

Here’s the thing, it’s clear that this Russia/Ukraine war note is a GOP issued talking point. Asking a follow-up question or making a follow-up point like above would catch all these yahoos out, as all they have is the initial talking point.

Russia is being attacked in retaliation for a war that it started. If it doesn’t want its refineries bombed it can … just stop invading Ukraine. A point I wish was made during these interviews.
