Only Donald Trump could do this - pause in the middle of prepared comments to question the writing of the person who prepared them while showing he's never stepped out for a half-gallon of milk - and not get absolutely lambasted with criticism for a major gaffe.

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

I've heard all the arguments both for and against legalizing online gambling. What I think is missing from that conversation is the fact that it's not really just gambling online that has been legalized. What has been legalized is extraction, and the new methods of extraction that are possible using the internet and mobile devices. These companies have identified a group of people with a monetizable compulsion, and we have legalized the tools needed to industrially harvest money from them.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."

I genuinely think the role of Meta specifically in driving loneliness is underrated. Facebook replaced existing ways of keeping up with friends with what was briefly a great product, then destroyed that product.

Whether it's liberal students booing Charles Murray or conservative presidents sending innocent fathers to die in El Salvadoran torture prisons, there's been plenty of incivility on both sides of the political spectrum.
