If you enjoyed his wild answers during the mayoral debate you'll love: - the award he was given by Richard Nixon! - how he got disqualified from a matzoh ball eating contest! - the gay wedding he officiated! - his terrible security practices and the secrets I never wanted to read as a result!

I wrote this, because a guy on my block told me he was thinking of liquidating his life savings ($10k) so that his money didn’t disappear. Showing him a single graph talked him out of it. I hope it’s helpful to someone.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

some talking points other than the obvious if you need them: - this is governmental overreach - this increases the chances of having to strip at the airport for *everyone* - what about intersex people - this is wasteful and inefficient and a dumb use of government resources

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

This was just 233 days ago:
Sotomayor’s dissent in Trump v. United States: “Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today.

Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.”

Here’s what I’m watching for: allowing unqualified people to be declared contracting officers or allowing non-contracting officers to award contracts. Otherwise they have to convince a bunch of career COs to break the law, and that’s going to be difficult.

my biggest instinct this week, other than ordering a copy of my birth certificate, has been to celebrate the heroism of americans, especially federal employees, who are refusing to comply with tyranny. This will be a thread of their names/photos/actions, until I find a better way to honor them.

fwiw, this is a core principle in the new religion that James Rodgers (Stephen Miller lackey) created by mashing up the Book of Mormon and Jordan Peterson. he discusses this in a section called “Pathological Altruism”
